I think maybe the joke character should have been a third gremlin.

TGLT posted: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!

Oh, and I watched the trailer and he's clearly the parasol smash character ripped off 100% ... That wasn't Daisy/peach... that was...

Honestly just cancel the whole thing and make a gremlins fighting game. Unironically.

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. e: https://multiversus.fandom.com/wiki/Banana_Guard Okay I wasn't imagining it.

So what you are telling us is that the third character is absolutely Mr. Meesees

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

Waffleman_ posted:Put Brak in. Give Andy Merrill another fuckin paycheck 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.

Waffleman_ posted:I didn't even know WB had Jason 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?

# ? May 20, 2024 22:20 |

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

# ? May 21, 2024 01:53 |

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.

# ? May 21, 2024 02:11 |

Also, I'm pretty sure the first time most people heard about their project was from that tweet announcing they were packing it in.
|
# ? May 21, 2024 02:14 |
|
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?

also this statement is kind of infurating, from that kotaku articlequote:Drag Her! was a bold attempt to take a very masculine space—fighting games—and unabashedly queer it. shut the gently caress up you have no idea what youre talking about

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
