  1. Macross 7, Macross Frontier, and Macross Delta are currently slated for release in North America as Blu-ray boxsets. No release dates have been given. Macross II and Macross Plus will also be getting Blu-ray re-releases but no release dates have been given.
  2. 2 episodes in...It's OK but this is gonna be a S...L...O...W burner. Really slow... Also, this map might help those who haven't kept up with LotR. Yep we'll be mainly be hanging out in the north west. And for reference, here's the map from the 3rd Age:
  3. We have recently seen an uptick in scammers coming to the site. We don't verify buyers or sellers identities, you will need to satisfy yourself that the other party is genuine and take sensible precautions. If you receive a PM message from someone you don't know offering to sell you an item, proceed with caution, especially if they are a new member. If in doubt, report the message so that it can be reviewed. If you receive a message from someone saying 'I have a friend who is selling XXX, here is his email address' presume it is a scam and report the message. Samples:
  4. Copyrights and Trademarks - Fan art and Reproduction of original casts/molds Discussions pertaining to direct listings, sales, resales, trades, auctions, raffles/lotteries or direct web links to offsite listings, sales, resales, trades, auctions, raffles/lotteries of any recasted items or parts of items without consent of those product originators are not allowed on Macross World. Macross World is not associated or liable for any user-generated artwork or original custom items or parts.
  5. BTW, It's out. It adapts the first 2 collections (Preludes and Nocturnes and The Doll's House). I'm about 5 episodes in and it's not bad.
  6. From the call so far, $9.8B in revenue, $3.4B in loss. Expected revenue was ~$12B. ~1.7M new subscriptions on streaming (versus Paramount+ posted today that it added ~3.7M new subscribers). HBO Max and Discovery+ will be folded into a new service by Summer 2023. Kids shows from WB will see a big reduction. No change to HBO/HBO Max shows except cuts to previously mentioned kids/family programming and direct-to-streaming movies (see Batgirl thread).
  7. Looking at it from a financial perspective (which will be the justification), if Batgirl's perspective viewing numbers would be no better than if it was in theaters, is it worth it? We'll probably be seeing the extreme form of Netflix's culling. HBO Max is going away. Discovery+ will probably be cut and both become tabs on whatever new service is combining the 2 services. And we know how much trouble that is down the road (ala Marvel), but to recoup whatever debt Discovery inherited from AT&T from buying WB on top of the $43B spent buying WB, I wouldn't rule out anything.
  8. 6 streaming-only films have been silently removed from HBO Max already. Those rumored cutbacks seem to be picking up more steam by the hour.
  9. Some trades report test screenings came out poor. Other say the ballooning budget may not have recouped in theater earnings. Some insiders are saying none of the above. WB's new management want the DC properties to have theatrical releases. No HBO Max-only releases. Straight on theatrical releases. Regardless, there are likely still more of changes going on and coming down at WB-Discovery, with word changes are coming to HBO Max soon, so this might not be the end of it. I imagine they are looking at the whole slate of WB projects and looking at what to cut their losses on. edit: There's an earnings call scheduled on Thursday, 8/4/2022. Some big changes will likely be announced, starting with... layoffs.
  10. Here's the official answer: https://twitter.com/MarvelStudios/status/1551000839283585024 But we will see Charlie Cox again in She Hulk. Other shows announced Secret Invasion, Echo (already previously announced), Loki season 2 (already mentioned), Ironheart (And word is we will see the Mark I Ironheart suit in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), and Agatha: Coven of Chaos (I'm not enthusiastic on this one ),
  11. It may have been "thought of" before 2005 (like sitting in the back of their head but never coming out unless given the OK). Doubtful once they were told the show was cancelled. But like them I think about a lot of things that take years to maybe or maybe not come to fruition. Doug Drexler, who designed the NX-refit, did state there was never any official plans to refit the NX-class for the show and that it was a wish-list-item for him, personally.(Seeing that it took 5 years for it to reach print from an idea is quite a ways.) Same for the writers. The writers, in the commentaries, planted lots of seeds in their stories that they hoped to develop. But I think every writer on any show would try to do that.
  12. Season 5 was never even on the drawing board; more of "We'll be lucky if we even get to think about it". In the Blu-ray commentary, the network was ready to cut the show by the 3rd season, but the network, essentially, gave it a chance to finish off with a Season 4, reduced budget/episode, moved to Friday nights and all. Most of the cast and crew knew by January 2005 before the official word announced in February 2005. One aspect of Enterprise and even the jump from TOS to TNG-eras I do like, in retrospect, is watching society and cultures change. Yes, that retcon with the Vulcans but whose to say these little things didn't happen; slightly more antagonistic mixed in with that stoic logic before toning down the antagonist. As Janeway said, things were much different in Kirk's era compared to when Janeway became captain. It's interesting watching societal changes in story.
