Jean Bison! For the Cooper Character Gauntlet on twitter! (or X LMAO)

The irony of Jean Bison owning trains and railroads when IRL the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad nearly led to the extinction of bison (in the U.S. not Canada where he resides but STILL)

From cold to warmth, Jean Bison really is living his life.

Another late piece for the coopercharactergauntlet . Still love that Bison reformed and became a hippie from his own accord. Love him.

"Are we going to overlook the fact that Jean Bison wants to make turtle soup out of Bentley if you lose the fight against him? Wouldn't this essentially be cannibalism, by their world's standards?"

Keeping Up With the Klaww Gang: who would be who? I need to know

AW SHIT 😭😂

I don’t know shit about keeping up with the Kardashians so this is just vibes and the very limited knowledge I have

Arpeggio (or the Contessa) as Kris (The Momager) and Jean Bison as Kaitlyn Jenner (fuck you. *transes your Jean Bison*) simply because them being an old married couple is practically canon and i think it'd be funniest. also out of all the members Jean and Arpeggio seem to be the oldest? or at least may have seniority? (or i just think that cuz they are like the last two members we face) just these three are the mom and dad most likely okay.

Rajan, Dimitri, and Neyla as the main three kardashian sisters, Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney. I don't really have any reasons for it except they are the last three of the klaww gang left.

this is the dumbest thing ive ever had to think about thank you. yall can feel free to add on or make corrections since my knowledge is very limited in regards to the kardashians.

*Rajan looking at how Sly dances*

Rajan: That fellow is very graceful

Jean Bison: If only you moved spice shipments as well

Rajan: Silence!

Sly 2: Band of Thieves

Let’s talk about Sexual Frustration as Dr M’s real motive

Ok this a big one but if there’s one thing i love about my degree is watching movies and reading books and then just saying that the reason the characters act the way they do is because they’re gay. I 100% think Dr Michael falls into that category.

Y’all have changed my mind about ConnEr like i’ve genuinely garnered so much hate for him at this point that it even extends to Sly. He is truly ConnEr’s son in some regards: in the way he treats his teammates and how he operates, or how his thrill-seeking stunts come at the expense of others’ frustration or worry. If we’re going by Dr Mauricio’s dialogue (with literally everyone), all these negative aspects must’ve come from ConnEr surely. Although we never meet ConnEr, Sly, as a reflection, is an indication of what he was like.

With that being established, let’s use Sly and Bentley’s dynamic in Sly 3 as a parallel to ConnEr and Dr Matthew: ConnEr is a dashing suave young man who assembles a band of thieves to help with his heists but little does he know one of them has a crush on him. In Matthew’s eyes, ConnEr is a form of masculinity he could never have. Just like Arpeggio, he’s a puny nerd with limited physical prowess. He relies on brains rather than brawn and that’s not appreciated in society. On the subject of society, I’m assuming at the time ConnEr’s gang was operating, Matthew coming out wouldn’t really be an option.

Dr Mario’s limited physical abilities and outcast status (which probably led him to a life of crime in the first place) leads to a romanticized “invasion of the bodysnatchers” moment, where he wants ConnEr in order to satisfy his frustrations. It’s territorial in its psychological root. If ConnEr was his boo he would do anything for him, especially the tasks that seem impossible to someone with Mario’s body. It’s the “nerd wants jock” archetype. Taking it a step further, Mario probably liked being neglected by ConnEr, in a submissive bottom way (even though, deep down, he always wanted to top ConnEr to really drive home the territorial aspect. I mean... why else would he spend so many years of his life trying to drill the Cooper hole Vault). ahem Yes, Mario enjoyed playing second fiddle to ConnEr because as long as ConnEr was the strong alpha male who led his team, it kept the dream real. Why else would Mario stay in the team? He longed for the heists that had him work closely with ConnEr, and ConnEr being the aloof idiot that he was never even considered the possibility that Mario wanted him.

It’s not until Sly’s mom entered the scene that Dr Mahershala really started losing his shit. She was the monkeywrench (lol) to his gay plans because she had him face the facts: that ConnEr never gave a shit about his teammates, that the crush was one-sided, and, worst of all, that ConnEr now belonged to someone else. The metaphorical ownership ceased and Mahershala must’ve been pissed to say the least. His pent-up sexual desires led to anger no doubt and that must’ve been the point in the timeline when the gang started breaking up. I’d even suggest that once ConnEr started dating Sly’s mom and things started getting serious between them, Mahershala came out to him and received backlash. Or, if we’re dead-set on painting ConnEr as the bad guy, he knocked up Sly’s mom and couldn’t get out of marriage, which drove Mahershala over the edge. If Mahershala confessed his true feelings in a desperate last attempt, ConnEr would have 100% shun him, rejected him and shamed him. That encounter could be the last encounter before ConnEr chose the domestic life, leaving Mahershala and McSweeney behind. Those two didn’t really mesh so everyone went their separate ways and Mahershala was so angry at how things turned out that his eternal grudge was born. Acquiring the deed to Kaine Island was like how some people steal underwear as a souvenir.

Flash-forward to the current timeline when he sees Sly trying to break into the Vault. To Dr Murphy, Sly is the living reminder that the love of his life chose someone else over him, the child of a man he loved and a woman he loathed. So, the immediate response is undoubtedly: destroy. Murphy sees himself in Bentley and tries to warn him without revealing too much because the pain of being rejected by ConnEr for being gay is too much to relive. The trauma that must’ve caused probably led to him not coming out to anyone else ever. He doesn’t want Bentley to repeat the past but Bentley’s doing his own thing or whatever the fuck. Then, when Murphy goes head-to-head with Murray, it’s clear that his grudge had him try to gain ConnEr’s physical prowess to fulfill those aforementioned desires. If ConnEr couldn’t satiate his weak body, he’d work out and become as tough as him. I mean, by the time Dr Murphy faces Sly and the Gang, he’s all three members combined: the brains he always had, McSweeney’s strength and ConnEr’s alpha masculinity. But even after acquiring that form of masculinity, he realised that in the end what he really wanted was ConnEr himself and nothing could ever fill that void.

Depending on the angle you see it (but also considering that now in my 3rd year of uni i’ve become an expert in slapping labels on fictional characters), we could even say that Bentley’s inner turmoil following A Flight of Fancy is pretty fruity. He’s not jealous that Penelope wants Sly instead of him, he’s mad that Penelope is out to steal his man. All he wants is for his shell’s holes to be filled ok i’m done now

Street Fighter

When the first Street Fighter film hit in 1994 (trailer) my hype level for it was through the roof! Fighting games were on fire in the arcade and 16-bit systems at the time, and Street Fighter II was still a hot commodity. The trailer had then 11-year-old Dale craving to be there opening weekend because the costumes for most of the characters looked spot on. That preview included a montage of the “World Warriors” showcasing their vintage special attacks and poses. Guile’s Flash Kick and M. Bison enthusiastically proclaiming “GAME OVER!!!” in that trailer guaranteed I would be in the cinema for it. I was such a dork for this movie in my old journal at the time that I would keep a tally of the number of times I would see the trailer during commercial breaks on television leading up to the film……seriously. There were only a couple of video game movies out by this point. The genre did not have the disastrous reputation that it does today, so suffice it to say, I was amped up going into the film…..and pretty peeved coming out of it because of how it treated a few characters compared to the game and because there was not an actual fighting tournament in it. In 2009, I revisited it when an “Extreme Edition” hit home video with extra features, and my opinion on it softened a bit seeing it with a fresh set of eyes. I re-watched it last week with the new “Steel Book” Ultimate Edition released on BluRay last year. All these years later, and now I seriously love the film!

Well known Belgian, Jean-Claude Van Damme is leading this film as the American fighter, Guile, fresh off Van Damme’s slate of action hits like Hard Target and Double Team. Director Steven de Souza stated in interviews that they had a throwaway line of dialog explaining how Guile covered up his Belgian accent by saying it was actually a southern accent and he is actually from the United States, but it wound up on the cutting room floor. His adversary is the dastardly lead Street Fighter II boss, M. Bison, played by Raul Julia in what would be his final performance. As I alluded above, 11-year-old Dale was furious there was no fighting tournament. Instead, the film is all about M. Bison holding numerous “Allied Nations” employees as hostages in the fictitious world of Shadaloo, with various other Street Fighter combatants serving under him like Dee Jay (Miguel A. Núñez Jr.), Zangief (Andrew Bryniarski), Sagat (Wes Studi), and captured scientist Dhalsim (Roshan Seth). An awkward scientist’s attire is Dhalsim’s costume here, and Bison is forcing him to perform mutation experiments on Guile’s captured comrade, Charlie, and transform him mid-movie into the green-beast we know from the games as Blanka. I can go into the nerd gaming lore on how all kinds of wrong this is relating to Blanka, and Dhalsim’s character’s in the game, but I will actually give the filmmakers credit all these years later because it kind of actually plays well with an adult set of eyes because it would be pretty damn odd diving into Blanka’s actual video game origin story on the silver screen while trying to give equal time for the huge cast.

Speaking of this stacked cast, for the protagonists, aside from Guile, serving under him in the Allied Nations is Thunder Hawk (Gregg Rainwater), Cammy (Kylie Minogue), and Captain Sawada (Kenya Sawada)-who is a character created just for this movie. Sawada was later inserted as a playable character in the video game based on the film…that is based on the game and deliberately titled, Street Fighter: The Movie--just watch this video, it can explain it much better than I can. Two fighters more popular among fans of the video game, Ken (Damian Chapa) and Ryu (Byron Mann), have lesser supporting roles here as they are con-artist weapon dealers who later get teamed up against their will with Sagat and Vega (Jay Tavare). The last squadron of good guys is the trio of Chun-Li (Ming-Na Wen), Balrog (Grand L. Bush – who gave a random viral speech about his memories on the film in 2015), and E. Honda (Peter Tiasosopo). This motley trio is an innocuous TV news crew, but all three coincidentally have their own martial arts background that lines up with the game canon, and Chun-Li wants to avenge her father’s death when M. Bison steamrolled through her village. When Chun-Li confronts Bison with this, Julia absolutely nails it with his delivery of the meme-worthy “It Was Tuesday” line….if you have no recollection of this, well then click or press here to see this iconic moment in cinema history!

Speaking of, Raul Julia is sublime in his performance as M. Bison. He cheeses up his performance just right in his delivery as the master crime lord. Bonus feature interviews detail how he went method for studying for the role going so far as to research Mussolini speeches to mimic body language cadence. Other actors interviewed stated how Julia was visibly sick and downtrodden off-camera with cancer but wanted to do this film for his kids who loved the game. When the cameras were on, his colleagues stated how he was a total pro and how he went out with an aces performance that still lives on to this day! I love the costume he adorns that is incredibly faithful to the game, outrageous cape and all!!! Most other fighters either have game-appropriate costumes or receive their appropriate gear at some point in the movie. Honda is the perfect case where after an amusing Kong/Godzilla duel homage with Zangief, Honda’s gear is battered so much that he dons it like his traditional sumo gear in the game! Some cast members like Dee Jay and Dhalsim don’t don their proper gear, but the filmmakers and costume department get it right for the most part! For better or worse, the fight choreographers work in plenty of the roster’s iconic moves like Guile’s aforementioned Flash Kick, Bison & Honda’s torpedo dive, and regrettably meek renditions of Ryu’s Hadoken and Ken’s Shoryuken.

The film has a rather convoluted plot, but it essentially stumbles its way into a cohesive mess by the end. The Allied Nations crew teams up with Chun-Li’s TV squad and eventually Ryu & Ken to invade M. Bison’s fortress. Van Damme does an admirable “so-bad-it’s-good” portrayal of Guile, and he has a main event-worthy clash with Bison in the final act to close the film. All the fights inside Bison’s fortress with all the cast members are an admitted dumpster fire to keep up with, but an enjoyable one nonetheless! I tip my hat to the crew for the monumental task of trying to grant adequate screen time for this ensemble cast. At the time of the film’s release, Super Street Fighter II was a fairly new entry in the series at home release, so I was surprised to see Dee Jay, Cammy, and Thunder Hawk all featured, but Fei Long is mysteriously absent. However, it may make sense in recent years after finding out how litigious the estate of the Bruce Lee family is. This Ultimate Edition Steel Book has a ton of bonus materials. I would be remiss not to mention how awesome the steel book case is, and the gorgeous art that adorns it. Another cheeky bonus is an actual, physical “Bison Dollar” that plays a small-yet-vital part in the film!!! The folks behind this steel book BluRay went all-out with new bonus materials. There are roughly 75 minutes of new video interviews and features. A couple of the highlights are a 20-minute interview with writer/director Steven. E. de Souza, titled, Making Street Fighter. There is roughly an E. Honda’s 100-hand Slap’s worth of new production anecdotes from Souza. Some quick highlights are how $10 million of the $32 million budget went to Jean Claude Van Damme & Raul Julia alone. Additionally, here we find out JCVD was his backup option after Sylvester Stallone and how he originally wanted Stephen Wang as Bison, but was surprised Julia jumped at the role and could not turn him down.

Also amusing was how Souza stated how they kept toning down the violence and blood in the fights to get to a PG-13 rating but eventually overdid it and the MPAA rated the movie G. Hence, they went back and had JCVD whisper in a curse word to get a PG-13 rating. Lastly, it was fascinating to see in this interview how Souza was pretty introspective all these years later, being appreciative of fans coming around and telling him how much they love the movie in recent years after all the initial negative press. Other notable new extras are interviews with the composer, Graene Revell, and how he was competing to get his soundtrack done and released before the Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack, which went on to much bigger success and still resonates today. They tracked down Ken Masters actor, Damian Chapa for a new interview with fond reflections of his kids loving that he did this movie all these years later. The actress who played Chun-Li, Ming-Na Wen, also had a new interview, with the standout moment being how she was in the scene with Raul Julia for the iconic “It was Tuesday” line. While they could not track JCVD for a new interview, they did have a historian interviewed detailing his humble Hollywood beginnings to his breakout success, and eventually how Street Fighter was the beginning of a downward spiral for him.

There is also roughly a half hour of archived extra features from the aforementioned “Extreme Edition” DVD, but the archived commentary track with de Souza also is carried over and worth your time and has a lot of takeaways from how the production shifted from Thailand into Australia due to filming conditions. This “Ultimate Edition” is a stacked BluRay, and well worth tracking down If you have any nostalgia for the 1994 classic!!! The intricately detailed steel book and physical “Bison Dollar” are just the icing on this delicious cake of camp theater fan service!! I think it is a safe bet the reboot follow-up Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li will not receive this treatment as it is as awful today as it was in 2009. By the way, the pic above this paragraph is the ultimate fan service to end the movie with each fighter’s appropriate victory pose!!!! Many, many thanks, Steven E. de Souza, for this iconic closing shot!!!

you can tell the devs had no idea what they were doing with the story in the Australia level

“One of my scariest memories as a youth was sneaking through Jean Bison's cabin. I didn't realize you were supposed to sneak through the rafters and kept trying to slip under the tables. He's huge! It was scary! One time as he wandered around he clipped into the table I was hiding under and broke it, catching me immediately. I nearly had a heart attack!”
