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 thoughts are that it would have been a nice surprise
I just hope that Kirby is canonically the most powerful being in the movies, like he is in the universe and in Smash
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.
I'm pretty sure I just saw a headline mentioning Nintendo working on a new Star Fox game, so I imagine they're some tie-in here with the character in order to market the game to a new generation.
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!
Smash cinemtaic universe or riot
I'm fine with this. If they want to try for an expanded cinematic universe, they can try. Fox and Samus and Kirby and Animal Crossing too. I don't mind. I liked Star Fox quite a bit, so I guess I'm happy!
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
“Do a Barrel Roll” gag incoming.
I found out in the last edition of “what are you playing this weekend.” I’m an avoid spoilers person, but I managed to relax myself and smile. It’s neat to think of another MCU (or maybe instead of Mario, it would be the Nintendo Cinematic Galaxy?).
Why?
