Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 868 Joined: 16 Jul 2009     | Another great episode worth waiting for. I have to say There Will Be Brawl is my second favorite thing on here besides ZP. What you guys have done with this and how you have brought it out is just so brilliant. You all deserve a medal for all the work you put in. |

AMAZING cast ... AMAZING crew. Will be sad when it ends but, we are all a tight knit group so I'm sure you will be seeing more from everyone involved. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 216 Joined: 23 Nov 2009    | December, COME TO ME! lol that was really good and thrilling. Wouldn't be crazy if the fried remains of Kirby were actually Meta Knight's fried remains and Kirby was actually still alive? |

Going to insert myself into this little interview *Nudge* Any ideas for what your next series might be? |
Paperboy  Posts: 12 Joined: 5 Jul 2009   | 10:31 is epic win. |
Paperboy Posts: 11 Joined: 22 May 2009  | what is the possibility that Meta-Knight is the butcher? he is essentially a blue kirby with a sword and a mask. so shouldnt he be able to do all the same crap that kirby can? and he spends all his time watching kirby, who has a very hannibal lecter logic, which can prolly do some major mind games...also he would be able to open all of the cages. and finally hes still alive, they wrote him off as vanished, which simply means gone for a few episodes. any ideas? |

If I did know, I probably still wouldn't tell ya. A woman is more sexy when she's a bit mysterious. ;) |
Paperboy  Posts: 11 Joined: 4 Nov 2008 | God I love this series. With the Gamer & Watch clones it makes me wonder if they're following the subspace emissary plot. I hope not. While I hope to see the master hand near the top of the chain (not puppet master, no offense but he's more of an image than a character and a final battle with him would be pretty empty) I really hope all this buildup doesn't lead to a showdown with Tabuu. He was alright as a challenging boss fight at the end of the single player quest, but he lacks the deep roots in video game history that this series is built around. Without him I don't know how an army of Gamer & Watch clones were created, but having a showdown with him would lack and emotional resonance, more of a "FEAR ME, For I Am Powerful", than "Here is an examination of your life and mistakes that took you from a happy children' hero to the bitter shell of a man you are today and how it was your own fault, so be demoralied while I beat your head in" kind of thing I'm hoping for. I want the endgame to be as engrossing as everything else they've put out, showing our childhood fantasy world under the harsh light of reality and examining the tragic paths our heroes were set on as a result. One last thing is I really wish they could have included more of Ness or Lucas. I appreciate the nonspeaking cameo, but if you look at what either of those children have been through in the plot of their own games you don't to add anything for them to fit into the world. You have two creepy psychic children who have been through mind breaking trauma and conditioned towards violence actions. Japan has built an entire industry over the creepy paranormal child idea. It would work in There Will Be Brawl, I just wish we got to see it. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 114 Joined: 27 Mar 2009  | Loved the K.K. cameo, it put the cherry on the cake for me :) Amazing ep, the ending was so sad! :( I got a little confused in a couple places, but thats probably since I don't recap on the last episode before diving into the new one :P Can't wait for the last ep. Sad it's almost over :( |

....damn tease. Anyway, I've thoroughly enjoyed this series, can't wait for the grand finale. You are all terrific actors and your writers are top-notch, I hope to see more from you guys in the future. :) |

Right there with you. With the deaths and departures this episode I'm sure that if Link was supposed to be gone he'd be out. We're defiantly going to see him next episode. It may be for a death scene, or he might release a fairy, gear up, and head out on the warpath like the hero we know he is. Quadruple extra points to infinity if he hooks up with Midna before joining the brothers Mario. |

I was hoping I Could get a question in regarding the performances? When you take on something like this (a cultural icon for gamers) where do you draw inspiration for the character? Did you go back to the games of the tie in works, or did you draw from more contemporary sources? Your take on Samus is the freshest I've ever seen so I've been wondering how you put it together. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1498 Joined: 16 Dec 2008    | Just watched the whole series, now I must see the conclusion!!! |

Wow, thanks for all the awesome questions guys. For me, because this is set in a different "world" than the one that Miyamoto created for us, I didn't draw too much from the original character, aside from obvious traits. Yes, Samus is a badass bounty hunter. She is also a stripper but I felt that there was so much more to her than that. She's a hardened business woman but you can see that she honestly cares about other people and it isn't just about herself. There is a deep connection to Luigi, P.T. A deep hatred for PIT. These were all things that, along with the amazing Z.G. writing skills, were things that I really tried to capture with Samus. Keep the questions coming! I'm sure the other cast members lurking (hey guys! /waves) would be happy to answer as well. |

That's known as a Warp Flute, found in the game Super Mario Bros. 3. It allowed players to warp to different worlds. |

Paperboy  Posts: 46 Joined: 19 Mar 2009   | I'm going to mix references here for maximum horribleness. First the obvious, Waluigi is pants on head retarded and it is absolutely ridiculous that Wario would use him like that. So if you want us to officially hate Wario and hope for his quick demise your attempt was super effective. Second, Bowser was nailed very well, exceeded my expectations, I am now fully appoint with your show. Third, YAY!!! for a Gannon reappearance! Favorite character in the show by a mile. I'd say I can't wait for the final episode, but that would be lying, I waited for this one successfully, odds are good I'll survive to see the next one. Keep being awesome. EDIT: Yay for being comment 100, nice number, the only thing more awesome would be if I had been comment 128. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3346 Joined: 24 Aug 2009 |
More questions eh? Alright. Who makes the costumes for the show? Do you guys make them yourselves or do you pay someone outside to make them? Are there any costumes that are your favorites? Any that you dislike or thought needed improvement? |
Paperboy  Posts: 50 Joined: 29 Jul 2009   | Fucking amazing. The best series on the Escapist. I'm saddened that this is all coming to an end, but I'm still damn excited for episode 10. (Also, it seems to me that Power Suited Samus is the only playable character who hasn't appeared yet. Pretty please?) EDIT: Oh, and Escapist video editors...STOP WITH THE DAMN CENSORING. It's stupid. You show Zero Punctuation. The word 'fuck' isn't' censored on the forums. There is no point for this. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2425 Joined: 25 Dec 2008 | Well. That was epic to say the least. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1765 Joined: 13 Aug 2009 | Wow that was just awesome, one of the most compelling, and I'll confess that the ending brought me to tears, what a sad ending. |
