    Why does everyone involved with Megaman keep hurting me?

    I don't know.

    Bar bet?

    (Man. I kinda miss the Archie Megaman comic. That was pretty decent.)

    But then the comic would replace him with Samus being six foot of awesome rougishly charming bounty hunter. Swings. Roundabouts.

    It's odd

    It's been two days now since the NMS delay rumors but nothing

    No word from Sony or Hello Games, no changed dates from retailers, including GameStop, where the source supposedly came from

    Yes, an art style I do not like, when applied to Mega Man.

    I think the new Mega Man looks cool

    And also, sorta who cares?

    They weren't doing anything else with him except letting him gather virtual dust, why get upset over his reimagining for a cartoon

    A lot of people care when a franchise they like gets content they dislike. (To be clear, I don't care enough about Mega Man to have feelings about this, beyond aesthetics opinions, but as a Metroid fan I definitely understand where fans are coming from).

    That's absolutely not true. Digimon Tri looks pretty good. A bunch of the non-Bay Transformers redesigns over the years have been fine. Ditto for the various animated Ninja Turtles. Most of Marvel's movie costumes have been great, sometimes because they deviated from the originals. Plenty of redesigns are very good. But also some are very bad.

    Shame the movie was apparently bad.

    And now WarCraft is apparently bad.

    And Assassin's Creed ain't looking too great.

    I honestly think that stuff is really reaching

    the pigs are bad guys

    this is not the first time something like this has been in kids media, not even close

    kids shows sometimes simplify good and evel and saying that means they're making a statement that racism is good is super overblown

    The movie should end with the red angry bird looking from pig to bird to pig to bird and becoming uncertain as to which was which.

    Like, pigs emigrate to birdland, all the birds welcome them with open arms except the one angry racist who is ostracized for mistrusting them, then it turns out he was right all along

    Even if it's not intentional

    It's in magnificently poor taste considering the current global climate

    Does the movie even try to show any good pigs?

    or bad birds?

    Does it not explore the idea that all peoples are made up of individuals some of which are good and some of which are bad

    Like in the game you're clearly fighting a roving band that is running away with your young across an apocalyptic landscape, your own people so desperate to regain their children and continue their species that they literally destroy themselves in the effort, so it is somewhat excusable that they don't go in depth into the rich pig culture

    but a movie being designed for children is no excuse, you don't have to be mindless when creating mindless entertainment

    Zootopia was a good movie with a good (if somewhat confused) message about racism and acceptance
