Summer 2024 is the time of hailing Deadpool and Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the newly released film they have finally debuted dynamically together [11]. Aside from two suggestively designed Xbox Series X|S controllers based on Deadpool and Wolverine’s rears, there are a few other gaming-related promotions. Aside from how I personally believe that Deadpool & Wolverine is going to be one of the highest-grossing films of 2024 besides Inside Out 2 as its goal to make thirty-five-million dollars from the Thursday night preview showings is a sign of that theory [12] [36] [72], I see some good from each of these following promotions for players. After being creeped out by the 20^th anniversary celebration of the Salad Fingersseries [19], being cuted out by a new wave of mini Helluva Boss plushies [32], seeing a sign of Shadow the Hedgehog’s side of the story in the forthcoming remaster of Sonic Generations and tittering at Jack Sparrow being chased in a cinematic short [21] [69], we shall discuss the promotional events in Marvel Snap, Marvel Strike Force and Marvel Future Fights [46] [47] [48] [56] [60] [61 along with their appearances near the fourth season of the fifth chapter of Fortnite: Battle Royale [26] [34].

"The Deadster is back on the big screen, y’all [11] [40] [43]! During another shoulder massage session to help Laura relax after the hard work she put into her fifth article on marketing antics of my new movie [76], I whispered to her seductively in my Ryan Reynolds voice, “Laurapop, the article we did is awesome, but we missed the opportunity to mention my domination and diner in Marvel Snap [50] [56] [57] [59], my pool party in Marvel Strike Force and the update in Marvel Future Fights [46] [47] [48] [61]. Don’t get stressed out over it though, my candy crumpet. We can discuss them in a separate article for your gaming-related blog. I’m proud of you, Princess.”. What? I gotta keep her motivated without overworking her, don’t I? I let her take a break,so that she can do a pretty cool manicure inspired by Logan and I before getting her ass back to work.” [60]

“And c’mon, reader! Laura’s not THAT obsessed with me if you know what I mean [8] [68]! I’m still a coping mechanism for her and if you have a problem with that, screw you and damn you! Oh wait. We gotta remain professional when it comes to video game journalism. Not that it has always been with notorious examples of infamy like “Too much water!” and hit pieces that were pretty uncalled for [39], but please understand that my little Laurapop works hard and tries her best! Trust me, I know from experience in working with her [75] [78] [83], yet I still need to discipline her as she still tends to tease me about my “tastes” in green suits and music [9]. Currently, I’m gonna have to discipline those who spill spoilers without making disclaimers first [41]. And now, keep scrolling for all the information she provides!“ [43]

I am quite starstruck at the animated promo for the Deadpool Domination event in Marvel Snap [56]. It is bewildering to see a half-naked Wade furiously questioning the whereabouts of his trailer and attacking the television quite ballistically as another Wade in a noticeably different art style hosts what appears to be an advertisement in his own cooking show. At least Wolverine showed up to tell the half-naked Wade to calm down. Of course, this is not the first time I have been amazed at the manly mutate in an excellently animated Marvel Snap promo starring Deadpool as the drastically changing art styles of him, Ghost Rider and Squirrel Girl within the announcement of the game becoming available on PC nearly a year ago [58] [82]. Moreover, the Deadpool in a similar style to the animation in Cuphead makes a cameo in the Deadpool Domination promo as a bachelor in a dating show [56] [58] [82]. And who can forget Jeffy’s adorable cameo too? Kudos to ItsGuestGaming for explaining how to play Deadpool’s Diner, a new mode that is only around for a limited time as it will be concluded on the 6^th of August but is still another interesting way to help promote the frenemies’ debut in the MCU [11] [49] [54] [55].

“Laura’s probably thinking, ‘Wow. And I thought Bruce Banner had anger issues…[62]”. Well, at least my mask didn’t turn green when I was being animated [9] [56]. Aaaaaand I just contradicted myself as the Hulk on Twitter…or X if you consider it like a goddamn, no good, dirty ex-spouse [76].” [56]

“Shout-out to Miss Gwenpool for being featured as well [56]! Look at all the neat new card variants [51] [52] [53]! Copycat looks fine on hers [60]! How many bubs did you get if you have participated in the temporary mode yet [57] [59], reader? Be sure to tune into the Deadpool League event and Jeff Week throughout this August [49]!” [50] [60]

Deadpool’s MCU suit and Wolverine’s MCU suit have appeared in a new update for Marvel Future Fights that was showcased in a livestream a few days ago [45] [48]. The frenemies are classified as Tier-4 warriors [47]. Since Cassandra Nova is one of the antagonists of Deadpool & Wolverine, she is a Tier-3 villain in the update [46] [47]. Oh my! Another version of Wade from another universe with a face and hair as elegantly manly as Thor’s is known as “Handsomepool” and kind of brings on a Handsome Squidward vibe if you love SpongeBob SquarePants memes [38] [48]. And let us not forget about Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Jubilee and Dazzler as participants [47], yet I believe that Warhead’s is the most valid as she has been a supporting role in the Deadpool films since the first one [9] [10]. I recall the update that promoted the merc’s Nerdy 30^th back in 2021 which featured him in a black mafia suit and its white counterpart [75] [78]. This year, an update for the game is a pretty swell way to promote the merc’s well-served threequel as he has been a competent fighter in Marvel games since his appearance in Marvel: Ultimate Alliance back in 2005 [29].

“Don’t even think about it hitting on the writer of the article you have been mentioned in, Handsomepool! She’s MY little Laurapop! Go and find your own in your own universe! Oh, alright! We can share her. I’ll let you kiss her hand…while Ryan happily sits on my face [37].” [48]

The masked rascal has a pool party with some of his co-stars, including his daughter Deathpool in Marvel Strike Force that, unfortunately, gets crashed by Juggernaut [61]. Another guest at the crashed pool party is Pandapool who treats himself to an ice cream resembling the main merc’s mask. And yes, it is not another gaming-related promotion for Deadpool & Wolverine without Logan [11]. Just like in Marvel Future Fights, Handsomepool is a brand-new fighter who (obviously) has a similar skill in wielding katanas [48] [61]. The promo for an update for Marvel Strike Force promoting Deadpool & Wolverine is quite a rehash of the advert for the game that also promoted the Super Duper cut of Deadpool 2 [1] [61]. Perhaps if there were to be a video game (possibly developed by Insomniac Games) starring Deadpool for the PlayStation 5 with a much more effective plot after the success of Wolverine’s upcoming game [32] [81], Deathpool could be a new supporting character and gain some depth beyond being a fighter in Marvel Strike Force as she aims to follow her father’s footsteps [83]. As for Handsomepool, he will probably tell a version of me from his own universe to call him [48] [61].

“Yeah, yeah. Go ahead and accuse me of being jealous of Handsomepool [48]. As for Pandapool, he’s pretty cool [61]. I’m still proud of my deathly baby girl on the left [83]! She’s not gonna believe that I finally met THE Mario from those video games and Wolverine slayed some oversized turtle’s ass [16]!” [61]

Shortly after our newly bloomed infatuations with Marvel’s merc with a mouth in a new Tim Hortons advert and two new popcorn buckets promoting his new movie co-starring his frenemy at Cinemark [66] [76], a few signs of him wreaking havoc in the world of Fortnite for the second time popped up on its official Twitter/X account [23] [24] [25] [27]. A short clip of a specific location featured a voice that sounded a lot like Ryan Reynolds, much to my surprise and suspicion [23]. Two days later, the skins of the two healable antiheroes in a new style that looks cel-shaded and is referred to as “Pen & Ink” were revealed [26] [34] [67], which makes their returns to Fortnite: Battle Royale even fresher aside from them wearing their MCU suits [11]. Even though it is understandable to declare that Fortnite’s over-reliance on crossovers has affected its originality [21], I would still love to see Lara Croft, the beauty, brawn and brains of the Tomb Raider franchise appear in the world of Fortnite for the second time in her outfit from Rise of the Tomb Raider in the next chapter or two [70] [84]. In the meantime, a Fortnite fighter can also train with Lloyd from The LEGO Ninjago Movie in LEGO Islands if they have unlocked the Battle Area map with the revealed code as Wolverine remains his usual hard-nosed and brutal self in his third appearance [28] [71].

“I’m quite an artist [23], aren’t I? Wolvie and I can also be played as in Fortnite Festival and Rocket Racing [34]! I bet you can’t wait for our next round in Battle Royale [30]! Look how awesome we look as Youtooz figures and how cute we are as Funko POP! figures too [44] [86]! Hopefully, I won’t have to use a magazine as toilet paper this time…or will I [20]?” [23]

In conclusion, these four promotions are more proof of the marketing of Deadpool & Wolverine being the red and yellow equivalent of the ambitious marketing of Barbie: The Movie from last year [11] [50] [79]. I suspect that the possible appearances of Wade and Logan in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Call of Duty: Warzone 3.0 and Call of Duty Warzone Mobile that have been speculated to occur have been delayed to currently let our comrades focus more on certain stars of WWE making an appearance, most notably Rhea Ripley, especially for fans of WWE [2] [6] [77]. In the meantime, we can reflect on how spectacular the drone show dedicated to Deadpool & Wolverine at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con was and hail the new glittery Lady Deadpool Funko Pop! figure [41] [63]. Aside from how delighted I will be to see Deadpool & Wolverine with my fiancé after a four-year wait [76], I strongly believe that the manly mutate’s video game from 2013 and 2015 deserves a reboot that maintains its credibility in terms of gameplay and humour but provides the core reason why he is a jokester in the first place within a much more effective storyline sometime after the launch and reception of Wolverine’s upcoming game [32] [64] [78] [81]. A special thanks to Christian Buckett for the lovely response to my article on my experience at the National Videogame Museum in Sheffield and a special thanks to Wade Wilson for his participation [3] [80].

"You’re welcome, Laura, my little muffin crumb! Care to be the narrative designer of an unofficial reboot of my video game that was quite a hit over a decade ago or at least a visual novel starring your favourite manly mutate [32] [80]? I’ll let you focus on your wedding first. As for my movie, I have been so emotional about the concept we have all waited for about four years finally becoming a reality (if you Pixar fans out there know what I mean [33]) [43] [76]! I sure watched my language in this one. Well, mostly.” [56]

“And before you ask, yes, I had a blast at Disneyland Paris…and I got a job as a storyteller at Disneyland in California [5] [13] [15] [75]! The alleged lawsuit against Ryan may sound crazy [17], but I am flattered to be Taylor’s godkid’s sperm donor [14]. Adios for now, reader! And remember, note that people can take spoilers WAY too seriously and that Laura is NOT fond of the idea of writing for TMZ [4] [7] [15] [73]. She’s thinking of finally getting into Minecraft though [65]! I’ll join her [84]! Now, I’d better go and see who needs to carnal nerve exam next [72]...” [47]

A Couple Of Cartoon Crazes In Gaming In August And September 2023

Disclaimer:
This is a listicle that features one upcoming game that contains strong cartoon violence, including blood and gore, according to its announcement trailer. Reader discretion is advised.
 
Exceptionally done cartoon styles can balance out many deceptions of realism in the gaming industry as we continue to delve into forms of imaginativeness to help us forget the troubles real life can hurl at us. Earlier this month, we were starstruck at the studio-themed stage in the third DLC pack for Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope co-starring Rayman, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles kicking butt in Minecraft and the third season of Disney Speedstorm featuring Lilo & Stitch characters [76] [77]. I may miss 2013, the year of Luigi from the Super Mario franchise who is usually Player 2 [49], considering how I am still in a constant state of fear due to ongoing hatefulness and discouragements [14] [66] [75], but I am more than delighted to express my thoughts on some recent or upcoming events as there will always be some form of a coping mechanism when we cannot help but miss the simpler times yet understand the importance of productivity. Besides, customising an Xbox Wireless and Elite Series 2 controller sounds like a dream come true for an artistic Xbox player [84]. Speaking of artistic value, let us list a few more cartoon crazes that were all revealed almost a week ago before the beginning of the second Summer tour in Mario Kart Tour [52].

Aside from newly released wireless Xbox controllers encased in Mineral and Arctic-coloured camo patterns [19], we all know that a Barbie would go for a lovely pink palette for her own Xbox controller in Barbie Land as there were some giveaways proudly presenting a Barbie-themed Xbox Series S console and a pack of faceplates for the controller they came with during the marketing for Barbie: The Movie [4] [79] [80]. Without further ado, let us tune into a recent gaming event and what two others await us this September aside from how we need to stay cautious in the new crossover between Cult of the Lamb and Don’t Starve this week [29]. [84]

Let us start with a collaboration between Fall Guys and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that came out of its shell [18]. The designs of new costumes are based on the designs of Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael and Michelangelo in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem [56] [69], quite like how a crossover event in Candy Crush Saga helped promote Barbie: The Movie a month ago [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]. Unfortunately, like Fortnite, Fall Guys could be receiving some flak for relying on permissions to use popular intellectual properties for collaborative events too often to stay hip and relevant as Fall Guys also collaborated with:

•       Tomb Raider a while ago [70]
•       Bomberman two years ago [20]
•       Ratchet & Clank two years ago [60]
•       Sonic the Hedgehog last year [21]

On a lighter note, the collaboration with four heroic turtles is a quirky association with marketing a film my fiancé and I went to see and enjoyed for various reasons [56] [69]. The event will be concluded at the end of this month, which will be the same time the Dimension Shellshock DLC pack for TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge will be released [51], along withAdventure Time: Fionna and Cake on Max [43]. I guess I could become April O’Neil’s co-host if I keep up the great work [69]. 

Teenaged Costumed Ninja Fall Guys! Teenaged Costumed Ninja Fall Guys! Teenaged Costumed Ninja Fall Guys! Run and dodge in cosplay! Fall Guy Power! [18]

Plenty of 2000s teens may recall a series of adorable animals who, unfortunately, get killed or gruesomely mutilated in shocking ways so often to the point of getting banned from airing in Russia in 2009 [46] [67] [68]. During the beginning of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles event in Fall Guys [18], The Crackpet Show: Happy Tree Friends Edition was revealed [83].Up to four players can shoot projectiles at enemies, which appear to be grotesque-looking alien-like creatures and deformed animal-like mutants. Well, it is a crossover edition of The Crackpet Show, a zany shoot-em-up game from Vixa Games that was released on Steam in late 2021 [64] [65], then on consoles in late 2022 and is pretty gory as well with examples of crude humour as shown in its console release trailer [22] [23]. It will be a war between cutely designed animals and crudely designed enemies that will show that not all anthropomorphic animals are aimed at kids [46] [83], pretty much like how Strays has recently shown that a film starring talking dogs can be R-rated in a zany manner [71] [72]. There will be havoc to wreck in the Happy Tree Friends edition of The Crackpet Show this September [83]. Better not let PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals) find out [17]!

What could be next? A Helluva Boss edition of The Crackpet Show with Blitzo, Moxxie, Mille, Loona and Stolas in a chibi style inspired by certain merchandise [3] [44] [45]? The crossover between Happy Tree Friends and The Crackpet Show is sure to be another hectic thrill ride after fans of cartoony horror aim to survive the crossover between Cult of the Lamb and Don’t Starve [29] [83]. [83]

By the power of censorship, let us turn all this blood into ink, quite like a certain change that happened in the Japanese version of Shadow of the Tomb Raider [13]! Also announced during the reveal of yet another third-party collaboration in Fall Guys [18], some new content for Splatoon 3 will be featured during the second Drizzle Season [50], much like how our inklings beheld the first Drizzle Season almost a year ago [24]. Crableg Captial and Shipshape Cargo Co. seem like the perfect new places for a colourful civil war, especially with one inkling or octoling with a new work suit firing huge spurts of ink with Dread Wingers and another launching a long stream of ink with a Heavy Edit Splatling [50]. There will also be a new wave of gear, along with the return of the Salmon Run gear from Splatoon 2 to stylise your warrior [24]. Just like last year, the Drizzle Season will collide with the conclusion of Summer [24] [25]. Aside from another season in Splatoon 3, our Nintendo nerds can also jump, swim, glide and roller-skate through a new age in Super Mario Bros. Wonder this October and merge themselves in creative motion controls throughout each microgame they will feel like a part of in WarioWare: Move It! this November [53] [54].

After the Drizzle Season’s launch on the 1st of September, a new Splatfest with Shiver, Frye and Big Man as nominees for the “best leader” will commence on the 9^th [25]. [50]

All three events were revealed during the launches of Dust & Neon, Die After Sunset, Quantum Recharged and the demo version of Born of Bread [57] [58] [59] [81], along with the release of the official trailer for Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake [43], which shows that proactivity is flourishing in the gaming industry and so on, despite some hardships and protests [30] [74]. For every delayed event [2], there is always some current excitement to seek elsewhere as a certain red-masked merc’s latest comic book series has progressed with the tenth issue of Deadpool (Vol, 9) out tomorrow aside from Deadpool 3 being put on hold during the SAGAFTRA strikes in Hollywood [27] [32] [38] [39] [40] [74]. There will also be some new interactive adventures that await us in 2024, including Promenade, South Park: Snow Day! and Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop [61] [63] [82]. In the meantime, we can continue to put our skills to the test and look forward to even more cartoon crazes in gaming and outside of it later this year [5], such as Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, The Smurfs 2: The Prisoner of the Green Stone, the fifth chapter of My Little Pony: Make Your Mark [47] [48] [62]. After some craziness within four noble ninja turtles’ honour in Fall Guys [18], prepare for the second Drizzle Season in Splatoon 3 and even more craziness in The Crackpet Show: Happy Tree Friends [50] [83]. 

“Hi there, all you amazing, beautiful readers! Some of you may recall Laura suggesting that I can take a vacation to Kenada during the halt of Deadpool 3’s production in her second article on how a follow-up to the Barbie movie could go [80]. And guess what? I gave it a shot! From one good-looking actor named “Ryan” to another [4] [15] [16]! I do not regret hijacking Barbie Quinn’s car from Forza Horizon 5 and Warner Bros. near the end of it [73] [79]! Coincidentally enough, there were two series of official Barbie comics from Marvel around the time I made my debut [33] [34] [35] [36] [78]! Thank you for this seemingly unneeded, but deeply appreciated cameo, my little Laurapop! This is a highly ambitious crossover like Avengers: Infinity War if you ask me [1]! Speaking of crossovers, Daddy’s thinking of joining the Guardians of the Galaxy...and he’ll see if Astronaut Barbie would like to become a member too [4] [28], but she’ll probably make all of us wear pink suits, especially on Wednesdays...which is fine by Lovepool [55] [40] [41]. Ummmm...this is a listicle on a video game journalism blog, right? Well, looks like I'd better get back to playing Call Of Beauty with Lara Croft! Love you all to death, nerds! Don’t forget to check out my Badder Blood series too if you’re interested [37]! Or...mark me as spam or whatever. Cheerio!” [41]

You are very welcome, Deadpool! Off you go before you get marked as spam. The 17^th of August was quite a memorable day of game launches and announcements. Despite how I had no choice but to stop posting on X a month ago [80], I deeply appreciate all who take time to read an article of mine and I wish them all the best [11] [31]. Speaking of appreciation, let us wish the best for Charles Martinet after his retirement from voicing Nintendo’s iconic red-hatted plumber, his brother and their antiheroic counterparts [12] [26]. Thank you very much for your dedication, Mr. Martinet. [52]
