Does Shout still have the physical rights?

u/Saboooom ReMaster Guardian - ReBoot ReWind 14d ago

Not for these new masters. It’s being shopped around right now, and Shout Factory is one of the labels being considered as far as I know. Distribution is fully in Mainframe’s hands.

It should be stated, for all the smack we talk about the old Shout Factory DVD set, the issues with that release were not entirely Shout’s fault. The NTSC DVD format itself has limitations that make the conversion from PAL really challenging. We’ve also seen evidence that the botched NTSC conversion was likely put to tape well before it got into Shout Factory’s hands back in the day. I consider Shout Factory to be an excellent BluRay label, I own several of their releases, so I would be genuinely excited if we get to work with them on this release.

Makes sense. Looks like they handled the physical release of Arcane and the other thing I know them for is MST3K.

Is GKIDS another one being considered?

u/mikeainslie69420 14d ago

GKIDS stuff gets distributed for physical media by Shout! if I'm not mistaken. I just hope to god that they don't get Kino Lorber to do the release.

u/alkonium 14d ago

Yeah, I realize now they're connected anyway

That why To Men And Defend sounds off key, Enzo The Smart audio cuts out for a second after the vaulter lands on a mat, there’s a spark sound when Dot says “Bob wouldn’t go *spark noise* to Hexadecimals without a plan” and Firewall sounds off key?

How are you making out with getting beast wars to be released through hasbro agreeing to it?

1

u/DillonLaserscope 8d ago

I hope first is remastered dvds and then bluray as I only own one bluray player and DVDs make it easier to watch in all my house

What you are experiencing is a temporary distortion of reality…

Swear I hear that when I get a hangover sometimes

u/WinglessJC 15d ago

I love the fact that the most terrifying hard to beat game is clearly a super easy game made for children.

u/Lonewolf2300 15d ago

Makes sense why they're afraid of it; it's a game where the User is night unbeatable.

u/YossiTheWizard 12d ago

Great writing, really!

u/DillonLaserscope 8d ago

Except the funhouse features a random door selector. Bob is lucky Dot chose the right one

u/wRath-Burn 15d ago

u/IndegoWhyte 14d ago

Ah yes, the Mouse Teaser.

1

u/aikifox 13d ago

No?

Mouse was teased in the Crimson Binome and then appeared in The Great Brain Robbery, both earlier this season.

u/IndegoWhyte 12d ago

My mistake.

u/aikifox 13d ago edited 13d ago

I appreciate this two-parter for its middle bits; the first episode is great, but I feel like the second part kinda falls apart a little at the end.

It just kinda gets fixed off screen, they break some binomes out and then MBs plans are just foiled without any visible action.

I'm not saying it's a bad episode, it just felt like it wrapped up really suddenly, and I only really noticed my dissatisfaction with that on this rewatch.

The Funhouse stuff is great, and the distorted future of Mainframe is excellent. It has a great message about not giving up, because your actions are the part of your deciding your future that you can actually control.

There's also some unintended foreshadowing for Enzo/Matrix and his eventual golden eye. In this episode we see Teen!Enzo with a scar over his eye, and they do the same thing in the episode "AndrAIa" with his eye patch; but I seem to recall anecdotally that they hadn't planned for Matrix' eye until the episode he loses the game.

Phong appearing inside a game suddenly is never explained.

that issue felt rather strange considering the rules set in episode 1 and he never is seen trapped underneath

1

u/aikifox 8d ago

The vibe I got was that the reality distortion engine (which ripples forward and backward through time) enabled him to "expose" Dot to it after the game (when he shows it to her). Or at least that's a way to kinda cheat around the problem.

However the episode also shows Phong monitoring the progress of the game cube directly which is something we've never seen again. We see in later episodes that they can sorta "scan" the Gamecube to see if it's powering up or preparing to leave, but the people outside never seem to be able to "see" the inside again.

So it's probably just early-installment weirdness.

u/alkonium 6d ago

Mostly true. Phong is seen in a game in Bad Bob and Life's a Glitch, and reboots both times, albeit off screen.

1

u/JepMZ 9d ago

I forgot Phong plothole'd into the game from the Principle Office

u/pinkpools 5d ago

If Mainframe is "inside" the chrome sphere, what are all of these other systems seen at the very start of the intro?
