I had this thought when seeing the promotional material for the new Street Fighter movie. I don't think it'll be the best movie ever, but I think it'll be fun and I'm excited to see it. One thing I've noticed is that the ENTIRE promotional run seems carried by Callina Liang (the actress for Chun Li.) Outside of advertisements her posting a picture of her in costume and going viral for it seems to be driving a lot of the hype behind the movie. I'm curious if there are any other cases recently where sex appeal seems to be the driving force for a movie's hype? Obviously I'm not trying to say this is the ONLY reason for the movie getting any hype, but I do think it's a huge factor in the promotion of the film.

I understand that whenever the person in my family has delusions about me it isn't my fault, but I can't help but feel like I could be doing more to maybe quell these feelings in some way? It might be hopeful thinking, but I still feel guilty that I am often the subject of their delusions. None of the awful things they think I do are true, but it feels like I have watched a person I was once relatively close to learn to hate me. I understand that it's not really my fault, but it still feels like it is for a person to change so drastically towards me.

Former AMC employee here, I worked at AMC for a good chunk of time and recently applied to Regal. I'm wondering if there are any employees here who have worked for both companies and could let me know if there is really any difference between the two? I'm assuming the work will be much of the same, but does Regal get as busy as AMC? Please let me know of any differences you guys know of!

What I mean is, which runs were SO good that you know nothing after it will really compare. For me, this is DeMatteis' Spectacular Spider-Man run. It genuinely just feels completely unparalleled compared to every other Spider-Man run. The level of depth that he dives into with Peter feels unprecedented. Immortal Hulk is a similar situation, where I doubt that any future run will live up to what Ewing did for the character. The only run I have above it for Hulk is Peter David's run. I just don't think it's possible for a future writer to do something better than Immortal.

This is rarely shown, and the only story I’ve read to focus on this is Tempest Fugit. Peter David is the gold standard and shows us a lot of times Bruce would experience trouble with his DID before the gamma bomb. Ewing’s run also has a few explanations for it, but I feel like nothing outside of Tempest Fugit really explores this. Please correct me if I’m wrong, because I’d love to read more stories about this.

Currently have 30 champs left on my journey to getting first with every champ, and the Yuumi game feels impossible to get. She is banned in basically EVERY lobby. Is there any sort of way to circumvent bans aside from like queueing with 17 other people and telling them not to ban it? Bans do take champions out of the bravery pool right, so that wouldn't work?

I tried it first augment for the first time today... and it felt awful. it doesn't have the chroma flux benefit of being autocast, there's basically no synergy with it. I think it's interesting how its supposed to support a variety of builds, like having an increased missing HP healing route, and the damage route supporting high stats, but they both feel underwhelming? Is there a way to make this work aside from clear like anvil godroll run where you have a ton of stats. and your spellcraft can actually one shot.

Curious to hear what you guys think. I think they’re both not great runs for the character and do a lot of damage to all of the development that took place in Immortal. I think the thing that puts Cates’ run above PKJ’s is the fact that it was at least FUN. It was very admittedly ridiculous and they embraced that. Did I hate Bruce locking Hulk away after Immortal? Yes. Did I dislike a lot of the choices the run took character wise? Yes. Did I also laugh reading it and occasionally have fun? Yes. They also undo basically everything in their run by the end of it. With PKJ’s run I feel like the only thing it has going for it is Nic Klein’s art, which is amazing. Outside of that it just feels like it’s trying way too hard and not succeeding. You introduce a giant cosmic threat to the Marvel universe, and it still feels way less entertaining than Hulk playing volleyball with giant rocks. From a story perspective there just hasn’t really been much enjoyable about PKJ’s run at all. It doesn’t have the fun that starship Hulk had.

Genuinely curious. I don't mind Bravery Arena at all, and think it's quite fun, but as someone trying to get first on every champ it feels so inconvenient. Was there not a big enough playerbase to make original Arena and Bravery Arena separate? At that point what's the point of keeping Bravery Arena around if it doesn't have a dedicated playerbase? Why just remove the original mode completely on certain days and vice versa? Has Riot talked about this at all?

Type 1 diabetic here, I’m wondering what experiences anyone who also has type 1 and uses marijuana has had blood sugar wise? I’ve noticed it seems to drop my blood sugar and I’ve tried doing some research on it, but would like to hear other people’s experiences.

Curious to hear your thoughts. I see a lot of arguments for this being Daredevil, and I can't disagree. He has consistently had critically acclaimed runs for decades straight. I'm sure any Daredevil fans have runs they don't like as much as others, but I have not heard someone call a Daredevil run bad. Constantine is another character that I almost never hear complaints about writing wise. Are there any other characters who come to mind?

Yes SF6 has stupid and annoying characters and mechanics that can be frustrating. Yes throw loops are awful, but I don't think ANY of the people who complain about SF6 realize how good they have it. There is nothing in SF6 that even COMPARES to a character like Yun in 3rd strike. There is nothing as ridiculous as a 3rd Strike 2 frame super in SF6. There is nothing in SF6 as awful as Abigail was in SF5. I'm not as familiar with 4, but I'm confident that game probably had characters annoying as Sagat and Mai are. I genuinely think that all the complaints about SF6 are so incredibly exacerbated because people don't realize how truly unfair feeling a Street Fighter game can be. I think all the games are great, but every single Street Fighter has things that are annoying or frustrating.

Even if you're marking the post as a spoiler, posting an ominous or straight up spoiler title is insane. Use the megathread? The movie officially comes out TOMORROW? A large majority of the subreddit hasn't seen it. I understand everyone is eager to talk about it, but it's insane and disrespectful to post ominous spoilery captions or straight up spoilers about the movie.

I’ve tried everything. I’m on my journey to get first on every champ, and cannot for the life of me get my warwick win. They’ve just buffed him, but it doesn’t feel like much of a difference. I’ve tried on hit warwick, tank warwick, stat anvil warwick. Plz help.

I've read almost all of DaMatteis' Spectacular Spider-Man run, and it feels unparalleled in its quality. The drama, the exploration of the characters, the art as well, it's all incredible. Is there another Spider-Man run that hits those same notes? Another run that gets as dark and meaningful as his does?

SPOILERS FOR IMMORTAL HULK BELOW. BE WARNED!

Samuel Sterns gets a lot of interesting development in Immortal, and I genuinely think there’s enough material for a solo comic. We could see him turning back into the Leader, and see that conflict exploded inside of him. I think it’d be super interesting to explore Samuel’s dynamic with his smarter side, and flesh it out as much as Bruce and Hulk’s dynamic. Only like a few issues would be necessary as well, but I doubt it’d ever happen. He’s probably not popular enough for it.

I've been interested in picking up KOF 15. The only KOF I've played before is 2002, which I enjoy a lot. Despite my enjoyment, I'm not great at it. A big part of the reason is the execution barrier for things like max mode cancel combos in KOF 2002. Is KOF 15 significantly easier than KOF 2002?
