I snagged some of their comics before I knew the whole deal, for what it's worth, so I get it. I'm just resolved to not getting anything moving forward

On the Street Fighter movie: It’s cool that they got Hirooki Goto playing E. Honda, but how are they gonna cast who they casted for Dan Hibiki when Toru Yano is RIGHT THERE???

Supertober Day 15: Jor-El & Lara

I saw a featurette with Koji, Callina and Centineo talking about playing the game (I like Koji and Callina seems cool so, curious) and the three of them put over Schulz as "the best SF gamer in the cast" and I am seriously tinfoil hat wondering if that's to take heat off him from the gamers

Capcom also signed the Street Fighter comics license to UDON, whose director of publishing is an anti-DEI bigot, so, sadly, there's precedent

Even before he was casted, Andrew Schulz was making awful jokes about black women. Openly talks about how much he respects Trump and his administration. Threatened to rape Kendrick Lamar after Kdot called this white corny ass out on Wacced Out Murals. Covid vaccine denier… like Capcom? What lmao?

Receipts in video form downthread if you gotta see it but I'M not putting that on your TL

Me: maybe I'm overreacting about Schulz being in the Street Fighter movie, maybe I need to chill out and hang back (Quick Bluesky search of "Schulz Street Fighter") ...DURING PROMOTION FOR THE MOVIE?!?

To be clear, I'm not trying to be a nag or a scold! I agree that "fun and stupid" is PERFECTLY acceptable as goals for a Street Fighter movie. But Schulz playing Dan legitimately pisses me off and it's my biggest reservation about it and it frankly makes me mad that I CAN'T be unequivocally excited

I think being pissed that they cast a racist white comedian who did a bit blaming Asians for the Corona outbreak to play a Japanese guy is a fair reason to have reservations

Cute

Which makes the new prestige figures make sense, I'm just wondering how many of them would show up for a 2000AD cross brand collabo

No no, don't raise it slowly, it's cool. I think I'M the stick in the mud

Or BMFM did GANGBUSTERS in the UK and I didn't hear about it

I am underestimating the Stallone movie/Biker Mice cartoon Venn Diagram overlap apparently

At least an interchangeable head with a human foot sticking out of her mouth would've made it seem more of a value

Hasbro going fully articulated on its GI Joe Classified animal familiars really kind of sets a high bar versus a Man Eating Cow statue, huh
