Six Fan Arts Entry 2


Author's Note: This is a sequel to my first #SixFanArts Challenge comic.

Characters in this #SixFanArts Challenge Entry: Gold Fall Guy (Fall Guys), Tobrac (World of Warcraft, specifically the WowCraft videos by CarbotAnimations), Ugandan Knuckles (Sonic the Hedgehog), Mr Hot Dog (BurgerTime), Mr Game and Watch (Creamed Spinach Color) (Game and Watch), Sukapon (Joy Mech Fight).

If a regular Fall Guy wasn't good enough, how about a Gold Fall Guy wearing a gold crown?

For those wondering who Tobrac is, he is the orc OC in the CarbotAnimations WowCraft YouTube videos. His name comes from the reversed name for Carbot.

Remember Ugandan Knuckles? He is basically Knuckles with accents reminiscent of the Ugandan film "Who Killed Captain Alex?" by Wakaliwood.

As the first and most basic of the three main enemies in BurgerTime, Mr Hot Dog needs no explanation.

In the Super Smash Bros series, one of Mr Game and Watch's recolors is reminiscent of the original Game Boy's screen, which was ridiculed by Sega in a Game Gear advertisement titled "Creamed Spinach Color".

For those wondering who Sukapon is, he is the main protagonist of the forgotten Famicom game Joy Mech Fight. His popularity, however, only began to skyrocket when he appeared as an Assist Trophy in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and long before that, Sukapon was the most requested miscellaneous Nintendo character for inclusion in Super Smash Bros Melee.

How To End A Great Series


There was an old saying "All good things come to an end". Sometimes, we need to end a great video game series before the fanbase turns toxic, like in the cases of Sonic, Warcraft and Pokemon.

To be fair and honest, thwarting the Burning Legion was futile, since the Void Lords always win. Due to the campaign to boycott Blizzard over somebody's suspension because he speaks for freedom and justice, the only merciful thing to do for the Warcraft series right now is for the Void Lords to devour Azeroth and bring World of Warcraft to an end so everybody can get back to their lives.

The Pokemon Sword and Shield controversy over omitted Pokemon is a possible sign that the Pokemon fanbase has also turned toxic. However, there is a way to rectify everything. There had been theories over a war that took place before Generation 1, as well as theories about Silph Co being the true villain of Pokemon and not the criminal gangs that seek to cause trouble. From my point of view, the reason the gangs of organised crime seek to cause trouble, even pursue world domination, is because their villainy was motivated by the fact they wish to overthrow Silph Co. But they have always failed because a low intelligence hero foiled their plans. Perhaps if Ash could gather his friends and foes to fight against Silph Co in a final battle similar to Avengers: Endgame, the Pokemon fanbase would finally get the ending for the Pokemon anime that they wished for, even if Ash perishes at the end, because it will have to end with Silph Co vanquished at the end.

All the clues about the Toads' true identity could finally add up. While the mystery of the Toads may remain unsolved, not everyone is deterred by that. The existence of parasitic toadstools that destroys its hosts will be one of the biggest game changers. If the Toads turn out to be an anthropomorphic species of parasitic toadstool, this could justify Bowser's villainy in the Super Mario series. Given that Bowser has a heroic side that has him confront villains nastier than him, he could have been fighting a losing battle against a sinister parasite since 1985, and that could have been our fault. The only reason the parasite has not truly won yet was that it had been stymied by the Toads' incompetence. Should the parasite finally infect everybody, nobody will survive its destructive power, not even Waluigi.

Should General Morden finally win after years of defeats, he will not restart the Holocaust, but instead he will pull a Nick Fury and expose the Regular Army's leaders for the corrupt crooks that they had been since the Central Park terror attacks that killed his son. But like most SNK villains, he was doomed to perish. Yet he will tell the Metal Slug heroes that he wanted to get rid of the corrupt officials who caused his son's death. This could be the plot twist that will bring the Metal Slug series to an end because the corrupt bureaucrats who General Morden sought to bring to justice had been getting away unpunished for years, and our heroes finally turn against them upon learning who the true villain of the Metal Slug series had been all along.

Update: The Ash Ketchum Arc has officially ended, and it ended with "Next Time, A New Beginning". However, it left me disappointed over a few things. If Silph Co was a greater evil than the criminal gangs, why hasn't there been a hero who will rise to overthrow Silph Co? I guess justice is a theme Pokemon will not cover...

An Overdue Blizzcon Announcement


Not even Doctor Strange would be able to find a single outcome in the Warcraft series where the Void Lords finally get defeated.

If people who wish to quit World of Warcraft have a genuine reason to quit the game (other than cutting costs, boycotting Blizzard for disqualifying Hearthstone tournament winners who are willing to stand up for democracy, Activision's bad management, etc.), it would be the sad realization that not one outcome, not even a single what if scenario, end with the Void Lords being defeated by anybody.

This would mean that if it was confirmed that the Dark Titan Sargeras did actually win when he stabbed Silithus, then his victory would actually be a hollow one, because the Void Lords always win, and not even the what if scenarios where the bad guys win will do anything to prevent the Void Lords from winning at the end. In other words, the Burning Legion's campaign to take over Azeroth was doomed from the start. Even if the Burning Legion won, which they actually did, thanks to Sargeras stabbing Silithus, their victory will be short-lived, because they will have to deal with the Void Lords themselves, and defeat at the hands of the Void Lords will be inevitable.

Imagine if somebody were to make this important revelation at Blizzcon about analyzing millions of outcomes in the Warcraft series, and every one of them ended with the Void Lords winning, how will everybody attending Blizzcon react to this announcement?

In other words, well played, Chris Metzen.
