| Topic | I kinda wish they had made a 4th Brendan Fraser Mummy instead of what we got |
| Skye Reynolds 09/05/17 11:36:57 PM #23 | Ruvan22 posted... Even though it was more than a decade ago, I would totally go for a Van Helsing 2 - they even build upon an "evil" Dracula and made him a true antagonist. I'm not a fan of that movie, but I definitely think that Universal could have made a sequel which connected it to the Mummy series. Any monster that died in Van Helsing was either |
| Topic | I kinda wish they had made a 4th Brendan Fraser Mummy instead of what we got |
| Skye Reynolds 09/05/17 10:56:00 PM #19 | Darmik posted... That makes sense. Dracula would have worked as a launching pad too. There hasn't really been a traditional creepy Dracula for a long time. Just superhero shit. Oh, man. I know. I am so tired of sexy Dracula. I'm fine with them having a tragic vampire, but I personally would hold off on introducing Dracula himself and I'd make him a thoroughly evil and unsympathetic character. I'm not against Dracula looking good, but I want the sense of menace back. I don't want the sad eyed puppy dog who happens to kill people after dark. Again, we can have that character. He just shouldn't be Dracula. |

| Skye Reynolds 09/05/17 10:51:39 PM #18 | I mean, I don't care for the direction that Universal seems to want to take. Dracula is sexy and tragic. Van Helsing is sexy and immortal. (Essentially a good Dracula.) Monsters jump out at you, but then act silly or tongue in cheek in the same scene. If Universal wants monsters to be what they were in the Brendan Frasier trilogy or the Van Helsing movie with Hugh Jackman, than they're better off to simply make sequels to those films and join them together. It's not like every film in the Marvel universe has been a hit. I'm just thinking in terms of practicality. If that's the direction they want to take, they're better off to build upon what they've previously created rather than start from scratch and rebuild the same house they built 13 to 19 years ago. |
| Topic | I kinda wish they had made a 4th Brendan Fraser Mummy instead of what we got |
| Skye Reynolds 09/05/17 10:45:00 PM #16 | Darmik posted... Nah. The new Mummy should have been a horror movie that was good. I have the impression it's neither of those things. I agree with the tone, but not the choice of monster. If you're starting a joint universe from scratch, the Mummy isn't the one to begin with. Actually, now that I think about it, it only begged the comparison to the Brendan Frasier films because that's what's most recent in audience's minds. Had they done Frankenstein first and the Wolf Man second, nobody would have expected The Mummy to be anything like the Frasier movies. |
| Topic | I kinda wish they had made a 4th Brendan Fraser Mummy instead of what we got |
| Skye Reynolds 09/05/17 10:37:03 PM #14 | To be fair, it probably would have been in Universal's best interest to have made this the fourth film in the Mummy series. Instead of creating a joint universe from scratch, they would've been able to have rightfully claimed that theirs dated back to 1999. |
| Topic | I kinda wish they had made a 4th Brendan Fraser Mummy instead of what we got |
| Skye Reynolds 09/05/17 10:24:01 PM #12 | I find it hilarious that Brendan Frasier is the standard of comparison when his adaptation was a staunch departure from the original. Mummy '32 = Dracula in the Desert Mummy '99 = Indiana Jones as Played by Brendan Frasier If I'm being honest with myself, the first Brendan Frasier Mummy was decent. But that still doesn't change what a staunch departure it was from the source material. If the new movie is an insult, it's not an insult to Brendan Frasier's interpretation because that was an offbeat self-aware interpretation rather than a straight update. It might be the interpretation that's best known with 90s kids and Millennials, but that doesn't change that it's a completely different story tied together by a couple of character names. |
| Topic | Remember how butthurt the Two and a Half Men creators were about Charlie Sheen? |

| Topic | Batman TAS premiered 25 years ago today |
| Skye Reynolds 09/05/17 8:25:07 PM #9 | On Leathery Wings, the pilot episode, inspired me to draw a picture of the climax with the moon in the background and Batman hanging onto the Man-Bat with the grappling hook's cable wrapped around his foot. There's a reason why I'm bitter about Batman being bitter. I can never see the character through adult eyes. It's always from the perspective of that young boy who was inspired to draw the hero he watched in that first episode. I still stand by that. The Red Skies Batman. The Dark Knight. The bitter Bruce Wayne of the future. That will never be my Batman. My Batman will always be the hero from those first few seasons. |
| Topic | What is about AVGN that makes it work so much better than Nostalgia critic? |
| Skye Reynolds 09/05/17 7:56:55 PM #39 | Mostly, I think it's because the Nerd does a better job of providing a standard of comparison. The Nostalgia Critic comes across as nitpicky and snobbish in ways that I don't think are intentional. When the Nerd criticizes something, he'll often provide a point of reference by mentioning a game with better mechanics and similar content. He doesn't come across as unpleasible like the Nostalgia Critic is sometimes prone to do. If and when the Nostalgia Critic does provide a point of reference, it's usually a sarcastic comparison to a film by Stanley Kubrick or something from Hollywood's golden era. That makes him come across as extremely snobbish. It's all in the presentation. The Nostalgia Critic often comes across like a Gene Siskel type who will run down anything he dislikes from a point of superiority. The Angry Video Game Nerd feels like a friend who is going into a humorous episode over an ultimately minor disappointment. |

| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 11:23:23 PM #7 | Also, Nintendo should release a gold cartridge of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. It seems odd that NES and N64 had gold cartridge releases, but not Super Nintendo. Especially since it's arguably the best Zelda of them all. |
| Topic | Capcom: "Our games will make your console catch on fire" |
| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 11:22:19 PM #4 | Neat. I need to replace my old copy of Street Fighter 2 anyway. So, I'm guessing this new cartridge is joining Doom and Maximum Carnage as a trilogy of red cartridge games for the system? |

| Topic | BBC Introduces 'Digital Blackface' - h3h3productions |
| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 6:44:08 PM #11 | These same people would be feigning outrage if white gamers never created minority characters or included people of color in their online images. This isn't about social progress. This just just clickbait. If somebody is posting a racially insensitive picture as a response, then that would most certainly constitute "digital blackface." But if they're getting mad because somebody posts a reaction gif featuring a black celebrity or because a white guy created an Asian avatar in his favorite MMO, there's no call to be mad about that. It's just people pushing dirt to get traffic on their site and generate a little revenue with the advertisers. |

| Topic | BREAKING NEWS: MARIO is NO longer a PLUMBER! |
| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 3:08:03 PM #6 | I was just thinking yesterday about how American adaptations of Mario always stress the fact that he's a plumber whereas Japanese adaptations simply use it as a means of saying that he's blue collar.  I guess it shouldn't surprise me. Aside from using pipes to travel, the only reference to Mario being a plumber in any game I can recall is a mini-game portion of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga where you have to fix some leaky pipes. Considering that he's been in over 200 games, that's not exactly doing a stellar job of incorporating his profession into the gameplay. |

| Topic | Do you think Michael Jackson molested children? |
| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 12:42:42 PM #7 | Maybe. I don't know at this point. The whole situation disgusts me. For roughly 15 years, it was taken for granted that he was guilty. Then he died and what had previously been an understood truth suddenly became a malicious allegation meant to destroy a good man's career. Either we condemned an innocent man while he was alive or we posthumously made a hero of a monster. Either way, it stinks. |
| Topic | It's the Mushroom Kingdom but... |
| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 12:39:02 PM #8 | If you stop and think about it, there are some potentially negative implications. - humans rule the Mushroom Kingdom - "good" mushrooms are servants of humans - "bad" mushrooms rebel against human rule - human rule is maintained by a human enforcer who thwarts all rebellions <_< |

Well if we assume babies are delivered by stork in the Mario world, I guess she just kind of poofed into existence and was dropped off to some Toad King/Toadsworth or somebody else. But that's only ever addressed in Yoshi's Island, so who knows. Stork: "The future ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom has arrived. Now let me just get your signature stating you've received your delivery and I'll be on my way to the next kingdom." King: "But where's her cap?" Queen: "And what's this yellow fur on her head?" Stork: "I don't make 'em, lady. I just deliver 'em. Sign here please." |

| Topic | So is Peach human or just a mushroom person who looks human? |
| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 12:04:50 PM #4 | Spooking posted... I thought she was the maid. She is, but the English version has Peach call her "Grandma." I guess that does explain one minor plot hole in the English version. When Peach is captured, all the chambermaid thinks about is how worried the chancellor must be. And if you go and visit her before visiting the chancellor after rescuing Peach, she just tells you that you need to go and speak to him first. Not exactly the response of a grandmother who has been reunited with her captive granddaughter. |
| Topic | So is Peach human or just a mushroom person who looks human? |
| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 12:02:31 PM #1 | I played Super Mario RPG recently and Peach's Grandma is in the game.  It got me thinking. Is Peach a human being or is she a mushroom person who happened to have been born looking human? The latter is more or less what I expected as a kid, so Peach's grandmother didn't surprise me. It's also the route the movie took with Daisy as she's a reptile despite her human appearance. (Because they're dinosaurs instead of mushrooms in that film.) But then it dawned on me that that game isn't necessarily canon to Mario lore. What's more, "Grandma" isn't even a direct translation. She's given a title in the Japanese woman which is a term of endearment for older women. So that means she was probably never intended as a relative in the first place. So that just begs the question. Do the mushroom people have a human ruler or is she a mushroom person who incidentally looks human? |
| Topic | Mars Attacks! Is a great movie |
| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 11:37:03 AM #13 | I had a chance to see it earlier this year, a theater was showing it as part of a tribute to Tim Burton, but I passed on it. I did see Batman and Beetlejuice though. Those were both a lot of fun. |
| Topic | Mars Attacks! Is a great movie |
| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 11:12:44 AM #11 | UncleBourbon33 posted... How are they anything alike other than being about aliens. They're both tongue in cheek. And they technically both involve invasions. Whereas Mars Attacks is a full scale war, Men in Black has Edgar attempting to trigger the destruction of Earth by stealing a McGuffin. It's just that one is a good alien movie and the other is a hit and miss alien movie which falls just short of being worthy of recommendation. |
| Topic | Mars Attacks! Is a great movie |
| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 11:07:31 AM #6 | Fun premises, poor execution. There are fun moments, some likable characters, but the overall film doesn't work for me. I have to agree with Roger Ebert when he said that Men in Black was the movie which Mars Attacks promised and failed to be. |
| Topic | What's your opinion of Don Bluth Movies? |
| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 11:05:09 AM #26 | I really have no idea what happened. The Secret of NIMH and The Land Before Time are fantastic. All Dogs Go to Heaven was pretty good too from what I remember. Then the 90s hit and I have no idea what happened. Rock-a-Doodle and The Pebble and the Penguin are fairly enjoyable if you're in a forgiving mood, but they're nowhere near as good as his films from the 80s. Nostalgia isn't really a factor either as The Secret of NIMH is a movie I only saw about four ago. |

| Skye Reynolds 09/04/17 9:36:06 AM #25 | SorenTheSage posted... The only good thing that Disney has done with Star Wars is Star Tours. They cushioned the blow when it came to Anakin Skywalker. Darth Vader will never again be as cool as he was before the prequels came out, but having another whiny Sith Lord makes Vader's Anakin days less of an embarrassment. It was the best thing they could have done for him. |
