But the Batman costume had a purpose behind it’s design. (and didn’t some of the late-'80s comics have a pure black outfit?)

Bats first got an all-black costume in the comics in the '90s.

Anyway I love the batsuit because it still embodies the comicbook feel.

I can live with it, but I still prefer the gray-with-black-trunks look.

Maybe it’s because I grew up with it, but I’ve always thought the ‘jet-black with yellow emblem/belt’ look is super cool.

I mean he’s just so darn cool!

I think the color variance of the trunks might actually work better in illustrated form though.

Or you know…you could recommend they switch to classic graphics when playing the SE. =P

SE Guybrush is an abomination that thankfully can be ignored with a button press.

All of the graphics in the SE are horrendous. All of the intricate detail created by the pixel art (including some very disturbing background imagery) is replaced with awful smeary digital paint crap that has zero fine detail.

I have not watched George of the Jungle in a while, but I just realized it’s a Tarzan clone. Tarzan and George are shockingly similar, and Ursula is obviously Jane.

I’m pretty sure it’s a parody. I don’t think it was trying to steel Tarzan’s thunder. At least not the movie, and I’m sure the cartoon series from the '60s is the same story.

Lol paja telling someone their opinion on culture is pathetic.

Not to mention that Red Green being on that list is far more concerning.

Mildly amusing, but great comedy it ain’t.

But great comedy it is. Not always smart comedy, but certainly well executed and very funny, and of course clever sometimes. It stayed on the air 15 years for a reason.
You wrong 😉.

Terrible DVD/Blu-ray Cover Art

His face flashes a greenish yellow but it’s never actually green, and the flowers don’t appear over his face. I find the intensity of the colors and the placement of the objects unpleasant to look at. Putting just his face over a colored and striped background from the sequence and putting the flower bit on the back without that staircase would be a better look.

They chose red and green because the entire film revolves around red and green.

I guess different tranfers make it look different. I went and rewatched the dream sequence to make sure I didn’t forget something and his face looked yellow, not grannysmith green.

The cover is just an amalgamation of everything that appears in that dream sequence, which I would argue is the most memorable scene of the film. Definitely the most surreal. However, I can’t argue your personal taste.

As I said before, the use of that sequence isn’t the problem. I described what I considered a better idea for portraying the imagery in a way that is pleasing to the eye. I don’t find the choices they made for that cover pleasing to the eye. But, as you say, personal taste.

So…disgusting?

I dunno. I don’t much care for cranberries, but the taste of black licorice’s grown on me.

You should bathe more often if that is the case. But harvest that licorice first, make some $ (or whatever you call it was j Canada)

Don’t you know? We use beaver pelts as currency.

Sounds better than that terrible plastic crap. 😛
