Dr. Eggman’s new evil scheme is to upgrade Metal Sonic into the ultimate fighting machine by stealing Sonic’s life-data and harnessing the power of the Chaos Emeralds. Can Sonic and his friends defeat this supercharged Metal Sonic?
@wanderjegson The Sojo chapters have never been included in the volumes, but Volume 12 includes the Soya chapter in between chapters 112 and 113. I assume the reason is that if Soya returns to the main story then that chapter is necessary, but the Sojo ones aren’t.
Idk man. Even if it wasn’t the financial “correct” answer, I don’t think forcing out a Batman movie without a vision behind it for the sake of money would’ve been a good idea creatively, and it kinda sucks that DC will probably never be creative-first again after this. This sucks
Completely insane statement about Superman’s cultural impact aside, I do not like that a lot of people’s reaction to all of this is essentially “Gunn should’ve crapped out a Batman movie out of obligation instead of letting creatives make the projects they wanted to make”
One of the reasons Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios had to do with box office.
• ‘Supergirl’ was a massive bomb this year.
• ‘Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance either, as the film lacked “pop culture impact” in their eyes.

Also, constant delays of The Batman Part 2 also definitely did not help either (not the fault of anyone making that film), and I can imagine that the pressure to release tBatB wasn’t as heavy when there was, ideally, a Batman movie already releasing within the first two years.
@TheRealOGDaffy And even then Giorno being Dio’s son is important, but more in how Giorno’s character contrasts Dio than in the literal plot of the Part. Giorno was able to endure a similarly rough childhood to Dio’s and come out the other side a good person from a single act of kindness
Nobody has to like Breath of the Wild of course, and it’s reasonable to prefer the traditional style of 3D Zelda, but with how the general vibe around the series and internet in general was at the time, it’s not surprising they swung the pendulum so hard in the other direction
The early 2010s was a very strange and different time on the Internet, especially for gaming. Without the context of the time it’s hard to imagine “3D Zelda is stale,” and “Sonic shouldn’t have any friends” were common opinions that actually impacted the games themselves
It's funny to me how quickly people forgot where we were right before Breath of the Wild. The ALTTP/OOT structure was the norm for decades. It was a huuuuge consensus among the fanbase that the series was in danger of getting sale. It's the entire reason BOTW/TOTK exists.
Zelda 1’s open ended structure that plopped you into a vast world to explore on your own was something that many wanted to see in 3D, and Skyward Sword’s linearity in comparison was seen as a failing by many. BotW, obviously, then did exactly this
Ichiki is one where it would be more for my own sake of figuring out this character. Like he’s in this manga way more than you’d think and yet I’m still not sure what his deal is
Ibuki is just cool and I wanna talk about him more idk, and he connects well to other characters too
Mashiro is appealing because he’s a complete character and he’s not particularly hard to piece together, but nobody has really done it much yet
Subaru is one my favorites who has a lot of more subtle character work, so I’d like to talk about him in detail
