Hope springs eternal, and with some of the results we've been seeing I can entertain the possibility... but it's not the basis for a plan. We must also prepare for that to not happen. Flip one house to at least stifle the decay and I, for one, will at least commit to hanging till '28...

Yup, "no ethical consumption under capitalism" and all.

I mean no judgement against people who do engage for the juice to keep going.

I believe our corporate overlords would disapprove.
So I DO approve.
That should balance it out.

Hmm...
Hey, what's this flag doing here? I'm sure it's completely unrelated.

Fox was a significant acceleration, but neither the root, nor the tipping point.
Dropping the fairness doctrine was big, allowing the birth of the right wing disinfo sphere. CNN had a big hand in making news a business unto itself, or, rather, an entertainment business.

Yup, and they don't like being called out on that.

Also, in my experience, how they plan to GAIN control isn't answered, either.

I haven't seen '97 yet. It's on my "to watch" list, but pretty low. More like "to consider watching" I guess.

Oh, speaking of X Men cartoons, fun fact, Evolution had a couple notable bits based on films. I think there was something more than this dance like that

From the buffy community on Reddit: I would wager that the animators of X-Men evolution are fans of Buffy

When I watched the old Fox cartoon, I preferred Bishop.
I can't remember why, but I remember that I did.

His whole thing is very viper beam focused...
December 17, 2025 at 11:21 PM
I am curious what he wrote about TR.
I'd guess it'd be something assuming TR would like him, being a republican and coming from wealth, the doof would assume some like mindedness, exposing a deep misunderstanding of the man.

The other character blocks this, but that's their action. They can't block again, and the block doesn't last till they hit the ground. Cable, in that time, can land, jump, and air hyper viper beam.
The air hyper viper beam can combo into itself.
3 meters and you have a guaranteed second character ko
December 17, 2025 at 11:15 PM
He has a NASTY trick if he's on screen when you KO someone, or knock them out. The next character jumps in, but it's a regular jump, where you only get one action. One action can be "block".
If the cable player times it right, on the way in he can jump and fierce punch to fire the pistol...

Yeah, Jin even throws fire with his normal attacks. Everything but his weak attacks caused chip. Gave him some strength against Ice Man.
But, yeah, Ice Man was high tier among us in college.
Not TOP tier. That was still folks like Cable, Doom, Storm, Magneto, the usual suspects.
December 17, 2025 at 11:11 PM
He also doesn't take chip damage unless it's a fire based attack, which can mess with you if you're not aware of it.
That's one advantage of Jin, dude was throwing out fire all over the place and wound up doing a good chunk of chip to Ice Man.
December 17, 2025 at 11:03 PM
It's all good. I, on the other hand, knew I could never really compete at a high level, so I would consistently try to get something stupid to work, like that Shuma Gorath tag thing. Or laser combo-ing into Hayato's Lvl 3 "Dark Hayato" super.
I could barely juggle well in that game built on juggles.
December 17, 2025 at 11:02 PM
Those beamers could be a handful. Saw one guy who was really good with Ice Man because he could predict your motions pretty well and know when to angle up to hit you in the air.
December 17, 2025 at 11:00 PM
Oh, I think you already said that. Sorry. 😅

You ever manage the Iron Man infinite juggle?
December 17, 2025 at 10:55 PM
My Hayato was very rudimentary. Mostly just mix ups of his laser combos.

Did you have preferred other 2 for your team?
December 17, 2025 at 10:49 PM
No, I never used RockMan much

At one point I tried to make "Team progressively angrier", with Hayato, Jin, and Sabertooth. All 3 have no pupils in their art. Hayato looks focused, Jin looks angry, Sabertooth looks like he's screaming.
But I couldn't get Sabertooth down.

It's totally valid to pick characters just because they amuse you, and MVC2 has some very amusing stuff. Like Tron Bonne teaming with a ServBot.

Which brings to mind, you may have fun watching JMCrofts, who explores some fighting game stuff, including MVC2

When I was in college, we had a cabinet in the game room. I was never too good, but one of the best players, I once managed to hit with some kind of combo where I saw he stopped moving his hands in surprise, and uttered "damn"
I took that as a huge compliment. Even if only once, I clocked in good.
December 17, 2025 at 10:41 PM
Also, I never proved it, but I suspect that if you do it in the right position, the tag in hit would connect, which could combo into most supers.
December 17, 2025 at 10:38 PM
BB Hood was fun to watch. So many guns.
My main in MVC2 was Jin, Hayato, and Shuma Gorath.
Shuma had an under-recognized trait. If you hit the Mystic Stare, the eyes that stick and detonate after some time, they also detonate if you tag. So, you could tag him out more safely after a hit.

I can also say that when I saw X3, the "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" was much funner since I didn't know where it came from. Not knowing it was a reference made it just seem so much more cartoonishly egotistical and silly.
