Good point.

so it looks like Tom Hardy is going to be venom.

@angrybrony  
that’s apart of Sony Spiderman cinematic universe minus the spiderman

@angrybrony  
Oh my God way to validate that Death Battle match up.

would Devil May Cry fit the comic medium?

@Background Pony #6799  
They tried a few manga.  
It does not.

@SquiggyBomb  
Give Dante over to a good writer who knows how to write an action comedy and you will get a great comic,

@Thanotos Omega
 
Wasn’t there also a Devil May Cry anime adaptation?

@Jarkes  
It was OK, not great for sure but no more bad at story telling than the games usually are, and it had the best villain in the franchise,

A friend told me that when she supposedly met Jim Carrey and asked if he ever used LSD, Jim said he had as the Riddler in Batman Forever. Tried checking clips online of scenes from the show, but it is often too hard to even make out the eyes well. I can’t tell if Jim’s eyes are dilated in any scenes I can find.
 
Edit: Best image I could find, though perhaps someone else can tell me if the eyes look dilated. Shrugs

@Thanotos Omega  
A Devil May Cry comic doesn’t work for the same reason a Bayonetta movie didn’t work. The biggest draw for those games was a gameplay. When you remove the gameplay you remove half of what made those games memorable.

@SquiggyBomb  
If gameplay was all it took 2 would be way more liked and DMC would be sitting around getting high fived,
 

 
Cute

@Thanotos Omega  
If you think the gameplay of DMC is better than the gameplay of Dante’s Awakening it only shows how little you really know about character action games.

legendary comic writer kurt busiek(marvels, astro city) is co writing Marvel lego superheroes 2 according to CBR

@Background Pony #6799  
Speaking of Busiek here’s a letter he wrote in to X-Men circa 1981 in which he expresses he’s disdain for the direction the book had taken.
 

@Darth Prime  
I wander after all these years he has changed his mind?

so who’s riding Guardians mission Break Out in california?

@Background Pony #6799  
California adventure for those that live close enuff to do it

Idea for a Mon game story, your player character never got their destined partner, instead the player forms a bond of true friendship with a wild monster, you then team up to screw destiny,

Daredevil #20 was a good climax the arc bridges the gap between the end of mark waids run & beginning of charles soules run

CyberConnect2 truly is one of the few developer that mastered the 3D fighting game

@Background Pony #6799  
Okay. No. Lemme stop you right there. Don’t get me wrong I love Cyberconnect2. I think they’re awesome. But if you think ANY of the Ultimate Ninja games are ANY kind of balanced then you are hilariously misguided. Yes, the presentation and style of those games is a lot of fun, but they are BUSTED as all shit. If you want a good balanced 3D fighter then try Virtua Fighter and Tekken.

@SquiggyBomb  
exaggerating little but one of my problems with 3D fighting games is they are not in general as memorable as 2D fighting games your right tekken & virtura fighter are great series no doubt and deserve to be pushed more specially virtual fighter(were is 6 sega?) however 3D fighting lack that “over the top” feel a good chuck of the time that 2D fightings seem to have CyberConnect2 seems at least trying to bring the “over the top” thing to 3D fighters so I give them credit for at least experimenting with 3D fighter little at least

@Background Pony #6799  
The thing about experiments is regardless of how cool they may be sometimes they don’t work out. And again, my point isn’t about presentation, it’s about BALANCE. Balance is one if m the most important things to have, especially in fighting games. The Ultimate Ninja games are not balanced in the slightest.

@SquiggyBomb  
oh in that case I been to Neogaf it made the issue of balance somewhat confusing to me over the years specially if your in page 247 of a thread as an example
 
good night everybody!
