So I've been thinking about re-attempting what ended in a spectacular failure from Extra Life back in November; the knife-only run of Resident Evil Remake.
And the franchise turns 29 on Saturday.
...And watch WrestleMania live for the very first time next month.
Because John Cena is doing some simply phenomenal heel work.
And while it wouldn't be obvious until later in the season, happy anniversary to one of my all-time favorite OTPs.
So someone took Linkin Park's bestselling, most well-known album, Hybrid Theory, and recreated it using the soundfont from Super Mario 64.
I'm not talking one song. I mean the whole. Damn. Thing.
Why, two weeks with overtime, of course.
I closed last night after a call from my boss at 4:30 yesterday afternoon, for a total of 10 hours of OT for the past two weeks.
Can't wait to see this check on Friday.
It's taking a lot of willpower not to drive an hour north and start drooling over PC parts at the Micro Center.
This week, we've got another leaked animatic, with additional Skyros lore, and... Filler music from Steven Universe. Guess we're at the point where the composer wasn't even finished.
Ugh, just... Tying the life of this series to toy sales in 2024...
Fuck you, Hasbro.

I felt that if they could have actually used Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" it would have been really neat. But knowing the current management they probably would have tried to push more generic "modern kid pop music" cuz who has time for old fogey crap dawg? Gotta keep it real homeslice.
Despite the feeling the two Alicorns were Celestia and Luna there's the idea they were two versions of Sunny.
So, Nightmare Starscout? Midnight Starscout? Starbreaker? Nightmare Star?
Honestly, I didn't much like Tell your Tale when Make your Mark was there to do the heavy storytelling. However, I'm glad they planned to pivot things more towards longer storytelling for Season Two. At least as much as you can in just 5 mins of runtime.
but that's ALWAYS been the point of the show... to sell toys.
Except G4. Flash in the pan and they slept on capitalizing on it until the very end.
If you all take a very closer look at the two Alicorns in the thumbnail and look closer at the mural Sunny was looking at, you can tell that the two Alicorns fighting each other are not Celestia and Luna. Which means they left their old home not other own accord because they couldn't handle the power struggle that was happening. It seems Alicorns are always jealous of one another and end up fighting for Supremacy and Power that ended up destroying their own home
I noticed that there were several shots that were mirror copies of Lullaby for Princess which was a very nice nod to the fandom. I thought the two alicorns were stand in for Luna and Celestia, but didn't wanted the hassle of explaining who they were, and as said before in this treat, they are also power struggled between selflessness and selfishness light and dark and all that jazz. What I liked about it was they they finally got they to explore a bit of Equestria's magic and learn for it, along with a little about the alicorns. And I would note that it's actually the first real magic fight that is actually decent to watch. I wish Hasbro didn't constantly switch hands in the production of the CGI series or at least stick with the 2d or 2.5 series to save on money.
Well, that's apparently what happens when you put a CEO in charge of your company who thinks you're only a toy company and nothing else. It's amazing that the CEO still has a job after all of this.

That whole battle between the Alicorns was basically a love letter to Lullaby for a Princess. It even had the iconic "around the beam" dodge.
5828633
Yup it is
I noticed some Tchaikovsky in there, but usage of placeholder music is standard during the early stages of production; James Horner's score for Aliens was infamously unfinished, and portions of the film ended up using bits of the original film's soundtrack.
But completely agreed on your feelings on Hasbro; reportedly, Chris Cocks has a very low opinion of MLP, but the sheer level of incompetence on show is spectacular. Reportedly Hasbro misplaced a billion dollars last year. In any other business a cockup of that scale would get you fired.

My father works in the financial sector, and I mentioned Hasbro's financial woes to him. He remarked that in his line of work that level of financial mismanagement would get people fired.

ooh I like the name Starbreaker, that could make for a neat fanfic villain name.
As to TYT, some of the episodes HAD SO MUCH potential, and if they had done anything with those episodes, like how IDW sometimes did a part 1, part 2, part 3 to cover a longer story. Or even just making periodic nods to previous episodes like "hey, Sunny, I like this photograph, is it new?"
There was also LOTR music in this for filler.
But very much agreed. Fuck you Hasbro.
I know this is such a huge slap in the face this would have been a good one to see finish it wasn't for Hasbro canceling the whole thing so thanks a lot Hasbro

What the hell happened that caused them to lose a billion dollars?

Well they still paid for all the voicework for these episodes they haven't released. The recording studio, the editors putting the voicework together. Then before that there's the writing, storyboarding, the list goes on.
It’s now a double Fuck You Hasbro in this case. There were COMPLETED MYM scripts. All it needed was production.

Wondering if we'll ever get leaks of those episodes.
5829121
don’t know. it’d be scripts only but still, it would be nice to see them. Just to see where they would have taken it.

Well, sort of. It depends on which you focus getting your profit on. If the show is the bigger moneymaker, then logically it'd make sense to focus on the show and make the toys to help further sell the show, something Hasbro HAS done in the past. That was clearly what happened with G4, at least.
Don't know enough specifics on G5's total financial situation to say which way it fell, but it still feels like Hasbro dropped it more just because it didn't want to bother with show making in general anymore, not so much just because the toys weren't selling, or so has been the overall vibe I've gotten from the whole affair.
Otherwise I think Hasbro would've at least seen production through a few more episodes of TYT and fulfilled the commitments they'd clearly already made there so to try and make back some of the money they'd already spent making those commitments. But I won't pretend to understand how the brains of the corporate officials work.
