#alteringworldscapes

This goes for either the more traditional Halloween fun times (just stuff like costumes and/or trick-or-treating, horror movies, etc.), or the sexier kind of Halloween fun times. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I really do want to do a Halloween SIGNALIS doodle! Like Elster and Ariane getting dressed up (werewolf and witch, maybe?) to watch spooky movies, or play a spooky game, just having a fun time!

Maddie doesn't help with that, because she actually enables and encourages Ladon to keep doing that, especially towards certain stuck-up people working within either Monarch or for some governments.

Godzilla swears that the two's shared antics together will make him age faster and give him even more gray scales than he already has.

And now, this makes me wonder, assuming that Maddie's relationship with Shin and Leo remain unchanged for the most part, what would her relationship be like with Ladon this time? I ask this since I remember in those older posts, Maddie loves all of them, but she is closest with Junior to the point they're like partners-in-crime together, and since Ladon in here takes more after Minus One Godzilla in terms of temperament and sheer hatred towards humans, I don't know if he'd ever be able to stand being around Maddie or be able to forgive humans long enough for him to get close to her on a similar level.

I mentioned this since while I don't mind current Ladon and I think he does have a lot of story potential, I'll admit that I do miss Junior.

Oh, the days when Goji's clone son was a chaotic little gremlin brother figure to Maddie... though, if memory serves me right, I probably might've treated those early Junior Posts like fun little gags like the omakes seen in manga; not necessarily canon, but it has the vibe to happen in canon. Or something like that.

The poor thing even whimpers like a dog as it's getting eaten by Kong here. And the cartoon itself shows that it's a harmless animal that doesn't even bother humans.

So going by Twitter logic, this would mean that just like how Godzilla is supposedly a worse tyrant than Skar King, then Kong is just a filthy dog eater. (Disclaimer: I don't actually believe that lol, I know Kong is a more nuanced character than this one scene shows. Just framing this in a way to show just how ridiculous those takes about Godzilla actually sound like if you apply the same thing to their favorite ape too.)

AS A (former) DOG OWNING PERSON—

Though it might be just me, but I get the feeling that Godzilla not having a major role in this one might turn out to be a blessing in disguise later on. Because oof, Kong's model looks kinda rough there.

At the very least, Tiamat seems to be in the game too, so we'll just have to wait and see. That said, I definitely don't expect this game to win any awards any time soon lol

Licensed games are going to be a mixed bag in terms of quality anyway, so that sounds about right. The best ones I've played were Godzilla: The Series on Game Boy Color and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King on GameCube. The former I remember being fun once I figured out how to beat the first boss, and the latter's a great game, though the Gandalf levels were frustrating as hell and Aragorn had a tendency to YELL HIS LINES. Also, imagine Sam and Frodo slaughtering waves of orcs at Pelennor Fields, 'cause you could do that. I miss that game.

Granted, Kong's not looking his best here, but I don't really mind that. I always preferred a stylized art direction over hyper-photorealistic graphics in video games (I'll take Dragon Age 2 over Inquisition any day) and thanks to The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, I find that janky graphics can be charming. Plus, I can excuse how a game looks as long as I have fun playing it, which is really the more important factor to me. That being said, I also expect the gameplay to have its share of jank, because not every licensed game is going to be on the same level as RotK or PS4 Spidey.
