Re: Episode 3 is UP UP AND AWAY

So, I've watched episode three five times now and have my thoughts in order. Aside from absolutely everything being AMAZING, I really think that the writing that went into this deserves special mention. The script is clever, classy, stylish as hell, fits the characters like a glove, and is delivered perfectly. It kind of goes without saying at this point, but damn, you guys have this down.

Also, you guys are the only people I have EVER seen that make Ganon look good. Not to beat a dead horse, but that is a serious accomplishment. No one else is even in the same ballpark.

Every female lead that's been introduced so far has been amazing. I was a little dissapointed to see Samus as a stripper at first, but her performance was so awesome that it became irrelevant as soon as her dialogue started.

Luigi, Red, and Mario continue to maintain their standards of kick ass-ness. Luigi is just brilliant, and his soliloquies are always a highlight. Red is hilarious. Nuff said. I'd like to see some more of Mario, though, even though the funk he's in was a real mood setter for the episode.

If Mario (since Luigi would know better at this point) burst into Bowser's stronghold, demanding to know where the Princess is, and someone answered "I'm sorry, your princess is in another castle," my head would explode from the insane levels of epic. Just saying.

This MUST happen.

Dude, you have NO idea how encouraging that is to hear. I can't speak for Paul (Mario) or Kyle (PT), but I really stress out about portraying the character Zach and Matt have created to the best of my ability. So, thanks so much man.

I will also say that Paul wasn't acting in that first scene...he was actually drunk and depressed...women, right? farao

Mario: Where'a My Peech!?
Toad Guard:I'm Sorry, BRO, but your "princess" is in another castle. After bowser turned G- Bhudist, we don't steal princesses anymore. We steal evil minds and then have a 48 hour straight meditation session. Never before has the Feng Shui in this castle been better!

Love the new episode, I'm so envious of such a large group of talented people putting all this together. Smile

Keep up the good work!

Sexy, amazing, jawdrop-inducing, and homosexual all at the same time. Lovin' it.

Who made the Samus helmet/cannon? Matt?

I speak only the truth. Everyone involved in this has been phenomenal.

Looks liek I was a little late to the party, buuuuut

BRILLIANT! This was the best episode yet. Total props for whoever played Samus, and the Tingle's Gay club has to have been my favorite location yet. The Marth/Ike gay joke was obligatory, but was interested with how you stepped it up with GW and Barbera making cameos, and Pit and Falcon romance was very lulzworthy.

My favorite character thus far is Falcon, who was better than I ever could have imagined. I would love to be able to show him my moves. farao

Hmmm, yes, episode 3 is out, and I have to say...IT HAD SERIOUS MOVES!!!

Seriously though, it was an excellent episode, at least on the same level as the past two, if not better. Quite a bit of new characters added, but also some new characterization for the old standbys. I especially enjoyed the portrayal of Luigi slipping more and more into the classic film noir detective, with his "shake the tree, see what falls" line and the addition of an old flame, femme fatale Samus.

Also, it appears that my prediction about Mario severely violating another character's personal space once per episode is right on track, as even pill-popping and shame-induced shave were not enough to stop Mario from getting all up in Luigi's grill about who the culprit was. Bonus points are also awarded because the first thing that Wario asks about upon seeing Luigi is whether his brother is around; you know that you've got a pretty good rep when a mob man who runs a fight club trembles in fear just because he saw your brother and thought that you might be near...

Fans of Mario getting up in peoples' grills will have a serious treat in a couple episodes.

Nah i'm gonna have Poochy be a character and get his ass whupped.

I watched the episode again and one thing left me wondering...why has Bowser become a buddhist? Is there some joke or reference I don't get?

If there is a season 2 of BRAWL, I want it to be called "Super Mario Gets All Up In Your Grill."

Dude, Mario getting in peoples' grills is an understatement! That sequence is BEYOND a serious treat...it's the kind of Treat Jesus would feed you if Jesus got in peoples' grills... I love Mercer and Grafton so much for coming up with that scene. You hear that Matt and Zach, I announced my love for you online, which is tantamount to announcing it from the highest mountain.

All that to say, Brawl fans, make sure you don't miss that episode. Super Epic. Beyond Epic. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. So awesome. I'm smiling just thinking about seeing it...
