Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
aurance replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
No, it wouldn't be that bad. I touched on this before this thread, but that population size immediately after First War devastation (1 million) is orders of magnitude beyond what's needed for pretty problem-free breeding. (I was a molecular genetics major in college.) If there are hereditary disease issues, it's due to something other than just remaining population. Clustering, etc. But I find it hard to believe government policies/desire for society wouldn't solve that either, other than for the odd groups of hermits here and there. The Valyrian/European monarch gene pool limitations are on another scale altogether. There we're talking about a handful of people, maybe a couple hundred. That caused some problems. -

https://www.nasa.gov/live/ Here's where NASA's official stream's gonna show up. And "Spaceflight Now" is living up to the second half of their name, they're currently streaming the rocket sitting on the launchpad lookin' all pretty. -
I think this should be the standard method for fold-away hands across the board. It closes the arm up nicely and allows for wrist rotation at minimum. It should be THE WAY.

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!

No, it's nowhere near that bad. Most sources agree that the number of Human survivors of the First Space War numbered approximately 1 million. -
I am a sucker for gray valks and I hope they do a VF-25G iceman next! I just wish Maverick was a VF-25S instead of F.

Hold on...just saw a transformation video of the Optimus Prime Fire Valk from Tomy...you know the people who made this new Legioss toy, and IT gets solid forearms but the Legioss doesn't? No one from the Legioss team ever looked over the cubicle on the Transformers side to see what they were doing and maybe borrow a really good idea???? come on!

Maverick helmet painted on the head? Air Force star and stripe on the wing. What the heck are the kill icons on the bottom of the cockpit? Does it say Pete Mitchell is the pilot? I feel this is a really really really strange crossover. Between the recent Transformers Basara toy to this, it seems Macross can't stand on its own so it needs to partner with a larger franchise. Guess that makes sense, the only show most US fans have seen was the original from Robotech, which isn't licensed here, and all the shows that are licensed have never been seen here, aside from recent streaming changes decades past air dates in Japan. Maybe these crossover items will get more eyeballs and fans into the franchise, which is really wonderful, just not sure this is particular valk is in my personal wheelhouse. (Not bashing this at all, just not my bag) Could someone do an DX Fire Valkyrie head with the mouth open and the Maverick helmet design?

Yeah, curious as to why Bandai chose the VF-25. Aesthetically, VF-0 or VF-1 would've been more apt. Sales for the most recent VF-25 releases doesn't seem all that great esp. the 25G and non-canon schemes

Still, they are gonna make House Targaryen's gene pool look vast in comparison. -
Kara is on a planet without a yellow sun, which weakens her powers, the same as Krypto's.

Hi all, just heads up. If you plan on watching ARTIMES II launching on April 1st (Wednesday evening) which is still a go, plan ahead with either YouTube or another streaming service. This isn't meant to be political, but POTUS is planning a big speech right around the time she'll be lifting off, the news station will most likely cut away. So, if you don't want to see the launch knocked down to the lower right corner of your TV screen or nothing at all, plan ahead. -
I liked the Airwolf one she did a while back

I’m just confused on the dog, I thought it would have tougher skin. I’m not a dog person either, but I can understand someone trying everything they can to save their pet, although it kinda came off as though she barely cared for the dog since she would just ditch it to go and get wasted again. I don’t want to sound like I hate dogs, just that they’re not my choice for a pet. I kinda like a pet that can take care of itself as far as bathroom stuff and don’t really want a pet that somehow smells worse when it gets wet. But if I’m ever around one, I definitely give lots of pets and belly rubs

So her many motatvation is saving her dog? Not being a fan of dogs this movie is now an instant wait for streaming for me.

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
Seto Kaiba replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
Yep. In fact, the reason given for why the cloning program was discontinued in 2030 was a marked rise in hereditary diseases in children. (Gene therapy exists in Macross, so presumably they were able to fix at least some of that.) -

Would that result in inbreeding issues due to a relatively small sample to clone from (meaning genetic bottleneck) coupled with natural reproduction? Macross Humans are going to make the Valaryians from Game of Thrones look genetically diverse in the gene pool. - Yesterday

I regretted watching Gunn's Superman in the theater. Waste of money. But I really like Supergirl, so I am going to watch this in theater. If this isn't good either, then that's enough of Gunn movies on the big screen.
