Welpsaw The Mario Trailer Recently. And Its A Lot Better Than I Expected It To Be. And While I Can See

Welp…saw the Mario trailer recently. And it’s a lot better than I expected it to be. And while I can see why some may be bothered by Chris Pratt’s voice so far, I’m…really not that bothered? A few friends of mine pointed out while Pratt didn’t really sound like the Mario we know from his game series, he did sound a bit like Mario from the 80′s cartoons. And if that’s what Pratt was aiming for, good for him there. It’s not the Mario we are used to, but it’s still a Mario we know. I know some of us are a bit upset at the voice, but try and look at it differently; maybe Pratt’s Mario will later get an accent in the movie as a side effect from being in the Mushroom Kingdom (it did look like he came from another world after all). You don’t have to like my opinion or agree with me on it, but it’s just a bit of food for thought.

I came across a compilation of animated cutscenes from the game Miraculous: Rise of Sphinx and I was extremely surprised to find a specific flashback scene with Gabriel and Nathalie in the game. you all should take a look:

this scene seems to tell us why Gabriel chose to use Butterfly Miraculous to become a villain, and what role Nathalie played in that. to be honest, I'm shocked. I would never have thought that this will be shown IN THE GAME, but NOT IN CANON.

In light of recent conversations mingling in the Transformers fandom on here…

He

definitely

has

a

personality.

Don’t get me wrong, love the show and love the characters, but there’s no denying that the writing and plot wasn’t always 100%, and that’s widely accepted for the most part. But…conveying that he has no personality…the fuck?

I think some of his large defining qualities is his selflessness…

…his occasionally overly optimistic outlook on the those who have fallen into disarray…

…his determination and drive to end struggle…

…the intense concern he holds for others above himself…

Again, don’t get me wrong, I’m absolutely frothing at the mouth in excitement for this guy…

…because I got into the fandom through this guy…

But this guy, definitely has a personality. Perhaps a little unhealthily emotionally absent whether out of Primely necessity or not, but he definitely has definitive qualities that make him, him.

Tldr: Tfp Optimus Prime has a personality, he’s just a very emotionally constipated owl because he probably thinks that his burdens are his to deal with alone and he feels responsible. Look at Orion Pax ffs, that’s literally young Optimus Prime…FIGHT ME?

You: Twilight's the only one who doesn't know he's in a family comedy

Me: Everyone else around him don't know they're in a spy thriller, serious drama. The narrative demands they are ignorant of the threats to their peace. The whole of Spy x Family is in fact a very sincere meditation on war and violence that's disguised cleverly as a slice-of-life comedy because it's the only palatable and commercial way to sell a very sincere meditation on war and violence to the public. But like the Forgers, the series' mask sometimes slip and you see the immense and dark turmoil underneath... In this essay, I will -

Small note: There were also Seekers in other Transformers media.

Anyway,

I’m so excited!

earthspark stuff i have gleaned from people on twitter who were at the NYCC panel:

first up: they showed episode one! no spoilers below, don't worry- i'll just discuss all the stuff they said on the panel. but the early reviews sound really positive. it sounds like the show gets off the ground running immediately.

elita is second in command to OP, she's SiC of the autobots and helping run things with GHOST.

there will be 'flashback' sequences which are animated in an homage to the G1 style. (jazz is in the background of one of them! HE EXISTS) it sounds like they're directly taking a lot of inspiration from specifically the G1 show for the general backstory. it'll be interesting to see if we get any direct cartoon references outside just the general style for the flashbacks.

there are still decepticons who are bad guys in the show, despite megs being pretty unambiguously not a villain by the sounds of it- regarding the war they apparently said 'not everyone has moved on', which suggests to me megs and OP both opposing a faction of cons who want to re-start the war. sidenote: both OP and megs are shown in the trailers wearing new insignias, but megs' at least incorporates the 'con symbol, so it doesn't seem like he's not a 'con anymore per se.

both skywarp and nova storm are voiced by nicole dubuc herself!! (i didn't realize- apparently she does occasional VA work.) they're described as seekers specifically, which seems here to be similar to e.g. cyberverse where it's a unit within the decepticons.
