The Chip 'N Dale 90's cartoon intro music is pretty good:

You know, if Surge and Kit are kinda like Sonic and Tails' Wario and Waluigi.
Then Mario needs to go ahead and have its own version of Shadow. That's right, give us edgy Mario.

Mario has had almost as many "weird fake Marios" as Sonic's had his own lookalikes.
In order these are Mask Koopa, Wario (and Waluigi), Mario Clone, Shadow Mario, Doopliss, Cosmic Mario, Bowser Memory ML, and the Cosmic Clones.
And since you're bringing up comic-exclusive characters like Surge, we'll dig into the Mario expanded lore too, with Pietro - the fake Mario Brother from the Super Show episode, aptly titled "Fake Bro"

I've been muting more and more words and terms lately on Twitter.
One Piece fans got on my nerves, and now Dragon Ball fans.
Might just mute everything at this point.

Chip and Dale is a 7/10, like I feel it’s a pretty good movie for kids (some aspects maybe be a little pg-13 for them but eh I saw worse a child) I found it pretty fun. Ugly Sonic was pretty funny and the “star” cameo which is not something I was expecting. Got a few laughs out of me, don’t regret watching it, never watchted a single episode of Chip n Dale but might check some out now

"In case you've forgotten, you have your own reasons for coming. You had a favorite comic book, until Sega canceled it. Think of your favorite characters. Of Scourge. Of Sally. Avenge them. Keep moving forward. Even if you die, even after you die. After all, this whole ugly story started with Sonic 2."
edit:@Kuzu I needed to make this more unhinged -

Kuzu
Surge or Scourge?
-
-
-

I am shocked myself but Scourge was the best Archie Preboot villain, arguably even better than Doctor himself.
Anyway it's still a bit too early to reply. I think I like that Surge is more original than "evil clone" and she is more tragic, more likeable. BUT in the end Scourge wins because he had a little more fun personality.
Few examples of his greatness
- Trying to kick Metal Sonic in the nuts
- While fighting trying to desperately to keep his crown on his head
- Getting saved by Sonic (from Metal Scourge) than very purposely not returning the favor
- "All hail to the king, baby"Again, bit too early. Surge must earn her rep to measure up to King of Moebius.

Saw The Bad Guys today. It was pretty simple, but full of charm. While I do get that Mr Wolf and Mr Snake get the lions share of the personal conflict, I definitely disagree that you could cut the rest of the gang without sacrificing anything, since the heists and the five-way interplay are a significant chunk of the film.

Ugly Sonic is like a peek into a timeline where Sonic got a Wario-type "similar-looking rival" character instead of a Shadow-type one.
-

@Kuzu I think an WariSonic would just be a comically exaggerated version of the character rather than just “look at him he’s ugly”. He’d still have to look appealing to the general public.

just watched that new chip n dale movie and i feel like ugly sonic is the only thing people are gonna remember from it, movie just felt forgettable
-
-
Even if he wasn't in, that's still a thousand other IP cameos for people to gobble up before they get to the actual by-the-numbers plot. (Shrek and Batman in a Disney movie anyone???) It's more concerned on being a meta Roger Rabbit successor than a Rescue Rangers film, though for what it's worth, the IP shilling cameo fest was still handled better than prior attempts like SJ2

I'm starting to think a franchise that lasts 20+ years, will just inevitably have the fandom implode on itself at some point. It's disturbingly common it seems.
Star Wars...Dragon Ball...Sonic...can't escape it.

@Shade VortexHow do you get banned from RETRO for being too negative?? That entire site is almost nothing but negativity and cynicism...
-
That's kind of what I was thinking to myself, too... But you know, I guess getting mad at people who think Sonic has done nothing wrong and people like -us- are the problem with the community did me no favors. As if blind fanboyism/loyal support isn't a much bigger issue for the quality of the series going forward than bitter cynicism- because in their case, it doesn't matter what it is, if it's Sonic, they'll support it...

@ZayshoThere very fact people are so heated means they care.

I thought the 90s was when CTW/SW really started capitalizing on Elmo's popularity to the chagrin of fans, he was an borderline Anything Muppet until Clash started performing him in the mid-80s
Don't disagree otherwise. I'll also throw in people who prefer Sesame Street in its earlier years when it had the 'magazine' format vs. the current 'narrative' approach that's been in use since the 2000s

Rise of Lyric's comedy mostly doesn't do anything special, but I have to admit Knuckles knocking a Ring out of Sonic by accidentally patting him on the back too hard is pretty funny.

How do you delete quote blocks on mobile, this is infuriating. I keep accidentally tapping the quote block and it's basically stuck there until I can get access to a desktop computer
-
-
-
That’s odd. Sounds like a bug @Dreadknux?
-
You have to tap the quote block to select it (the entire block should be highlighted), then while you’re in keyboard mode (active within the post area) hit backspace. Might need a couple tries.
It IS very finicky though I won’t lie. There isn’t an awful lot we can do with it as we’re talking about base code in the website platform and not a design issue. If it’s too problematic I can remove the quote button from the mobile post area so you won’t have to worry about this anymore.

Here's a mod that makes Metropolis Zone in Sonic 2 not terrible
-
-
-
@Shade VortexTry this mod. It contains a total of 50 rings in DEZ (you kinda have to look for them though) so if you have the emeralds you can even go Super Sonic on Eggman's ass. (Sonic's instashield is also extremely helpful against both bosses)
-
i just played through the whole thing and holy shit, it's almost uncanny having such a smooth experience in metropolis.
like... i can actually run through it! the obstacles are fun to jump and spin through while keeping up my pace! i don't have to awkwardly tiptoe through the whole thing! i'm actually having fun!

marvel should just say fuck it and make morbius say "its morbin' time" in the comics. "gotta-go-fast" that mf, capitalize on it, lol

I just learned that the tradition of saying “bless you” after someone sneezes is derived from a superstition that sneezing releases evil spirits from your body.
-
-
But why can't farting and burping only exorcises gas, and not your demons? Don't you wonder how nice it would be if people told you God bless you when you cut the cheese, and that it's only the demon making that bad smell? But here we are, needing to say "Excuse me" ourselves when that happens, yet other people do the excusing for you sneezing.
What kinda excuse is that?
