Dear god, this was a journey. Easily the hardest one of these I've ever done. Especially deciding between what went into the B and C tiers.

I’m honestly really surprised at where you ranked the Paper Mario games

I love the games and I think they are super well designed and well written, but I just get bored by the gameplay of long turn based RPGs. I was more forgiving of Sonic Chronicles because it is a lot shorter making it easy to beat the game before the gameplay got old. But Paper Mario as much as I love them I have never beat either
Definitely not an easy one!
Gotcha. I can proudly say I’ve beaten both of those
But if long turn based RPGs aren’t your thing, I can see why those wouldn’t be in your upper tiers.

Aloha! I’ll probably make it’s own thread once I get episode 1 written, but I’ve always been really enamored with Polynesian culture and history as well as the American pop Tiki Culture spearheaded by Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic that we see in Adventurelands worldwide and The Polynesian Village resort.
I’ve also been thinking about how cool it would be to see theme park attractions get shows and movies on Disney+, and this all culminated into me taking one of my all-time favorite attractions in all of Disney and turning it into a series where I can explore the many myths and legends surrounding the South Pacific from Indonesia to Polynesia, New Zealand, South America, and beyond. So with that, I present to you all, the backstory and plot synopsis for: The Enchanted Tiki Room: Legends of the South Seas
Located on an island somewhere in the South Pacific, a shack has been constructed by an unknown Polynesian man in his lonely travels around the Pacific after being separated from his family. As he traveled, searching for them, he became enamored with the avian life that he discovered on each island and continent he reached. He would travel from island to island and port to port and trade and collect rare and beautiful birds to bring to an unpopulated island where he and his shack were located. He collected birds from hornbills to cockatoos to toucans in his travels, yet his pride and joy were four macaws that he acquired from European traders in South America.
The man named the birds for the traders who he received them from: Josè, Michael, Pierre, and Fritz respectively. The birds lived along the large island freely, returning to the man’s hut for dinner each night, looking on at the looming volcano overhead. What the man didn’t realize is that this volcano was home to an exiled Pele on her way to Hawai’i. The loud cacophonous squawking of the many jungle birds brought to her island home angered the hot-headed goddess, causing her to blow up and the volcano to erupt, destroying much of the surrounding jungle. Yet, the man was quick to react, surrounding his hut with tea leaves and summoning his bird friends back. The lava found itself rerouting around the hut and wiping out most of the life on the island outside of it, yet the hut remained.
The father of Pele, the God and father of mankind, Kane, soon came, warding off his daughter to continue her journey to her isolated home on Hawai’i. Kane soon realized that the man, isolated and alone, could not survive on the island and created him a boat from the sea that would bring him to his people on nearby islands, yet, the man feared for the lives of his birds not wanting to leave them isolated on an island with no food. Kane agreed, yet could not allow these non-native birds to mess with the native wildlife of other islands. Because of this, he compromised and placed a blessing on the hut, turning it into an enchanted hut with endless food where the birds could live happily forever. The man was happy, and took the boat, saying farewell to his feathered friends and almost, just maybe, he heard them all chirp “farewell” back.
The island was then surrounded by an impenetrable barrier that hid it from all mortals, only allowing for the Gods, the birds and the man to return. Yet, in this enchanted hut, the carvings of the man’s ancestors, the flowers he decorated his home with, and the tropical birds he brought to the island all sprung to life. Kane soon came to the birds and offered them a job: as the official record keepers of Polynesian mythology. The birds happily obliged and soon gathered all of the stories they could.
Over hundreds of years, these immortal birds have gathered the stories and legends of the South Pacific, and now, they get to share them with the world. Join Josè, Michael, Pierre, Fritz, and island native Rosita as they recount the legends and the tales of the South Seas.
Hope y’all enjoyed it! There’s really no good source for Polynesian mythology out there and I think if Disney did something like this using one of their IP it’d be a great way to share the amazing and diverse cultures of the South Pacific. Anyway, keep your eyes out for a thread about this in the coming days with a potential episode 1 script. I’d love to even make it a short-form YouTube series if I find animators and voice actors to do it with.

Anyone else think that was an all-time great Rick and Morty episode? I loved the return to form in leading into the hard sci-fi, plus Mr. Nimbus was an amazing new character and I cracked up at virtually every one of his animations.

I realize that sounds concerning if you didn’t watch the film
