    Not addressing the rest of the critique, but we were shown in Prodigy that there are plenty of transwarp tunnels still out there, as well as Borg.

    Sadly that killed off certain targeted tariffs and instead were replaced with more general tariffs to avoid the IEEPA ruling. But those at least must expire after 150 days.

    Available for pre-order now. I think I might get one. He can be my 13 instead of Star Convoy.

    Definitely. IMO, Kurtzman-era Star Trek's biggest creative stumbling block is that the paranoid grimdark world of the 32nd century is painfully underdeveloped. Star Trek: Discovery picked up and moved from the 23rd century to the 32nd on a whim to escape accusations/complaints that the series was messing with canon. They just never stopped to actually think out what the 32nd century should be besides "dystopian". They seemed to assume that Star Trek exists in the same kind of cultural and technological stasis as Star Wars and spared practically no thought for how the setting might evolve in 900 years or what the implications of the many technological advancements made in chronologically later Star Trek TV shows would have for their story's setting. The few acknowledgements of progress were to handwave why that progress disappeared. The grimdark could have been made to work if they'd actually thought it out properly, but they didn't. They wanted to make off-brand Star Wars. TBH, I don't think Jeri Ryan could carry a Star Trek series. Her character stood out in Picard because she was one of the only characters in the series who wasn't wallowing in depression and irrelevance or a vaguely racist stereotype. Her story is building on that same grimdark nonsense from Picard, and nobody wants more of that. Definitely. Many fans continually ask why Alex Kurtzman and Secret Hideout are still involved with the franchise when the vast majority of their output has been failures.

    The dx 19 also sold terrible so it's not just the half-assery that's the problem.

    Bandai Exec: How do we gently kill off the Mac 7 line withou a huge fan backlash? Evildoer: we'll release a half-assed VF-17 and say the poor sales killed off the line. Now we have more resources to make the 10837801298th gundam seed Astray *rage* Oh well, I'll ship my Vf-17 sometime within the next 6 months with some other stuff to save cash at HLJ since they scalp for shipping compared to other JP shops.

    I hadn’t really thought of something fitting for Netflix, but Peacock already is a joke in itself and prime just kinda rolls off like a transformers joke and there’s a couple for Disney since they got DP, but I think D+ is already fitting since they have failed so much, yet still have a couple winners, so they get a barely passing grade.

    That is one way to kill your brand. I went with a MSI MAG 850M Mortar for my 9800X3D build last year and its been great. You can also save money at MSI's store with a CPU/mobo bundle too. Getting a 9800X3D for $399 is an outstanding deal!

    In other words we got owned by tamashii and bandai for their laziness and cost cutting measures.

    These days I'm not feeling so much of buying lacklustre releases just so in the hope for the manufacturer to go on making the ones we want. Not especially when manufacturer can be really tone-deaf to fan sentiments. At same time, I dread to return to what I think would be the dark days of Macross collecting of.. pre early-2000s? Feels like the new Macross anime can't come soon enough - at least there'll be some new valks to get excited with, and not bastardised versions of old ones & various vaporwares. As I'm typing this I'm mourning how stuff so many stuff from Delta hasn't got released - chiefly a SV-303.
  21. MKT
    LOL this makes perfect sense! I was a bit ambivalent about the TV Valks in earlier days, because the sea of white makes it look very plain. But eventually I come to appreciate it more because it accentuates the sleek VF-1 Fighter silhouette especially the fuselage areas - no stripes to break the lines.

    Also keep in mind subscription fees are inching upwards with Netflix raising their rates. The other streaming services will follow. It's not just reusing sets. VFX is expensive. That's always been a problem with sci-fi and space-based shows. They've always reused shots but when they have to create that new shot, pay up 🤑.
  23. PointBlankSniper
    If these are the release week prices, it should be reasonable to expect the price to approach 10k within a quarter... especially when even the jp fans are sharing the same sentiments as we do

    I just wish they’d do more than just gundams in the entry grade series. I guess that if they do just stick to main gundams, at least they could do a really great GP-01 that actually looks like the one from the OVA.
  26. Big s
    Why?
  27. Big s
    High budget shows can work, but they gotta be good enough to bring in viewers and it would probably help to be on a service that people actually have. They may get more subscribers though when HBO gets folded in though, but for now they still don’t have the higher subscribers that something like Netflix or Hulu or Prime have. I think i know more people subsided to peacock than the PP stream
