Then maybe I could finally get a model of the Valkyrie! And I hadbn't even thought of Anastasia! That would be cool.

Nice! For me, one of the best movies of 2019. Would be a shame if they didn't make a sequel. Can't wait for the blu-ray to come out.

I'd be hoping for Tangled, Frozen and Atlantis! There was a live-action version of the Frozen in Once Upon a Time, even a Mulan and Merida. The stories could have used some work, but the actresses pulled the roles off well enough.

LOL!

But does it talk..? Liu Yifei is listed as American-Chinese.

A little update on my USS Saber, the first coat of light gray has been applied.

Real sleek looking ship. And that radar array looks fantastic.

Actually doesn't. There was literally nothing said either way on whether pregnant women suddenly found themselves not pregnant or if a woman vanished into dust leaving a fetus behind. Thinking on it, it would be possible that the Snap merely meant that both mother and child were connected on close enough levels that if one were to disappear, it would take the other with it by default.

Most audiences would hate that ending, and if it did I wouldn't go see it in the theater, so that's money out of their pocket. Doubt they'd do that. I can see this having an ending similar to the animated movie, in that being a Happy Ending even though is not based on the animated Disney movie at all, but on the original poem itself. Probably why we also won't see Mushu or cricket... May not have any singing either. Personally, I wish it was more in-line with the animated movie, but what we are seeing so far, I'm liking.

Could we actually wonder if it will be a good movie or not..?

Here's a real mermaid. Fictionalized mermaids (or mermen) are not real and so what their coloring is, is just as much a fiction as the mermaid herself. As to the new movie, I did pause for a moment when seeing they'd hired a black (brown?) girl for the role, but that's because I've grown up with Ariel being white (pale?) with bright red hair. Now, is there some rule that says she has to stay white with bright red hair? No. Though, to be honestly, I would rather they had kept the look of the character the same, but that's just because it's what I'm familiar with. Kind of the same thing with the new MJ in Spiderman. The original story itself was written 182 years ago, in a time when white people were predominant, but that is not the same anymore. We live in a diverse culture that is becoming steadily more so every year, and to consider that they (Disney) would seek to identify with that wider demographic is not a wild notion. Money is the bottom line, and more butts in the seats is the goal. And this is being made for far younger audiences than most of us, namely preteen to teenage girls. Would Disney like it if we (the older generation) liked it as well? Sure they would, but we are not the main target. In the end, all that really matters if it is a good story, well written and well acted. And if the kids like it.

Gotta get the shirt!!

Never heard of her before, but she's pretty that's for sure. Interested to see how she fits into the character.

You'll like it. The Defiant is a good model to build.

I'm in! I thought Into the Jungle was really good, and this trailer had me laughing.

I'll take the flying car! -
I ended up fudging mine, sadly. I considered buying the mask set, but it, sadly, doesn't have any provisions for them. Next time, the first thing I'll do is paint the area surrounding those clear parts as though it's the finishing paint, insert the painted clear parts, and mask it off - then go to closing up the hull as the instructions dictate. Good luck with yours! Also, nice work with that Queadluun-Rau. That's one I really wish was in 1/72! Mechtech, that mast looks fantastic!

I just recently finished a build of the /1000 Defiant. It is a great little kit! The only problem I had was planning the build/paint sequence. When I build another, I'll paint the upper hull where the eight clear round parts go, then mask them before continuing with putting the hull together and sanding the seems. It turned into a bee-otch for me when I needed to mask the eight clear circles after all assembly was done, and just couldn't get it right. Everything else though was Beauty! A test of the new phaser emitters on the Saber.

I keep getting stuck on the wording, 'you must sacrifice that which you love...' Not sacrifice your own life, but that which you love, a person separate from yourself. For that scene to work in Endgame, Barton would have had to kill Nat (or the other way around) and not simply fail is stopping her from killing herself. Imagine that scene...
-
+2 The trailer looks really good. If they can make it a two hour movie that feels like the best twenty or so min from Pearl Harbor - rather than the stupid soap opera that the rest of it was - then it will be worth going to see. At the moment, the only drawback is that Emmerich directed it.
-
Not something I'd watch in the theater anyway, and though I like Stewart (both of them) even they are not enough to get over the dumpster dump of that trailer. Comparison time!
-
Oh c'mon, that soundtrack!!
-
Maybe they'll remake Iron Eagle!
-
A little closer to paint on the Saber. Just have to neaten the crease between the saucer and the main hull, and replace the phaser banks which suffered from some overzealous sanding. Oops...
