    I saw it Saturday and absolutely agreed, fantastic film, very tense, a really killer reboot. I was going to post about it in the old Universal Monsterverse thread, this was going to originally be The Invisible Man movie for that universe until Tom Cruise's crappy Mummy reboot crap the bed, this thread works just fine though.

    Oh I am absolutely in to see it as well, extremely hyped honestly, but I'm a Godzilla fanboy so I'm in for literally anything involving the Big G. I remember growing up I wore out three copies of King Kong V Godzilla on VHS, I loved that movie in particular, so cheesy, but so awesome.

    This is literally exactly what happens, it leaked a while back, they fight the World Serpent, or something like that, after fighting each other a little bit. Plus, MechaGodzilla apparently.

    This is why I'll always, always keep Netflix going, there's a steady stream of quality, original content always coming out. I wasn't going to check out End of the F***ing World right away, but I'm so glad I did because I loved it, I've done that with several Netflix originals, you never know until you watch :). On that note, season 2 of Kingdom releases next week, an absolutely brilliant, well made and acted, Korean zombie series, also on Netflix of course :). Highly recommended, really great stuff, far superior to Walking Dead IMO, but that's not exactly a hard task. It takes place in feudal Korea, apparently based on a Korean comic called Land of the Gods, once again, highly recommended even for those with zombie fatigue.

    I haven't even watched season 1 or 2 yet, I'm way behind! I didn't know season 3 was already out, I may have to blast through the whole series this weekend, I've heard nothing but good things.

    The more I'm seeing of this film the more I'm getting interested, this is all shaping up to look like a really well done Year One story. I see a lot of folks complaining on social media, shocker, that it's not "Bat" enough, in reality the heavy bat themed stuff didn't come until later, most Year One stuff was heavily modified real world vehicles and armor.

    I paid the little deposit for a pre-order for Freeze at BBTS, I'm in for any and all Batman rogues.

    I remember season 1 caught some flack from critics for Takeshi being a bit too dry and emotionless, but I just took that as being his character, that's just how he is. I definitely feel everyone involved with this season over-reacted to those criticisms and tried to make Takeshi more emotional this season, but to me, it read as over-acted and disingenuous. At no point in season 1 did I think Takeshi would get this worked up over his search for, and apparent love for, Falconer, they went 0-60, and they did it far too fast IMO. I too saw the reviews for this season and they weren't as hot as season 1, I enjoyed it but it wasn't nearly as good as season 1, the AI stuff was still fantastic, but it seems Takeshi took a bit of a back seat to his own story. As mentioned, I expected some Falconer, not the Falconer Show though. I also saw some critics praising this season for dropping apparently problematic themes from season 1, to me, that's also disingenuous, in a world where bodies are literally just flesh and have little meaning, I found it very poignant in season 1 when we saw the facility where you could just buy a 21 year old super model to put your wife in, that's honestly exactly what I'd expect if this tech were real. That's not problematic, that's just being genuine with how this world and it's people would be, bodies are nothing, male or female, it's just meat.

    This is what I figured, you can only redeem VIP points for set values of gift cards, more or less, to use towards new purchases. It's a bit more restricted then I remember, if I recall in the past you could just cash in your VIP points at checkout and it would just take a chunk off your total and use every point, now you can only turn in VIP points for the pre-set amounts listed in the VIP area M'Kyuun posted above. Not a huge change, but a bit different from what I remember. Also, that Beetle is totally on the way, looks awesome too.

    It's not timed and it's not locked to just one playthrough, you can take as long as you want and replay it whenever, and you should, the graphics are fantastic, Midgar has never looked better. I'm interested in hearing more about what people think of the combat, it's... certainly something.

    I actually looked and was going to grab a Beetle this morning, it just looks so cool, I need it. The DB-5 and Mustang were amazing, so that makes me more excited to check this little VW Bug out. That said, how do VIP points work? I think I've used them before but I thought I was able to use them at checkout and I cashed all of them in or something, I don't entirely remember. The only way I saw to use VIP points for purchases was to redeem them for one of set amount coupon things, is that how they are used for purchases? It's been so long, I have 7,300 points to use, not a small amount.

    I'm not doing DYRL valks so this is a pass for me, I'll be back when the TV version gets announced.

    I binged through the whole season Friday, really enjoyed it, not nearly as much as season 1, but I liked it. I think Anthony Mackie was a solid choice for Takeshi this season, he has the physicality and he's a handsome enough guy, I think he got Takeshi's very on point, dry, direct personality down. I gotta agree on the character's motivation itself though, the whole season was driven by his odd obsession with Falconer, something I didn't expect. We knew in season 1 he loved her, obviously, and at the end he set out to find her, but the events of this season and his crazy devotion to her was jarring, and not where I expected the story to go. I didn't think the entire season's story would be devoted to his search for her, I was fairly disappointed the new job he got assigned to literally died off in the first episode, I wanted another mystery in the background but nope, it just led to more Falconer nonsense. All the things she does, all the signs it wasn't her or that something was wrong, and he kept following her and getting into messes, like a lethal little puppy, it was kind of lame. I expected Falconer to be a big part of the season, but she almost became the main character instead of Takeshi, and it wasn't even actually her for a large part of the season's events. Thinking about the events of the season, things got fairly GANTZ, no?

    I think Division 2 is absolutely worth $3, that's a killer price. I can't speak for Destiny 2, I never got into Destiny 1 so I never bothered with 2, but Division 2 is an excellent looter shooter, and has had tons of updates and support since launch. A massive new New York expansion just dropped as well, blast through the main story and you can jump right into the new expansion with some starter level 50 gear, it's a great solo or coop experience IMO. This is also what I learned about the Destiny story from friends, it's not really there, you shoot stuff and do missions, the lore and story takes a real back seat unless you read some kind of external story logs or something that aren't actually mandatory and don't get covered in the game itself. I tried it last night, the hype is sort of somewhat real IMO, it was certainly a fairly difficult slog to beat the OG scorpion sentinel boss at the end of the bombing run mission. I don't know, combat is fun enough I guess, more of a evolution of Kingdom Hearts style combat then FFXV, it's interesting enough and you certainly do need to keep on your guard. I just still don't think I can be bothered to pay $60 for an unclear chunk of game, I'll probably be waiting for a sale or I'll just wait for the PS5/Xbox X Series release, which will probably be closer to part 2 and will probably come bundled together anyway.

    My CREATOR Fiat 500 is arriving at work today, I'm excited, looks like a really fun little build even though I'm not the biggest fan of the car itself. I think I need to nab a CREATOR VW Bug as well before stock dries up, that little thing looks neat too.
  16. Tking22
    You know how the saying goes, it's NERF or nothing! Even in the MCU, for top tier assassins.

    I still don't do Mafex unless I absolutely have to like Kingsman or the rest of the live action Justice League, still too many issues and the price creep is absolutely insane. Figuarts Black Widow movie Widow and Taskmaster, I'm in for at least Taskmaster, not sure about Widow, probably a pass, I have enough Figuarts Widow figures. All that said, I find the lack of Red Guardian quite disturbing, gotta wonder if Bandai is going to even bother, or make him a TWE item.

    I finished my second full season 1 binge last night, pretty damn fantastic first season like I said when it first came out, very solid effects, there must've been a pretty solid budget for the first season. I'm now officially more hyped to start season 2 tonight! I took a vacation day tomorrow so I can enjoy some figures that came in and chill and watch season 2, I also hit my butcher up and grabbed a few monster tomahawk ribeyes, gonna have a very chill and relaxed Friday.
  19. Tking22
    Of course not! How else is Bandai going to sell a Final Battle Thanos figure in the coming months? I kid, but not really. Agreed on the third party accessories though, the Tony head for Bandai doesn't look as good as the one I'm getting, with a nano gauntlet that lights up for MK85, from NOTA Studios, they killed it with the hammer and shield for Cap so I'm excited to get my MK85 parts in.

    I just don't get these Gomez mascot figures at all, they've all been easy passes, they never look like any special beyond the admittedly solid accessory count they always seem to get, not being licensed they always seem to get a good number of cool accessories per release. I need Ghost Rider and Freeze like frakking yesterday, they both look fantastic. Also, a Martian Manhunter would be nice, and that "modern" Mezco Wonder Woman in the more armored look, I need to finish off my Mezco Big 6 now that Hal Jordan is FINALLY on the way.

    HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hype levels are through the roof for me on this, Monster Hunter is undoubtedly one of my all time favorite video game franchises, across 6 different games now, I've logged in well over 4,000 hours. This is a collaboration I only dreamed about, the only other monsters we've gotten in toy form that were articulated were the old Revo/Yamaguchi monsters, and they only did three monsters and some repaints. I am absolutely, 100% in on this line, every figure, every subspecies and variant, every exclusive and whatever else they come up with, I need everything in this line period. This is incredible news, MonsterArts has knocked all of their Godzilla and Gamera stuff out of the park IMO, I absolutely can not wait to see what will inevitably be their first release, Rathalos, in beautiful figure form, I can't wait, I'm so excited.

    Why does this new little Earth Rise of whatever Arcee have a far superior chest and head sculpt to the expensive "Masterpiece" MP-51? That's crazy. This isn't third party vs Takara, this is all Takara, and the cheaper mainline figure looks better then the collector grade Masterpiece figure. Obviously the MP looks much better in some areas, far superior alt mode of course, but I'm honestly hard pressed to say it has a better robot mode.

    I'm all Figuarts so I have had an extra Hall for well over a year but have been waiting on this, the Revoltech looked decent but not good enough, and I don't mix lines. I'm still baffled it took this long, the Iron Man 2 Hall setup has been complete minus this single armor for, once again, well over a year, crazy, but glad they are completing the full Iron Man 2 scene.
  24. Tking22
    Good lord, this thing is FINALLY getting released! Way to make people wait Bandai, literally Tony's first armor, and they wait until he's dead in the MCU to let everyone finish their Hall of Armor setups. Nothing firm for release, just 2020. S.H.Figuarts Iron Man mk I Release Date: 2020

    I went and saw Shazam, Aquaman, and Wonder Woman in theaters, but those looked like fun, Birds of Prey just didn't look like much fun from the first trailer. I really liked Margot as Harley too, she was one of the only decent parts of Suicide Squad, I'll catch this on HBO eventually. Friends who saw it liked it for the most part, at minimum they said it was better than Suicide Squad, at worst, some said it was as middling as BvS.
