Company image is the most important thing for a company.

That's rich and hypocritical considering Disney's actions...They're the same company that also sued parents for putting a Spider-Man figure on their child's grave.

Some image...

Gunn was also a very different person back then (Those jokes were from the late 2000s) and plenty of people made distasteful jokes, I did so myself that I wouldn't even joke about today.

Either way, doesn't matter. This lead to a better outcome, we wouldn't have The Suicide Squad today! :D

Reports of my death were greatly exaggerated.

Man, Finizen is such an amazing design. It's basic but it works. And it's so cute.

It's too bad Palafin is so...uh...

Well it's definitely a design alright. But it's definitely not for me. Definitely one of my biggest disappointment when playing Scarlet/Violet was finding out Finizen evolved into this.

Hopefully they give it an alternative evolution in a future gen. Ah but they rarely do that.

MyGlohmed Bowser fight in Brothership was quite the experience because I failed to jump over one of his attacks and he ran into Mario and mario just ****ed off the entire fight

It was a spiderman etching. Disney did not want it associated with death, dead children, graves, graveyard….etc. Its part of Disney policy and It makes total sense. Here is the link: https://nypost.com/2019/07/06/disney-denies-dads-request-to-put-spider-man-on-4-year-old-sons-grave/

As for Gunn, yes, I’m sure he changed. However some of those joke tweets were straight up vile (I’m pretty sure he said he gets aroused when little boys pee on him). It got blown up on the Internet, and while they were like 10 year old joke tweets, Disney had to act or else image would be hurt. It’s all business moves.

Creature Commandos has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Once again James Gunn has cooked good. The Suicide Squad, Guardians 3 and now this!

Oh what a mistake Disney made in firing him. Ironically the best thing that actually could have happened especially now that James Gunn in the new Fiege of the DCU, he'll bring DC live-action movies back to their full glory and great again! On top of more DC animated films and shows.

Not a fan of anything he’s doing with his upcoming Superman movie and he’s not starting with a coherent lineup of characters to build the universe. IMO, it’s not going to turn out well.

in the post GotG 1 age, any team and any lineup can work if the film is of quality. I don’t like GotG 1&2 but 3 and Suicode Squad 2 were great. Gunn makes quality content. I trust him.

Still doesn't erase the fact Disney are define hypocrites.

Did I forget to mention they forced a daycare to remove images of their characters off of their walls? Or the fact they kept Sarah Silverman as the voice of Vanellope Von Schweetz despite having made similar tweets to Gunn? Ones that were more recent? They probably kept her because she's a woman and would have been called sexist. And no being a voice actress and director, two different work positions should not be an excuse.

Yep gotta protect that "image". Disney is truly the most wonderful magical place. /s

Disney is not innocent especially in this day of age.

You can’t battle hypocrisy with misogyny

Let’s keep it a buck Mike you really coulda posted that post without that sentence and still make the same impact

 

[Wario Bros.]

I just need to think what I should get for my parents and then I'll be finished with Christmas shopping.

I'm just stating facts. Why does a woman get a free pass but the man doesn't? It feels hypocritical. Sorry but I'm gonna be honest and blunt about this that too many people are afraid to say.

CutieGwen is probably gonna subtweet as usual since she's too afraid to quote. Continue being that snark she is to appease her ego.

Suspecting her sex as the primary reason for the decision is pretty misogynistic by definition. It’s one thing to ask questions and want answers, brother you pointed the blame finger on her ***** immediately.

I don’t mean to start beef but I think you need a little education on certain things. Sometimes your rants turn into something like this:

So why did Disney keep her then? And no being a voice actress, a lesser job role than a director should not be an excuse.

We just don't know, it could be for a myriad of reasons. Reasons we'll probably never be privy to.

Assuming it's just because of her gender is not the way to go.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Still waiting on CutieGwen with her typical subtweeting...I know you're gonna do it rather then face me by quoting me since you're too afraid.

But then again that's what I honestly expect from you anyways. An egoistical snark that likes to boost her pride and self-satification.

 

[SneakyLink]

Alright everyone, let’s move on from this current topic.

She straight up has you on ignore, she doesn't care about you bro.

In other news, Catwoman has returned to Fortnite after over a year.

 

[Lamperouge]

So yeah...XENOBLADE, am I right guys???

 

[Will]

In other news, Catwoman has returned to Fortnite after over a year.

I honestly thought we’d never see DC skins again after the Disney shareholding. Did they have to put DC skins on hold or something for a whole year?

 

[HyperSomari64]

what's the middle point of the entire platforming genre?
the video game series that are between Scrimblo and Action-Platformers (Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden, Tomb Raider)

No idea, Catwoman and Flash recently got Lego styles so I assume it had something to do with Lego.

No one here is saying Mouse House is innocent. It’s all about image management and gauging what will hurt you the least and for how long. Apple, MS, Nintendo and any other mega corp does the exact same thing. Moral or not, It’s how businesses run all across earth.

Enough of drama

I LOVE GABBY DISVENTURE CAMP

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Oh **** splatoon 2 is on Nintendo music now

Live footage of Me playing Entropical, #11 above, Spicy Calamari Inkantation, Fly Octo Fly and Tidal Rush on a 60 minute loop

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Anyone looking forward to Creature Commandos this week?

I'm also excited for Werewolves. The fact they'll be using practical effects rather than CGI has me intrigued along with the concept of the premise.

 

[cashregister9]

No idea, Catwoman and Flash recently got Lego styles so I assume it had something to do with Lego.

I'm like 90% sure it was WB, I remember reading something, that I cannot source so I could be remembering it wrong, but Warner was stepping away from outside collabs because of Multiversus and Mortal Kombat. but once those lost money they went back.

I don't think it was lego because there is already minifigures for most if not all DC characters and they added back Rick & Morty, which was also withheld for a while and those don't have lego styles.

 

[Lamperouge]

Which one? Some are better than others.

It was more of a general thing.

But yeah, Xenoblade 1 is still extremely good even if the other games are better.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Splatoon 2 is the next title to be added to Nintendo Music

Tetris will be added to NES NSO December 12

Well

Hi guys, I see you haven't been up to anything weird while I was gone.

Nah man Palafin is peak. And I’m not just saying that as a superhero nut.

…k maybe a little

 

[Noipoi]

Well

Hi guys, I see you haven't been up to anything weird while I was gone.

This thread has three modes:

-Actively discussing video game news
-Weirdness
-No one's around

If there are people in the thread, but nothing that pertains to our interests was announced, then the only option left is weirdness.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

On the subject of Palafin...

Imagine this: if we get a Brazil region, we get a regional variant of Palafin based on the Amazon river dolphin. And it's a water/dark type supervillain-based Pokemon that references some of the nastier things dolphins do in real life.

We don’t need a Pokémon who is a confirmed sex pest. Unless there already is one I don’t know about.

...Snake Palafin is a dolphin already.

Dolphins are also known for bullying fish. Not hunting them for food, but just mutilating them and toying with them.

It doesn't have to be the lewd stuff, just make it a cruel dolphin.
