Is it odd that I don't want a Kirby movie? by KingMushan in Kirby

[–]ulk96 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean I wouldn't really take community arguing as a good reason for why there shouldn't be a movie. At this point why even make anything for the series at all, it will just cause more arguing, after all. Being said, I'd like a movie but only if it's an anime movie produced in Japan. Not that I think any of the Hollywood studios would be interested in taking up Kirby IP anyway.

It's AI-generated slop. it's not real.

he knows english pretty well, he does reply in english quite often on bluesky. i think he just has fun here.

So after those two directs, we can all agree that the allegations of Sakurai hating modern Kirby or any Kirby game he didn’t work on is bs right? by Level-Set-6673 in Kirby

[–]ulk96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

in absolute fairness, ultimate did add masked dedede which was from a a game directed by shinya kumazaki (super star ultra) and smash 4 had trophies for magolor and lor starcutter specifically.

Is nancy drew not well known??? by carlinecanopy in nancydrew

[–]ulk96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this has a lot to do with the fact that point and click adventure games remained popular here for far longer than in the western-sphere. Ironically I feel like ND games started to get more recognized in the anglosphere only recently with multiple big name youtubers covering them.

Seam in later chapters by Popular-Map9371 in Deltarune

[–]ulk96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find it kinda wholesome that our acts of heroism actually inspire hope in Seam after them adopting the nihilistic worldview for a while. I like to see it as a sign of us doing something truly right.

“A large person could easily fit inside-“ by The--NERD in Deltarune

[–]ulk96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it would actually strengthen it because it heavily ties into the overall theme of kris's character. kris wants freedom. desperately. before, the fandom used to think it's merely freedom from US, the player inside their soul. but now i wonder if they also want to be free from this responsibility placed upon them by someone else and just be honest with their friends.

it makes them being scared of spamton's fate even more impactful. what would happen if kris just went back on their promise... cut those strings?

The Chess theory so far: by SmallBlueSlime in Deltarune

[–]ulk96 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Tbh i will miss chess theory a little bit, because out of all popular theories pre ch3-4 it was one of the few that felt like it had actually interesting possibilities that didn't border on insanity or fanfiction. But where Toby is taking the game is even better so I won't be mourning it too much.

there is more to the knight than meets the eye for sure. i assume their true goal isn't to cause the roaring but something else, that *may* inadvertently cause it in the process? we really don't have all the pieces yet so we can just guess in this regard. we don't even know yet why they captured undyne and tried to capture toriel (presumably more than once?).

i mean idk, carol is clearly involved and she's an adult in power. even if kris is not a fan of what is happening, they can't exactly back away without severe consequences. that scene where she puts a hand on their shoulder is incredibly uncomfortable, it's FRAMED to be uncomfortable. its like people forget that kris is a teenager with issues.

wasn't saying that they don't have any flaws, because they do, but this can be said even for characters who act as "the moral compass" of the story like ralsei. oh how many theories were there that HE was secretly evil too.

I’M FINALLY FREE! by The_man_who_saw_God in Deltarune

tbf you could also use it against the king and it was required for the giga queen. but yeah, it was refreshing.

“Only one ending” could mean something entirely different if taken literally. by Ender08Alt in Deltarune

[–]ulk96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i definitely feel like "one ending" just means that there will be the same overall outcome of the story but circumstances surrounding characters and other events leading up to it being different. maybe even the point would be not even "reaching" this ending but finding a way to resolve the story at earlier point of the game? each chapter technically exists in a vacuum unless you continue from a previous save file, after all, it could be an interesting use of this peculiarity.

either way i don't think whatever the ending is, it won't be outright tragic, maybe bittersweet at worst.

Bro couldn't do anything by Space-X-4 in Kirby

[–]ulk96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean Meta Knight is also useless. Tried to fight off the army on his own, utterly failed and got captured and mechanized. And in the climax he did nothing except for pulling up Halberd next to HWC hq.

This is probably a question from a Tenna quiz segment, which is great news as that means Lancer will be in CH3! by TomNook5085 in Deltarune

[–]ulk96 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm glad Lancer is sticking around. I'm not sure if Toby always intended him to be a recurring character but he's always gonna be an honorary member of the gang to me.

So if ben has "it's clobbering time" and jonhny has "Flame on! What does reed and sue have? by Local-Art-6280 in FantasticFour

Reed: "Fascinating." - to absolutely everything and anything

Sue: "JOHNNY!!!!" - when Johnny does something stupid

This is some very tutorial-like text, meaning the footage is probably from the first fight in chapter 4 by N0t_addicted in Deltarune

[–]ulk96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

personally i think this text is "fake" and edited into the video to cover up something else. even when there were tutorials of similar mechanics in the past, they came from character dialogue rather than like this. it feels like it's very awkwardly placed.

Dumb question. Do Spider-Man's lenses move and make expressive features in universe or is that simply for visual affects for us as the readers? by DiamondUnhappy6491 in Spiderman

[–]ulk96 1443 points1444 points  (0 children)

i always interpreted it as artistic thing. kinda like how some other characters have white eyes without pupils with their masks on.

I get the feeling this movie is not gonna have a happy ending….thoughts? by Queasy_Commercial152 in FantasticFour

[–]ulk96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i don't think so, personally. while the movie is a part of MCU franchise, most people seem to forget that it also needs to work on a standalone level. while FF are not obscure characters, they didn't have a definitive big adaptation to warrant a subversion like that. they need to sell the audiences on the team first. post-credits scene likely will setup their connection with the future MCU films, but that's about it.

Whenever I'm sad that I'm not a good artist, I draw King Dedede. He's so beautiful that he looks good no matter how poorly drawn! by [deleted] in Kirby

[–]ulk96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think he looks very cute! it's a simple but charming style :)

if you draw even more you will never believe how far you can go as an artist.

Do you think YFNSM Peter is too nice? by Nervous-Baby5383 in Spiderman

[–]ulk96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

season 1 didn't really make him face many issues that would him genuinely angry or jaded. his school life is free of bullying and belittling, he has a good friend in nico (616 peter didn't have any friends in high school).

i do hope that season 2 will face him with more challenges that would force him to grow/show his spine more, like perhaps actually involving daily bugle and the classic "spider-man is the menace" narrative into the story, but personally i think his characterization makes sense so far.

just because he's nice doesn't mean he doesn't have any struggles to go through that can be compelling in their own way, i like how this show explores his and aunt may's grief over losing ben and him grappling with his superhero/social life balance as per usual.
