While we're on Sonic, I remember that Sonic SatAM cartoon being good.

I liked the 1994 Street Fighter movie as well, even though a lot of people don't. It's incredibly entertaining in that cheesy 90s action kind of way and Raul Julia as M. Bison was genuinely awesome. Still, the rest of it is corny but you got Jean Claude Van Damme as Guile and fucking Dave Coulier as Ken, how can you even have high expectations? It's probably my go to movie when I think of "video games in other mediums".

Sonic Boom is a genuinely funny cartoon.

Why do so many people heap shit on it?

Is it because it's not "super serious dark storyline romance SatAM tier robotnik is scary"?

For what it is, a lighthearted comedy cartoon, it's pretty good.

>Why do so many people heap shit on it?
they do?
I've only ever seen praise for its humor, though I don't watch the show myself.

People shit on the game, which is genuinely terrible

pokemon mangas are comfy as fuck

Ive really only seen good things about the Boom cartoon. even in /sthg/.

> Dave Coulier as Ken
wut no he wasn't

definitely not that shit.

nigga, how old are you?

Sonic Boom isn't an adaptation, it's an original thing with existing characters tacked on for recognizability.

whoops, one too many

Only one of the Halo books has ever been an actual adaption of any of the games, but the Halo books are actually really good, and they haven't dipped in quality on average since 343 took over, unlike the games

Sonic Boom game was so bad it pretty much dragged the entire series to the dirt with it.

Man I stopped following the Halo novels after Cole Protocol, but I've never even heard of those Greg Bear books.

They any good?

sonichu

They are extremely polarizing, since they reveal a fuck ton about the forerunners and origin of the flood, and, since they take place during forerunner times and involve their technology, is less hard military sci fi and is a bit less grounded as a result.

I think they are the best written halo novels by a huge margin though.

is that because they got an actual sci-fi writer to do them?

is it like hard sci-fi?

To go into more detail now that the thread isn't about to 404:

I think greg does an amazing job at making forerunner technology actually feel advanced and not just like typical far future sci fi tech. Rather then just being technology that's analopgus to modern concepts but better, he goes into an absurd amount of detail (most of the first novel is just worldbuilding, which is why, at least IMO, it still counts as being in line with the firmish sci fi of the other books) describing aspects of their technology and what impact it has on the soecity, and most of it is so esoteric and out there, it feels like you are actuallt reading about shit that we'd wouldn't even be able to imagine devolping.

Also, without spoiling it, while the first novel starts out mundane, as you read through the triology more and more horror elements seep in untill by the third book it's just outright more cosmic horror then sci fi. But the first two books can get pretty dense and dull at times.

Because humanity being the most powerful spacefaring race in the galaxy during the Forerunner era and only losing the war due to fighting the flood wasn't the dumbest idea ever

see
It's less hard sci fi in that forerunner techology, being so advanced, is less justifable as existing, but it's arguably more hard sci fi then the other halo novels in that the amount of detail how they work and how they are used and how it impacts forerunner society is way beyond what you get in the other halo books

Protomen

It works in context, the problem is just everything in the forerunner novels sounds stupid and dumb out of context.

Mario World and Mario Land 2's short-lived manga were god-tier

Archie Sonic had a golden era which has sadly ended by now

That's it, sadly. most are pure concentrated shit, like the Monster hunter manga.

...

Didn't they kill off the ODST Rookie in one of the new books?

I have to see this, post moar pls.

There's like 3 of them (one of dkc, dkc2 and dkl)

After watching the Street Fighter movie, I still don't know why its hated. It did pretty well with having so many characters. Its was fun.

>go for snow cone?
>:O
>:c

do they ever bring up some joke about that retarded pause jump buffer with knuckles?

I feel like they made Sonic in Sonic Boom super chill, he really doesn't care about anything and doesn't get excited about anything either. He just goes with the flow.

Big difference from "SONICS THE NAME!! SPEEDS MY GAME!" and "PREPARE YOURSELF DR.EGGMAN!" Now he's all like "Let's get chill dogs, smoke weed, and watch movies."

Yes.

I don't think it's as big a deal as people make it out to be though. It's not like he was being used for anything anyways, it allowed him to have a reason to show up one last time; and it doesn't close off any story threads that shouldn't have been or anything.

Plus, it saves him from being an S4.

I HAD THIS.

It was ok.

This movie was good.
Sure, it is a very rushed Bayonetta but for the most part it was good.

Because it's >Sonic Boom. The games were terrible. Besides the name, the character design and Knuckles' intelligence the cartoon has nothing to do with the games but that won't stop people from dismissing it immediately.

I unironically enjoyed the Mortal Kombat movie

youtube.com/watch?v=EAwWPadFsOA

Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter movies at least accepted that they are just movies based on games so they went crazy with it. Movie adaptations take themselves too seriously now.

>I still don't know why its hated.
It was a mixed bag; we expected a few more hadoukens, yoga fires and sonic booms but we got a flash kick and a faux hadouken. Sagat wasnt imposing, Blanka was Charlie, Zangief was spot on, Chun-Li was accurate i think, Bison was okay but used electromagnetic power instead of psycho power.

Ayway whatever bad taste ihad left was washed away by the anime movie that came out around the same time.

huh you actually make me want to read them. thanks.

People hate the games, not the cartoon which is genuinely funny even for adults.

>genuinely funny even for adults.

yeah no

Disagreed with you there sadly. Read and enjoyed everything up to Cole Protocol and skipped to Glasslands since it was penned as a sequel to Ghosts of Onyx. I had to drop it, the writing was so subpar, and everything felt really forced, which I suppose was because they needed some sort of reason for fighting the Covenant again in Halo 4.

Same with the Forerunner novels. They just absolutely destroyed any mystery or intrigue the Forerunners ever had, but even then they wrote it in such a vague and pretentious way it was impossible for me to take any interest in it. The revelations from the novel just frustrated me more than anything.

Ironically the one book that described the events of a game was arguably the poorest. Fall of Reach and Ghosts of Onyx are still top tier.

I liked the DoA movie
The Resident Evil movies are alright - terrible adaptations, but decent popcorn flicks
first Silent Hill movie is boss

I watched a few episodes. It's very borderline because the presentation just comes across as flat, flatter than Blaze.

I remember checking out the first 3 and contact harvest at my library. I expected shit but I thought they were every good.

Fall of reach tho after reading it years before they even announced Halo reach got my hyped and then immediately disappointed by the games version of the story.

The edgy/dark original sonic cartoon.

It was basically a cartoon in the first place.
