I randomly stumbled on the wiki when it came up as a Google Search result and I didn't think it was real, but the further I went down the rabbit hole the more I was completely shocked by its existence. There's like over 1000 "movies":

https://poohadventures.fandom.com/wiki/Pooh%27s_Adventures_Series





I tried searching for the ones on Youtube, and while it seems like they get taken down a lot, there are still tons of them up (probably just from the sheer number of them) and even from just watching a few seconds of them I found out they were even weirder than I had originally imagined...

Like half of that video is company logos. And then you have a version of the Winnie the Pooh theme song only the Transformers are in it and it's like... god, I can't believe this exists and there's like hundreds and hundreds of them.

So Black Panther is absolutely going to be an original Avenger in that world. No way Loki doesnt find Wakanda.

I also think we were far enough into Iron man 2 for War Machine to join.

I like to imagine Spider-Man being an Avenger in his crappy homemade costume since Stark isn't alive to make him the upgraded one.

I heard a lot of reviews saying the third episode was the worst out of the preview batch, but I really enjoyed it! The reveal of Hank being the murderer was really cool, and I liked the ending. The What If stories being free to not be wrapped up in a nice little bow is refreshing, but that hopeful idea of Captain America and Captain Marvel teaming up to save the world from Loki is inherently exciting. I wonder if some of these stories will get sequels in Season 2? I don't think it's necessary; it's okay for these threads to be left hanging, but it would be interesting.

I found it kind of weird they gave each Avenger their own specially designed coffin with logos on them... even the guy they barely knew.

I feel like people haven't watched Doctor Strange recently if they think it's not in character for him to be wildly irresponsible

That said, it is a little weird for him to agree to something like this, but it's possible there's either a good reason, or that Strange actually isn't casting the spell at all and is just trying to teach Peter a lesson. He could be faking it to get him to admit that it's not actually what he wants and the inciting event is something else entirely, who knows?

I dunno. My main impression was that Doctor Strange felt like a character who started irresponsible, but learned responsibility and humility during his first movie. I was thinking of more his appearance in Infinity War (and to an extent, also Thor Ragnarok) where he took his responsibilities much more seriously, to the point that he was kind of a buzzkill. I viewed it as his character development. I guess it might not considered out of character for him to still be irresponsible but it feels like a slide back which why it feels so weird to me.

I think it's weird to call DQXI slow when it has options to speed up the game to ludicrous levels. Actually, all the DQ games have had really fast battle and traveling options compared to a lot of JRPGs. (They're usually not bogged down by excessive battle animations, and have had fast travel for AGES before other games did it).

Of course, the biggest complaint people have about the series are the weak plots, but I also think that misses the point of the stories in these games as well. Dragon Quest is not really about the huge overarching plotline and the inter-personal party drama like other JRPGs are. Often the story isn't anything more than "There's a big evil demon trying to take over the world. Find it and kill it." Instead the core of the games' writing is in the smaller, more inconsequential adventures you have along the way. Kind of more like an episodic TV show rather than, say, a movie with a distinct beginning/middle/end. The various towns you visit and the escapades you get into are more interesting than the overall plot, and there are minor NPCs that have more character and more interesting stories than main party members other RPGs have. If you focus on simply the goal the story presents you and view anything that doesn't directly feed into that as pointless diversions then yeah, I can see why you would think of the games as not being "tight" and being full of filler, but that really misses the point. It's about the journey, not the destination, and the various quests unrelated to the main plot and the various side characters and stories you come across IS the meat of the game. These games are all about those little experiences you have across the adventure, and even in the smallest details the games are very rewarding in that manner. Like, even the most insignificant NPCs in the towns have some great and interesting dialogue that is worth exploring and reading. That something that a LOT of RPGs fail to make worth your time, but it's something Dragon Quest does excellently. I do feel that there are plenty of people who hate talking to NPCs and don't bother to explore towns and simply try to get to the next plot point, and it's those type of people who would absolutely hate these games because your reward for continuing to play isn't to make it to the next story beat, it's to visit a new area and to explore and discover the interesting little details sprinkled throughout (heck, it doesn't even have to be a NEW area. You'd be shocked to discover just how often NPC dialogue updates in older areas throughout these games. Even in places you really don't need to revisit the dialogue will change and add new layers to NPCs that many players wouldn't even think twice about. It's so refreshing compared to games that don't even bother to give an NPC a second line even when the world is about end). I can understand why people wouldn't like these games even if they like other JRPGs, because they do build these games differently and they're rewarding to play in a different way from other games. But calling them "soulless" or lacking in character is really off the mark. These games are FILLED to the brim with detail and character that's really easy to miss if you're the type to not take your time to pay attention to them.

theyre definitely just holding off on showing other spider-men. Doc Oclock is probably talking to Tobey at the end of the trailer.

What if that's not actually Doctor Octopus and just some random guy who looks exactly like him named Steve Trousersnake?

(Speculative spoilers)
So either the rumors are wrong about Tobey and Andrew returning as their Spider-Man roles or they're holding that reveal off for a future trailer (I guess this is only supposed to be a teaser). Which is a bit silly if it is true because everyone is talking about it

Also, anyone else get the feeling that Dr. Strange is going to be a bad guy in this movie? Like maybe he's been replaced by a Variant or a Skrull or it's Mordo in disguise or something? Because his actions in this trailer seem really bad and in poor judgment. There's also scenes where it looks like he's attacking Peter, and not in a "it's for your own good" sort of way.

Hit & Run is legitimately a great game. The gameplay holds up pretty well for a licensed video game, but the humor and references to the series are so good it pushed it into top tier gaming.

I haven't played a Rush Duel yet, but I've seen the cards and read up on the rules and it seems interesting honestly. Feels like it simplifies a lot of stuff the game has built up over the years. I can understand that compared to the previous rules it looks like they cut out a lot of content, but I personally see it as a way to bring things back to basics from a game that got overly complicated and to reset and get a fresh start.

Of course, it's up to personal taste in that regard. I'm sure a lot of people enjoyed the complexity of the game as it was. But sometimes less in more, you know? More cards doesn't necessarily make a game better (especially when so many cards were completely useless. Opening packs in Legacy of the Duelist was hilarious when you see so many cards that no one would ever use in any situation for any deck).

Well in the Japanese dub of Loki the term for "Variants" is translated as "Hentai" so it wouldn't be the worst naming choice...

Did they not do a good job with the marketing for the movie? Some people here aren't aware of its existence

I'd seen a lot of advertising for it, but I think being delayed so many times for so long hurt it. It always seemed like they didn't have a chance to make a big marketing campaign before the release would be pushed back yet again, and now that it finally came out I guess they weren't confident in the market or they had already exhausted the advertising budget because they stuff they put out this time felt more low-key.

They tried to make Mega Man Metroidvania* games but they were awful and proved the point that platformers that have their maps all connected together are not inherently better than simple stage selects.

the graphics doesn't look that bad and there were no frame drops this time (or at least, I didn't notice)

There's one thing I noticed in the trailer, during the scene where the camera zooms out to show the large open world you can see the footage get sped up in the middle. It honestly feels like that was a portion between the close up camera and the far off camera (where things are allowed to be less detailed) where the framerate tanked and they used the sped up footage to hide it.

It reminds of the quote from Futurama's video game episode where Fry says "I had another guy!" to refer to an extra life. Even way, way back in the ancient days of the early 2000s I thought that was weird line.

Is that more in the earlier games? Serena definitely isn't armored...

There seems to be a gendered thing to it. Serena and Milly don't have as heavy equipment options as Kiryl or Angelo. Although they're still capable of using somewhat strong weapons. That said the Cleric and Priest classes in DQ3 and 9 allow heavier armor use regardless of gender, and I think of the generic class as the template that specific characters align to, even if they don't follow them exactly (every game has it's differences after all).

I'm not sure I'd call any of the Dragon Quest healers armored, except for maybe Angelo. They aren't completely fragile, but they're still frailer than pretty much everyone except the mages. Unless you're counting the various heroes as healers, then it might count.

I mean, they're not tanks, but Clerics in DQ are capable of equipping metal armor and weapons like swords and spears that many other characters can't. They tend to be sturdier than healers in other JRPGs who mostly get robes and magic wands in their equipment lists.

I think all the FF healers have robes rather than armor.

Not sure which series would be a go to for a lot of armored healers. Fire Emblem I guess? Even there it's mostly robes tho.

Dragon Quest goes the "armored healer" route. I remember being surprised when I first got into the series because it turned my expectations about "fragile healers" on their head.

Maybe the delay might give them enough time to bump it up to a double digit framerate.

Nintendogs for me. I remember that thing getting 10/10, GotY-style reviews and I spent my allowance on it. I wasn't against the idea of a non-traditional casual style game, but even for a virtual pet game it felt lacking. I ran out of interesting things to do in it really quickly and was super bummed.
