The stage themes from V are really weird but really catchy for some reason.

[Dudeman]

I still don't understand how on earth you can put II above III overall. We shouldn't be judging potential here, we should be judging what was actually programmed into the games, and II is physically painful.

[blueflower999]

In fairness III has some physically painful parts too. II is just easy. III had parts that made me want to kill myself.

[LeviR.star]

III is severely lacking in original tunes; II's music was an octave too high most of the time, but the composer tried his darnedest to capture the essence of both 2 & 3's music, and he did a pretty good job, imo.

III is still a better game overall, I will agree.

I was talking about the soundtrack

[WaluigiTime64]

Well regardless of which one's better between the two, they're still miles below IV and V's soundtrack.

Pixar Movies, Ranked

Fantastic:
WALL-E (2008): do i even need to explain; it's beautiful and a work of art
Toy Story 3 (2010)
Coco (2017): Basically what Inside Out should've been.
The Incredibles (2004)
Up (2009): The best opening and by far one of the best Pixar villains. Essentially a story about a man who never fully got to live the life he wanted to live helping others be happy... how could you not love it?
Ratatouille (2007)
Toy Story (1995)
Toy Story 4 (2019)

Great:
Finding Nemo (2003)
Monsters, Inc. (2001)
Onward (2020): The trailers don't really do it justice. I like the setting, and it hits all the emotional beats you expect from a Pixar movie.
Luca (2021): Very charming and simple film. Doesn't do anything flashy or particularly complex, but that's not a bad thing. :3
Toy Story 2 (1999)
Turning Red (2022)
Soul (2020): Very good overall, but some plot elements feel a bit contrived, especially everything related to "the zone" and Moonwind.
Incredibles 2 (2018)

Good:
Inside Out (2015)
Finding Dory (2016)
Monsters University (2013)
Cars 3 (2017): Definitely the best of the Cars movies, because it has a decent plot and a fair amount of emotional investment. Also probably the funniest. The first 15 minutes of the film is actually really amazing.

Okay:
Brave (2012): Doesn't really seem like a Pixar film; it's fairly forgettable at times but it's pretty good overall.
The Good Dinosaur (2015): It's pretty much just a cowboy film with dinosaurs, which is, uh, something, but aside from that the film isn't really too compelling.
Cars 2 (2011): I like this one better than the first because of how out-there and unexpected it is. Cars is just kind of bland, but it's hard to hate a spy movie with cars.

Meh:
Cars (2006): It's ok, I guess, but it's not really compelling in any way.
A Bug's Life (1998): Nothing about this film does anything for me.

Haven't Seen
Lightyear (2022)
Elemental (2023)
Inside Out 2 (2024)

Will add more commentary and stuff eventually.

[LeviR.star]

BDS, I didn't have a list made already, but I must say that we have very similar opinions, because I wouldn't really change this list.

[BlackDragonSlayer]

I asked Jimmy John's to write a joke on the bag for delivery. They just wrote "Subway".

that's bold talk for somewhere with such mediocre sandwiches


Firehouse Subs > Jersey Mike's > Togo's > Which Wich > Subway > Jimmy John's > Quiznos


Firehouse Subs is A+, Subway is good, and Quiznos is bleh.

Why does the good dinosaur get such a bad rap/fly under the radar? It's a freaking fantastic movie

[WaluigiTime64]

For me it was darkness-induced audience apathy. Arlo was beaten up so hard I kinda detached myself from him and the movie as a whole.

Also I can't really describe this (because it's been ages since I've seen it), but it felt like something was missing in it.
