Look, we’ll be sincere right here, of us: This one is usually coming from the “Please get these intrusive ideas out of our head” division. We all know there’s plenty of information floating round in the present day, most of it being spewed from the large popular culture maw that’s Comedian-Con. However we want to not be the one individuals who have watched this trailer for upcoming online game Funko Fusion, i.e., the online game the place Funko variations of Scott Pilgrim and the forged of The Mummy can face off in opposition to Funko variations of Jean Jacket from Nope,and John Carpenter’s The Factor.
We’ve recognized concerning the sport for some time now, however by no means had its extremely bizarre mish-mash of Common-owned IPs rubbed in our face fairly like on this newest trailer. (Ignore all of the stuff with Clancy Brown and magic crowns and shit; do you know Funko Pops have a mascot who seems to be like Archie? We didn’t!)
We simply… can’t cease staring on the assembled listing of manufacturers being invoked, as Funko makes an attempt to Smash Bros. collectively M3GAN, Again To The Future, Sizzling Fuzz, the previous Battlestar Galactica, Chucky, and each different franchise they might pry out of Common’s fingers in service of… Properly, we don’t know. In all probability a riff on the Lego video video games, besides which characters who all look nearly totally equivalent besides for his or her completely different garments and hair. We admire the sheer audacity of the factor—Knight Rider! Invincible! Clearly 5 Nights At Freddy’s!—whereas additionally being unable to cease ourselves from looking at it prefer it’s The Terminal Level for contemporary popular culture’s obsession with the mash-up. It’s stunning and horrible, like trying into the attention of God, or being buried in time and area in a steadily accruing black gap made totally of discarded Funko Pops.
