I assume they tried to clone Crocodile but the result was just a bananadile since he just gave them a fake blood sample.

RE: American Politics: A Brand New Day
Been a lot happening since we were last here so let's go down the list.
- Everything Hillary said about the Supreme Court and Trump was correct.
- Everyone who said not to worry about the Court taking away rights was wrong,
- The only way out of it is elect more Democrats to office.
- Everything a Republican politician accuses somebody else of doing, that politician is doing and probably on a much worse level.
- Biden had one of the best two week periods of any Presidency in decades and did it while recovering from Covid,
That should catch you up.
- Everything Hillary said about the Supreme Court and Trump was correct.

RE: American Politics: A Brand New Day
"Okay, sure, one party is trying to erase certain groups entirely from the public sphere, has been blocking environmental and social progress for decades, and is openly associating itself with authoritarian groups while the other isn't. But how does any of that affect my sense of detached entitlement?"

RE: My Hero Academia II - A true Hero
Gentle works for me as a character simply because he actually legitimately feels like somebody the hero system failed because his Quirk and skill set didn't match their expectations of what a hero should be.

For what it's worth, that's pretty much what destroyed Numenor in the Silmarillion.

RE: American Politics: A Brand New Day
The FBI took his passports while searching Mar-a-Lago the other day. Multiple passports. No word yet on if they're under different names or for different countries.
Most likely one passport was an official one and one a personal one but the official one should probably still have been left with NARA.
The main thing is that at least somebody apparently considered him a flight risk or they wouldn't have bothered.

I'm confused. What were Aoyama and Hagakure doing?
Hagakure's invisibility comes from her ability to refract and reflect light so she's acting as a focusing crystal and rebounding his laser.

RE: Non-Disney animation thread
@Robby said in Non-Disney animation thread
...wait, is that BABY LOONEY TUNES on there? Okay, THAT'S the odd one out since its from like 2002, way more recent than anything else on there. And way less requested.
I remember the show being insanely cloying to the point that I rarely used it even as background noise but didn't it have segments about sharing and so on? It might qualify for required E/I material as a result.
Krypto is the most recent show I've spotted in the announcements but, then again, it always felt like an early '90s show whose masters fell behind a shelf and didn't air until twenty years later as a result so it doesn't feel out of place with these other shows.

RE: Non-Disney animation thread
I don't think I really realized how much the Incredibles had aged until I saw a side by side comparison of the closing scene and the remade version from the sequel.
The humans and Scud from Toy Story always looked bad though. Even back when it first came out, I remember being put off by the stark difference between the humans and toy characters.

RE: Non-Disney animation thread
The character design for Optimus looks like a weird attempt to render the Transformers: Animated version of him into a 3D style that just doesn't quite work for me.
Also I get the idea of why you would use those two for this sort of film, but, man, that sort of characterization feels weird for Megatron.

I'm conflicted here; the title makes me curious to see what the deal is, but, man, that thumbnail really makes me not want to find out.

RE: Disney animation thread
Wish feels like a film that was made entirely by what executives thought a focus group of Disney fans would want but they just never bothered to show it to any of those fans to see if their ideas were accurate before finishing it.

RE: Non-Disney animation thread
That was originally made as two separate half-hour specials that'd air as part of the opening ceremonies for the 1980 Olympics; the US wound up boycotting the Summer Games because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan so the summer portion never aired. So they made some linking segments and turned it into a film; not sure what all they added but I have to think the disco segment was one of them since it featured characters from both parts.
As a side animation footnote, the Soviets wound up counter-boycotting the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles, which worked out really badly for McDonalds since they had a promotion where you got a scratch-off card that revealed an Olympic event. Depending on how the US team finished in that event, you could win a Big Mac, fries, or a drink. The US teams wound up winning over twice as many medals as normal and almost as many gold medals alone as they had received total medals combined in previous years so McDonalds had to give out a huge number of free Big Macs. That's where the Krustyburger Olympic joke came from.

RE: X-Men The Animated Series is being revived!
@Robby said in X-Men The Animated Series is being revived!:
The third episode was loosely (very loosely) based on Inferno, which took 10 issues in the original comic, (not counting all the tie ins which brought it up to about 40 issues crossing over with all the titles, including Spiderman and Daredevil.. )
Crossovers that ranged from going all in to "Well, I guess we're doing this now" to the comic just vaguely referencing it and moving on.
It's been a while but it feels like Thor was one of those titles that just sorta acknowledged it was going on off-screen but didn't really care that much. Which, if you'd think anybody would have been concerned with a demonic invasion of Earth, it'd be Thor. Well, him or Stephen Strange but I don't think there was even a Doctor Strange title at the time.
On the other end of the spectrum was, of all possible titles to do that with, Power Pack, which not only went all in on the Inferno crossover but even used it to deal with the only real recurring human antagonist the series had.
