I remember the videos about them being in it

Ya.

It had great visuals and a story that could’ve worked if it had more time to cook, but was honestly just mediocre all around.

TBH apart from the “Zurg is Buzz from the future” twist i thought Lightyer was pretty good

@ᎶㄖҜㄩ 乃ㄥ卂匚Ҝ
Look, I agree 100%, but try telling that to Disney. They’re the ones who looked at that movie’s failure and decided “oh, it can’t possibly be because we made an unnecessary spin-off that was boring as sin and put it in theaters after brow-beating our audience into thinking that future Pixar movies would be exclusive to Disney+. No, it has to be because we drove the neo-nazis away by having two women kiss!”

It sounds ridiculous, but it lines up with all the other bigoted shit that the company’s been doing (between this and shelving that one Moon Girl episode).

Infection AU’s can be interesting but it makes me cringe when a well established “super strong in universe” character is somehow done in by a simple infected who was previously a nameless background character.

If the infection can turn nameless fodder into endgame level threats then there’s a serious power scaling issue going on.

I agree

@Applepie2010
I kind of agree. I was pretty entertained bar a few things.

I think its mostly the concept thats unappealing for many. Many seem to think its more of a modern movie instead of a 80s/90s sci fi flick.

Of course many good stuff have bad premises but good execution.

Dont think Lightyear was great but I enjoyed it for what it was.

Nick frost star wars droid then

Now

Ironically I just watched Lightyear a few days ago.

If you approach it as a handwavy sci-fi b-movie it’s an enjoyable film.

It read like a film that you could imagine the bots from Mystery Science Theater 3000 sitting in front of and roasting.

I swear to god this is real

@northern haste
Death by Exploding shrubbery

This is an actual panel in the Sonic comics and I’m losing it.

@Dustcan
THOUGHTS ON THE METAL VIRISE ARC NOW!

@northern haste
“The original idea of Pac Man was to make a cuter video game character that could contrast the more agressive masculine space fighter characters.”

I think Amazon lost the whole point of why Pac Man was even created.

The only similarity to Pac Man I can see is just the concept of running from a strong being. Thats it.

@northern haste
couldn’t even make him yellow? really?

@northern haste
Seems some companies didn’t learn from the “Ugly Sonic” fiasco that plagued the first Sonic movie.

@ᎶㄖҜㄩ 乃ㄥ卂匚Ҝ
Or maybe they learned the most shallow lessons from the fiasco.

“You can’t make an ugly Pac Man, if he’s not Pac Man at all.”

Thought it was lame at first but it kinda picked up every issue. By the time the Deadly 6 showed up I was straight up binging it until the conclusion.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Tbf the people behind this show made it clear that this isn’t supposed to be a 1:1 adaption of Pac-Man, rather a “reinterpretation” of the original arcade game

All the other video games being adapted in this show (Armered Core, Sifu, Unreal Tournament, ect) are getting straightforward adaptions, it just seems that Pac-Man was the only one that they were told to go nuts with

I’d have preferred an anime adaptation of Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures.

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
Eh I guess.

But I feel like Id rather go nuts meant an epic cartoonish anime style battle with possible Looney Tune gags.

But hey if they execute their edgy style well then by all means. (I dont think they will tho)
