I honestly was not expecting them to branch out into other IP beyond DK. With this introduction it does feel like they are heading towards a Smash Brothers movie. That aside, I would love a Star Fox franchise to exist again. Looking forward to the new rumored game.

    My thought is that I didn’t know he was in the movie because I’ve been avoiding trying to see stuff about it since half the fun is finding out fun easter eggs while watching.

    But scrolling Lemmy spoiled that, so that’s fun.

      My apologizes. It was not my intention at all. It’s been all over the internet, so I falsely assumed everyone knew by this point.

      This is a thought I had for Hulk being in ragnarok. That would have been an amazing surprise in the move theater.

        Oh boy it was an amazing surprise for me. I hadn’t been keeping up with the Marvel films and my friends invited me to Thor: Ragnarok (I hadn’t seem the first two).

        I was absolutely flabbergasted to see the Hulk there. I was like “What the fuck is he doing here! This is awesome!”

        Sometimes it’s great to be out-of-the-loop

    i passed over the first mario movie because the trailers made it feel to “look, thing from game!” and it seems like this one is doubling down on that just with nintendo instead of mario. it’s a shame, because mario’s wild setting is such fertile ground to tell all sorts of stories, and star fox could make for a great space opera in it’s own right. here’s hoping this upcoming zelda thing has some faith in itself instead of just trying to cruise on brand recognition

    Let’s just face facts. It’s basically the same strategy as Space Jam 2.

    Instead of any - y’know - varied entertainment value, what you’ll get is an assembly line of “'member this character?”

    Probably followed by one big group shot, end on credits and sale of merch at the exits.

    Form a line for ancillary evil but cute villain side kick character #32. 130$ - made in Bangladesh by children 2$ a pop.

    Now that I’ve pissed all over what little joy and pleasure you gain from this rechid world, it’s time to attend a funeral to remind everyone how awful their loved ones were when they were still alive.

    Captain Buzzkill, away~! Swoosh!
