Huh
I only knew it as the movie, or just a generic word to add to a thing to show that fightymans would be involved
First, this is not a new thing but a sequel, so there's already a point of comparison to judge. Not to mention both the previous game and the warriors games in general are widely considered to be rather mediocre, even if they're popular. Second, this is not like they're adding their favorite characters from a game to another game they like. If they enjoy Fire Emblem for, say, its gameplay, then what good is it that they make a Warriors game of it to them?
Not to mention this is probably hyperbole for comedic effect, because, you know, comic?
I think they could be caustically optimistic.

That being said, I can also appreciate the perspective of being disappointed when a new game is announced for a series you love, only to find out that it isn't actually a sequel, but rather a collaboration mashup with another studio. Fire Emblem Warriors 1 was great, and I imagine the new one based on Three Houses will also be great. But it's pretty easy to empathize with the disappointment of someone who sees Three Houses characters and art, and then finds out it's a 'Warriors' game.
But yeah, looking at the arms, I think it's more of a restraining pose

@Rhesus Positive There's a long-running series of cludgy action games with RPG-like stats portraying a colorfully fictionalized history of East Asia called Dynasty Warriors (when it's set in China) or Samurai Warriors (for the ones set in Japan), collectively also known as the Musō series. They're made by Koei's studio Omega Force (& a few also had Team Ninja* chipping in as well).
- Warriors Orochi is when DW and SW crossover with each other (so kind of like SNK's King of Fighters series).
- Warriors All-Stars is a Musō game featuring a bunch of different Koei Tecmo intellectual properties (sort of like Capcom's Marvel vs Capcom games, but between two merged companies).
- Dynasty Tactics & Dynasty Warriors Godseekers are spinoffs with more of a tactical RPG gameplay focus.
- Dynasty Warriors Mahjong is their fictionalized versions of historical Chinese figures playing mahjong together (I'm being serious).
All the following games are mash-ups of other IP's characters & setting in a DW game engine.*Team Ninja are the game studio behind the 3D Ninja Gaiden games, the 3D fighting game series Dead Or Alive, and its women's beach volleyball spin-off series DOA Xtreme. Also the infamous Metroid Other M. Team Ninja started as a part of Tecmo, but Tecmo merged with Koei, and the Tecmo brand was largely retired after 2010.
Edit: I should point out that Pokemon Conquest is not a Musō game; Koei are also known for historical war strategy game series (notably ones based on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and a Japanese history series called Nobunaga's Ambition) that are usually turn-based, and PC is a cross of Pokemon and one of these.
Looks like both; he's pulling an angry flailing Gabe into the hug.
One of those "Shh Shh it's ok" moves.
I dunno why devs think that as the population ages and our reflexes become slower we'll want to convert all our turn-based games into schmups.
Tycho: "Bro, no, don't punch the TV, I'm gonna stop you."
G: "But what am I gonna do then with this fury, bro?"
T: "You're going to release all that into a sweet-ass bro hug, bro."
G: "Bro…"
T: "Bro."
I don't know if they'd actually say "bro" that much but this is the the energy I get from the strip. Tycho restrain but he also pull into hug, in one smooth motion, like a kung-fu master for hugs.
Mario Paint?
I imagine this is like expecting a follow-up to a proper Mario platformer and then getting Mario Paint for Xmas
One of the NES sports games, if you're counting ones where Mario appears but isn't mentioned in the title (like Donkey Kong). Mario refs Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! and is the line judge for Tennis, IIRC.
Otherwise it'd be Dr. Mario (1990).
Edit: checking the mario wiki, there was apparently a Japan-only Famicom Disk System program in 1986 called "I Am a Teacher: Super Mario Sweater". It probably doesn't count since it's not a game, just software to design a sweater with Mario artwork, that you could submit to have a real custom sweater made of (I guess you'd send in the disk?). Giant Bomb has a slightly more fleshed out description.
Mario has really worked more jobs than I knew.
