#the fact u care so much about this nintendo movie is the whole reason this business is relevant to begin with stop feeding it

[choccymilk]

nobody actually cares that chris pratt isnt italian while voicing mario, that part is all memes. ppl care that chris pratt is alt right and supports an openly homophobic church but nobody in hollywood cares enough to not give him major roles in cinema, let alone voice acting roles that properly trained voice actors could do a million times better

but hes a big name so they'll use him anyway

Yes they do. The jokes r about italian stuff bc…. That is the main reason (at least for most). It doesn’t mean theyre like super srs and raging over it but even as a super popular memey complaint (which is somewhat valid) its still hypocritical and kinda reads ignorant of.. the entire history of Mario and Nintendo in the West

Also yeah I saw that 1 post too and I think its hilarious. Btw “supports” just means he.. goes to that church? So wait Chris Pratt’s crimes are that he’s a Christian, a Republican, and goes to a Church that has been claimed to be homophobic….. okay so he is a normal guy in America ok. Cool. Why are we caring rn ??? Look idc about this enough to look into it and see to what extent he is actually bigoted or hateful (and I don’t think you or the majority of tumblr actually do either, beyond just getting the bare amt of evidence needed to form ur narrative against him bc u need something new to feel self-righteous about) but I dont rly care if he is either bc um…. Wow a bigot in hollywood? Shocking. 🙄

I’m bored of this non-issue and yeah this is still laughable whether it’s about him being a Scawy Cwistian Repubwican Ooooooo, or just.. not fit for the part bc he’s a generic white american without any qualifications to play an italian role, I’ll take it at face value that either way yeah he’s probably not right for the role/not a great guy but like… I also am not convinced many ppl r ? and the whole like idea that everyone needs to be a saint to do a NINTENDO movie is so funny to me

It just reads rly tone deaf

The ones that suffer the most

I wanted to talk about this for a long time.

I’m a Resident evil addicted, I finished almost every RE game released and I must say that Capcom made some poor choices regarding Jill and Chris, they are EASILY the most mistreated characters in RE Franchise. 

But let’s explain why is that: 

Jill and Chris are survivors, they had to survive in a mansion with a lot of puzzles and zombies, while looking for items that could help them to progress and find a way to reach Brad. 

When they arrive at STARS Office, they are revolted that Umbrella did all that under their noses and innocents were dying because of that and they explained EVERYTHING in a report - but Irons made that go away. 

In the ORIGINAL RE3 we had this special file (Jill’s Diary) 

August 7th Two weeks have passed since that day. My wounds have been healed, but I just can't forget it. For most people, it's history now. But for me, whenever I close my eyes, it all comes back clearly. Zombies eating people's flesh and the screams of my teammates dying. No, the wounds in my heart are not healed yet...

August 13th Chris has been causing a lot of trouble recently. What's with him? He seldom talks to the other police members and is constantly irritated. The other day, he punched Elran of the Boy's Crime department just for accidentally splashing Chris's face with coffee. I immediately stopped Chris, but when he saw me he just gave me a wink and walked away. I wonder what happened to him...

August 15th Midnight. Chris, who has been on a leave of absence for a "vacation," called me so I visited his apartment. As soon as I walked into his room, he showed me a couple of pieces of paper. They were part of a virus research report entitled as simply as "G". Then Chris told me that, "The nightmare still continues." He went on to say that, "It's not over yet." Ever since that day, he has been fighting all by himself without rest, without even telling me.

August 24th Chris left the town today to go to Europe. Barry told me that he would send his family to Canada and then he would follow Chris. I decided to remain in Raccoon City for a while because I know that the research facility in this city will be very important to this entire case. In a month or so, I'll be joining with them somewhere in Europe. That's when my real battle begins...

For some weird reason this file isn’t available in RE3 Remake. 

But ok, here we see that Chris was doing some investigation - in the RE2RMK  you could see this letter that Chris left in a way that normal people wouldn't understand - the only thing that Claire says is that “doesnt look like him” but how normies would understand what Chris is like is he is not well represented in media ??????????????????

And Jill had all the detective work in her wall. 

So far so good - we understand the basics about them - they are Special police force, the elite, they had a traumatic experience and they survived to tell the story. 

Some problems until now:

Jill had a MAJOR personality change in RE3 RMK- I honestly like most of that, she is a badass in the originals and she is a badass in the rmk but I still dislike the fact that she swears all the time (specially because in RE1, RE Rev, RE5 she doesn't do that) 

We can tell a lot about her personality just looking at her room, but I still miss some stuff (I had expectations - so this is not a real problem. but still) like a Vinyl player (since she is probably into classical music), some letters from her father so new players can understand her origin and why is she so good in lockpicking and more about her dog (she had a pic in the original that could’ve been her boyfriend but it was replaced by a dog in RE2 rmk but in RE3 Rmk there in no dog) 

Okay - after you finish the game the only thing we see is this: 

In my opinion this is Chris since he is always associated with Green colors while Jill is associated with blue. 

So my speculation here is that she found him while in the original we had this: 

This is not a major chance but still is important (lore of course - duh) but the problem here is that while Jill is looking for him - Code Veronica is happening. 

So I can only assume two things, they did not show him because they DON’T HAVE A FACE FOR HIM or I am wrong and that is Jill, but if that is Jill so why there is no decent epilogue like the original ? 

Okay, now we are arriving in the real trouble area

I will do RE5 first and the Wii and Rev1 (even tho those two comes first in the lore) 

RESIDENT EVIL 5 

So before the game was release we had some propaganda, including this: 

So have in mind that Jill was dead, I thought that she died and RE5 would explain that shit. 

But in the beginning we see that Chris is looking for her and have in mind that Chris HAD A MAJOR CHANCE IN HIS APPEARANCE, and I’m not talking about his muscles. 

I will not address Chris in CV since he was good in that game but I the team that made CV also made the original, it had CONSISTENCE. 

Here we have Chris, he’s THE classical american soldier protagonist from Hollywood in the 80′s/90′s and he had some omage to TOPGUN

He also shares some traits with his sister

A major trait here is that HE HAS BLUE EYES, typical good looking soldier from US. 

and now let’s have a look at Chris in RE5...

Yeah... I still hate this face even tho I love his Character in this game, this ugly a** monkey looking mf and he had a lot of steroids

So we have some lore to him in RE5, Jill and Chris went to a mansion looking for Spencer (one of the fathers of Umbrella and the one that was behind project Wesker, he wanted to do this Virus so he could live forever, so RE has a good lore, it’s not just about zombies) but when they found him, he was dead and Wesker was by his side, in a fight Jill sacrificed herself to save Chris’s life. 

Chris started doing mission after mission because her body was never found, and he made a name for himself, he became a ‘legend’ inside BSAA and you can see that in the beginning of RE5.

The reason behind the muscles was probably to fight Wesker mano to mano but still is not well made, it really felt weird playing for the first time. 

So now we have a problem here, there is thing that you use in a narrative that is to make someone strong af powerless, and they did that to Jill. (a good example of this is in TWD- Ricky is a fucking legend and Negan made him powerless in the face of a event) 

Jill was used in a Boss fight and that is it... She is not in the game as a character, she is being manipulated and her whole design was changed, she looks like Nina from Tekken. WTF. - BTW, the fact that Wesker had mind control over her created 1000 fics of sex 

 So that is it, my main problem here isnt Jill itself, but it’s the fact that they used her character as a boss even tho she is the heroine, she never appears in RE lore again until some guy inside Capcom said “Well people are asking about Jill so let’s place a file in Rev2 saying that she is in rehab” 

The only time that she appears again is in a 3DS NINTENDO ONLY game, it felt that Capcom simply don’t care about her character. 

By the way Revelations 1 is a great game and was adaptable some years later for PC and consoles

But you think that this is bad, wait until we arrive at RESIDENT EVIL 6 

When I learned that Jill was not in RE6 I was mad... But after I played that game I said “thank you God” that game was bad, transformers kind of bad, it had bad writing, the lore was all over the place and Chris was the one that suffered the most in this game. 

He was responsible for the death of an entire squad, suffered amnesia and people still wanted him in the command 

THEY MADE HIM AN ALCOHOLIC 

The golden boy of BSAA reduced to THIS. 

By the way, the director said that HE WANTED TO KILL CHRIS IN THIS GAME to SUBVERT EXPECTATIONS - so if you liked Piers now that he died only because of that. 

So now let’s analyse what we know: 

The first 2 main characters are not well represented in media until RE6, they don’t know how to re introduce Jill in the games and Chris was reduced to a normal guy at a Russian bar;

But it gets worse... 

Capcom LOVE Leon, we know that. he is always the hero, he is the protagonist in almost every movie and he is always the cool guy so when he get’s a new model, he looks like this:

But When Chris get’s a new face he look like this: 

WHO DAFUQ ARE U, no offense to the model but he has NEGATIVE JAW LINE.

And still he doesn't look like Claire’s brother, there is no blue/green eyes and he looks younger that he was in 6 (and 6 still uses that ugly character model) 

But let’s go in the lore- we HAVE 0 info on Jill in RE6 / RE7 and no sight of her in RE8 

And speaking of which, they tried to make Chris the bad guy in the trailer so when we play we see “Ohhhh he was not the bad guy, that happened and that is why he did that” 

But still... 

If they are going to do that to his character don’t use this character, shit ! Do something with that Wesker’s son that made 0 sense in RE6 but leave Chris out of this - it really feels that they simply don’t know how to treat him right

And you may think that I may be complaining a lot because of his appearance

But this is him in RE8  

(to me this is some random dude from Russia) 

And this is him in RE:Verse (that is going to be release TOGETHER) 

So this tells me that they have 0 clue of how to handle his looks

Jill got RE3Rmk but it felt like a cheap game compared to RE2Rmk where the original RE3 was SO MUCH BETTER

And this is bad because there are so many new fans joining the fandom only to see 2 great characters suffering from poor director’s choices. 

I’m sorry about this rant, if you like Chris face and looks its okay, really, but dont tell me that Chris from 5/6/8 is the same from 1/CV and if you think im wrong about Jill its fine, but she is an amazing character that could have so much more impact in RE universe (I mean, she never even appeared in a RE movie - animations) 

But it’s sad to see so many characters that receive good representation in media and good games/lore while Jill get’s almost none and Chris is handled like random face guy. 

I was going to talk a little bit more about Rev 1 and RE Umbrella Chronicles but there is no need since Im mad right now and it seems that Capcom has 0 interest in making Code Veronica and Umbrella’s fall after that since their fav boy Leon need a rmk in RE4 even tho RE4 is not that old. 

Bonus:

Fun fact: Chris served in the Air force, so yeah, to me even Tom Cruise looks more like Chris than Chris from the games

Why Every Gamer Will Have the Xbox One X On Their Wish List

When Microsoft unveiled the Xbox One back in 2013, they put too much emphasis on the revolutionary specs, opting for long rants on the system’s partnerships and HDMI pass-through capabilities instead of focusing on the system’s bread and butter — gaming.  

The results spoke for themselves: the Xbox One lagged far behind Sony and the PlayStation 4 in sales right from the beginning. In fact, it took the Xbox One a whole year just to surpass the Wii U by Nintendo. By February 2017, the PS4 had sold over 55 million units, dominating 57 percent of the consoles market share, with the Xbox One selling just under 29 million units. Since then, Microsoft has been under pressure to one-up Sony. The newly-announced next generation Xbox, set to rival the PlayStation 4 Pro released last year, is Microsoft’s answer to the critics.

The Xbox One X, originally referred to simply as Project Scorpio, blurs the lines between computing and gaming. With six teraflops, 12GB GDDR5 memory, and a native 4K display at 60FPS, the Xbox One X promises to be one of the smoothest gaming experiences available on the market. While 12GB of memory broken up across 12 1GB chips may sound like a lot, 4GB of that space will go towards running the operating system in order to bring the native 4K resolution. Paired with a 1TB hard drive with 50 percent more bandwidth, the Xbox One X is sure to load 4K games quickly.

Speaking of the 4K resolution, Microsoft has extended the crystal-clear graphics to all games and televisions — even those that don’t support the top resolution available. Through Microsoft’s super-sampling, all games will look cleaner, clearer, more colorful, and sharper no matter what display your TV has. So, yes, the Xbox One X runs the PS4 out of the building in basically every spec; be it the powerful CPU and GPU, expansive memory and bandwidth, or optical drive with 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray.

And the best part? “So, eight cores, organized as two clusters with a total of 4MB of L2 cache,” began Microsoft’s Nick Baker before getting to the good stuff. “These are unique customized CPUs for Scorpio running at 2.3GHz. Alluding back to the goals, we wanted to maintain 100 percent backwards compatibility with Xbox One and Xbox One S while also pushing the performance envelope.

That’s right, boys and girls, 100 percent backwards compatibility. That was always my biggest pet peeve with former Xbox models. Well, the Xbox One X can play games from the Xbox One, Xbox 360, and even the original Xbox. You can go all the way back to those old-timey classics like Crimson Skies and Destroy All Humans. They fixed it, gave a much-improved presentation at E3, and focused their marketing on the right feature of the console — it plays better games. That’s all any gamer can ask for.

Instead of zeroing in on the 4K resolution and how it works, Microsoft set out to show that the console will provide the best gaming experience on the market. You know, the stuff that gamers really care about. During E3, Microsoft didn’t repeat its mistake of ranting about the amazing features, chips, and partnerships, opting instead to show off the beautiful graphics through demonstrations of Assassin’s Creed Origins and Forza Motorsports 7. Even games as simple as Minecraft have a new flair and “pop” thanks to the 4K resolution. As head of Xbox Phil Spencer says, “this console is made for games to be appreciated the same way one would appreciate a fine piece of art.” “Xbox empowers game developers, large and small, to create different types of games for every type of player,” said Spencer. “Not only do we have the biggest cross-platform blockbusters on our platform, we’ve also scoured the world to bring our fans unique content from creative artists that capture the imagination.”

At around $499, the price tag is as impressive as the console, coming in around $100 more than the PS4 Pro. What you’re paying for, however, is the amazing features. Oddly enough, Microsoft doesn’t make money off the sale of the hardware, instead hoping that gamers will be inspired to buy other products like games and Xbox Live. Don’t forget, that price will go up another couple hundred dollars for the accessories and games. “I don’t want to get into all the numbers,” said Spencer in an interview with Business Insider. “But, in aggregate, you should realize that the hardware part of the console business is not the money-making part of the business. The money-making part is in selling games.” And games will sell, especially since 22 of the 42 games Microsoft revealed at the Xbox One X news conference will be exclusive to the powerful new system at launch, including Forza, Crackdown 3, and Sea of Thieves. Xbox brand loyalists certainly won’t mind shelling out a few extra bucks for the newest system, and after showing what the most powerful console ever released has to offer, Microsoft is hoping to convert some PS4 and Nintendo Switch players, too. Many gamers who already own a PS4 Pro and Switch will more than likely be adding yet another console to their collection and with good reason.
