If this were a couple of years ago I'd say Warner should strike a deal with Embracer that ends up getting not only Gandalf and Legolas but a guest character to advertise Embracer's portfolio. That character of course being Johnny Gat from the old Saints Row games.

But unfortunately Johnny is...not in the reboot it looks like so it just wouldn't make sense for today.

I saw somewhere that a tower in Trophy’s Edge that looked like Sauron’s Tower was changed with the Season 1 patch to look different, which may be a hint that LotR ain’t panning out.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen Gremlins, Stripe is like an evil version of the main Gremlin right, it’s not a Zelda/sheik situation?

I think it's still not clear. It wouldn't make a ton of sense since Stripe is a separate character from Gizmo.

Stripe is Gizmo’s son, and he was the de facto leader of the gremlins in the first movie. Gizmo killed him in the climax.

There’s reason to believe Stripe and Gizmo are one character, as Stripe’s file number is XXXA and Gizmo is XXXB. Dunno if it’ll be a Tom & Jerry thing or what.

Gremlins is an insanely good and funny movie btw, strongly recommended if you haven't seen it, zero irony needed. The second one takes it in a Looney Tunes direction and is hilarious as a parody of unnecessary sequels, but the first is seriously a classic.

In one of the earlier scripts Stripe was Gizmo, but they decided people would like Gizmo too much.

That said i doubt they would build the character to reference a version of the movie that wasn't made

When Mogwai (the cute guys like Gizmo) get wet they multiply in the form of these fur balls that come off of their body and sort of hatch into an egg. If you feed a Mogwai after midnight, it permanently transforms into a Gremlin -- Spike was spawned from Gizmo then transformed. So if there was a transformation mechanic it would really just make sense if it were one-way.

Also watch Gremlins dude. Holds up great, it's awesome

Maybe you start off as Gizmo on the first stock and turn into Stripe on the second

Stripe starts as a mogwli and as soon as he gets a kill (an opponent feeds him) he turns into a gremlin.

I will! It’s been at least like, 20 years lol. It’s cool that it had such a following still.

the virgin Smash Bros unable to give Solid Snake a gun vs. the chad Multiversus that flat out gives a Gremlin a snub-nosed revolver to shoot Batman.

I've heard things that Gizmo is somehow a dual character with Stripe but idk how that would work given he does not turn into a Gremlin. Maybe you start as Gizmo, he has a "water wet" status, and then he spawns Stripe to play as for the rest of a round

How are variants treated in the game code? Like, is Cake considered a different "character" than Jake, despite them just being skins with unique voice lines?

I was thinking we'd see Gizmo being a variant of Stripe, but if they're giving Stripe a gun as a special move then I don't think that's how they'll play it, since Gizmo never used one. (And I don't think variants go so far as to change moves, like we wouldn't see the Gizmo "skin" replace the gun with a bow-and-arrow made out of office supplies.)

That one was in Gremlins 2; pretty much all of the weird variation Gremlins are from the sequel.

Speaking of, I hope Mohawk ends up being a variant costume at some point. I always liked his design.

I've never seen a Gremlins, and I can't tell if this is making fun of Gremlins 2 or is on board with it, but nothing has made me more interested than this skit

Gremlins 2 leans waaaay more onto the comedy side of things, to the point where some would says it isn’t even a horror movie like the first.

So if a Gremlin singing Sinatra sounds like a good time, then give it a watch.

The actual reason Gremlins 2 is so batshit insane is funnier than the Key & Peele skit - Joe Dante refused to come back for a sequel unless he was given total creative control. WB was so desperate for a Gremlins sequel (none of the spec scripts they were getting were remotely good) that they gave in. So Dante decided to do the thing he could never get a greenlight to do - make a Looney Tunes movie and call it Gremlins 2.

That's how we get Christopher Lee playing Mad Scientist Dracula and a gremlin drinking a potion that makes him so smart he starts hosting a talk show

Ironic, given that he would go on to direct Looney Tunes Back in Action like a decade later.

Leave me to do my dark bidding on the internet!
This F2P rotation has been fantastic. The only character I didn't really gel with was LeBron James. Batman felt like he had great normals and solid all-round toolkit. Arya is an aerial juggle machine who is just so much fun zipping around the level following her dagger or her teammate, and Steven's toolkit is so fun to use I genuinely forget about his teammate bubble on his neutral dodge because I'm grinding on heads with his shield or slamming them up and out of the level. So much of this cast feels so good to play it's remarkable.

LeBron is fun if you can use the ball a lot but he seems really weak against certain blocking characters.

In y.very limited experience

He feels a lot better in 2v2 imo. I feel like he has the same problem a lot of characters have where if you don’t fish for a spike, it’s hard to get a kill at ~100%.

Lebron's really fun to play but it feels like he gets beat out by hitboxes/priority stuff a lot. Really hoping the update sorts some of that out

I will say that regardless of his power level, everything else about him is top notch. The court sounds on all his moves, his hurt animation, the idea of being able to shoot a three pointer to ring someone out- so sick.
