We first covered There Will Be Brawl on after the first episode, titled “Twilight Ruin,” was released in late September. Since then, the show’s co-creators Matthew Mercer and Zach Grafton disclosed that, while they had made promising progress on the next episode, they needed more funding to continue production. However, when they announced Escapist’s intervention they made it clear that production would continue on a monthly release schedule, meaning that Episode 2 should be due out a month from now at the Escapist.
So far, the show’s real-life-video-game-characters seem to take a few stylistic cues from CollegeHumor’s Street Fighter: The Later Years, and curiously enough, the noir feel reminds me just a little bit of the universally panned Super Mario Bros. movie from the early ’90s. Of course, There Will Be Brawl‘s roots in video game fandom mean the show is loaded with in-jokes for the gamers among us, but anyone with even a passing familiarity with Nintendo, Mario, or Pokémon ought to be able to enjoy the show.
