Mario is forgotten...
Who is Mario?
Spider-GOD.
>>750899148Duh, mario is a manchild icon.
>>750899148>MarioI'm afraid it's been 10 years...
Is being popular among literal toddlers the only thing Sonicfags can use as a trump card?
>>750899148>SonicThose kids will be diagnosed with autism in the next 10 or more years
>>750899148It's always been Sonic > Mario, not surprised
>>750899295Settle down cucky Peter!
>>750899148Why does every male, no matter what race or age, love this nigga?
>>750899148Mario needs to have games for kids to play them.
>>750900086Most relatable hero in the whole catalogue of heroes. Spideynigga having everyday problems like a high schooler or as an adult has always been a huge plus for people who read or watched anything Spider-man.
>>750900086We are all struggling niggas who hate our bosses and want to come home to our supportive super model redhead wife
>>750900598its not the games, sonic movies are very popular with kids.for some reason mario movies did not catch on
>>750900086Spiderman is just the realest real nigga that's ever been real, simple as.
>>750899148Who cares what boys aged 3 to 8 think? fucking creep.
>>750900714Spider-Man is boring to me as a character, he's just too safe. I like his abilities though. Always preferred Hulk and Bruce Banner over Spider-Man and prefer him even more to a greater degree when I grew up and began reading his comics. Pic related.
>>750900714How is Spider-man relatable?>Chad who can't decide which Stacy to bang>granted superhuman strength>hides his face and wears spandex>shoots cum out of his wrists>famous freelance photographer
Man the amount of horny perverted trannies that are going to come out of this generation is going to be wild.
>>750899482You jest but every kid I have encountered over the past 5 years has been woefully autistic and out of touch with basic human interaction.
>>750900086I can't stand him. He's a huge faggot and his girlfriend ruins everything all the time. Such an ungrateful bitch. Everyone I know that prefers Spider-Man is a hardcore leftist that pushes all this gay feminist shit on video games too. Spider-Man is for girly low-test men that want to ogle his twink body and fantasize about being bitched at by his evil retard girlfriend.
>>750902512If people read Hulk comics more they would find him more relatable.
>>750902512>why does the loser guy get the things people want in real life, thats not relatable!autism
>>750899482literally every kid is autistic on some level nowadaysgenuinely worrisome outcome honestly
>>750899148Why aren’t people buying the games then? Why are Persona and Yakuza more reliable money makers for Sega?
>>750902824>his girlfriend ruins everything all the timeThey used to write MJ as a loving supportive wife.
hell YEAH SPIDERMAN!!!
>>750903154>Maria merchwhat?
>>750903217The general sentiment towards Sonic isGames suckEvery other multimedia with his face does not suck
>>750903278>Spiderman walking past a fridge several times and even lingering with his back to it while I know he gets mauled by it some time in the gameThis is a horror webm.
>>750899148Sonic has always been a cool character, autism surrounding him aside, and nintendo doesn't allow Mario to be cool or interesting. I'd be surprised if Mario was in any kid's top 10
>>750903341Doesn’t even come with bullet holes, what a joke.
Why yes, I put Sonic in my top 10, how could you tell?
>>750903947Kirby was always cooler than Mario anyway, his cuteness hiding a versatile god killer doesn’t get enough love with normies.
>>750899987
Sonic is bigger than he's ever been thanks to the movies and other things, faggots on 4chan continue to deny this like always.
>One More DayBeing undone as we speak.
>>750900086no group within the last 100 years has won more than jewish americans
>>750904714They're still not getting back together.
>>750904504cool that's why the mario movie wasn't as big as the sonic movie?
>>750900086I dont love him
>>750899148What being emasculated in the movies by girlbosses does to a mother fucker
>>750899987Paul is dead now, poor guy.Imagine being created for the sole reason of making everyone hate you for getting in the protagonist's way.
>>750905101Actually Paul faked his death and retired to sunny Acapulco.
>>750899148Genuinely, why the fuck haven't they released more Mario games? Or games in general? Are all the Switch 2 "must-buy games" still in production, or are they never coming?
>>750904806They created 90% of what's good in popular culture.
Kids don't like Spider-Man. They like Spidey.
>>750905163I really hope so. In any other context than being the guy created to cuck Peter, he makes for a very interesting character.>Dad becomes the god of Death>You helped him get there because you love your father>Now everyone's dead except you, and you have to keep running forever>Finally escape to another dimension where dad was defeated>Spend your time trying to locate all the people you wronged in your dimension and make it up to them somehow
>>750899148Mario's games are fun but he was never a very appealing character
>>750905319>let some bastard half-alien kid live with you because his mom is dead, his dad can't be bothered, and his other dad is secretly bonded to your girlfriend>the little shit ultimately gets you killed by a supervillainPaul should have just let S.C.A.R. keep the little shit.
>>750900086I don't pay you to ask questions, boy! Now get out there and bring me more pictures of Spiderman before I throw your ass out on the cold streets!
>>750905631Who's this kid you refer to?
>>750905776Already got one, boss.
>>750899148Why is Sonic in quotes?
>>750900086He's the only super hero that feels human. He has just the right mix of powers where he's cool as fuck but not overpowered. He's just the best no matter how hard they try to replace him with niggerman
>>750905909Dylan Brock, Eddie, Anne and Venom's son. And this is the way he treated the man who was generous enough to give him a home when his dad was off being a symbiote god and his only other option was the bastard offspring of Area 51 and Gitmo.
>>750902929Nobody wants to read comics. The vast majority of them, even for good characters, are complete garbage. Spiderman is popular because his adaptations were good. All of hulks sucked balls.
>>750905991Sonic's real name is "Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog"An anon wouldn't lie to you
>>750906093Those imaginary kids are part of why Paul is so welcoming to orphans.Why did Dylan wind up with him and not with his buddie Normie and Liz? They have the money for an extra kid.>>750906093
>>750903278Insomniacs version of spiderman is so trash. You only get stuff like this when the people making it hate the source material. Same thing with wolverine.
>>750906257Because they're both symbiote hosts too so obviously S.C.A.R. wouldn't let them have the ingrate, if I remember correctly.
why the fuck would anyone like mario as a character?he's literally a manifestation of an effeminate millennial søyboy
>>750906510Memespewing nigger
kids don't know who mario is because they won't put him in fortnite
>>750906510Can you repeat that in english please?
>>750899148The thing about Mario that no one says is this, he will never be a cool character. He's a fat midget with a effeminate sounding voice. Conceptually Mario is uncool, and making Mario a cuck in Mario Odyssey doesn't help.
>>750906843cocky want boing boing.
>>750906979“Coolness” only matters to literal children and marketers.
>>750906401>S.C.A.R.Who TF is SCAR? Is that the new SHIELD or something, like HAMMER was a while back?The whole Paul Rabin debacle made me quit comics for a time, so I'm not up to date on current storylines.
>>750906979>Conceptually Mario is uncoolMario isn't just cool... HE'S FUCKIN BALLIN!!!!!!!
>>750904504GigaChad Sonic
>>750907332The Symbiote Containment and Rendition Department, basically ICE for symbiotes. Doc Ock worked for them for a New York minute. (HA!)
>>750907461Who runs it? Who's behind it?It make sense that Marvel Earth is finally paying attention to the ever increasing number of symbiotes, but where's the agency tracking down all the Skrulls? Those guys actually made war on Earth multiple times.
>>750907578>Who runs it?Flash Thompson, at the moment. He was working with them to make sure the symbiotes are safely returned to space instead of killed (and also negotiated the deal that had Dylan live with MJ and Paul), and then the previous leaders (Doc Ock and some bitch called Ripcord) got themselves arrested for supervillainy and Flash was put in charge.>Who's behind it?The US Government, it was founded after Venom War.>It make sense that Marvel Earth is finally paying attention to the ever increasing number of symbiotes, but where's the agency tracking down all the Skrulls? Those guys actually made war on Earth multiple times.Marvel people are never consistent about who they hate. Case in point, the contrast between how mutants and mutates are treated.
>>750899148Cool. Now how has that been translating to sales beyond the movies?
>>750900086This is gonna be a bit wordy so I'll put a TL:DR at the bottomSpider-Man is when you break him down to his core components a combination of both Superman and Batman. Peter has no bio parents like Clark and Bruce. Peter is a photographer at the Bugle, Clark is a reporter at the Daily Planet. Spider-Man has a scary bug as his nomenclature Batman has a scary Bat as his. Spider-Man wears bright red and blue pajamas just like Superman. Peter is super smart and a gadget based hero just like Batman. Spider-Mans villains are all combos of Superman and Batman villains for example Norman Osborne/Green Goblin is Lex and Joker combined. Spider-Man and Batman both have guilt driven motives and were both present at the death of their respective family members.The big twist with Spider-Man is that he's not beloved by his city and constantly struggles with his down to earth personal life and lack of money, Spider-Man isn't an idealism like Superman and Batman he's an aspiration to be good in the face of your own shortcomings. There's a saying about DC and Marvel that goes "DC is gods trying to be human and Marvel is humans trying to be gods." I believe that holds true for Spider-Man. TL:DR Peter is Batman and Superman if they had regular people problems.
>>750906013Miles is a fucking hilarious subject because they introduced as a Spider man black Americans can identify with despite the fact that Peter Parkers struggles reflect a lower income America that most blacks are part ofThen theres fucking Miles>Super gifted student because uhh HE JUST IS>Gets all kinds of higher education thrown on his lap, Peter had to work his ass off to go to college >Lives in a nice apartment, has no job and no money struggles since his parents make good money, hell his dad is a fucking cop>Is immediately respected by every fucking hero in Marvel, the moment he shows black skin the public loves him, contrast to Peter who fights constantly to keep his reputation up>Everything he has is a hand me down from Peter, his villians, his costume, his fucking GF is Pete's used goods>Is never expected to excell, he gets all kinds of new powers like swords and electricity handed out of nowhere.And even with all of that, i still see more black kids walk around in Peters Spider man merch.You really cant buy fame
>>750909634Miles is the fucking worst in the comics, movie version and the game version before 2 were fine if not good but comics Miles? What a fucking Bendis Mary Sue he is.You think Bendis gave Miles all of Venoms and Mayhems powers cuz he's black?
>>750900086>>750900714>>750900768>>750906013>>750909372And what about kids like around 5 years old or younger that have no idea how the world works and still gravitate towards him? My guess is that his bright colors and simple, yet recognizable design appeal to kids. And I guess they find swinging around and shooting webs cooler than straight up flying and shooting lasers.
>>750910632Spider-Man has been noted as having the most perfect costume design of all time. Much like Sonic it is extremely versatile and customizable.
>>750910632He always gets the best cartoons and toys in Marvel, so that is probably why.
>>750899370Nintendo's entire business has been built on bringing in young kids and keeping them in not unlike Disney. In fact, this was a big reason Reggie said Nintendo needed to expand to grandma because the pipeline of young boys was declining due to population decline. If Mario is being beat by Sonic its not a good sign for their long term prospects. Though, you could argue Nintendo is in the same trap Disney is where they have an aging user base that spends a lot of money (for now) but there is no one else coming in.
>>750911023Nintendo wants to be Disney in media and Apple in tech.
>>750910919And why does he get the best toys and cartoons? Spider-Man is the most successfully organic character ever made, he debuted in a comic that was about to be cancelled for fuck's sake.
>>750905183That last one. Nintendo has a bad habit of front loading their releases and then the back half is a few third party games (if the console is successful) and the filler titles. If you look at what's come out and who made them, we already have the biggest hitters>Mario Kart is already out>Zelda team made the OoT remake>Mario team made Bananza>Sakurai did Kirby Air RidersIts going to take another 3-4 years to get those teams to make something new assuming they make something new on Switch 2 at all. The Mario Kart and Odyssey guys were absent all generation and Sakurai just did Smash (though this time there is no DLC for Air Riders). Even Splatoon is going to be a while since they just released Raiders. Animal Crossing is the only one left so it depends how much you care about that. If you don't care about online or the portability aspect (assuming you don't have like a Deck or something) just pirate Switch 2.
>>750911115Yes but the problem is where Disney is good about bringing young girls in, Nintendo has focused on young boys. Nintendo competes with a lot of brands in a way Disney doesn't. That said, they are running into the same problems Disney had. There was an story about Bog Iger going to a parade in Hong Kong and he lamented that all of the Disney shit was either old Disney shit or Pixar. Eventually he went on a spending spree and bought a bunch of IPs to try and fill the holes which had mixed results. Nintendo will probably do that to once they realize that all they have is their old shit and Pokemon.
>>750899482More like they already have. Over 90% of Gen Alpha boys are autistic.
>>750911584Animal Crossing is huge with women, so is Pokemon.
>>750900086I don't. I hate all capeshit and I think every capeshit fan is a subhuman retard.
>>750911857Switch 2 is too expensive for women to get into it.
>>750911928Switch 2 costs about as much as a day at the salon
>>750911865>hate capeshit>Spider-Man has no cape
>>750899370Pretty soon it'll be the only noteworthy thing Sonic will even have, his games have already taken backseat to the movies, comics and merch (latter far more than already usual) safe to say that one post saying "prepare for Multimedia Sonic replacing Game Sonic" came true. Sonic is now just Sanrio for boys, or Doraemon for westerners.
What good is any of that if the games still suck
>>750913038This. It's worse because now there's even less incentive to improve now that it's hit Pokemon popularity, just ask Pokefags.
>>750913038that doesn't matter as long as it's popular. It's the EA/Pokemon/LoL defense
>>750899148ENTER
>>750899370Mario not having a proper game in over a decade and his movies being retarded tier is starting to take its toll. I actually see a lot of kids wearing Sonic shirts and plushies nowadays, even moreso than Pokemon somehow.
>>750907934>Marvel people are never consistent about who they hate. Case in point, the contrast between how mutants and mutates are treated.It's been pretty consistent. They hate mutants, they love Inhumans, and mutates and other supers are fine as long as they're not masked and their identities aren't secret.
>>750909634Miles one saving grace is that his arch-enemies who aren't hand me downs from Peter are pic related and a Palestinian who he stole a scholarship from.
This is extremely disturbing news. They need to closely monitor any kid who picked Sonic before they turn into brain damaged autistic retards.
>>750899148Meanwhile in the real world Shitnic the glitchog fails to beat even Kirby in sales.
>>750899568This, Mario games are better but he is kinda lame, Sonic is cool regardless of his bad games and fanbase
>>750903217Yup. Even Totalwar was better at making money that him and even they are on the brink.>>750903545Very, very wrong.
>>750899295Its incredible this character is so popular after how shit his comics, tv shows, and movies have been since the 2000's
>>750909372SPIDER-MAN WAS NOT PRESENT WHEN HIS UNCLE DIED
>>750899148>Boys' Kids
>>750910632cool action figure man go whoosh on web
>>750902151>for some reason mario movies did not catch onbecause Illusion movies barely qualify as movies
>>750902151The Mario movies are incredibly popular with kids though. I was going through a toy catalog with my niece last week and she got more excited opening the page with all the Mario toys than any other page.
>>750900086Venom is 100% a better character, and symbiotes are way more interesting. But literally every game has to be around Spiderman or his infinite derivatives and it's annoying.
>>750913305You uh... interact with a lot of children?
Mario only appeals to man children and literal infants. Boys want something cooler. Especially in the 6 to 11 age group, last thing they want is overtly kiddy shit like mario.
>>750915123That tends to happen in you live in a populated area and go outside.
>>750915309Mario appeals to all ages
My 3-year-old nephew loves Sonic. It's weird because Sonic was already bad when I was a kid. I think he knows him exclusively through Youtube videos.
What personality does Mario have? Being a blank slate holds him back.
>>750915430it's the movies. the movies are dogshit but appeal to kids and they massively revitalized the franchise
>>750915914if only the games could keep up. i'd be massively embarrassed if i was sega and had the current iteration of sonic team. fuck i've been embarrassed of them for a quarter century
>>750913305I would rather Mario die a video game character than become a multimedia whore like Sanic.
>>750916054He just had two movies released, tons of merchandise and no new games, too late
>>750916092Didn’t a Mario Kart game just come out?
>>750916163Ah yeah, but it is Mario Kart and it is inferior to its predecessor so it kinda doesn't count
>>750899987He's gonna start fucking Jean Grey now
>>750916163Yes, competing with a Sonic kart racer. They're still in the same anything-but-mainline-games boat.
>>750899148yahoo is still kicking?
>>750916054Mario already is a multimedia whore
>>750900086Real answer? He's on a whole different level. It's not a simple >ughhh I hate my life and I suffer a lot, just like Spider-Man!
>>750916054This. Sonic is hardly seen as a video game franchise anymore, at this point sonic is just paramount movies and crossover slop now
>>750899148>The survey
Sonic's popularity might seem strong now, but it is running on fumes. They've been getting by on referencing its most popular era, yet they're incapable of making something new to build off it. Even Shadow the Hedgehog had more original ideas in its bones than Shadow Generations.
>>750919097liar!https://finance.yahoo.com/media-advertising/articles/movie-tv-characters-gen-alpha-123900486.html
>>750915982sega is sonics worst enemy
but have the kids taken the Surge pill yet?
lmao insane that Sonic of all things from the 90s is still so popular.
Any good vibe codes of the older games?
>>750919251>>750899148Pretty crazy that Mario is still #7 despite not being a very cool character at all.
>>750899148hmm, why didn't they used broccoli hair Spidey ?
>>750900086I'm not crazy about Spiderman, and I especially hate Spiderman self-inserters.
>>750919854having a simple design thats very appealing and easy to draw for kids does alot
>>750919314Kids don't read IDW, they barely read Archie
>>750900086>Why does every male,>Every maleNo. /co/ has a bunch of schizos that hate Spider-Man, but Spider-Man has a bunch of schizos that love him, so it even outs.
>>750905163https://desuarchive.org/co/search/image/N93ktOantLMnm09Os7k-8w/You need to let this go, blud.
>>750911023In fairness Nintendo is just kinda fucked because every developed country just refuses to have kids. However, population collapse is going to hurt every industry but it does directly hurt Nintendo in a more obvious way.
Sonic? Hell naw, Shadow Gens was okay but it was riding off nostalgia hard.I wish they'd go back to the Heroes formula again that might actually give me hope.If its Frontiers 2 count me out.
>>750915914The movies were great you contrarian nigher
>>750920626>I wish they'd go back to the Heroes formula againThings no sane person has said
>>750920640>great
sonic games would be better if they did literally anything besides whatever the fuck mainline is doing. Sonic hockey, sonic ssx tricky (again), sonic rpg, sonic custom robo, etc.
>>750920417>bunch of schizos that hate Spider-ManNo way they're not many. Gwenschizo, the guy who larps as him, this faggot >>750899987, maybe two other Paulniggerfaggots, MJwhorefaggot, two Milesniggers, some Death Battle niggers... fuck. This isn't an act, I thought they were less
>>750920801Sorry. After Crossworlds disappointing sales (Sega's own words), Sonic spin-offs gonna be stuck in mobileshit again. Which sucks since another Sonic RPG or a Sonic style Mario Party (Not Shuffle. I didn't like it) would be nice.
>>750899148Of course spider-man and Sonic are popular.That's not even surprising, they're the coolest motherfuckers out there.
>>750899482>implying they're not already diagnosed
>>750900086He's cool, his villians are cool, he's likable and he has a 10/10 design. It's that simple.
>>750920640for video game move adaptions they were decent which is a low bar to begin with
>>750899148Sonic CHADS vindicated once again. Mario fags stay coping JK you guys are alright.
>>750902824>Spider-Man is for girly low-test men that want to ogle his twink body and fantasize about being bitched at by his evil retard girlfriend.Nice bait.Comic Mary Jane up until 20 ish years ago was amazing supporting character and the version of Black Cat in the '90s cartoon was a femme fatale super soldier who went through a muscle growth sequence every time she suited up.Spider-Man always had cool bitches
>>750902151Because Miyamoto only has bad ideas now.
>>750919314Nobody likes bucket girl.
>>750919314Not yet.
>>750905319Hey that is cool, all I ever heard about this dude was him cucking Peter so they definitely should have cut that part and done something interesting with him.
>>750900086unironically goated moveset
>>750914809Only other illumination movie I have seen is Minions and that was nowhere near the level of rapid pace constant cuts to new things of the Mario movies.
>>750922317>Comic Mary Jane up until 20 ish years ago was amazing supporting characterbuddy give it a fucking rest. Mary Jane has been shit for longer than Norman Osborne was either A) Green Goblin or B) Dead
>>750899148Sega truly is a mentally ill company. Imagine how much bigger they would be if they actually chose to do right with the Sonic games. That alone could probably make them worth several more billions but they have constantly put out awful Sonic games.
>>750923036>for longernta but 4 decades nigger, 60s-90s. But whatever, it's never going to get good again so who cares
>>750910632While kids are retarded they can usually tell who's a good role model by the time they are 5
>>750923297>Sonic is popular>keep releasing shit games>Sonic is still popular Please think like them
>>750923420Good games would assure much stronger popularity and sales. This is why Nintendo started to get all sweaty with Palworld. You are foolish if you think otherwise.
>>750923297they need to get rid of Iizuka. he's getting senile with the retarded shit he's been saying the past couple years.
>>750919251It's crazy that Supes even places as he barely gets any kid friendly stuff for ages 3-8 nowadays.
>>750923297to be fair, nobody even knows what a good sonic game looks like anymore. Best they can do is s&k3 retreads and nostalgia for SA (which I'll never understand)
>>750923598I can only assume it must be from learn to read style books, phonics and stuff.
>>750923420Crossworlds and SonicxShadow are good
>>750923491>You are foolish if you think otherwise.I want some good Sonic games anon, but they wont make him more popular among alphas. Most of the Sonic content they're consuming is probably from Roblox and AI videos
>>750923631>nobody even knows what a good sonic game looks like anymore.Make a fun fast speed game with proper physics. There is nothing difficult here. Sonic Team just does not want to do this.
>>750911391>Zelda team made the OoT remakeIt's not the full team, like BotW/TotK's director isn't there. It's just another internal Nintendo team.
>>750923745>Most of the Sonic content they're consuming is probably from Roblox and AI videosWe are in some sad times. I didn't think about this.
>>750913305The issue with Mario is that they clearly thought Wonder would have made more of an impact, but it seems like it was mostly bought by old Mario fans.
>>750923779because they've never done this for 3d and that got old in 2d by the mid 00s. Even fans with all the time and autism in the world struggle to do this
>>750913038hey Spiderman 2 was great! it's one of my favorite PS2 games.
