I was so blown away by this stunning manga page that I had to color it. Bonus abalone-only version.

So, a whole bunch of movie/anime art leaks: Armored Mewtwo and Dada Zarude!

The Rotom Dex (could have probably gone in the Alola pile, but Ash and the other XY kids were there 😅

Concept art for MSBE, going by the 3D look for James/Misty/Ash.

Hoopa's bottle and Unbound form.

A bunch of Zygarde sheets. Special mention to Zygarde dragging people around by putting a leash on them.

Sir Aaron and the soldiers from the Lucario movie!

The princess from the Volcanion movie. Always liked her outfit, so cool to get a better look at it.

Carlita from the Victini movie (she had the Hydreigon.)

Pokemon The Power of Us concept art! Gorgeous!

Pokémon the Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution (2019) dir. Motonori Sakakibara

[cosmermaid]

Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution was an unnecessary cash grab to you. I however appreciate every opportunity to obsess over Mewtwo's aesthetic tastes and design choices inside his castle.

[spiritofrainbursts]

Ya’ll do not understand the literal dopamine that rushes through my brain every time I go back to rewatch the first Pokemon movie.

From the old school animation to the slap ass movie variation of the Pokemon theme to the kick ass Soundtrack to all the cute Pokémon noises to the Vikings from Minnesota to Mewtwo himself, this movie is my entire ass childhood man! 😭 I don’t care if it’s a little corny and a bit weak in some places! 😤

I LOVE THIS MOVIE!

Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back EVOLUTION...in Japanese?!

While browsing Netflix one day, I came upon the movie Mewtwo Strikes Back EVOLUTION: a remake of the first Pokémon movie originally from the late 90s. Out of curiosity, I decided to look at the language settings to see what was available, and was surprised to see Japanese audio among the options. This is a fairly big deal because the US release of the first movie never came with Japanese as an…

I prefer the OG armor.

On Mewtwo’s Armor...

In Mewtwo Strikes Back (1998), Giovanni has Mewtwo wear a suit of power-suppressing armor under the front that it’s focusing his abilities (English language version). Mewtwo sits in a cell when not battling or undergoing Team Rocket operations so that his armor can charge via an excess of wires and cables. Here’s what the original MSB armor looks like:

(via Dogasu’s Backpack)

Rad af. Here’s the first glimpse of Mewtwo’s redesigned armor in Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution (2019):

Pretty intense! …but what’s all that other stuff going on around him? Is that part of the suit of armor? Or is it part of the charging station he has to sit in?

Having Mewtwo’s armor tethered by a myriad of charging cables and chains made sense back in the ‘90s. Everything was wired. Super analog time, A+, would recommend. They also gave off the look of a puppet being pulled by strings, which is a great visual metaphor for Mewtwo’s relationship with Giovanni. Additionally, the T-helmet with the blacked out visor was a huge indicator of badassery back then – it was a big staple of insanely proficient assassin-type characters who were Bad but not necessarily the Big Bad. (Looking at you, Boba Fett, Vile, Predator, etc.)

However, it seems they’ve done away with the old look…which isn’t necessarily a terrible thing. With today’s wireless tech, perhaps OLM Digital felt they needed to update the armor’s look to match the times. And the new armor’s sheer bulk looks pretty darn restrictive in and of itself. (Seriously, how would you move in that thing?). Plus, the new details on the helmet give off big Man in the Iron Mask vibes, which is also a pretty great metaphor for Mewtwo’s thralldom to Team Rocket.

Of course, perhaps the only reason it’s been redesigned is to simply sell more merchandise. Or some kind of tie-in for the upcoming Pokemon Sword and Shield games. Or all of the above. I DUNNO.

Obviously in time we’ll get a better look at Mewtwo’s new TR duds, but what do you think so far? What are your thoughts and opinions on Mewtwo’s original and redesigned armor?

Designing a Pokemon

Stepping outside her comfort zone, Nicola tried her hand at drawing creatures for a project that called for illustrating a three part Pokémon evolutionary line. This learning process included watching movies and lots of sketching #MarywoodArt #Animation

For my Animation for the Illustrator class, we were tasked with designing a three part Pokémon evolutionary line. To prepare, we watched the first Pokémon movie, Pokémon: The First Movie – Mewtwo Strikes Back. Technically, there are three segments to this movie: Pikachu’s Vacation (which was added later and appears unrelated to the main plot), Origin of Mewtwo (which was also added later), and…

And to make us all feel old, Pokémon Black and White came out 14yrs ago in Japan today. What the fuck.
