Ask Lyra

Please don’t. I can’t get you anything back. And you already got me that gift package/gift card for Hearth’s Warming.

There was a little while where I could gift games to others, and that felt great! Turns out I shouldn’t even have been doing that back then.

Thanks! Yeah I try not to make a big deal about it anymore.

Oh! But I did get the new Kirby game! Haven’t beat it yet, but it’s pretty good!

Also was gifted Chroma Squad on Steam! Which looks amazing! I haven’t had the chance to play it yet because of this event in ESO that’s been taking up all my free time (but is giving me tons of cosmetics). But I’m looking forward to it!

Thanks again, @mikedaws0n!

Ribbon: So… That new school of Twilight’s looks… lovely.

Lyra: Ugh… As if the castle wasn’t enough of an eyesore.

Ribbon: Well, at least it’s for a good cause.

Bon-Bon: Twilight had quite a bit of trouble getting the doors to stay open.

Ribbon: So I heard. It’s a shame how the EEA caused such a ruckus. Behavior like that is what starts conflict.

Lyra: Really? You’re one-hundred percent on board with an international school of friendship?

Ribbon: Hmm? Oh certainly. We’re lucky so many other nations are willing to participate.
Bon-Bon: Wait for it…
Ribbon: It’s the perfect opportunity to elevate these other species away from their antiquated traditions.
Bon-Bon: There it is.
Ribbon: Did you know Hippogriffs don’t even have a standardized currency? An established society like theirs? You’d only expect something so backwards from Yaks or Dragons.

Bon-Bon: It continuously amazes me how you can manage to be in the right, yet do so for all the wrong reasons.

Ribbon: Oh dear Bonnie. If you didn’t come to the same, financially-profitable conclusion you’re simply not being creative enough.

So… I just saw the ReBoot reboot trailer via The Forgotten History of Reboot and…

First of all, I liked Code Lyoko. I watched it a bunch. It was a fantastic show. It did a lot of things very well. But, I also watched ReBoot. It was a fantastic show. It did a lot of things very well.

However, ReBoot and Code Lyoko have ZERO analogs between each other. Even trying to say they’re both video game shows is like saying the original Super Friends is similar to Teen Titans. Nothing! Not the tone, not the stakes, not the characters- Nothing about them were similar! Code Lyoko was basically a high school drama with action, that gradually leaned more and more on the action. ReBoot was a comedy/action with consequences, and that ultimately took the show down a more mature path.

So… How do you turn ReBoot into a bargain-bin Code Lyoko? Was it an accident? Can that even be an accident?

Usually I ignore it, but I do get upset sometimes at things like this. I get angry, or sad, or disappointed. But right now I’m disgusted. Someone woke up one day and decided to ruin a license, one that wasn’t even very well known, and for what? There can’t be any money in this, at least not any more than a new franchise would have made without disgracing an old one.

Jolteon: Jolteon! Jo-jolt! Jolteon-on jo-jolt. Jolte-e-eon! Jolteon!

Miltank: Miltank!

Jolteon: Ooooo… lteon.
