I find it weird how a lot of platformer fandoms - specifically Rayman and Mega Man, to name two - actively want their favourite characters to be corporate mascots in the same way Mario and Sonic are. Even putting aside the very topical and complex discussion of corporate IP ownership and who is owed what for a creative production, would you as a fan want your favourite character to be associated with some of these companies' practices and reputations? And would you as a fan want your favourite character's games to be designed with such a reputation in mind?

The counterpoint to "a bigger public domain would just mean less original ideas and more Star Wars/Marvel/e.t.c." is that said franchises even exist at all and not just a constant string of movies where Dracula fights Humpty Dumpty. Public domain characters have historically been bit part players to new characters - if all of Marvel and DC's heavy hitters became free to use, we'd have a fad, but then it'd mostly be "Scoblob n' Pals Season 2 Episode 6: Scoblob Meets Batman!"

So, all this "illuminati" thing that's been hyped up for centuries is capable of is video essay plagarism and scam children's events? Talk about underwhelming.

Penny's Big Breakaway is really good, best 3D Sonic-style movement I've ever seen; and you can see influence taken from a very plentiful and diverse set of platforming and non-platforming games (Ristar and Mario 3D World are especially apparent as influences), but whoever decided that "let's make our entire set of mooks the baby Goombas from Mario 3" should get a stern talking to.

So happy to announce that the Disney+ version of Steamboat Willie includes the critically important pig-nipples scene, long missing from Disney's YouTube version.

To celebrate, I have updated my dream Walt Disney Animation Studios intro, with sound. Feel free to use this Disney pic.twitter.com/TDIRYJrGW0

I got recommended a video from an FNF fan channel about the game's inactivity, and it's really weird? He's treating the slow progress of blog updates and reveals as if it's some kind of crime or moral slight? and he pulls up recent blog updates that show clear as day it's still being worked on, and complains because they don't actually reveal anything about the final game? The info he's complaining about being "boring" is actually kinda interesting too, a lot of neat BTS game dev system stuff.

I was extremely cautious about Penny's Big Breakaway at first, but seeing the control breakdown mention using shoulder buttons to jump clicked it for me. "This game gets me"

Seriously, classic Sonic games are so much better with Smash-style shoulder button jumping.

It's weird how whenever a new Bubsy project is announced, people act like it's somehow preventing quote-unquote "better" platformer series owned by entirely different companies from getting new instalments in some weird cosmic-karmic way? Like, no, a new Bubsy will have no impact on Banjo-Threeie or Klonoa 3 whatsoever.

I think it's funny how corporations have only just realised that 2000s nostalgia is profitable while the internet is already onto 2010s nostalgia.

I've been entertaining the idea of a "false advertising crossover fighter roster" for a while, and you know that the Unknown and his mirror will be there (or at least be marketed as being in there)

Wario Wario Wario · Mar 1, 2024

Something I find interesting about the public domain is the ability to make crossovers that aren't crossovers, if that makes sense. Count Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster were created nearly a century apart and their source material had wildly different tones, but because of the public domain they're considered long-standing sidekicks or rivals in a lot of works without any multiverse shenanigans. I'm glad to see that a lot of Mickey/Oswald projects are incorporating Felix and Pooh just as part of the world, for instance.

I know that objectively it's just an nonsensical-out-of-context reference, but I really like how one of Squidward's voice lines in NASB 2 is "Forget the book!" because it implies that Squidward has some kind of long-standing literature-based grudge with every single character on the roster.

Kirby being chosen as the WOL survivor because "he would canoncially be able to" is so, so lame. Don't get me wrong, Kirby has a lot of merit as the starter character from a gameplay perspecitve (easy character to learn, copies help players transition to using other characters), and creator bias is valid, but using Death Battle logic in storytelling sucks, even for something extensively storyless. Feels weirdly emblematic of the Namco-era Smash creative process, where everything seems to be based on numbers and objective research instead of just what'd be cool, silly, or meaningful.

The Mugen version of Dr. Mario that is just a bunch of half-transparent BMPs with clashing art style and pixel quality might be my favourite fighting game character ever from an aesthetic standpoint

Someone should write a completely sincere non-meme Lost Episode creepypasta, but instead of an animated and/or kids' show, it's literally anything else. Ellen lost episode. Grey's Anatomy lost episode. MANswers lost episode.

I still think about "Why aren't you being nuanced? don't you know that Bubsy has no redeeming qualities!" a lot.

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 27, 2024

Public-domain scavaging is very, very fun once you know what you're doing. Until Mickey/Pooh, I think it was only really superhero fans who were interested in PD, which is fine, PD superheroes are really cool even if they aren't my style, but it means there's a lot of comedic and non-fighting characters nobody has really put 2 and 2 together on, both well known characters that have evaded view, and completely obscure and/or forgotten characters.

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 27, 2024

I feel like NASB fandom has the same "thinking one area of their game's source material net is more important/popular than everything else inherently" issue as Smash fandom, but instead of Nintendo games it's 2000s Nick. In no world are Oblina and Powdered Toast Man deep cuts, at all, let alone moreso than El Tigre and Jenny.

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 26, 2024

Might be biased since I find most fan demand picks and logic for games I'm interested in mediocre-to-awful and find adhering to it too heavily and indiscriminately to be a giant burden on roster quality, but I don't like fan roster polls. Half of the time less people have participated than there are AD years, and the other half it's a complete fabrication.

So, Oogieloves is somewhere on the frutiger aero spectrum, right?

Wario Wario Wario · Feb 25, 2024

Goro the cat would be a banger side-over-protag pick. "Burglar" is such a fun character archetype, especially when it's a goofy cartoon animal, and you could have him commanding around his Mewkies as a puppet fighter.

oh my god christmas in july and the deadline for watching all 10 episodes of farzar are only a day apart. which do i celebrate this year.

World of Light is really weird from a tonal perspective. The CGI cutscenes are needlessly dark, falling into the same pitfalls as Subspace, but the actual mode itself is really lighthearted, silly, filled with tiny little references, and generally feels in line with what I'd personally want from a Smash story mode. It's a shame that WOL is - like many Nintendo creations - just summarised to "WOAH, EDGY KIDS' GAME!" based on the intro and bad endings alone, because honestly spirit battles and the WOL world map are one of the rare highlights for SSBU IMO
