Well, now that I've gotten myself situated, allow me to introduce myself. You can call me Andy. - 23, 🇺🇸, autistic, he/him. - Interests include writing, art, cartoons, anime & manga, comic books, video games, and movies. - Fanfic writer and artist. Maybe you'll see some of my stuff here.

Name a piece of comic art that occasionally wanders into your head unannounced and makes you smile.

Ah yes, the 3DS/Wii U era. The era when most Mario games were just New Super Mario Bros and the Mario RPGs almost fucking died. But it's okay because Nintendo was so much better with Iwata and only Iwata! Miyamoto and Sakurai who?

linuxnerd@loonerlinuxnerd.bsky.social

Still freaks me the hell out. It's tragic that Nintendo has become a soulless shell of what it was until Iwata passed.

You know, I'll give Video Brinquedo this. They may have made shoddy knockoffs of Disney, Pixar, and Dreamworks movies, but at least they were made by humans instead of AI.

China’s first AI-generated theatrical film, ‘Sanxingdui: Future Past’, has bombed at their domestic box office, only making $121,000 USD against a budget of $1.5M USD. In contrast, the crudely animated ‘Niu Lai’ made nearly $10M USD against a budget of $200-500 USD.

As I was writing this post, I found out that Video Brinquedo has left the animated mockbuster business ages ago and now they're making educational videos for children. And a lot of them use AI. (facepalm) www.youtube.com/@criancasint...

Matt: You’re going to acknowledge that there’s more to Amphibia than the Calamity Trio and you will like it!

First look at the cover of the first issue of ‘Amphibia: Strange Voyage’. Available January 13th.

What is your favorite gaming rumor or hoax? Did you believe any of them?

Maybe it's just me, but Sogeking does seem an awful lot like Usopp. Nah, it's probably a coincidence! After all, a lot of characters in One Piece happen to have long noses. Maybe Sogeking was Kaku in disguise this whole time!

Name two characters you think are the same person.

I guess it's true what they say. "That's all, folks."

I didn't really think he was going to appear in the movie to begin with because I assumed they'd save him and a few other characters for a sequel. Maybe depending how old whoever they cast as Colossus is, they could possibly do the Kitty/Colossus romance but this time they're around the same age.

Cosmic Marvel@dailycosmicmarvel.bsky.social

Colossus will reportedly not appear in the ‘X-MEN’ reboot film. (via thecosmiccircus.com/daredevil-ha...)

For reference, Kitty was introduced as a 13 year old girl in the comics while Colossus was in his late teens at the time, about 18 to 19. While the two have gotten older in the years since and it was meant to just be puppy love by Chris Claremont, fans still found the age gap gross.

Heck, they even almost got married in X-Men Gold before Kitty got cold feet and disappeared on Colossus at the altar, but then they decided to get Gambit and Rogue married to each other instead.

Dude, it's over. Just let the Sony-Marvel Cinematic Universe die and let Tom Holland get rizzed up by Felicia Hardy already.

Sony has reportedly been interested in bringing Black Cat to live-action in a project not related to the #MCU. (via thecosmiccircus.com/daredevil-ha...)

I've yet to see Wildwood and I've said multiple times before how the PG-13 rating might turn some people off from seeing it, but from what I've heard, it's rated PG-13 for a very good reason. The cartoon community wishes The Owl House and Amphibia could be this dark!

‘Big City Greens’ storyboard artist Gabi Rodea encourages parents to have their children see ‘Wildwood’ for its mature storytelling.

I feel like more people need to know about how Travis and Phil Knight took over Laika from Will freaking Vinton in 2002 because Will couldn't gather enough money to continue making movies, so Will was booted from the company he founded.

Ironic considering that Spirited Away was the second ever winner of Best Animated Feature, and The Boy and the Heron would take home an Oscar years later.

Yeah, some of the Thunderbolts are probably going to die in Doomsday or Secret Wars. But this could also be an opportunity to reintroduce characters we haven't seen in a while, like.....

Cosmic Marvel@dailycosmicmarvel.bsky.social

The ‘THUNDERBOLTS*’ sequel will reportedly introduce a new Thunderbolts team. (via thecosmiccircus.com/daredevil-ha...)

People will clamor for more original animated films only to start hyping up Shrek 5 and say that it will destroy Disney once and for all while leaving this hidden gem in the dust.

ToonHive@toonhive.bsky.social

‘Forgotten Island’ has surpassed $67M at the worldwide box office against an $80M budget. The film arrives on digital this Tuesday.

And how do you know that? Let me guess, you still assume that Hexed is a ripoff of The Owl House even when both Jared Bush and Rebecca Rose said otherwise, not to mention the dozens of other fantasy media about children discovering mystical alternate worlds?

I feel like as I get older, more and more people decided that criticism should basically boil down to being a complete asshole about everything, thinking you can do so much better than actual professionals who get paid for their work, and bullying everyone who disagrees with you. I'm tired, man.

I've been told I'm not a very good critic, but frankly, it's way better than telling somebody to kill themselves because they enjoy watching Marvel movies or Hazbin Hotel.

"They need to listen to the fans", and the fans they listen to are the most selfish, entitled, and ungrateful brats possible who turn out to be super bigoted nine times out of ten.

To flip some discourse script for a bit: what’s y’all’s Obama number (ie degrees of separation with the former president)? Mine is 3

“No one knows what he really hides behind his mask.” Yeah, nobody knows why he just so happens to look like Tony yet. And nobody tell me that he’s a Tony variant, they make it absolutely clear that he’s from Latveria!

Multi-shipping, people, multi-shipping!

y'all realize you can still ship characters in canon relationships with another character/your oc, right?? 😭😭 like you're not gonna get in trouble it's okay

The Dicker Man.

Vulture@vulture.com

‘Wicker’ stars Alexander Skarsgård as a man made entirely of wicker, complete with a rock-hard wicker dick. But what about splinters? Bacteria? Degradation? Would it be advisable, from a sexual-health perspective, to mount a basket dick? We asked a gynecologist: vulture.visitlink.me/DNQwX5
