If Exeggutor came back, would he get to keep the heads he stole in his previous game? I remember he got Broly, Shadow and Cloud's heads, though there might have been more. If so, I'll vote Exeggutor.

Since I'm late, these aren't going to count, but I'll share some of my favourites anyway, in no particular order. Luckily, a lot of the characters I would have nominated got in already, so I'll just mention the not-so-lucky ones.

MVP Banshee
Hades
The Balloon
Richard Nixon
The Paradox Brothers
King Rameses
Dante Azurill
Captain Ginyu

My top three characters I nominated would be Quan Chi, the Disgruntled Rubber Duck and Weevil.

Someone after me has nominated Penance as well so I'll change my Penance nomination to Jak (Jak and Daxter).

Jak wasn't edgy at all in the first game, but come the sequel he hit puberty, and started growing an obnoxious goatee, swearing like a sailor, copying Grand Theft Auto and generally being a bit of a tool. I considered nominating the Prince of Persia at first, but I changed my mind because when he became an edgelord, he was just going through a phase and went back to normal after one game, whereas the new edgy Jak stuck, albeit toned down slightly after Jak 2 went overboard.

Everyone was rooting for Chi Chi to win the final two in the last game, and she lost, so I'm going to root for Seung Mina to try and prevent the Chi Chi Curse from striking down Haggar.

Goku Black (Dragonball Super)
Penance (Marvel Comics)

I'll admit early on I was worried that putting Fred Durst in as a joke character would wear thin, but I'm very happy to have been proven wrong.

I'm still here

I think this is due to the age of instant gratification and social media we're in now. We all want to be noticed and because there are so many other voices to compete against, being noticed is harder than ever. Therefore, if we make our views as broad and populist as possible, we'll be noticed. Having an unpopular or controversial opinion in this kind of landscape is often akin to making yourself a social pariah, so you have to be very careful about where you say something challenging, and to whom. It's most potent on Twitter. Thanks to the 140 character limit, there's no space to be insightful or start a substantial discussion, so sweeping statements and crowd-pleasing win the day.

I also heard somewhere that feeling intense emotions, such as anger, gives you a dopamine boost (I'm afraid I don't remeber where, or I would find it here.) Because of this, it's not inconceivable that some people might have gotten addicted to anger, and look for things to be outraged by so that they can get their next hit.

Speaking about academia, I remember when I was in University about 6 or 7 years ago now, I was doing film studies for one of my modules. One of the assignments was to make a group presentation on vampires in film, and the group was in discussed the portrayal of vampires in film, and how that has in turn resulted in particularly influential movie vampires influencing vampire mythology to some degree. The presentations were graded by two lectures. One of them loved it and said my group had the best presentation in the class because he thought we took an interesting approach and went outside the box (We had worked in that Spongebob clip of Nosferatu playing with the lights as an example of how widespread and recognisable that Nosferatu had become he could show up in as unexpected a context as that). By contrast, the other lecturer hated it and thought my group had the worst presentation because we didn't go with a more traditional approach, and on our feedback she asked why we hadn't considered vampires as an allegory for race, gender or sexuality, which is what several of the other groups had done. Blade (which we had not mentioned in the presentation) was cited specifically for black vampires. I'll admit I hadn't thought of Blade being black as a significant detail, so I'm not sure sure if this is a case of me not thinking deeply enough, or the trend OP mentioned of their English Lit thinking that the the author being black is the only important thing about them.

If I were to critically analyse Blade, I wouldn't have considered race and would have suggested that the vampires are portrayed in different ways in the first two films. In the first one, they're presented in a hedonistic sexualised sense in the club, with how they drink blood for pleasure more than nourishment, while in the second I'd suggest it's comparable to addiction as the new vampires are designed as more malnourished than the older ones, and they're more scrappy in their mannerisms. In case you're wondering about the assignment, my group got a low pass grade because the top marks from the first lecturer and the terrible marks from the second lecturer cancelled each other out.

Tears of Life - Pokemon: The First Movie


Toon World - Yugioh


Ka Ka Kachi Daze - Dragonball Super


Awaken (Pillar Men Theme) - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure


Guren no Yumiya / Linked Horizon - Attack on Titan


If the Pokemon and Yugioh ones aren't allowed because they're from the dubs, I'll replace them with something else.

Woah is the only one of those options I've seen so I vote for that. Overall, I'd have to go with the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise or Ultra Instinct Shaggy

"I like your raincoat!"
"Captain Cavemaaaaan!"

Laura
Ashi
Jack
Vulture

Oops, missed yesterday's vote. Although Ariana Grande lost, at least the outcome would not have changed had I been here. Today's votes for me:

-
Dice
-
Vulture
Cuphead

Rooting for Lu Bu now, although I have a gut feeling he'll bite it in the arena event.

Days of Old is the first song that I've downloaded after hearing it for the first time in this topic.

Pennywise (It) (Surprised he hadn't been nominated yet)
Angriest Boy in the World (Legion)
Lucky Chloe (Tekken 7)
Infinite the Edgehog (Sonic Forces)

Anyone posting clips after season 8 gtfo of my topic

I posted one clip from Season 4 and one from Season 9. Should I stand in the doorway with one foot out of the door?

Welcome back to the stage of history!

Found this, sounds fun so I'll join in with some noms.

Ibuki's Theme - Street Fighter 5


Musique pour la Tristesse de Xion (Xion's Theme) - Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days


Theme of MODOK - Marvel VS Capcom 3


It has to be this way - Metal Gear Rising

(This plays during the final phase of the battle against Senator Armstrong. Not sure if it counts, but It's worth a shot.)

Team Skull Leader Guzma Battle - Pokemon Sun and Moon

I'll throw in a vote for Eastern Europe's favourite cat and mouse team, Worker and Parasite.



The return of the Soviet Union is another great bit.

There were people saying around the time Brave came out that Pixar is a boy's club, so this isn't terribly surprising bearing that in mind.

Also, why is Wreck It Ralph 2 called Ralph Breaks the Internet, and not Ralph Wrecks the Internet? Ralph wrecks things, he doesn't break them. If he broke things, he'd be called Break It Ralph!

My favourite Mr Men character is Mr Bump

RIP Big Band. Now who's going to provide a smooth jazz accompaniment? We can only hope Fred Durst gets off the sauce long enough to get some frat rock going in the meantime.

Is the bloodbath for the Hunger Games or Subway?

Now, fight your rival!

This Hunger Games is now sponsored by Subway. I wonder what sandwiches the tributes enjoy?

Rooting for, in no particular order, Dan, Captain Ginyu, Mike Haggar, B.B. Hood and Gilgamesh. I agree there are lots of great fun tributes here.

Hoping for Lilli vs Karin, and/or Captain Ginyu body swap shenanigans.

My second nomination was going to be Dan, but he's already been nominated by ZeeksFire. Luckily, I came prepared with backup nominations! After a tough time trying to choose between Shrek (Shrek Super Slam) or Bill Clinton (Ready 2 Rumble Round 2), I eventually chose to go with a character more closely tied to the Fighting Game Community. That, and I couldn't find any decent ingame pictures of Bill Clinton, while Shrek could be nominated with another theme.

My second nomination is Dat Mango Sentinel (Marvel VS Capcom)

Voldo (Soul Calibur)

Casting another vote for Chi Chi. On this evidence, things could get awkward if she loses...

It's a good thing that even if Chi-Chi doesn't win, she's guaranteed a return appearance in the second place finisher game.

Bumpity Bomb

Talk about a fate worse than death! Luckily King is merciful.

I'm going to guess Yhwach or Hitomi win.

Is the killer rabbit the one from Blood C? If so, that was a great way to use it!

Was the death setting reduced from high at the start, or does the death setting only apply to events? The ending sentence of this chapter implies that something big will go down next time, either the arena event or the feast.

If Antagonist keeps this up but doesn't win, he might be in with a shot at one of the fan-favourite slots in the All-Stars game.

Hopefully King will get to go on a tear again later.

I also vote Mascots.
