    As of Wednesday, Hulu is now (at least partially) absorbed into Disney+. My bet is that this hub is where Macross will appear in the app.

    That's been in preview for two months, I think. Not sure if it was available to everyone with a sub, or just some of us.

    edit: read the article, was in beta for four months.

    I am wondering if somone wanted to change KOTOR.

    Like I think exploring Light vs Dark conflict was done in KOTOR 2...and it was one of divisive works.

    It was only divisive because it was released unfinished and buggy with a lot of content cut. Obsidian was forced to rush it out the door by LucasArts and Microsoft. Thankfully, the cut content remained on the disc, and years later a fan project was able to fix many of the bugs and restore much of what was incomplete.
     

    The story itself is well-loved by the fans.

    House of the Dragon's channel combined the Green and Black trailers. HBO Max's channel split the trailer into "Green"and the "Black" trailers.

    Part of me suspects they'll end the season on the Battle Above Gods Eye. Seems like a good spot to end the season.

     

    Spoiler

    You don't think it's too early for that? I was thinking season 3.

     

  4. This is a good read. I especially liked the show runner talking about the Jedi being at the height of their powers in this era, and that they'd only pull out their lightsabers if they were really threatened. And really, not much can truly threaten them in this time period.

    Sad to see Masters of the Air come to an end, but it was a hell of a ride. After waiting for years for this series to release, I can't help feeling you wish there were a few more episodes still to come.

    I felt episode's 8 & 9 were a bit crammed, in that they were trying so hard to shove as much story as they could into such a short run time. MOTA needed to either be 1 hour & a half long episode's or 10 or 11 episode's long. 

    Overall, I give this series very high marks for original score, use of actual/authentic B-17 sound effects (as in they actually went to preservation society's & used their Forts to film from), overall, the acting & dialog, sets & unforms was very good, CGI was hit & miss a few times, though the last episode spared no expense. 

    My only complaints were, the lack of seeing M-3 & M-5 Flak helmets plus a variation of Goggles, (Polaroid 1021 & M44 types were as well, not just the AN6530 which is what you see everyone wearing throughout the series. The Biggy, by 1944, definitely by D-Day, most B-17 E/F models had been destroyed in combat or salvaged for parts and the B-17G with chin gun turret (the most produced variant), operated by the Bombardier would have been the prominent Fortress seen at this stage of the series, pretty sad that A-list producers like Hanks & Spielberg missed this. The other is the scenario with Quinn & Bailey, not seeing those two actually make their escape from Belgium with the Resistance however them simply appearing at Thorpe Abbotts in new uniforms with a ticket home felt very lack luster, at least we know they survived. 

    As I said, minus some nitpicks here & there, I really enjoyed this series & just like BoB & The Pacific, I'll get MOTA on Blu-ray as well.

    I thought MotA was uneven, but still fairly good. Better than The Pacific but not as good as Band of Brothers. Definitely felt like it needed a 10th episode so the story had more room to breathe.

    Chainsaw Man is not directly on D+. D+ has been known for editing movies and shows inconsistently. I’m not sure if they touched Deadpool at all, but the did edit Splash and that wasn’t even R rated. I’d be disappointed if they did something to that scene in the first episode of frontier when that guy got juiced.

    But it's not going to be directly on Disney+. It's going to be on Star (or probably Hulu in the US).
