Nintendo’s treatment of that Smash Bros. tournament is reminding me of the time they tried to come after me, when I was making my Mario fan comic back in the day
I probably showed up on their radar because I had “mariocomics.com” as my domain

Long story short, they tried to spook me and I literally said “There are no ads on the site and I’m not selling anything. I ain’t doin anything wrong”

They backed off after that
The entire comic was moved to SNAFU, by the way, for everyone who’s asking if they can still read it: snafu-comics.com/swmseries/nsma…
Here’s a new mega-thread of the ENTIRE comic, for anyone who’s interested

my ideal Mario comic would:

> focus primarily on Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Peach (like SMB2 and Super Show)

> have Peach be a strong, badass ruler of her kingdom

> focus on Bowser as a single parent

> have a huge variety of different Toads, like the early Paper Mario games ImageImageImageImage
tonally, these are what I’d draw inspiration from

Mario is about comedy, action, and adventure, within a massive, charming, and slightly surreal world ImageImageImageImage
it’d basically be about two plumbers who, after kinda stumbling into heroism and accidentally saving the princess one time, become her appointed bodyguards and travel all around the world with her on official royal business

Disney’s making a mobile game called Mirrorverse, starring alternate universe versions of their characters with badass redesigns, and I can’t believe this is real

SULLEY’S WEARING FUCKING POWER ARMOR
Like, NO ONE is talking about this game (probably cause it’s for mobile), and it looks fucking awesome

It’s an action RPG and it looks like it’s Kingdom Hearts and Disney Infinity slammed together
LOOK AT THESE REDESIGNS! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

With the Mario & Luigi series basically dead, and the Paper Mario games being what they are now, I think it’s time for a new Mario RPG series

Let Atlus take a crack at it or something
I’ve said this before, but the whole appeal of Mario having RPGs, at least to me, was that they did tons of worldbuilding and told stories that couldn’t really be told in other Mario games

Call me nuts, but I actually really like Mario lore
Goombas, Koopas, and other enemies being actual PEOPLE, with unique appearances and motivations, was just always super cool to me. Giving structure, purpose, and meaning to Mario’s bizarre and surreal world is really fun and intriguing

To celebrate Sonic’s 29th birthday, I’m going to unveil a fun personal project of mine that I’ve been working on during quarantine: a pitch deck detailing my vision for an ideal Sonic cartoon!

Big thread incoming! (1/17)
My goal, with this proposal, was to create a Sonic cartoon that drew bits from all of my favorite past versions of Sonic and synthesized them into one streamlined continuity. Small nods to SatAM and the Archie/Fleetway/IDW comics, but with a SEGASonic focus and vibe. (2/17)
The Characters!

I’ve always liked the concept of the Freedom Fighters, but wanted the team to focus more on the actual game characters this time around (sorry Sally, Bunnie, and Antoine)
