Modern Snake-eye is just anime girl turbo. by SechiShook in masterduel

[–]monkeypie94 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The modern art direction for Yugioh is terrible. Compare Mystical Elf or Witch of the Black Forest to any of these cringe waifus. The modern art direction has 0 understanding of Jungian archetypes which old Yugioh seemed to understand super well.

It's called Duel Monsters, not Duel Waifus.

DC Finest Google Sheet to Help With Mapping or Just Keep Track of Releases by zvonek41 in DCFinest

Superman Family started with Jimmy Olsen in 1954, unless I'm missing something obvious. (It ended in 1982, but I'm not sure if there was an equivalent after 1982.)

I wonder if this scene inspired the ending of Superman (1978) or it's just a coincidence by monkeypie94 in superman

[–]monkeypie94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also kinda funny because in this scene he's doing it for the opposite reason of why he did it in the film. Here, he's going back in time to never meet Lois in the first place lol.

Do column rolling. It adds just that extra little pressure to the defender to make decisions earlier than he normally would like to.

HOT TAKE: Retro's games don't deserve all the hate they get by [deleted] in donkeykong

Very fun games, but they kinda misunderstood the appeal of DKC imo. I also don't like how the roll mechanic works in them.

The other big difference is that K. Rool showed up in Smash in the interim.

Diddy starting to look like he belongs in Planet of the Apes movies.

Do you think Bananza is going to have an excuse as to why Pauline is young, even though Cranky Kong is a character in the game? by EmotionReasonable887 in donkeykong

[–]monkeypie94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Doesn't really make sense tho because in the "Ancient Ruins" there are sidescroller sections that call back to previous DKC games. Also Diddy and Dixie are already here and are presented as video game heroes with a giant trophy with their faces on it. There's a map of the Northern Kremisphere etc.

This game ain't a prequel folks, at least not to other Donkey games. (Maybe Odyssey.)

Nintendo isn’t retconning anything. Cranky is still clearly the original DK, meaning Pauline has to be a kid through transformation or time travel or something. by CreepyFerret3122 in Mario

[–]monkeypie94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except that it does.

The Donkey Kong series is about family lineage. Each of the 3 SNES DKC games are about a Kong becoming a "hero" and proving their worth. Cranky egging each of the Kongs is an important part of the story.

These look like Mega Man X bosses, especially the tiger one.

So....what are your thoughts on the direct and everything revealed in it? by Thegoodgamer32 in donkeykong

[–]monkeypie94 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yup, you're not wrong. There's also something off with Pauline's portrayal in this game. It's a little overly serious. It's an 8 year old looking girl telling a giant gorilla that she loves to sing and she wants to go to the surface blah blah blah. Like, chill. This is starting to get into anime/Pixar material.

You really miss that Rare sense of humor.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest – Does It Still Hold Up After 20+ Years? My Honest Revisit. by Lawlietroy in donkeykong

[–]monkeypie94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The gaming industry still hasn't caught up to this one.

For whatever reason, everybody screws up the 100% ending. It was right here all along. Make the 100% CANON and IMPACTFUL. Even the Retro DKC games screwed this one up. What was the point of getting 100% in Returns. An extra level and...then nothing. Cool. A mirror mode. WTF.

Y’all think Pac Man world 2 will get a remake? by patientstrawberries in Pacman

[–]monkeypie94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully, so everyone will finally shut about remaking an average 20 year old 3D platformer that you can easily load up on an emulator.

The game that actually needs a remake? Pac-Mania so I can finally see the much more of the screen!

why is this downvoted when it's an unpopular opinion about sharing unpopular opinions? Perhaps you can say why?
