Familiar Faces And New Modes In The Fifth Chapter of Fortnite

On Britney Spears’ 42^nd birthday and the release of a special in honour of the 60^thanniversary of Doctor Who [12] [17], the fifth chapter of Fortnite was launched [20] [54]. As you know by now, Fortnite: Battle Royale has become perhaps too reliant on special guest appearances from popular franchises for ongoing relevancy. Nonetheless, those who are especially familiar with its humble beginning in 2017 can be observant towards its originality and individuality still peering from the large number of crossovers, especially the gameplay in the Save the World and Battle Royale that has always been a hybrid of Minecraft and Team Fortress 2 [18] [78]. Oh! And do not forget about the original cast of characters from the first few seasons [26], as well as the forms of ambition a Fortnite fighter can express in Fortnite Creative [778! And speaking of gameplay, three new gameplay modes in Fortnite have been established [51]. Load your guns and sharpen your axes just before we list five guest appearances and some interesting new gameplay modes at the beginning of a new chapter that were revealed throughout the week after Stolas from Helluva Boss took us to the stars and made us look his way during a lament [65] [82] [83]. 

While my fellow sinners are tempted into purchasing new Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss merchandise and players are all fired up for the third season of Crash Team Rumble featuring Spyro the Dragon [8] [40] [41] [82] [83], Fortnite has gotten even more ambitious! [20] [54]

The first special guest appearance that caught my attention was Peter Griffin from Family Guy [9] [20] [54]. Strangely enough, he has been rendered into a slender, muscled figure, making him “Buff Peter”. I am terribly sorry, but have we learned nothing from the controversial collaboration with Rick & Morty [46]? Much like how Rick and Morty’s 2D art style was strangely adapted in the 3D world of Fortnite [79], the same result has happened to Peter. The appearance of the family guy may grind some gears, especially in an off-putting rendering of his iconic art style being pasted into the world of Fortnite [20] [54], but I suppose that collaborating with properties aimed at older audiences helps the game appeal to older Fortnite fighters. Besides, you cannot go wrong with a little “B-Bird is the word!” now and then [23]. Moreover, it is quite infatuating how a promotional video features how Mr. Griffin got his power for the event [22]. We still ought to be aware of how popular Fortnite has become with today’s youth, especially those under the age of sixteen, but at the same time, let us keep preaching the agelessness of animation, whether it will be 2D, 3D or even stop-motion [75]. 

It seems today, 
That gamers see 
Buff Peter in Fortnite
And sims on PC [13] [69] [72]… [22]

Snake from the Metal Gear Solid franchise is once again on duty for Fortnite: Battle Royale [20] [54]. It can be argued that his appearance in Fortnite is even more ambitious than his role as a fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate [48]. In my opinion, the collaboration with the Metal Gear Solid franchise is the most logical of the bunch because of Snake’s skills in weaponry and the elements of stealth that can occur when you try to shoot a player when they least expect it [48] [59]. However, making him perform those dance moves could be considered even more embarrassing than the time when he was on a skateboard like some Tony Hawk wannabe in Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance [35]. Moreover, such wit could also be off-putting because of how intensely serious the aspects of Snake’s character is as a soldier diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder [52]. But as we relish in the fun of Fortnite, we can still show kindness to fellow gamers who happen to have been diagnosed with PTSD themselves [44], aside from some playful banter within a competition. What could be next? Solid Snake as a Survivor in Dead By Daylight…or would that apply to Lara Croft from the Survivor timeline of the Tomb Raider franchise [64] [67]?

While Adam Francis, Felix Richter, and Renato Lyra from The Rainbow Six Siege Collection strive for survival in Dead by Daylight [11] [68], Snake is still all about that stealth. [20] [54]

Would you believe that the iconic style of LEGO has been rendered into the world of Fortnite for a new survival sandbox mode [7] [34] [38] [51] [55]? Of course, LEGO is no stranger to crossovers as some of my fellow gamers may recall LEGO Dimensions, the toys-to-life game that resulted in several crossovers, including the quirkiness of The Simpsons being built a different kind of saffron-fleshed artistry [29], the creation of Sonic the Hedgehog in LEGO form and the day being saved once again with The Powerpuff Girls [56] [63]. Perhaps if Fortnite wants to be even more ambitious during the seasons of the fifth chapter of Fortnite: Battle Royale [20] [54], Deadpool can make a big comeback as a LEGO figure in LEGO Fortnite [5], even if that would result in him being muted once again [79]. After all, LEGO is not just a toy. It is an art form. I do not doubt that LEGO Fortnite is being compared to Minecraft [45], especially if there happens to be a new crossover event at some point in 2024 as Minecraft seems to have also relied a little too heavily on crossovers for relevancy with the latest one being with Jurassic World [50]. Ultimately, both LEGO lovers and Fortnite fighters are finding some joy in a new survival open-world experience [7] [38] [55].

Look how adorable these two are in LEGO form! [55]

There was quite an ironic celebrity guest appearance for the Big Bang Event [14] [21], much like how Ariana Grande was featured in the Rift Tour over two years ago [1] [9]. If you are a Fortnite fighter who is a fan of Eminem’s music [15], consider this up your alley. Surely, some of his songs have been criticised for being too aggressive and even too violent [32], but his talent is hard to deny and “Mockingbird” brought on a much more empathetic side of him and a few tears to his listeners’ eyes [4] [77], thus leading to praise for not always succumbing to certain rap and hip-hop clichés for big sales [76]. I have nothing against celebrity endorsements, but the impact they leave may not always be as bright as the shining of a star as some cartoon critics may recall the foulness of The Slim Shady Show, the infamous cartoon starring him that consisted of crude humour and extremely choppy animation [66]. The reason for Eminem’s appearance during a live event was to promote a new gameplay genre from Harmonix added to the world of Fortnite that is very similar to Guitar Hero called “Fortnite Festival” [43] [47] [51]. Aside from that, it is quite coincidental to see him in Fortnite three years after Venom had an appetite for some crossover craziness [16] [27] [73].

Can the gamers playing Fortnite please stand up? 
Please stand up? Please stand up [15]? [14]

Lastly, The Weeknd makes another celebrity guest appearance for the launch of Fortnite Festival [19] [25] [71]. He is also associated with promoting the new rhythm mode for those who dig their tunes and rhythm gameplay [51]. What could be next? A new hit single sung by The Weeknd featuring Eminem [15] [70]? Fortnite Festival might interest Fortnite fighters who are familiar with rhythm game series like Guitar Hero and Project Diva [33] [43]. However, it might seem a bit too ambitiously different for those who are so used to the iconic battle royale mode, quite like how some younger players who grew up with the Skylanders series must have found the racing mode in Skylanders: SuperChargers a bit too dissimilar for their tastes [74]. Nevertheless, there is nothing wrong with a video game franchise wanting to try something new. I fully supported a speedy blue hedgehog trying new things when I considered myself fan of him [62] [63]. Celebrity guest appearances may seem like an uninspired tactic for public approval, but fans may get some enjoyment out of them if they are done the right way. Yes, that includes those who are still playing Kim Kardashian: Hollywood to this day [30], despite a recent lack of updates for the app [31].

I can’t wait to try this new game mode… 
Could I love it? 
Please don’t spoil it [70]! [71]

Before we wrap the listings up like a Christmas present, let us discuss the elements of another new mode named “Rocket Racing” that will begin with Season Zero [49] [51]. As previously mentioned, it is quite understandable why some fans of the Skylanders series may consider the racing mode in Skylanders: SuperChargers a smaller priority [74], but I hold no ill will towards those who got a thrill out of it. The same will apply to the Fortnite fighters who are hyped for the upcoming racing mode before it goes live [49]. I have a feeling that the new mode will be compared to the likes of Disney Speedstorm and Rocket League [10] [60] [81]. Aside from Fortnite Festival providing two musical artist endorsements [14] [21] [71], I suppose that there might be endorsements of real-life racers in Fortnite: Rocket Racers…or possibly the return of Sonic the Hedgehog in his racing car known as the “Speed Star” from Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing [62]. Am I just giving the executives ideas for new crossovers? The financial stability of Fortnite appears to have increased for some new game modes [51], which can prove to outsiders that there is more to it than so many crossover battles, but I digress as there might as well be more crossovers in these new modes. 

You do not suppose that there might be a collaboration with Barbie in the first season of Fortnite: Rocket Racing [2] [3], no? That would result in the quirkiness of the crossover between Barbie and Stumble Guys and the focus on a stylish pink vehicle to steer in Forza Horizon 5 [80]. [49]

It is bizarre how three intellectual properties that do not have a lot in common and two celebrity guest appearances have been featured at the beginning of a new chapter of Fortnite. Fittingly, each of them has been elected for both familiar and fresh fun within genres, including:

• Peter Griffin and Solid Snake in another battle royale [20] [54]
• A tribe of LEGO figures in the open-world survival adventure [7] [38] [55]
• The Weeknd and Eminem promoting Fortnite Festival [19] [14] [21] [25] [47] [71]

Personally, I think there ought to be more logical crossovers throughout the fifth chapter, such as a second one with Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider franchise featuring her in her outfit from Tomb Raider Legend for the next season of Fortnite: Battle Royale [84]. Perhaps some reasonable crossovers in the new modes can include Marvel’s Avengers in LEGO Fortnite and Sonic the Hedgehog in Rocket Racing [39] [62] [63]. Outside of fighting and fun in Fortnite, there is hype for Grand Theft Auto VI beginning a new chapter of the edgy, law-breaking havoc, most notably with a new female protagonist in 2025 [6] [61]. In the meantime, if you fancy cosplaying as characters in Christmas-themed equivalents of their outfits this year [36], by all means, go right ahead. Have a festive Christmas break after a harmonious Hanukkah, Fortnite fighters [28] [58] [85]!

Some might hope to soar in Spyro 4 and others may wish to experience another crossover in Fortnite that does not seem so forced [42]. Rumour has it that the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles will join the party later this month before Christmas [24]. Perhaps the Save The World mode can finally get a crossover at some point in 2024 [18] [78]. During the beginning of the fifth chapter, let us continue to be kind to one another within the Christmas spirit [57], whether we have been nice enough to earn a holiday update for Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration…or naughty enough to wreak havoc in the holiday event in Crash Team Rumble featuring the cast in icing palettes [8] [53].

This is a listicle that features one announcement trailer that contains blood, a depiction of murder and moderate censored profanity. Reader discretion is advised.

There has been quite a lot of cartoony crazes in gaming this year [57] [58] [59], including the collaboration between Fall Guys and Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Happy Tree Friends edition of The Crackpet Show [40] [56] [61]. Furthermore, moments like those can be considered a little crazier if there happens to be a crossover. Those who were bewildered at the fanmade crossover between Helluva Boss and Murder Drones from MORØ Productions may understand where I am coming from [35]. To an extent, a crossover can be a little more ambitious if a fan is able to interact with it. By now, Fortnite fighters are familiar with that feeling, yet there have been some crossovers in Fortnite: Battle Royale that made less sense or just turned out to be less satisfying than others [54]. After all, the collaboration with Rick and Morty missed the mark for how the art style of Rick and Morty rendered in the 3D world of Fortnite looked a little too bizarre and the skins got banned for several months after the arrest of Justin Roiland, the series’ creator [24] [30] [54]. On a lighter note, could these new crossovers that are about to be analysed be considered right up your alley of quirkiness…or scariness? Fasten your seatbelt before we proceed to analyse the first crazy crossover to discuss.

A month ago, there was a Toy Story-themed event in Fall Guys [21], but who is collaborating with who this month? [21]

Let us start with the next big step of Lightning McQueen’s career outside of Pixar Animation Studios in Rocket League [46]. It is quite bizarre to put an anthropomorphic car in a world of realistic vehicles that cannot talk or sense anything at all, yet it is meant to be after the celebration of Halloween with the main cast of The Nightmare Before Christmas [44]. Nevertheless, a previous racer could sense the thrill of racing as no other than Bumblebee from the Transformers franchise back in June [45]. I have been hopeful for a second season of Cars On The Road, a spin-off series on Disney+, but rumour has it that it might have been cancelled due to the streaming platform’s apparent downfall [20]. But who knows? The trailer for it might just pop up any day near the Christmas break or in early 2024 [17]. In addition to a lighter note, Mr. McQueen is looking quite expressive in the twelfth season of Rocket League [46]. Furthermore, there is hype for Elsa and Kristoff from the Frozen franchise to let it go in a new way and no longer feel lost in the woods in the fifth season of Disney Speedstorm [18] [19] [25] [26]. Vroom vroom!

Ka-Chow! [46]

Secondly, let the force of a Minecrafter be with you in Minecraft x Star Wars: Path of the Jedi [39] [50]. This is the second time there has been an official Star Wars showcase in Minecraft as some of you may recall the adventures based on the original trilogy and the Mandalorian series three years ago [32]. Despite the ambitiousness of the new DLC, I still stand by how Minecraft seems to have become a little too reliant on crossovers to stay relevant and hip as we have witnessed a lot of third-party collaborations in Minecraft, including the Disney: Worlds of Adventure update and the co-operation of the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles back in August [38] [40] [59], along with the collaborations with Batman and Avatar: The Last Air Bender from last year [33] [34]. Nonetheless, the originality of Minecraft still peeps through the number of third-party collaborations in terms of the creativity and open-world exploration that lies in the gameplay [43]. As for the crossovers, they can still provide some creativity and adventurousness to an extent, especially if the character skins and buildings are very well done for the fans of the franchises. Now is the opportunity for a Minecrafter to strive from a Jedi knight’s perspective with Padawan and encounter other characters, such as Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi [39] [50]. 

I am aware that the Star Wars films are live-action films [23], but because of how cartoony the characters look in the Minecraft style in this crossover [39] [50], it can still technically be counted as another cartoony craze. Well, that is probably just my artistic tastes telling me that. Aside from that, let us continue to show support for Ahmed Best and Jake Lloyd as they continue to personally progress from the unfair backlash they received from their roles in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace [3] [23] [52]. [39]

Near the end of this November, SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks will become the newest third-party brawlers in Brawlhalla [7]. SpongeBob’s primary attacks are the way he wields his spatula and his jellyfishing net. He can also do his karate moves with his karate gear on. Patrick can also wield a jellyfishing net and one of Sandy’s weapons is her guitar. Of course, this is not the first time SpongeBob has been in a fighting game as those who have fondly played Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl and are currently tuning into its sequel know [27] [28]. It can be argued that Brawlhalla is also coming a little too relevant on crossovers to appeal to players outside of its own fanbase as there was a crossover with Aang, Toph and Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender a year ago [5]. Nevertheless, these crossovers can still be enjoyable, depending on the player’s interests. During the wait for four new brawlers, including Mr. Krabs joining the roster of Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 in 2024 [37], the jolly sponge, his dim-witted best friend and the intelligent squirrel from Texas shall be the newest competitors in Brawlhalla after its crossover event with Roblox [6] [7]. 

Who’s going to kick some butt under the sea? 
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS!
All ready and cheery and feisty is he!
SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! [7]

Uh oh! Halloween may be over, but it looks like there will be a SCARY special guest appearance in Dead by Daylight on the day before SpongeBob becomes a playable character in Brawlhalla [7] [12]. Wanna play with Chucky [9]? Well, as one can tell by the first-person perspective in the trailer, he ain’t gonna play nice [12]. A new challenge awaits the survivors (and slayers) of the previous collaborations, including the wrath of Naughty Bear as The Trapper during this year’s Haunted By Daylight event [13] [14], the galactic terror of a familiar being in Nostromo Wreckage from the Alien franchise in August and the moment of Nicholas Cage playing the role of a fellow survivor in July [11] [15]. It appears that the soul of Charles Lee Ray in the body of a cutesy doll will be a skin for the killer in the brutal game of hide-and-seek that has been terrorising survivors and feeding the inner demons of slayers since June 2016 [4] [7], which is another sign of a crossover being taken seriously with a certain character being portrayed spectacularly besides the collaborations with Freddy Kruger from the A Nightmare on Elm Street franchise [9] [10] [16]. Whether Chucky will be the killer in his regular attire or an outfit inspired by his bride Tiffany, just watch your back later this month…

Looks like not every crossover has to be cartoonish to be crazy [56] [57] [58] [59]. Chucky could be your friend…’til the end…[9] [12]

In conclusion, these crossovers are quite simulating on their own accords [7] [12] [39] [46], but it can be considered more vital to see already existing properties continue to flourish on their own, such as Sonic Prime being renewed third season and to make room for brand new ones to shine in the spotlight for the first time, such as Disney’s Wish [36] [55]. Nonetheless, there might as well be a few new crossover events, as well as other things to look forward to or at least give a chance in 2024 [53], such as the highly anticipated Deadpool 3 and the upcoming reboot of Mean Girls based on its musical adaption that was established in late 2017 [8] [31] [42] [47] [60]. We must be mindful of how effective these crossovers can be, especially when a pinky promise is made to portray certain characters convincingly and respectfully [51], even though that would not always be in case as Deadpool was completely muted for his participation in Fortnite: Battle Royale and Sonic the Hedgehog’s portrayal in that episode of OK K.O. was considered…quite a downgrade [29] [48]. Until then, best of luck to those in the role-playing Grand Prix within the theme honouring Super Mario RPG in Tetris 99 and feel free to express the impact the described crossovers just left or could leave on you [41]!

And speaking of respectfully portrayed, please do not fall for the YouTube channels that are harmfully mocking and misrepresenting me, especially if they are planning to tarnish my new username “LadyLaurapop” [1] [2]. On a lighter note, I hope my fiancé’s fellow Sonic supporters have fun with the LEGO Fun Pack for Sonic Superstars [49]! Stay safe this Black Friday! [49]

The Amazing Announcement Of Sonic Superstars

Happy Pride Month, Sonic supporters [18] [23] [42] [43]! 2023 has been another motivating year for Sonic the Hedgehog so far as it started with a line of Burger King toys [31] [32]. The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog was a crazily infatuating April Fool’s Day joke that surprisingly turned out to be an actual point-and-click visual novel game available to play for free [30] [36] [39]. If only that were the case for Bendy: Campus Crush [14]. During this year’s Summer Game Fest and near the blue speedster’s birthday [9] [10] [11], a new title featuring his adorable classic self has been announced [37]. Of course, this is not the first time we have heard of Sonic being associated with the term “Superstars” [33]. No Mario Party reference intended [19]. It has been nearly a dozen years since Classic Sonic’s legacy in 3D began with Sonic Generations in honour of the franchise’s twentieth anniversary [25]. Moreover, many Sonic supporters’ minds are blown by what has been revealed in the announcement trailer for Sonic Superstars and the hype is on [35]. After diving into the full potential of the live-action adaption of The Little Mermaid with my fiancé [39], I shall speed up with what Sonic Superstars, formerly referred to as “Sonic Orion” will have to offer [35] [37].

What can I say? This forthcoming instalment for the Sonic the Hedgehog looks amazing [37]! And yes, this is coming from someone who considers herself a former fan of the series due to toxicity in the fandom [15], yet she will always consider all the friendly and rational fans “Sonic supporters”, including her fiancé. [37]

The roster of playable characters includes:

• Sonic the Hedgehog [35] [37]
• Miles “Tails” Prower [35] [37]
• Knuckles the Echidna [35] [37]
• Amy Rose (who can also be in her modern attire for those who subscribe to the game’s official website [24]) [35] [37]

As usual, each hero will have their own abilities, such as Amy wielding her hammer. For the first time in a Sonic game, four players can dash through a stage in a local co-op mode [24] [37]. With the power of the Chaos Emeralds, there will be some new incredible abilities, including transforming into jellyfish that strongly resemble the four ghosts from Pac-Man in co-op multiplayer mode and running on walls with the power of an aura during a solo adventure [1] [2] [37]. It is undeniably spectacular how a new side-scroller will not only feature Classic Sonic, just like Sonic Mania and Sonic Origins [41] [44], but it will be in 3D, just like Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I and Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II [28] [29] [37]. And not to mention that there are some adaptions of familiar locations, including the return of special stages and a brand new place that looks a lot like a cyberspace simulation and vaguely reminds me of Pac-Man 256 [3] [37]. And as usual, Dr. Eggman will strike back to cause trouble [35] [37]. 

The most surprising aspect of the game’s announcement is the appearance of Fang the Sniper at the end [37]. What could his motive be after years of absence [35]? [37]

I believe that the success of Sonic Mania must be part of the inspiration for Sonic Superstarsto be developed and published [27]. Hopefully, we will eventually see the official trailer for the second season of Sonic Prime [17], which will add to the blue speedster’s 2023 legacy. As for Sonic Superstars, it will be launched this Autumn for various platforms, most notably the Nintendo Switch, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S [24] [35] [37]. Speaking of the PlayStation 5, our loyal lombaxes and robotic rangers are hyped for the imminent PC port of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart by Nixxes Software two years after its original release for the PlayStation 5 [13] [22] [42] [43], much like how Sonic Lost World got a PC port back in late 2015, which was two years after its original release for the Wii U [26] [34]. As we wait for Sonic Superstars and Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 [11] [12] [20] [37], let us have a splendid Summer just in time for the third season of the fourth chapter of Fortnite featuring Optimus Prime from the Transformers franchise and in preparation for some whacky battles in Crash Team Rumble featuring a new non-binary character [4] [5] [6] [21], along with some additional features in Sonic Origins Plus [41] [42].

No matter how toxic and hateful social media can be [7] [8] [16], there is always something to look forward to beyond it and some good people to experience it with you [38]. [37]

Sonic Frontiers – Super Sonic And More In An Open-World Adventure Soon

Minasan, Kon’nichiwa! A few days ago, the Tokyo Game Show trailer for Sonic Frontiers was unleashed while our Nintendo nerds rejoiced for Pauline and Diddy Kong joining the roster in another update for Mario Strikers: Battle League Football later this month [22] [27] [32] [33] [36] [49] [65]. There has been a lot of hope for Sonic the Hedgehog’s open-world adventure to excel, despite some doubtfulness and demands for a delay back in June [61] [64]. Optimism flourished when another gameplay trailer within this year’s Nintendo Direct Mini showcase came out and the story trailer revealing more about the plot came two months later [60] [62] [63]. The gameplay demo of Sonic Frontiers has received approval from Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of the Super Smash Bros. series at Tokyo Game Show [5], which is indeed a green flag being waved gracefully. Even though I am still not swindled into ever considering myself a fan of the blue speedster again [4] [6], despite the potential for great ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) with a Sonic Frontiers theme [2], I am here to preach hopes for the best outcome of the game for the fifth time after tittering at Wade Wilson’s charming and quirky fourth-wall-breaking in the first volume of Deadpool: Samurai while our Nintendo nerds get ready to make more artistic chaos in the newly released Splatoon 3 [10] [11]. 

Aside from the brief evaluation within an overview [48], there is still a little more to analyse from the new trailer associated with this year’s Tokyo Game Show [33]. [32] [34] [49] [65]

What has been revealed in the Tokyo Game Show trailer to further increase the hype for the game? Firstly, there is a volcano on Koros Island [32] [33] [36] [49] [65], leading to the possibility of some puzzles being set across flowing lava that does not look like tomato soup, unlike in Bowser’s Castle in Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Wii [23] [24]. Next, we see more of what awaits a Sonic supporter on Ares Island, including rails that are constructed into giant rings [32] [33] [36] [49] [65]. The blue speedster is later seen confronting a large foe whose textures and facial structures vaguely remind me of Venom, the iconic antiheroic symbiote from Marvel [11] [56]. It has been revealed that gathering all seven emeralds will allow Sonic to become Super Sonic once again, which is what I suspect can also lead to some tension in a cutscene that leads to a final boss battle [32] [33] [36] [49] [65]. Aside from what appears to be the finishing touches to advertising Sonic Frontiers in terms of promising trailers, one of the game’s official theme songs is “Vandalize” by ONE OK ROCK, which sounds amazing in both Japanese and English [29] [30] [43], but only using the censored versions would be essential since the game will be rated 7 in Europe and E10+ in North America [28] [32] [36] [49] [65].

The other theme song for Sonic Frontiers is “I’m Here” [38] [47]. Its lyrics match how Sonic must feel throughout his forthcoming adventure to a T. A while ago, I was motivated to write a parody of Elton John and Britney Spears’ collaboration, which is a recreation of “Hold Me Closer” [7] [57]. Care to sing along? [48]

Super Sonic’s appearance in a cutscene leading to the final boss battle would be much like the moments near the endings of the two live-action movies from Paramount Pictures [52] [53]. And speaking of ratings, let us not provoke Deadpool into trying to correct us [12]. [32] [34] [49] [65]

There will be side quests to evaluate the sense of adventuring and keep the gameplay experience varied besides speeding up with Sonic [48]. Remember how frustrating the fishing gameplay in Big the Cat’s story in Sonic Adventure was to some players [34]? Well, the opportunity to go fishing with Big will return in Sonic Frontiers [14] [39], much like how he will make an appearance in Sonic Prime [16]. The big difference will be that the fishing gameplay will only be a minigame in an adventure mostly centred around Sonic [14], which is what I believe will be for the best with some technical differences when it comes to giving Big’s own thing another chance [34]. Furthermore, the fishing minigame may hopefully be nearly as exceptional as fishing in the Animal Crossing series [19] [20] [21]. Let us just hope that there will be no small fries that subtract fifty points, unlike in the fishing game in Wii Play [25]. Surely, Big’s character can be upgraded with some new exploration at some point [14] [39]. Alternatively, if there will not be much character exploration in a new game, there can always be some in a comic book series [8] [9]. The fishing minigame is an interesting way to keep the gameplay experience varied besides solving puzzles across Starfall Islands [14] [48].

As fascinating as it is to see Spider-Gwen in the fourth season of the third chapter of Fortnite [3] [31], it would be interesting to see Big the Cat be the host of a minigame within some redemption [14] [39]. Could faintly similar redemption apply to his portrayal in Sonic Prime [41]? [16]

What else is there is say and hope for in terms of gameplay and such? It turns out that the keys are for gathering the chaos emeralds as the game progresses [39] [48]. Speaking of progress, the impact on Sonic’s powers will be increased and he will gain new abilities throughout this quest as the game’s difficulty increases in new areas, which can make the journey engaging and satisfying without any sign of staleness. As much as I am up for a multiplayer mode in an update or DLC pack for Marvel’s Midnight Suns [57] [58], I am still up for a multiplayer mode in Sonic Frontiers that could be part of an update [60]. As previously stated, Player Two can either be Metal Sonic, Shadow the Hedgehog or Silver the Hedgehog as the second player competing as a recolour of Sonic just like in the Wii version of Sonic Colours can be rather uninspired [60]. And speaking of DLC, there will be a collaboration with Inugami Korone within DLC which is a new pair of interestingly designed shoes with matching gloves [40]. Aside from Super Sonic’s eventual time to shine and the cuteness of the Inugami Korone-themed DLC, I deeply appreciate the ambition the main gameplay appears to consist of [32].

This is not the first time Inugami Korone was associated with Sonic the Hedgehog as she was in an interview in honour of his 30^th anniversary [51]. [39]

Overall, the potential of Sonic Frontiers just keeps becoming more and more promising, which makes up for the backlash towards it back in June [54] [64]. Unlike the Japanese marketing for the game [34], the marketing for Sonic Prime does not seem to be very effective so far possibly due to uncertainty in figuring out the right time to market it after the series’ completion [41], along with many employees being sacked from Netflix Animation resulting in some issues [55]. On a lighter note, we might as well also look for fun in the third season of The Cuphead Show, despite the heebie-jeebies that the cliffhanger at the end of the Season Two finale caused us [1] [18]. As for our bronies and pegasisters, they are sure to behold even more magic of friendship that will make its mark later this month [15] [17]. Hopefully, there will be a new story trailer for Sonic Prime that will boost the hype for it back up very soon, almost to the level of the hype for Sonic Frontiers. Is anyone up for a princess tea party battle in the meantime [44]? What has been revealed in the Tokyo Game Show trailer for Sonic Frontiers, along with Sakurai’s approval at the convention might just be the icing on the promotional cake [5] [32] [33] [36] [49] [65]. Sayonara!

It looks like I have completed my Sonic Frontiers article sandwich with the first article as the bottom bread, the second one as the lettuce, the third one as the meat, the fourth one as the cheese and the fifth and final one as the top bread [60] [61] [62] [63] [64]. Yum! [39]

There also have been a lot of monthly events in Sonic Speed Simulator, including a search for Froggy with Big the Cat and a brief rehash of the Sonic Riders series with Jet the Hawk [42]. 2022 has been a big and engaging year for Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic Frontiers may hopefully be its outstanding conclusion [60]. [42]

A Third Article About Deadpool’s Nerdy 30 And Such (Feat. Deadpool)

Disclaimer:

This is an article that contains content aimed at mature audience, including moderate profanity sexual references, along with some concerns regarding misrepresentation of autism. Reader discretion is advised.

I, Wade Wilson’s little Laurapop is back with another article on him in association with his Nerdy Thirty after becoming fully vaccinated [97]. With Deadpool, the term “Nerdy Thirty” is the new Sweet Sixteen. This article featuring his point of view, along with a bedtime story about unicorns is what he deserves after Ryan Reynolds posed as Mr. Fantastic and broke his antiheroic heart about a month ago [17] [90] [91]. He has been through some horrific times and he uses humour as a coping mechanism [30], which is quite like how I have felt when it comes to featuring his perspective to try and benefit my mental health since early 2020 [99]. And if you thought two hedgehogs dressed up as pirates in Sonic Dash were dangerously quirky in association with the thirtieth anniversary of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise [69], wait until we expand on the history of a Canadian merc with a foul mouth after jamming to the cartoon beatbox battle between him and Black Panther [21]. Since I let him know about this article a while ago [94], here he is once again in the captions. He just came back from having a nice can of Pan Punch since he is pansexual [77] [78] [79] [99].

“Howdy, reader! It’s me again! Captain Delicious Pants [16]! I recall making a sudden guest appearance in Laura’s second article on the 21st anniversary of The Sims [86] [87]. Furthermore, I would love to meet up with her in a romantic garden someday! I promise I won’t kill her! After all, she knows not to call me “Limp Bizkit lover” again…or I’ll have to stick her ass to a cactus [84] [88]. So much for being close to smelling and tasting freedom after getting her second vaccine [98].” [55]

“I know I’m an antihero, but I swear I did not kidnap her and tie her to her recliner before she wrote this article [12] [58]! However, I’ll have to talk her back to sleep if she doesn’t co-operate, though I need to at least make her feel welcome in my fanbase, don’t I [60]? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have written articles about me for her blog. The gorgeous f**kcake and I have been playing rough since last year [99]. It’s been a great coping mechanism for her. Are your handcuffs nice and tight, Laura [82]? Go ahead and write away!” [107]

Suddenly being a hostage after all this time working with the merc is so much fun. Now, what else does Deadpool’s Nerdy Thirty have to offer and what else could it offer in the second half of 2021? Well, there was a huge merchandise box for Funko! Pop collectors that some unboxers have unboxed [66]. Would you believe that there is an alternate version of the Dinopool Funko! Pop figure that consists of mostly black scales, resembling Deadpool’s black and red Weapon X suit that made an appearance in Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds [9] [10]? I would only wear the Deadpool bracelet from Lokai if it is not too big for my narrow wrists and if the pattern and strength last as long as about a lustrum or more. Published and released between March and May 2021, the comic book titled “Deadpool Nerdy 30” has a lot of potential as the first part of the first volume heavily associated with marking the thirtieth anniversary of the masked rascal’s debut, especially for fans who have not read it quite yet [97] [101]. I believe we might be expecting the second part of Volume Número Uno later this year.

“I cannot wait for more of my Nerdy 30 for all of my adoring fans. Don’t worry, Laura honey. I’m sure there’ll be a Deadpool bracelet that fits you as well as your handcuffs do [4]. Be grateful that you have a mom who’s still alive [48], okay?” [45]

“Oh! And don’t forget about me as a Funko! Pop figure being involved in this year’s It Gets Better project! Suck it, homophobia!” [57]

I suppose we can look a little further into the history of some of the previous Deadpool comics since he is fully aware of being a comic book star. Would you believe that Deadpool…killed Deadpool [40] [41] [44]? Quite a shocking title, huh? Throughout the fourth volume of Deadpool Kills Deadpool, many alternate versions of the comedic merc in a crimson suit meet their demise. At least they would all have a funky dance party together instead at a convention [5]. Theoretically, some of us can imagine the victor is the Deadpool that is the most faithful to the comics and that the loser is the “Memepool” that some fans do not like very much for how certain aspects of his personality are hugely exaggerated [30]. You know what I would like to see in the near future of the Deadpool comics? Some autism positivity portrayed in a new storyline that welcomes a new character on the autism spectrum and features them gradually gaining some self-empowerment without having their autism blamed for their notable flaws and resulting in an antihero aiming to “cure” it [20]. I am looking at you, Aquaman! I have had enough of autism being cruelly misrepresented and dehumanised in today’s society, especially online [33].

“Thank Marvel Aquaman’s perspective isn’t being featured in this article [93]. “Curing” autism [20]? That’s the stupidest f**king “superpower” I’ve ever heard! And I thought the ability to shoot lasers out of eyes was lame [64]. I know I’m a dick, but even I have my limits.” [41]

“During the times Laura felt like she wasn’t going to achieve anything anymore, Deaddykins gave her the Second Prize In A Beauty Contest card from Monopoly to cheer her up [52] [95]. The one who won first prize in the contest was Ed Skrein [15]. Sexiness aside, I want my cookie dough cupcake to embrace being autistic [91], not just because she threatened to slap the f**k out of me if I misrepresented that [99]. Damn you, Autism Speaks [34] [65]!” [40]

About two months ago after I had my first coronavirus vaccine, I bought a compilation of the Return Of The Living Deadpool comics that were published in mid-2015 from HMV to read and analyse [89]. What makes the art style of the series refreshing and unique is that the backgrounds and supporting characters are all in black and white, except for the merc himself…and clones of him who evolved from zombie forms! This reminds me of that one episode of the mid-‘90s version of The Pink Panther is set in a black and white city with the panther standing out in his shades of pink [54]. Liz, the girl the real Deadpool teams up with reminds me of the nineteen-year-old Ellie from The Last Of Us: Part II due to the characteristics of a young female survivor of a zombie apocalypse she consists of [59]. I could see the real deal at least try to be a good ally to Liz whilst still being himself as I flicked through the pages, which is a trait I strongly believe should be present in Deadpool 3 aside from various moments of gore and violence and witty remarks [100]. The possibility of the Deadpool in this new collaboration could be one of the former zombies disturbs me!

“Fret not, reader! How will Laura know she’s working with the real DP? Well, the real deal can give her the best shoulder massage [99].” [43]

Oh, thank goodness! A recycled reference has saved the day! The idea of the masked rascal invading the settings within iconic classic novels [80], including The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer and causing havoc reminds me of the episode of Fairly Odd Parents titled “Shelf Life” when Timmy Turner and his fairy godparents voyage through corrupted tales, including a parody of The Cat In The Hat named “The Rat In The Spats” [73]. Killing the characters from the classics could be one of the most insane things he has ever done! But in all honesty, I would be thrilled if he killustrates in any of my novellas…just as long as he does not…well…get too carried away, though I am up for self-parodies. Alternatively, perhaps he can killustrate in Fifty Shades of Grey or teach Christian Grey how to be…well…a different kind of gentleman [1]. The same can apply to Edward Cullen from the Twilight saga, even though I think Stephenine Meyer ought to write a novella about Bella Cullen starting high school all over after the events of Breaking Dawn to finally make up for the backlash that the novel received from many fans of the Twilight saga for being an unsatisfying finale [50].

“In your dreams, honey bunny! At least literally for now, but why not just write a fanfiction about this sexy sh** swizzler in the near future if you don’t want me to cross a line in any of your novellas [103] [106]? I like the idea of killustrating in the Twilight saga though. I have no idea why Bella did not die when it was that time of the month [82] [83] [101].” [42]

Did you know that the manly mutate has had two daughters throughout the history of his comics? One of them is named “Eleanor” or “Ellie” for short and her mother is a lady who hooked up with him at some point [47]. She is adorable as a kid, isn’t she? The other daughter is named “Warda”, and she appears in Deadpool 2099 as a successor to her father’s antiheroic identity in robotic armour that highly resembles a rather familiar uniform [49]. She is later confronted by a fully grown Ellie who gained a mutant ability after going through puberty [48]. You can tell that Warda’s mother is Shiklah due to her ebony locks and lavender skin [49] [99]. I can hardly imagine being the daughter of a merc like Wade. I also cannot imagine being used as some bad bait guy either. Seriously, that stunt the manly mutate pulled that could have got Eleanor killed was probably one of the worst things he has ever done besides slaughtering the Marvel universe [30] [80]! Although I understand that he loves her dearly [30] [47], I think he needs to go back to parenting class after celebrating his Nerdy Thirty…or I will have to call him an a-hole in slow motion [15].

“Zip it, Vanessa V2.0! You’re lucky that I don’t cuss when my little Ellie-Belly is around. Not that any sensible writer who has a kid of their own would allow me to do so anyway.” [46]

Speaking of Vanessa Carlysle, who I believe ought to become Copycat in Deadpool 3 [85], we shall look at the notable differences between the theatrical cut to the super duper cut of Deadpool 2 [35] [72]. The information in the opening credits and what the merc is posing on near the end of them are definitely different. In the theatrical release, the scene where the masked rascal attempts to blow himself up by lighting gas features lullaby music. In the super duper cut, the song used for the rest of the suicide attempt montage resumes. I sure am glad that a joke regarding a specific kind of whistle was not included in super duper cut. There are some more differences, including some of Ed’s dialogue at the bar. Perhaps my boyfriend can see the super duper cut some time and tell me which one he prefers. I may not be surprised if there will be a longer and edited version of Deadpool 3 after its theatrical release since I have nothing against censorship and regional differences, just as long as they are not considerably measly as plenty of 2000s kids remember how English dubs of certain anime with rather unreasonable edits aired on 4Kids [11].

“Wait until there’s a super duper edition of my little Laurapop’s fanfiction about me waking up next to V-Vincent [98].” [108]

There is still plenty of hopes for Deadpool 3 to excel, along with some concerns about its outcome during the manly mutate’s Nerdy Thirty. Could he demonstrate some ASL (American Sign Language) in one scene as it was confirmed that he can do it accurately for Clint Barton [37]? Could there be a special guest appearance of Psylocke since she appeared in the merc’s own video game and the X-Force’s collaboration with Fortnite [2] [24] [109]? Surely, there can be a jab at the test footage for his first R-rated acclaim that was leaked back in 2014 [67] [105]. For the consideration of improved working conditions and not just for the sake of the film series’ reputation, it is imperative that the stunts behind the scenes do not cause another death [32], even though I understand that the death of a stuntperson on set would be an accident. My condolences go out to the friends and family of the brave Joi Harris to this day. It was very noble of the creative team to dedicate Deadpool 2 to her during its theatrical release [16]. The determination to prevent the death of a stuntperson is what I want the most from the production of Deadpool 3 [92].

“Aside from how Bradley, my stuffed unicorn would like to give the tender-hearted Laura a kiss for the maximum effort she puts into these articles [13], I know she would never try to exploit a tragedy in any of them. My creative team will try their best to not violate any safety regulations again, my little Laurapop [92].” [62]

I may have received angry reactions for being neutral towards the idea of Deadpool 3 being rated PG-13 last year, but at least Mr. Pool has made me feel more than welcome to be a fan of him [85]. Sometimes, after that wretched year, we do our best to maintain proactivity as we continue to follow our passions. Later in May 2021, Felix, a member of Stray Kids briefly re-enacted the scene of Deadpool drawing at a motorway from his first box-office hit at their concert [15] [51]. Another member known as Bang Chan wore a Deadpool mask and sent big hugs to the viewers on Vlive [18] [71]. It is outstanding how a Canadian mercenary from an American comic book company has inspired specific aspects of a concert in South Korea [51]. Perhaps this can lead to a new song by Stray Kids being the official credits sequence song for a South Korean release of Deadpool 3. As for a Western release, there can perhaps be a cover of Ashes by Céline Dion for good old Deadpool 2 time’s sake [16]. I very much prefer being part of a fandom that is hardly ever toxic [28]. Some of my predictions may sound quite silly, but at least the merc is giving me the right to express them.

“Not official merch associated with Stray Kids, but still awesome nonetheless [15]! Bradley says that Laura has every right to feel welcome to be a fan of me, no matter what.” [51]

There is something I forgot to mention about Deadpool VS. The World. There were about fifteen bonus cards included in a special “NSFW” edition that was exclusive to purchase at GameStop [3]. Thank goodness Deadpool Supreme from Marvel Realm Of Champions does not have that many peg legs [105]. Even more crazy scenarios in the game include the comedic killer:

• As a voodoo doll [36]
• Apparently getting a pedicure [36]
• Witnessing a miniature version of himself popping out of his stomach [36]
• Being a test subject for aliens [36]
• Thinking with a sword jammed in his head [36]
• Removing his right ring finger [36]
• Begging a heart to not leave him [36]
• Posing with a chunk of him missing [36]
• Lying down with an ice pack tied to his bum [36]
• Getting shot in the neck by an arrow from a bow [36]

Almost as much as I am up for an online equivalent of the game being established, I believe there might as well be an animated sitcom loosely based on the shenanigans of the WTF cards in the near future. I mean, there was a greatly missed opportunity for an animated series starring him, for crying out loud [99]! Mr. Pool, please do not drag your bum across the floor [3]. I mopped it not too long ago before you held me hostage!

“Awww! You just recycled a joke from our first Nerdy 30 article [83]. How adorable! We’re even now. You’re not going to turn your Deadpool plushie into a Deadpool voodoo doll [101], are you? Don’t even think about it, Laura!” [3]

Lastly, I shall talk Fortnite for our Fortnite fighters. A depiction of a new Batman skin was revealed [25] [26], leading to a sign that the dark knight will once again be obtainable in Fortnite: Battle Royale after Superman’s special guest appearance in the seventh season of the second chapter [22] [23]. Remember the first time he joined Fortnite back in late 2019 [84]? If the X-Force ought to return in about 2022, I believe that the new skins ought to be the uniforms from Deadpool 2 that were basically yellow T-shirts with the X-Force symbol [16] [96]. Additionally, the skin for the comedic killer with a new wave can consist of his classic red gloves instead of black ones to make it easier to tell that it is his second time, compared to the first time the X-Force joined Fortnite in 2020 [24]. Similarly, I would be thrilled to see Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series join the Fortnite clan again [102] [104], but her Rise Of The Tomb Raider attire and Tomb Raider: Legend outfit [70] [76]. It may be unlikely that most iconic characters from other franchises will appear in a new season of Fortnite for the second time, but it can potentially make up for missed opportunities during the first time.

“Me and the X-Force returning in a new season of Fortnite doesn’t sound too bad, Lauralicious. But here’s the catch. They’d better let me freakin’ talk!! I’m the merc with a f**king mouth, for Liefeld’s sake [75]! I might as well be seduced by Harley Quinn in her Rebirth outfit if I appear in Fortnite for the second time [27] [38].” [24]

I do not doubt that no matter what he is going through, Deadpool will stay as witty as Waluigi striking a pose with a rose. It sure is interesting to see him in his Funko! Pop form as an artist again, but without the Bob Ross cosplay [56] [100]. His head and Conker the Squirrel must be great companions by now since the two antiheroes who have been crowned king at least once are celebrating special anniversaries this year [8] [101]. Us grown-ups can have our hopes for Deadpool 3 up while the youth of today tune into Spidey And His Amazing Friends on Disney Junior [19]. In 2022, that will mark the 30^th anniversary of Harley Quinn [6] [7]! She looks amazing in her new look in The Suicide Squad, the forthcoming standalone sequel to Suicide Squad [81]! I still hope high hopes for Deadpool 3, whether there will be a super duper cut after its theatrical release or not [72]. The release date of the official trailer for Deadpool 3 must be getting closer as Ryan Reynolds posted an image of a very familiar mask peeping from his backpack on his Instagram stories under a week ago [14] [61]. Thank you so much for letting me feature your point of view again, Mr. Wilson!

“No problem, my anime-eyed nerdette! Any mean motherf**ker who tells you you’re not a true Deadpool fan just to p**s you off will go on a blind date with Lucille from The Walking Dead [74] [83]. I promise I won’t discharge a grenade when we cuddle again [31]! Bring your boyfriend with you! Besides, his name rhymes with “bomb”, so I think he can handle it just in case I have to launch one!” [56]

“Miss I-Grew-Up-In-The-Wrong-Generation might as well sneak me into the nearest bathroom once she feels more outgoing [63]. What I mean by that is her bringing any comic book starring me with her. Would she care to be the narrative designer for a sequel to my own game [2] [94]? Stay tuned, motherf**kers!” [107]

Ummm…Wade. May I please be unhandcuffed and such now?

“Yes, you may, my dear. Just in time after this article gets published. Don’t you dare run away from me after I untie you and undo your handcuffs! I still wanna be your big red teddy bear voiced by Ryan Reynolds tonight [29]. You know, just in case those 2020 blues haunt you [100]. I have a massage gun, especially for your shoulders. Thank f**k we’re almost free from COVID-19. I think it’s safe for you and your man to kiss again. Do that privately when it’s his turn, okay?” [39]
