    BBTS notified me my ThreeZero Unit 1 is getting ready to release, I've got Unit 2 pre-ordered as well, absolutely grabbing Unit 00 too. The Metal Builds are nice figures, but I hate the aesthetic, they're too busy, I'm so glad ThreeZero got into the game, their Evas are pretty much exactly what I was looking for in a modern, high-end Eva figure.

    Hot damn! Finally! She's the last piece I need for my Mezco One:12 Justice League, I think I'm going to pass on the new Supes, I'm fine with the original release. Also, when in the hell is 89 Batman coming out?!

    Oh I definitely agree, there absolutely should've been a tournament, I expected one, and it seems basically everyone else that watched this did too, I just personally wasn't too bummed it didn't happen. I blame the marketing, it definitely seemed like we were getting the original MK1 tournament, but nope. Agreed on Cole too, There were a number of odd disappointments, but I liked it enough I hope we get a sequel with the big 9/10 tournament from the first game, with some Johnny Cage.

    I liked how he looked. He's looked far more reptilian then he's been another generic palette-swap ninja in green. He was really only a palette-swap ninja for the first three games, when they still used sprites, and still palette-swapped characters. Reptile has been reptilian for the majority of the games, usually a reptile-like person/monster thing, in various forms of ninja-like clothing. But he's also been a straight-up reptile person like he was in this, no clothes, I liked it.

    I've seen it twice now, and I really enjoy it, it's not without disappointments, but I liked it overall. It was announced long, long ago Cole would be the new, main, original character, it's a bummer, but I was ready for that. It's the same thing the garbage Resident Evil movies did, all the actual main characters are in the film but relegated to the background while some new, totally random nobody comes in and does all the cool stuff, and is stronger, and has plot armor, and does everything the actual main characters are supposed to do. My issue with Cole was what I had already figured from the first seven minutes that got released early, I'm not bummed there wasn't a tournament, I don't know how many of you actually play or know MK lore, but the vast majority of the story and fights happen outside the actual tournament. In fact, the tournament usually gets glossed over within the first couple hours, only in the first three games was the tournament a real factor, and once again, the vast majority of the fights and story happened outside the tournament. MK9, MKX and MK11 blew past the tournament quick, Liu Kang wins, someone from Earthrealm beats Goro, then Liu beats Shao Khan, the only death was Scorpion killing the original Sub-Zero, Bi-Han, who then becomes Noob Saibot. I hope we get a sequel, there was a lot done right, and from what I've read, WB were the ones that got involved and demanded Cole be a part of the film, hopefully if this film is successful enough they can just drop him entirely and give us a remake of the original film, covering the events of the first tournament and everything around it. I was interested to see how they explained people's powers, I think they did decent enough, but agreed that, Overall I liked it, it was quite MK, lots of little easter eggs and nods to various games, some decent choreography throughout, but agreed the first and final fights were definitely the best. I'm hoping it's success will lead to a Cole-less sequel. We need our real heroes to shine, and Johnny needs to be in that group.

    Yup, there's a new demo out so giant vampire waifu hype is back at full steam.

    Man that looks fantastic, I'm hyped for Friday, MK has always been my go-to fighting game. Pretty awesome levels of authenticity too with the proper nationalities for Bi-Han and Hanzo, Bi-Han is Chinese, Lin-Kuei clan, Hanzo is Japanese, Shirai-Ryu clan, they weren't both made Japanese like in the fan-made MK:Legacy series, and like some people have always presumed. Small details like that make me smile, they even mentioned they don't speak each other's languages. I'm excited because this looks like a fantastic MK movie, but also, there's a lot of much needed representation in this film, the cast is amazing, Joe Taslim is and always has been a top tier action star IMO. He was amazing in The Raid and The Night Comes for Us, he needs to be in more things, he's looking great as Sub-Zero/Bi-Han, the hype is VERY real for me.

    You should check it out, it's fantastic, the final episode is this Friday. I'm in for US Agent, Falcon and Winter Soldier did a fantastic job with John Walker, he's a very compelling and relatable character. I'm still gonna pass on Bucky and Sam's default outfits, but I'm absolutely in whenever Bandai announces Sam in his Captain America suit.

    I think I need MP Skids. Not because I like the character, and I even set myself to not buy anything MP after season 1, but because he just looks like the Hasui MPs of old. The shot of him with the Datsuns won me over, he looks really good, and the price is right.
  10. Tking22
    Looks pretty much the same as the one from the Classic Batcave set to me, and I've got that set so this is a pass for me. I finally ordered my Discovery, I'm excited to check it out, I'm also pretty surprised it's stayed in stock as long as it has since it released. With double VIP points going again, I'm glad I waited to grab it, the Lunar Lander is on the way too.

    He's really shown himself to be a pretty solid actor with DP. On the surface it's absurd, it's easily one of the weirdest comic properties turned live action, Guardians of the Galaxy looks like The Brady Bunch in comparison, but that's just DP, it's frakking out there. DP is also one of the finest live action DC films or shows period. It's better written, acted, paced, and has a better, more engaging story with better characters then the vast majority of comic turned live action properties out there, DC, Marvel or otherwise. I push this show on everyone I can, it's absolutely brilliant. As for Brendan himself I can't really say, he's a solid actor, he's no longer George of the Jungle or in Mummy shape, but he's funny, and can nail some serious material, even in ridiculous situations like his roll in DP. It's great though right? Also, Flex Mentallo was pretty perfectly cast, I was worried when he was announced because he's a beyond absurd character, but DP really nailed him. Not related to DP, I caught up on some more Bill Burr standup, absolutely hilarious guy, love his stuff. I decided to check out his original animated series on Netflix, F is for Family, it's pretty damn funny, and very relatable imo. Bill is hilarious as always, the family is great and their relationships and struggles are very real, Bill as the father Frank is pretty spot on for quite a few traits of my own father, and I'm sure many others would agree. Highly recommended, there's a final, fifth season coming eventually, looking forward to that.

    Holy crap really? This is totally awesome! I had no idea this was coming, this announcement just made my day! SoR4 is hands down, one of my favorite brawlers of all time, it's such a fantastic game that carried the legacy of the previous games very well, it was magnificent! I'm so in, I've got 80+ hours on my Switch, and another 50+ on Xbox, I'll definitely be grabbing this on both, the hype is real.
  13. Tking22
    Nope, not playing anyone, I really thoroughly enjoyed this film, it's definitely one of my favorite kaiju films ever. I'm bummed we apparently won't be getting anymore MonsterVerse films, seems they had plenty of room to stretch. We could've gotten Rodan, a Mothra film, War of the Gargantuas would've been an interesting film to reboot.
  14. Tking22
    I watched it this morning and absolutely loved it! Definitely the best Legendary kaiju film yet, the fight scenes were frakking fantastic. This film had the best fights in all the Legendary films, but I'd go further and say it's some of the best kaiju action in a film period. The human stuff was still really stupid and pretty cringy, but I'd put it above KotM, which isn't saying much, so yeah. On to spoilers. I'll be bummed if this really is the end of the MonsterVerse, it really didn't last long and could've been much bigger, but yeah as mentioned by orders above, these films haven't really been the box office gold most people, and the studio execs, were hoping for.
  15. Tking22
    Looks really good but I've decided to pass, I've got the first release and I'll stick with that. I also wasn't expecting that price tag, but seeing what all he comes with now, I get it. I might've bought in if he were $80-90, no light up base, oh well.
  16. Tking22
    Any Monster Hunter fans here? Monster Hunter Rise comes out very soon, I'm excited. I've put thousands of hours into this series and I'm ready for more, I just hit 1700 hours on World/Iceborne, go Gunlance.

    Got a few things in, including my pile of loot from BBTS. I paid more then I wanted to for Iron Fist, but he's gotten nothing but positive reviews, and he's my favorite Marvel character, so I had to have him. Harlequin suit Harley was blowing up in price and selling out so I grabbed her too, looks good with my Mezco whatever-whatever exclusive Joker.
  18. Tking22
    Yeah I wasn't really implying this four hour cut would've worked in theaters, just whatever Snyder would've cooked up for his promised 3 hour theatrical release probably would've still been better then what we got. Looking back at the theatrical release, they cut a lot of what I'd consider pretty essential stuff that made the whole film flow better, and make more sense. Either way, I feel the theatrical cut needed more time, it was terribly rushed, to the detriment of pretty much everything in the film.
  19. Tking22
    Woof, yeah, those are bad. The Infinity War figures have better faces, what the hell happened here? Also, no WandaVision? I want a Scarlet Witch Figuart, and that show was a perfect time to finally give us Figuarts Vision, with an easy White Vision repaint.

    I finished the whole series up Tuesday night, I liked it. Animation was solid, I liked the new jaeger and kaiju designs, action was admittedly a bit more weightless then I'd like, but I enjoyed it overall. I'm definitely a bit iffy about... I'm definitely in for another season. I'm even more excited for Godzilla Singular Point, also Terminator, Netflix is killing it with the animated stuff. I need more Castlevania ASAP as well.
  21. Tking22
    I too wouldn't say I hated the theatrical cut, but it was definitely beyond mediocre, boring, and was obviously cut up from two versions by two directors, it didn't feel complete at all. I'd definitely say I enjoyed the Snyder Cut as a whole, it was an actually enjoyable, easy to follow Justice League film. Snyder Cut is definitely one of the better DCEU films at this point IMO, I'd definitely say I enjoyed it as much as and more then some different MCU films.
  22. Tking22
    I really liked it, it was much better then the theatrical cut, which isn't saying much, but this version was a film I actually enjoyed. I think the theatrical cut should've been 3 hours minimum, there's just so much that wasn't explained in the theatrical cut, it needed more time. I'd honestly put Snyder cut above BvS, Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn solo movie, and WW84, it was definitely a more enjoyable, more coherent film. The 4:3 was jarring for all of five minutes, I stopped noticing after that. This is definitely the cut we should've gotten, every characters motivations make sense, the villain makes more sense, and looks better, it was all just far better paced and better told, scene by scene actually made sense over the really dodgy theatrical cut.
  23. Tking22
    I'm not into Joes at all so this is an easy pass for me, but there's zero denying that's a fantastic looking Destro, those accessories look great.
  24. Tking22
    God I feel like such a moron for not keeping my Iron Fist pre-order at BBTS. They've already bumped the price up to $110 and they don't even have their stock in yet, most sites are already sold out and aftermarket prices are already reaching $150. Same thing happened with KGBeast, which I did get for retail at BBTS, he sold out immediately and blew up to $200. These are both regular releases, what is happening? Are some of these characters really just selling out like this or are there less being made? Gambit and Two-Face too, pre-orders are open for months at a time, then they seem to immediately sell out as soon as they actually release. I went ahead and grabbed a harlequin classic suit Harley on Amazon because surprise, surprise, she too is now disappearing at retail.
  25. Tking22
    Yeah I'm in the US and this has been on "worth the wait" on US Netflix for a month now, Netflix also did the other animated Godzilla trilogy, they seem to be grabbing up a lot of the Toho animated stuff. Looks good to me, there's some interesting redesigns of some classic kaiju, Anguirus in particular looks cool, very Ankylosaurus. Also, Jet Jaguar is always appreciated, I've always had a soft spot for Jack Nicholson-bot.
