Hey, I have a Question for Non-Binary folks. If I have a character who is canonly Non-Binary and are a robot. Is it okay for them to be able to change their body and form or would that be offensive?

Sorry guys for taking a while on my Nightmare on Elm Street Review. I guess I've been too caught up in Lämps!

Mmmm....Lämps~

*Lip Licking Intensifies*

listen I know that venom isn’t technically in the MCU but I can’t stop thinking about Grown Adult Eddie Brock meeting High Schooler Peter Parker in the Avengers for the first time and not having any bad history with him and just immediately adopting him????

My problem with The Avengers (game)

Okay, I'm ticked off, so I'm going straight for the throat on this one.

Gameplay seems fine from glimpses and the story is eh. BUT THE DESIGN IS AWFUL.

But I'm getting ahead of myself, lemme show y'all how you do this correctly.

Take Spider-Man PS4 as an example. Their Peter Parker is easy on the eyes, recognizable, and is pretty well designed. On top of that, the suit, while different, is faithful to the original and colorful, like Superheroes should be.

It's a fantastic design by Sony and helped the game on it's path to greatness.

Avengers on the other hand....

First off, Captain America looks like my uncle on Halloween. In addition, all the people who bitched about the outfit in the first Avengers movie are taking what they said back. Unnecessary Armor Galore!

It actually reminds me of the 90's era of comics where a bunch of characters got unneeded armor or redesigns just because. And even by the Liefeldian standards of the day this is too much.

Thor has it a bit better, but not by much. The armor needs a rework because currently it looks more like a clobbered together cosplay.

As for Black Widow, her costume is fine...But WHAT IS WRONG WITH HER FACE! She looks like a man in a wig. Like a High Def Farquad!

The only Avenger to come out well was the Hulk! Even then how do you fuck that up?

Tony looks alright as well but his armor is pretty damn generic. In the movies as well, each armor had a characteristic that helped give it a personality and made them distinguishable.

In addition, they all look so drab and colorless! It's boring

Now you all may say it's not like a game has bombed on visuals...

Uhm...Where were you during Marvel vs Capcom Infinite?

In fact, this feels like a repeat! A hyped as hell game with subpar visuals and design with a shortened roster with the promise of more to come.

Crystal Dynamics, you have a year to fix this. Don't fuck it up.

I’M ON THE HYPE TRAIN GUYS! AND THERE’S NO BREAKS!!!!!!!!

I just got randomly tagged into a post about Ray Bens and a sale on them or whatever...and I dunno how to feel

"Popcorn, ready. Soda? Opened and Fizzy! Lights? Dimmed! Let's review a Movie!"

Today, I would like to commemorate an event which has laid a very profound impact on the internet.

Ten years ago on this day (06/08/09), a forum website called SomethingAwful held a photoshop contest titled “create paranormal images”.  The contest would require participants to edit ordinary photographs into creepy-looking images, and then try to pass them off as authentic photos on other paranormal forums.

Two days later, on June 10th, a user by the name Victor Surge would find this thread, and become inspired.  He submitted the two pictures above, featuring a tall, faceless monster which would stalk children, who would then disappear.  He called his monster “the Slender Man”. After this initial post, Surge and others would expand on the character and the story, creating one of the internet’s most famous monsters.  The Slender Man proved to be popular enough to spread to other websites, with 4chan, Deviantart, and TV Tropes all having their own Slender-Mania. On June 20th of that same year, another user on the SomethingAwful forums found the Slender Man, and also wanted to contribute.  Noticing nobody had made any videos yet of the monster, he sat down with some of his friends and planned out a video webseries involving a former college film student discovering and unravelling the mysteries surrounding Slender Man; this would become Marble Hornets, one of the first horror-themed ARG’s of the internet.

That all happened ten years ago.  Ten years of haunting the darkest corners of the internet, and Slender Man has built up a surprisingly dense resume, for a fictional monster.  Several popular webseries, a couple hit games, at least two movies, even inspiring other characters in seperate series like the Silence in Dr Who and the Enderman in Minecraft.  And all this within a ten-year period.

I think this just attests to how much humans can be inspired by an idea.  From a small handful of edited photographs, we collectively constructed a new monster which lurks in our nightmares, and now it almost seems as natural as the horror mythos he was based on.  For better or worse, the Slender Man seems to be here to stay. Happy Birthday, Slendy!  Here’s to hoping you continue to be both terrifying and terrific!
