It's cool that Multiversus is sticking with the same kind of roster choices that helped kill it the last time, and I hope that they decide to go for the hat trick after it dies a second time. Maybe next time we'll get Howard Groote from Batman Beyond.

warner brothers listened, and they dug into the looney tunes vault to bring you all your favorite classic characters from the 1930s and 40s!

The banana guard was an item before the revamp, he's not entirely new. You picked up an item and he popped out of it and charged in a straight line, so I don't think he's like a joke character. I think he's a "pressed for resources, upcycle existing assets" character.

they might all be 'owned' by the same company but at a company that big theres still a ton of internal politics and red tape to go through. which is why they stick so closely to the same few things. see: two gremlins

ive barely scratched the surface. there's no way they don't own the rights to some weird poo poo, or it would cost them peanuts to license from the production company.

They should pay George Lowe a lot of money and then not ask him to work too hard. Andy Merrill too. A lot of the guys behind those shows deserve way more than they're getting.

I want Zorak and Moltar's voice actors family to get royalties and throw their characters in there. Give me Cap'n Murphy too while were at it.

A shame that Hinson turned out to be such a sunofabitch, would have been fun to see him in something like this. Dan Halen would be hilarious, the Sheriff, Assy McGee, all of Dethklok, Thundarr the Barbarian, Race Bannon, Harvey Birdman, Stephen Colbert Reducto, X the Eliminator, Mentok the Mind Taker.

Jellystone! did an episode a while back that had both George Lowe and Andy Merrill reprise their roles. They should do that a lot more.

Yeah, same. Looking it up, WBD's owned New Line since '08, so Jason being in MKX makes more sense now.

And going by the locations in the trailer, we can expect Powerpuff Girls and Animaniacs?

Dawgstar
Jul 15, 2017

Although I think even WB has to make some kind of deal to use Jason in things outside the US because Sean Cunningham and Horror Inc. own the rights to that and now you've got the thing where Victor Miller owns the copyright to the first story which he recently won back. It's a terrible mess.

So does anyone remember Drag Her!, the in-development fighting game focused on drag queens? No, neither do I:

https://twitter.com/dragherthegame/status/1790774142947532929

Kotaku has an article up about the trouble the devs had with a lack of funding and being unable to find a publisher, which is why they ceased development:

https://kotaku.com/drag-her-game-fighting-ru-pauls-drag-race-steam-1851488749

It kinda blames the failing on the game being too gay, which I think is unfortunately very valid, but for me I think the bigger issue was that the game looked too gimmicky, which is why I never thought much about it to begin with

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

i mean i think it could be that its like, Too Gay but also i dont think that many western publishers are that interested in indie 2d fighting games.

The Kins
Oct 2, 2004
Also, I'm pretty sure the first time most people heard about their project was from that tweet announcing they were packing it in.

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

also the game looks like this



like im sure the devs are cool and im sure the games fun but, idk, i dont think it has to be anti-gay collusion. im sure that played a part in it but idk, going hard on that angle just feels like feeding it into the culture war. this sort of drag culture isnt that popular rn anyway. and like, in a non-culture war way. that doesnt mean it shouldnt exist just that like, im not sure there are that many modern young gay people who identify that strongly with these sorts of images?

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

also this statement is kind of infurating, from that kotaku article

Drag Her! was a bold attempt to take a very masculine space—fighting games—and unabashedly queer it.

granblue and gg strive alone account for like 90% of the openly trans characters in major big budget game releases in the past few years but fighting games need to be 'queered' and 'are a masculine space?' gently caress off
