There's actually kind of a clever idea in that the aliens would take the games as a declaration of war or violence. One of the most common criticisms of video games is their depiction and glamorization of violence. The moral of the story and ultimate climax could have been humans getting the aliens to understand their true meaning and message, by getting the aliens to play the games themselves and having fun with them. Wouldn't that be a great way to end a film like this, something uplifting and heartwarming? Or it could end with Qbert babies, I guess. Sure.

The Lady Lisa character is very reminiscent of the NES game Athena, considered one of the 20 worst games ever released on the NES. Athena is unique in that it was not only the first licensed game to feature nudity on the cover and in the game, but also featured the first flying power up in a game, which was quickly copied into Super Mario 3, and has since become a staple of Mario games. Many earlier games had flying main characters, but those characters always fly as a base ability, and those games were coded around that style of gameplay. The reason such a power up hadn't been done at the time is that its completely game breaking, as most enemies are ground based, and easily bypassed with the power up, and a new gameplay style requires a lot of additional coding work, for something that is not a core feature of the game, and the player might not even use. The image of the Lady Lisa game in the movie is very similar to the title screen of Athena, as that game also features a pixilated close up of the main character winking at the player.
@GoddoDoggo Жыл бұрын
Additionally, the character of Athena in the original Japanese version of the NES game sported a red bikini, a spiked backpack, and blue hair. Athena's trademark blue hair is why the working title of the game during its development was Blue Harvest, which incidentally was also the working title for Star Wars Episode 6: Return of the Jedi.

One thing I learned from this upload? The release dates for video games, in Australia, seems to be 5-7 years behind the ones in North America. So, if you can get past the flora and fauna that all want to kill you and sidestep the vegimite, you still stand to get flattened by this. Damn! The Land Down Under’s metal AF.

So fun story: I actually knew someone who hated modern games because to him they were all “too easy” and he said “back when I was a kid games were actually challenging”. We never saw the eye to eye because I always said games like the assassins creed and god of war games can be challenging but he said that they are way too simple (no it was not a bit he did)
@brokefangmagepunk3685 Жыл бұрын
He does have a point. While modern games are technically more challenging with modern controllers(the amount of buttons, learning combos and systems of play) older games were more challenging with limited lives, no checkpoints, very limited saves(or no saves) games like contra, ghost n goblins, or even the original Mario games are more challenging than God of War or other modern games that essentially have infinite lives and no game overs. You can brute force your way through modern games(die at the boss? Just start over right at the boss fight) without players having to become almost experts in game play and enemy patterns. Old games you manage to make it to the last boss and you die then restart that whole level, get a gameover and you have to restart the whole game. To get through old games you basically had to have a modern speed runners mindset of learning attack patterns, optimal routes/strategies, different rng stuff as lots of games didn't always have the enemies pop in at the same time every time, and if the game gave you a password to get back to a certain level it was left to the player to write it down it wasn't automatic. Alot of Modern gamers would flip their shit if modern games were like that, imagine the arkham games were the I am the knight mode was the only mode, you die and restart the game or even a soul reaver where you die and while your progress isn't technically lost you restart at the beginning of the game. Tldr: modern games are technically more challenging, retro games were challenging in a completely different way

Here's a bit of Green Trivia: One year after this movie, the Kamen Rider Heisei Generations movie was released, which also had a scene in which the heroes fight an evil live-action Pac Man. The main difference being that Pac Man is actually part of the main plot and not just one scene, and that movie is actually really good

I know this movie gets trashed a lot….. and I mean a lot 😂 But it’s honestly one of the few movies I can sit with my younger cousin and enjoy. He’s autistic and I used to watch him quite a bit. Besides building Legos and talking about Superheroes, this movie would make him laugh and smile. He just absolutely loves it. I do understand why people would hate on it…. But I can sit there and watch it, without being angry 😆 So that’s a positive haha. I only discovered this channel about a year ago and really love what you guys do. Pretty sure I’ve laughed during every video. The quick wit is 🔥 and my only complaint is that I wish the vids were longer. That’s not really a complaint, I just enjoy your guy’s content 😊 Take care.

??? Wasn't Steven's arc that he fell in love with his childhood best friend Connie who is a human and he is also part human and part gem/alien, and she eventually started seeing him romantically as well? And wasn't Josh Gad's romantic arc that he fucked a made-up video game character because he thought she was hot and they had Q*Bert babies? I mean, I guess the childhood crush aspect is the closest connection I can think of, unless the point is that Josh Gad kind of looks like a grown-up version of Steven Universe??? I'm honestly lost here.
