    My memory might be hazy, but I remember someone painting a Toynami Alpha in Macross cannon-fodder brown color. Don’t think I every saw one in the Skull-1 color scheme though. EDIT: Okay, it was a model, but the point still stands:

    It will not be long to see Scott flying a Valkyrie or Rick Hunter flying a Legioss.

    And here we go again, another flop

    hahahahahahahahaha! I haven't seen it since I was a kid and I bet it'd be great drinking game, now. 🤣

    The whole mold fits that description but it doesn't mean it doesn't look cool.

    I’d watch Uncaged Fury. Probably would wait for streaming on a new Immoral Wombat movie though
  11. Big s
    That’s an interesting version of Child in Time

    Does it come with Scott looking at it lovingly and saying “Admiral Rick Hunter” 1,853 times?

    Some made up Robotech bs

    https://sdccblog.com/2025/07/toynami-san-diego-comic-con-2025-exclusives/ What is Skull Squadron colors? Admiral Hunter means Rick Hunter? He is from Macross, not Mospeada.

    I agree with you. I wonder if I will even stick with it.

    Unfortunately, the Jor-El (or Jor -L, as it was originally spelled by Siegel and Shuster) Wiki doesn't go into detail concerning the ethics of the character early on beyond the fact that he was a scientist who tried to raise the alarm concerning his rapidly dying planet, and having his warnings dismissed and falling under suspicion of the Science Council, constructed a ship to save his son. Both of those are positives, but it doesn't really go into detail what Jor-El intends for his son to do once on Earth. However, the fact that Superman keeps a hologram of his father in the Fortress of Solitude for advice, at least, it seems, during the Silver Age of Comics in the 50s, points towards Jor-El's ethics as being highly moral- no subjugation of humanity and creating harems to start a new Krypton here. John Byrne took Superman in a different direction in '86 with his Man of Steel miniseries where he reinvented Kal-El's origin story as well as Jor-El's backstory and personality, which I'm assuming, in part, is where Gunn was drawing inspiration for his interpretation. Having grown up seeing Jor-El always portrayed as a kind and wise father and guide to Kal-El, I'm finding it difficult to cotton towards Gunn's take. If he was going for shock value, I wish he'd chosen a different character and circumstance. For Clark's part, I think it's a uniquely cool benefit to being an extraterrestrial orphan when he can seek guidance from both his dead parents via technology and from his Earth parents to help him navigate the situations he faces in the world as two different people with problems on very different levels. I've always thought that the influences from both sets of parents, or at least from his Kryptonian father, were instrumental in shaping the person that Clark becomes and how that informs who Superman is. I find making Jor-El a tyrant undigestible.

    If only the entire film were that campy, I might actually go and see in the theater. The worst thing they could possibly do with a Mortal Kombat movie would be try to take its premise seriously.

    I can no longer tell if New Saga is just badly written or if it's actively taking the piss. I'm undecided as to whether that marks an improvement in its writing or not... the protagonist certainly seems to be about as bored with the business of becoming The Hero as I am of watching it, and is actively trying to speedrun the process to the point of rudeness.

    Good teaser, lol. Just realized its very Kung Fury too.

    guys ... you all do awesome stuff. I feel inferior. BUT - I did a thing. I needed AIM-120 for my F-14D. So ... I made them. 3D Model The print - 3 of the noses stuck to the resin basin, so only 9 rockets. And here in action on the F-14. The details are too fine - so I think I have to redo the model. The panel lines and rivets don't really show...

    According to Exsedol (and Macross Chronicle), there are somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 Main Fleets active in the galaxy c.2010. These fleets range in size from several hundred thousand to several million warships each. We don't know. Macross Chronicle describes the automated factory satellites as being supported by a fleet of robot ships that mine the necessary resources and warehouse satellites that store the raw material until the production lines need it. The Mechanic Sheet for the Factory Satellite seen in the SDF Macross TV series has a section that notes there are some factory satellites which are outfitted with their own fold systems, while others that are located in resource-rich areas lack them. The implication there seems to be that some factory satellites need to periodically relocate to obtain the resources they require to continue operating (and/or chase the fleets they're supporting), while others are so efficient and/or in such resource-rich environments that there is no realistic prospect of local resources running out during the facility's lifespan. Considering how resource-rich space actually is... it's unlikely the galaxy is in any danger of being picked clean by the Zentradi in any timescale Humans can comprehend. EDIT: Whether the Zentradi (and/or Supervision Army) recycle is another matter entirely. The Zentradi are known to have a rescue and recovery pod of sorts, and we've seen surprisingly little in the way of wreckage from Zentradi ships and mecha in later stories. If they're recovering and recycling corpses and battle pods and maybe even ships to reprocess the material that help the resource situation a bit too.

    Regarding Superman's Kryptonian parents,

    I don't understand why people are saying this. The only thing the nations in conflict have in common with them is that one is well-armed and the other isn't. Nothing else about that storyline is even remotely similar.

    Yeah, I just picked one up. Came out to around $110 with shipping. It’s still not as cheap as what Mandarake is selling it for, but it’s been hard to find them in stock there.

    Shield Hero s4 has been good so far.

    Does anyone know if the Tread will be unveiled at Wonderfest Summer 2025 in Tokyo or another event? The official release date is July 26th? Maybe we'll see the box art there. I think they're livestreaming now.
