(2024 Media Thread!!!)
In 2023 I checked out 44 new things!!!
There was definitely more as I only started the thread halfway through the year. But 44 is still a low number even for half a year imo! Let's make it higher for 2024!!!
SO LET'S BEGIN MY 2024 MEDIA THREAD!
(2023 Media Thread!)
I'm gonna start a new Media Thread too! Like... halfway through the year. But dang it, I'm tired of being in my bubble! I want to see and play lots of new stuff! You would not believe how sheltered I am lol.
So let's do this!!!
Also this is just straight up the BEST LOOKING attempt any cartoon has ever made at making their own in-universe game.
Like... I would actually play Gwimbly 3: Gwimbly's Revenge if I could! No other cartoon comes close.
@EVO
That was actually EXTREMELY thoughtless tbh. Disappointing of whoever's idea it was, and very disrespectful to Harada and Bandai Namco. Faking an insane reveal and tease for a character as huge as Snake, then ripping it away could easily damage people's Tekken 7 Season 3 hype.
@moonwalkxr
"Alright campers, I heard SOMEone hasn't been saving before they reset the game. Do you REALLY wanna lose all your hard work just like that? Because I'm sure Chef would be HAPPY to help!"
"Yeah, that's what I thought!"
@EVO
Why not have Goku call the audience from King Kai's planet during the Smash Ultimate Top 8 while you're at it and call it a joke? Many people may not even see this "apology" of yours and still think Snake is coming, leading to bad rep for Namco when he doesn't come.
@SSGPrinceVegeta
I have ZERO clue why I feel defensive of Chris Pratt as Mario, I legit don't care for him as an actor and barely know anything about him.
But I mean...hasn't he already done a pretty good job bringing a cheerful and optimistic blank slate character with an average job to life?
@SSGPrinceVegeta
I know he doesn't SOUND like Mario in the games, but does nobody remember all the cartoons where Mario seemed just fine sounding like an average joe?
Don't tell me y'all expect Mario to be all "WAHOO!!! SPAGHETTI! RAVIOLI!" for 90 minutes and not emote or be an actual character.
I'M WHEEZING
WHO IS THIS EDGY ANIME ANTI-HERO WHO HASN'T QUITE YET FINISHED HIS REDEMPTION ARC???
CAN A MAN NOT LEAVE A RACE BECAUSE DINNER IS READY? OR I HAD TO USE THE RESTROOM? OR WHATEVER RACE THIS WAS?
HE DIDN'T EVEN LOSE APPARENTLY.
@ScrubQuotesX
@Callme_wumple
Nah it's totally Gwimbly 3! Used to speedrun it! Though I could never set a world record. That Scrumblo's Mountain skip is just too demanding.
One take I've hated today after the demise of Crash Team Rumble is the idea that Crash Bandicoot needs to stay away from multiplayer/live-service.
I've got lots to say because people seem to forget what an icon Crash was, AND STILL IS!

@that70sclips
Red and Kelso are a very close second though!
Red's development into a better father/husband was great. And so was Kelso learning to take responsibility. But Hyde did the same at a much higher level that slowly progressed throughout the whole show. He'd be a better MC than Eric.
I know you guys are upset that Debi isn't returning as Coco's VA in Crash 4. But P L E A S E be kind and welcoming to her new actress, whoever she may be! From what we've heard, she's already doing a great job! Same with Tawna's new actress!

This whole fight gave me more pure superhero movie hype than most Marvel or DC, but THIS part right here???? YEAH IM THINKING ITS PEAK CINEMA, WIZ
Thank you
@BeenoxTeam
for all the AMAZING work you do on Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled! It has grown to become my favorite game of ALL TIME!!!
And with characters as obscure as Yaya joining the roster, I think it's time for the Crash suit guy to show up!
I REALLY miss Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled sometimes.
Crash Team Rumble has NOT been it the past few weeks.
Nitro Fueled literally had WAY too much content coming out WAY too fast. You know how good of a game you have to be for THAT to be a flaw?????
I wanna go back.
Storytelling in Crash games should evolve. Crash has always been inspired by cartoons of the era, and it's grown with them!
Looney Tunes inspiration in the 90s games.
Absurdist humor in his 2000s games.
And now we're in an era where cartoons can tell DARING and deep new stories!
WELP, it's official. I'm a Sonic fan again. I can deny it no longer. I'm relapsing. This poster may be such a tiny thing, but stacked up with all the other tiny things AND BIG THINGS in the past few months, I can't not be happy and excited.
Not bringing back my OC tho LOL.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
THIS MOVIE HAS THE MOST IMMACULATE MARKETING IVE EVER SEEEN
@looneyclips
Jokes like this, wabbit season, and โnow? or wait til you get home?โ are why Iโm upset Elmer and Yosemite Sam lost their signature weapons in the new cartoons.
What kinda jokes can you tell with Elmerโs new thing? Uhhh... slicing...? I miss Daffyโs beak getting blown around.
I don't think it's this picture that started the debate, it's Crash 4's writing. This pic is just the best way to visualize it I guess lol.
Since Crash can't talk, it's up to others to deliver exposition and story dialogue. (Cortex in Twinsanity, Aku Aku in Titans) (1/5)
While "Calarts" style is a dumb name, there absolutely is a very non-threatening, samey art style to most cartoons now.
I miss KND's wacky tech-deck figure lookin' anatomy and thick outlines. Invader Zim's sharp edges and morbid nature. I really do miss the dirty rough look.
I hope that
#JakandDaxter
movie news is fake LMAO.
I can get over Chris Pratt voicing Mario. It's kind of hard to mess that up anyways.
But DAXTER??? Nah, there's NO way Chris can pull this off. Ever. In a million years. Not just the voice, but the charm and comedic timing too
Hey Voice Actors!
Think you can voice Shadow the Hedgehog?
Come up with a line for Shadow to say as he unleashes the ultimate power of โChaos Magicโ!
(Or whatever you wanna call it ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ)
Give it a try!

's beautiful mushroom killing speech.
It's such a tiny detail, but I love that the boss' health meter in the bottom right corner of the tv is in the exact same style as Crash Bandicoot boss health meters.๐

@OneyNG
Will there be an option to enlarge things for people with poor eyesight? Just looking at the trailer, text in speech bubbles and Bowlbo himself were absurdly small. I was already having trouble keeping track of where he was.
@Etika
During the stream, a few minutes after he's taken, you can hear him outside the building screaming "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRR" and chanting "JOYCON BOYZ" over and over. I wish I was only kidding.

@NetflixGeeked
I know one of them is Nicholas Kole. The character designer and concept artist for Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time and Spyro: Reignited Trilogy.
His @ is FromHappyRock if you wanna follow and check out his stuff!
@looneyclips
Iโm not a gun person, so if they come up with a different weapon to convey jokes this clever, then Iโd love to see it. But for now, the wit in the slapstick is missing. The writing and dialogue is still fine, but the slapstick is mostly generic explosions and running into things.

๐These limitations are terrible. We told you during the RIpper Roo event and you claimed you listened!
๐Stop with the limits.
๐One more time, STOP WITH THE LIMITS. No one wants it, and it makes us want to play less!

Hey Leopold, I think that's a really fun suggestion that I certainly hadn't thought of! I would definitely recommend you enter it to our official CTR Feedback form so the team can take a look at it: They're always listening for quality suggestions!. ^GL

Charles is a FANTASTIC actor, but his Mario voice wasn't originally cast with emotion in mind. Just little game sounds.
He's spoken full sentence with Mario before, but only in interviews and improvisational scenarios where emoting and contextual awareness weren't required.
Naughty Dog hasn't done anything impressive in over a decade. It's not mind blowing that you can make leaves and hair 10% more realistic than your last game. I miss when they could blow us away with incredible fictional fantasy worlds. The real world has been realism'd enough.
Crash fans when a new installment comes out and it doesn't have 1,000 levels that they can 100% first try, Platinum relics that can be earned without hitting a single time crate, changes Crash's fur to a 1% lighter orange, and also isn't a Twinsanity remake or sequel.
