The original Chewbacca has died.

This isn't exactly surprising, but this kind of thing is rarely not disconcerting: my lecturer in chaos theory is definitely extremely qualified for the job. What with having authored or co-authored... most of the leading papers in chaos detection, as far as I can tell.

... wait, why is that disconcerting? Are they a terrible lecturer or something? Usually finding out something like that is pretty awesome, not off-putting or summat.

Open the door, get on the floor~

... I actually kinda' liked the old smb movie, honestly. For its time it tried pretty hard.

Dunno? The trailer shows some signs of fairly clear reference to the games. That might not mean they actually played one, or that anyone calling the shots paid any attention to the people that did (or that said people spoke up to begin with), or that they played anything except, like. One of the terrible ones. Or whatever sundry list you could keep making.

Honestly, it's fairly staggeringly unlikely that nobody making the thing played. Hitman is relatively niche in comparison. Sonic games have been being made since I was a kid and fairly well known/experienced throughout the intervening years. You'd have to actively work to avoid hiring anybody that had exposure. Hell, there's probably folks involved familiar with the supporting materials -- comics, TV series, etc. That just doesn't mean they had much input, or cared enough to mitigate... that... even if they did.

What part of "It's clearly not Ivo Robotnik" is hard to parse? IMDB is wrong and if the movie makers are claiming otherwise they're heathen liars. Eggman only comes in one shape and that shape is egg. Skinny Robotnik can only be cousin Jim. Maybe it's crazy cousin Jim and he thinks he's his better relative, who knows. The Robotnik line probably isn't the most stable.

It's relatively irrelevant who, if anyone, else does, considering it's straight up bullshit.

I dunno. What if they gave her pants in order to deal with the salaciousness of vest+nothing?

... wait a tick, they've apparently already done that with newer stuff. Burn the world, I say. Burn it all.
