Completely redefined my view of video games as an artistic and narrative medium as a kid. Also irreversibly ruined my sense of humour and connection to online culture. Thanks Toby.

#YFNSM Okay Spider-Gwen being here is a bit frustrating bc like
A) Where are they gonna fit this in next season
B) CAN WE HAVE JUST ONE SPIDER-PERSON FOR MORE THAN A SEASON
...
However the proto-pumpkin bomb she's got suggests its a Norman team-up, and that's just PERFECT irony, kinda can't wait

Also Lonnie! Lonnie I can't wait to see more of, was very surprised to see that he was in the W.E.B roster as well. A bit disappointed we didn't get to see the talk with his family about dropping out, considering how much they delved into his home life this season. Good cannon fodder for next season though at least, hope they can keep the parallel with him and Peter going

Not sure if I'm a huge fan of the W.E.B stuff, feels like it's gonna err a bit too close to Ultimate show shenanigans (especially with half of Harry's roster having superheros/set-ups on it for some reason), but I'll wait and see. There's a lot of set-up in those last few minutes that feel a bit much all together. Peter's Dad though, OH MAN, I'm itching to see what they do with this. It's either gonna be complete spy nonsense or criminal deadbeat, but I can't wait for Peter to get some more drama out of it

SPOILER TAG 2
Did love the way that the space travel stuff turned out though. Set-up WITHIN the episode could've been a bit better, but it feels like it made good use of the internship stuff. Also kinda glad that the Venom and Dr Strange fight to spider bite ACTUALLY kinda wrapped itself around to being from the usual origin... we could've done without the Watcher cameo though, don't remind me What If exists please (I'm never watching past season 1 [of What If])

SPOILER TAG
The stuff with Norman in this season has been so good, especially in these last few episodes. That said, I wish the end of his partnership with Peter had a bit more... oomph to it? I get they want to string it out for a bigger confrontation in a later season, maybe with GG or the reveal of the spider cloning, but just having it cut off after the lab with no conversation between them felt a bit... empty?

"Besides, I read online the real Cap died four years ago-" "-and it's his clone that's been doing all this."

Oh, oh Octavius is excellent in this already, and he doesn't even have the brain arms yet. That design is just, it's PERFECT

I cannot wait for this to be the mic-drop for edits once Norman inevitably becomes GG

new spider-man episodes dropped

Just rolled credits on the first Sakura Wars. I think my enjoyment was hampered by how segmented my playthrough was, though I still had a great time with it! Might have to go through it again for the bromides and minigames I missed, but otherwise really looking forward to the SW2 translation.

Original scene for somehow less context:
Screenshot from Sakura Wars (1996) using the fan-translation on Saturn. The scene, taking place during a larger training montage with the whole cast, shows an angered Kanna in a grapple-ready fighting pose opposite a brown bull in the Japanese mountainside. Her textbox reads: "I'll show you all! I know I can do it... I'll show you I'm stronger than even my father!"

Next time on Sakura Wars Z: Kanna fights a bull, for some reason?
#sakurataisen #fanart #dbz
A drawing made of two comic panels, with a really buff bull in the right and a female fighter (Kanna from the Sakura Wars series) on the left. In homage to the original fight between Goku and Vegeta in Dragon Ball Z, the bull is stanced open-legged with his hind legs motioned to his left, one half-covering his face. Kanna meanwhile takes a side-on stance, with her left hand and foot forward at a crouch.
