The kerfluffle over the Mighty Number Nine trailer was weird

It's the first time I've seen nerds react with strong negativity to something that was supposed to be for them insulting them.

You are not gonna make me feel bad about thinking that the Mighty #9 trailer was the dumbest thing I've ever seen on this earth.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-30 00:42:41

It was maybe the single worst piece of media I've ever seen.

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-30 00:43:44

"Jane you're exaggerating" yes but not that much and that's the scary part.

TitleName · 2016-07-30 00:44:20

That trailer was pretty dumb to put it mildly.

i wasn't going to watch it or pay this controversy, of which i was previously not aware, any attention whatsoever, but now i'm curious

Tachyon · 2016-07-30 00:47:29

Honestly that makes all the focus on that one single line worse.

Especially because "And I know you like that combo on combo action" was way worse

Odradek · 2016-07-30 00:51:29

And I'm not complaining about people complaining about that, I'm complaining that they never, ever do that elsewhere, unless it has to do with whatever stupid nerd culture war is happening at the moment

Tachyon · 2016-07-30 00:51:48

which line?

Salix Babylonika · 2016-07-30 00:52:50

"Make the bad guys cry like an anime fan on prom night"

which mind you is just by itself an unbelieveably bad piece of writing.

Bee · 2016-07-30 00:55:13

Holy wow I watched a different trailer than you guys

I mean the one I saw was mediocre but I don't remember THAT

Tachyon · 2016-07-30 00:57:16

oh lol

it was a silly 'edgy' line, but so were all the other lines

it did stand out to me but only for sounding like it was written a decade ago

TitleName · 2016-07-30 00:57:59

It is perpetually 1996 over at their offices.

I loved that line. It's hilariously silly.

Odradek · 2016-07-30 00:59:47

I feel like I'm watching the commercials during Toonami in 2005 when I see this

Bee · 2016-07-30 01:01:09

HAHA OH WOW

I just saw the one you're talking about. That was pretty awful. Like, early-90s bad.

Tachyon · 2016-07-30 01:03:28

i will say, by the end of it i was grinning from ear to ear, so that's a point in its favour

Bee · 2016-07-30 01:04:49

I mean I'm not offended so much as, like, wtf were they thinking

I get that the whole point of the game is to nostalgia bomb the 90s but we could've left pretty much all of that part behind.

no offense but why do the explosions in Mighty No. 9 look like extremely cheap pizza pic.twitter.com/RkrRL19YJC

i'm pretty sure the intention was exactly that cheesy boy-machismo from the 90s and 00s
