    Wheel of Time - cancelled.... https://ew.com/the-wheel-of-time-canceled-after-3-seasons-at-prime-video-11741261 I know it was contentious, they messed with the story in the first season and it only improved a bit in the second, but By the Light, was the third season so damn good - so they must certainly cancel it! And part of the reason was it's hefty price tag?! Excuse me, they kept Rings of Power at a price tab of 1 Billion!? Not a big fan of it, I like RoP enough, but between the two WoT was so much better! Especially season 3. Even if it had never improved past that, it still made RoP look like a stink pile. Just goes to show another example of executive stupidity. There're saving me money though. Makes me think twice about paying for Prime Video and there is certainly no reason now to buy the first two season on DVD. So, thanks amazon, I guess...

    Good news! Love more fantasy coming along.

    Sorry to hear that @pengbuzz! Hopefully the housing situation straightens out for you. Really hoping things start breaking your way!

    Looking impressive! Looks like Federation Models is out of stock on 22" bussard replacements. Other than getting another kit, or plunge-molding a replacement... Is this going to be TOS Enterprise, or can it be a sister ship? That would allow some leeway in changing the style of bussards to something you could scratch together as a pair. If it is to be Enterprise, do I recall correctly that you did some molding in the past? If so, would it be possible for you to make a mold of the one you have? And of course, it follows if you have clear resin, or could get some from a craft store like Michaels? Thom

    Death Punch!

    8 years later... FINALLY!! Agree here. The same team in place does not guarantee a success. Case in-point, Incredibles 2. The major goof they made was to not make it a new story. It was basically the same plot from the first film, just switched between Helen and Bob with just more supers added. Not retreading a story line is the first thing to do when doing a sequel.

    Same here! Not 100% with it, but I do enjoy the ride!

    The moment from Dr Strange was just an example of the same. And Gunn does do some good character moments, but it's just a preference of mine to have comedy separate from dramatic moments.

    A good dramatic story could be so much better than just a string of exposions and superfast action squences, just to use Bay's Transformers as a comparison. Don't get me wrong, I do like Gunn's films, the earlier GoTG movies especially. But that Superman trailer looks like it's going to have a dozen villlains, or enough flashbacks for a dozen movies. That being said, this could be a real good film. There are sequences that I really like, but some have me worried. Krypto bouncing all over a badly wounded Supes just for the LOLs is one of them. Cheapening a dramatic scene just for laughs could seriously hurt the tone of the film, and Gunn has done that before. The scene from GoTG, when Quill gets the others to help him defend Zandar and Rocket comes out with his a-holes line. Funny, yes, but it was a gag moment at the expense of an emotional scene when the team is finally pulling together. Different movie, but the same thing happened in the first Dr Strange. The moment he decides to stand and fight is really cool scene with him drawing on the cape and then looking into a mirror - and then the cape starts trying to caress his cheek. A dramatic moment cheapened by the gag. I hope he hasn't started leaning on it like a crutch - rather than growing past it.

    For a first build. I wouldn't mind having that on my shelf!
  11. Thom
    That's the thing, I don't really want 'chaotic.'
  12. Thom
    Dang @MechTech, once again showing your chops!
  13. Thom
    It would be great to have a couple of those!
  14. Thom
    Not sci-fi, but pretty cool! A Phampire!
  15. Thom
    Yeah, @Papa Rat those look much better!

    Thinking too much about it could lead one to insanity...
  17. Thom
    I do wish they had chosen a less 'girlie' stance.

    Some great progress on the SDF-1 @Chas
  19. Thom
    There just seems like there is a LOT going on! I'm hoping it doesn't feel rushed or jumps around too much.
  20. Thom
    If they can find and hold on to the feel of the first BP movie - and not the second - then I might really like this one.
  21. Thom
    It was between that and He-Boi! I know, right? Just go film around Vasquez Rocks and do a matte painting of the castle in the distance. Done!
  22. Thom
    Saw it today, and really liked it. It was a fun ride with good characters, which was a good driver for most of it seeing as the villain came off... Despite that, I give this 7.5/10. Now bring on the Fantastic Four!
  23. Thom
    They better renegotiate a better salary for that man!
  24. Thom
    Saw the first trailer today while in to see Thunderbolts* and it was thankfully the one without Krypto using a badly wounded Supes as a trampoline.
  25. Thom
    My thoughts too. It's cheaper to film in the 'real world,' but that can also cheapen the plot far too much. There was another fantasy movie done quite a while ago, He-Bro(?), I think, or something like that anyway, where that made it just fall flat. When I think of He-Man, I think of another world and fantastic settings, not, 'oh look, another hero comes to Earth again...'
