A whole host of "truly bizarre" characters I found in the '93 guidebook.

Man. I think they really had fun creating all those characters during the so-called "Archie Era." Do you guys think it would be cool to see them again?

A perhaps stupid question: do you prefer the classes in Wakfu or Dofus?

As I said, I know full well it's a stupid question. After all, it's the same game world and the classes are the same; the only difference is that one is set 1,000 years later.

But I'm still curious to know whether you prefer a class as it was "originally" or as it is "recently."

Victory! I've had a lot of luck with Kinder Joy!

First attempt: Golden Luffy

Second attempt: Chopper

It couldn't have gone better!

My face after finishing the last episode of the second season.

I have to say... I had a feeling we wouldn't get an episode that ended with "and they lived happily ever after."

But even so, I really feel like strangling someone!

What about you guys—what do you think?

A weak monster with no effects, yet your all-time favorite.

He is adorable. He looks like a very kind and helpful skeleton.

Just look at what I rescued from the trash today.

Today, as usual, I went to throw some paper into the designated bin. But as soon as I opened it, I found a whole lot of books. And not just cheap, trashy ones, these were old books in good condition! Encyclopedias, fiction books, and even dictionaries.

It bothered me to see all those wonderful books being thrown away, so I rescued as many as I could (luckily, the paper and cardboard bins are among the cleanest ones); I donated most of them to the local library. But I kept three books for myself... including this one!

For those who don't speak Italian, "Dizionario" means Dictionary. This children's book, released in 1972, is packed with pages full of words accompanied by beautiful illustrations of Disney characters from that era.

I wanted to include the ones I liked best. It feels like watching Once Upon a Studio, given all these characters from different movies interacting with one another.

Idea for a Disney Villainous board game featuring the TMNT.

Hi there.

I’m a huge fan of TMNT, Disney, and board games. I came up with the idea for this post thanks to the Ravensburger board game *Disney Villainous*.

For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, I’ll keep it brief. *Disney Villainous* is a game where you play as a villain trying to achieve a specific goal (which varies by character—for instance, Prince John needs to amass wealth, Maleficent needs to put the entire kingdom to sleep, etc.). You’re aided by allies and minions, but you’re also hindered by the "good guys" (summoned by your opponents).

So, that’s the game in a nutshell. And I’d love to see something like that for TMNT.

I think this kind of game would work perfectly—not so much based on the animated series (where Shredder’s Foot Clan always dominates), but based on the original comics!

After doing some research, I’ve managed to put together the villain factions. Namely:

  • The Foot Clan: led by Shredder, with Foot Soldiers as minions—including special soldier types and Karai. The objective is simple: kill the TMNT and Splinter (who, naturally, serve as the opposing forces);
  • The Purple Dragons: their goal is to take over the neighborhood, and their main enemy is Casey Jones;
  • Baxter Stockman and his Mousers: the goal is to rob banks. Besides the Turtles, I also see April as an enemy.
  • The Triceraton Empire: their goal is to find Fugitoid in order to destroy the Federation. Naturally, they have more enemies than the TMNT do.
  • Savanti Romero: The goal is to seize the Scepter of Time to conquer the eras and then defeat both Renet and Lord Simultaneous.

I would have liked to reach six, but I couldn't find any other noteworthy groups.

What do you think?

A bizarre proposal... King Leonidas and football teams!!

Strange but true. I discovered that, "bureaucratically speaking," the King of the Beasts of Naboombu is considered an antagonist.

Personally, I’ve never been able to see him that way (after all, he doesn't do anything wrong; he just wants to play soccer, and then he gets robbed of his family heirloom). Sure, he and his team cheat... but so does the opposing team!

Anyway, it would be really original to have a character who wins by scoring a goal!

I can easily picture the gameplay. The goal is to get the ball into the opposing net (moving from left to right across the board), and to do that, he’ll have to contend with the opposing team.

What do you think?

I still hate that we didn't defeat Arpeggio in a boss fight.

As much as I loved the plot twist where Neyla betrays Arpeggio to inhabit Clockwerk's body, I still hate the fact that Arpeggio didn't get a boss fight.

Ever since I first saw it, I had imagined an aerial battle somewhat similar to the one between Bentley and Neyla (images 2 and 3).

Characters introduced as action figures that have not yet played a major role in the animated series.

Many characters were created during the brand's early years. Over the course of more than forty years, they have appeared at least once in the animated series.

However, not all of them had the chance to "shine", and these are the ones:

  • Ace Duck (he had two cameos, in the first animated series and the 2012 series, but never actually appeared);
  • Halfcourt (he only had a cameo in Rise but never actually appeared);
  • Shogun Shoate (the most "complex" one on the list. He appeared in the comics, but his toy version was completely overhauled. That’s why I included him);
  • Doctor El (an elephant witch doctor);
  • Hot Spot (or, as I like to call him, "Marshall from Paw Patrol on steroids" XD);
  • Walkabout (a mutant kangaroo);
  • Monty Moose (a mutant elk);
  • Sandstorm (a mutant camel);
  • Sergeant Bananas (a military mutant monkey);
  • King Lionheart (a mutant lion from the Middle Ages).

I have excluded figures such as:

  • Panda Khan (he is a "guest action figure", being based on a character not created by Laird and Eastman);
  • Hot Head (Kavaxas is clearly inspired by the character);
  • Scale Tail (In the 2012 series, Karai undergoes a snake-like transformation. Additionally, a similar being appears in the *Tales of the TMNT* series);
  • Scratch (technically, he appeared in *Tales of the TMNT*; I say "technically" because the character is a fusion of the action figure and the Old Hob character from the IDW comics).

Who would you like to see? Personally, I think Walkabout has potential.

Rattigan is overrated (as an evil genius).

Let me explain.

As much as I love the movie, I’ve always noted how Rattigan is described as the "Napoleon of Crime"—an evil genius who concocts brilliant schemes. But come to think of it... what does he actually do in the film to prove his genius?

Let’s break down his plan.

He kidnaps a toymaker to build a robotic replica of the Queen, orders his henchman to get soldier costumes so his men can infiltrate the palace, and finally waits for Basil so he can spring a trap.

Okay. Half the plan relies on Olivia’s father. *He* is the genius creating the automaton, not Rattigan.

The costume idea works well enough.

Waiting for Basil? That’s questionable. If he’d been smart, he could have just set off with his men earlier and left his cat behind with Olivia; she would have handled everything.

But no. He had to show off and engineer the most over-the-top mousetrap ever.

Otherwise, I think Rattigan is a great villain (if only thanks to Vincent Price). But I don't consider him a genius; if anything, he’s just a rat cosplaying as an evil genius.

Villains I’d like to see in the future

- Frollo: one of the most requested. I can easily picture his allies and his objective: finding the Court of Miracles and then burning Esmeralda.

- Scrooge McDuck's enemies: I was torn between the Beagle Boys, Magica De Spell, and Flintheart Glomgold. But frankly, I’d find it more interesting to see them all together.

- MCP: the villain from the first *Tron* movie. I envision his objective as absorbing all the programs.

- The Big Bad Wolf: we’ve had Pete; for me, it’s time to include the Wolf, too! The objective is simple: destroy the Three Little Pigs' houses and eat them.

Who would you like, on the other hand?

Unpopular opinion: Tom & Jerry Tales is the duo's best modern animated series.

Of course, the original episodes remain the best. But I find that *T&J Tales* is the modern series that comes closest to the "magnificence" that the cartoons of yesteryear aimed to convey.

Favorite "unknown" monster card (in game or even in the anime)?

Bitelon - For years, this "fake dragon" was my main monster in the deck. With 2400 ATK and 1600 DEF, this monster has the unique feature that when it attacks an opponent's defending monster, it loses the difference! And you know what? I had two!

Which is your favorite?

I had an idea yesterday about a Pokemon that "reverses" evolution.

Yesterday I was watching a video talking about the Mega Evolutions introduced in ZA.

When Drampa was mentioned, with its Mega Evolution that makes it younger, I thought, "It would be interesting to introduce a Pokémon that rejuvenates itself when it evolves."

So I did some research. And there's such an animal in nature... The Immortal Jellyfish!

This animal has the incredible feature that when it takes damage, a part of its body regenerates, rejuvenating itself.

A similar evolution system already exists in Pokémon (Sirfetch'd). So I see potential in a seemingly old Pokémon evolving into a baby. 😂

Sure. The only "problem" would be that we've already had too many Jellyfish Pokémon. Another one wouldn't be "anything new."

What do you think?

Why didn't the turkey go back to normal?

In the film we see that once the Ravencrofts are defeated, the pumpkins and the monstrous tree become inanimate again... the turkey, however, remains as big and scary as a dinosaur!

If Team Rocket hadn't been in Johto, who or what would you have liked to see?

As much as it made sense, and I loved, the return of Team Rocket (as they always say, Gold and Silver were ultimately sequels to Red and Green). Sometimes I found myself thinking, "I wonder who could be a new team?"

Personally, since the story is set in a more "traditionalist Japanese" region, I would have seen an "old-fashioned" Yakuza team, complete with Japanese clothing and samurai generals!

As for the overall evil plan, I think the Team's leader was part of a now-defunct noble family and aimed to capture/control the cover legendary (Crystal is trying to capture the Three Legendary Beasts, and Suicune is the only one who managed to escape, while the other two are his prisoners) to make him the symbol of power.

The Slowpoke Well could have remained for the "let's collect the tails to sell" story.

The Lake of Rage could have been that they forced the evolution of the Magikarp so they could have an army of Gyarados to use against the Legendary Pokémon (it might make sense with Oh-ho. Less so with Lugia. But the Pokémon is still one of the strongest).

The problem would be the final conflict. It would make more sense if the action focused more on the Tin Tower. However, that would make the Whirlpool Islands and Goldenrod Radio Tower unnecessary.

Now tell me. What would you have liked to see?

Beh, dai... Almeno abbiamo avuto delle belle novità annunciate ai Mondiali

Giustamente niente notizie su Vento e Onda (ma era scontata come cosa).

Ma a parte cose come la presenza delle Mega Z di Absol e Lucario in Champions, abbiamo avuto la data di rilascio de "Le avventure di Sirfetch'd e Pichu" e l'annuncio di un film sul gioco di carte "pokemon wildcard"!

Quindi tutto sommato mi sento contento.

Voi cosa vedrete per primo? Io la serie. Sembra troppi adorabile!

If the flashback showing Imu's past ever comes out in the future, would you be able to change your mind about the character?

Let me explain. If Oda were to show a flashback in the future where he reveals a tragic backstory (like Kuma's, for example), would you change your mind about Imu?

Personally, I have low expectations that the head of the world government will have a tragic backstory (at least a betrayed friendship, at the very least) that justifies it.

But even if it were up to me, it would be like what happened with Arlong. That is, the flashback shows but doesn't justify all the harm he inflicted on Nami and the people of her city.

What do you think?
