Still have not watched the whole film yet. Don't feel compelled either...

The Macross pod cast crew just dropped the news..Macross The First is officially shuttered indefinitely. So says Mikimoto San..

Every time Macross rolls out a new series or OVA

Is that because of Macross's diminishing interest per fan base or is that a problem that affects manga in general (it certainly seems to be a major problem for comics in the States)?

I liked it - some sections more than others. High points for me were Lucky 13 and Sonnie's Edge

Definitely with the Heavy Metal vibe big time 

Lucky 13 +1,000. Yes, the creative minds behind this series arguable have stacks (STACKS) of Heavy Metal magazine somewhere in their homes...

Yeah, I was humming the theme to WWW this evening off & on after hearing about this. Did he ever offer his opinion of Will Smith's remake?

*nods head & salutes* 

Perhaps this has been discussed elsewhere on MW but I came across this on YouTube. I'm still drooling...

OK, Question. I'm sure its been explained here but i'll ask again: What are those dual dots that are above the nacelle engine cans (feet in G & B mode). are they same thing as the single dots on arms just behind the hand actuators? I always assumed they were sensors or perhaps cameras to which the pilot derived more visual imput… am I wrong?

and like the round thingies (that eventually became both hook points and Vernier thruster ports), why do those items not appear on later VF's (either in media or model kits & toys)?

And its because of things like this that I dont slavishly follow "official canon"

Fictional universes are like comic runs, they go through stages of variable quality. You can collect or ignore any part of it that doesnt suit you.

 

or calls them 'films' made within a said fictional universe aka 'Macross DYRL' and it's cheap direct-to-video sequel, 'M2:LA'

found this on my FB feed this morning. I'll admit... I didn't fully understand the verbiage (I guess the use of the word 'Project' seems to be the cause). But a comment struck me as curious (clearly the poster knows some of the guts that created 2199 & 2202): "Is Yutaka Izubuchi (出淵裕) back in charge? Otherwise no much hope".

Man who got paid million and millions of dollars to play a children's game dies. Top news story, nation in mourning. 

China kills it's own citizens to fill organ transplant orders for profit (Third Reich level evil) . It's never a story, and no one talks about it.

 

When you have a BILLION slaves, you can afford to kill off a few (and nobody blinks)… I think his point is how fair life seems to be... Was his comment harsh and cold? Hell F*cking Yes. Does Kobe's death mean more than, say this https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/portage-county/streetsboro-police-investigating-discovery-of-mans-body/95-aa00bce2-b456-4980-9837-866fa4320631 ? Nope, its all equal. That's the problem, that's his point: How fair is it when Kobe's death is far more important than someone else?

MODS, please, lock the thread. We already know that the pilot WILL be blamed for the accident (flying in poor conditions that someone in the Navy would say was UNSAFE) and soon the world will forget...

It's been DECADES but I still remember building that kit in 1984 or 85...

Do the FASA designs count as the expanded universe?  If so then it isn't even in the top (how many designs did FASA do?)

at least 6 to 8 that I recall (depending on if you are using TOS or TMP stats) at least... I doubt it if anything not directly controlled by paramount/CBS counts (have they done any of the GR-decreed Non-cannon designs like the Saladin-class?)

Hey now, I compared JJ-Trek to terminal radiation poisoning... it's every bit as painful, unpleasant, and incurable as the inoperable Stage 4 brain cancer that is CBS's disgustingly racist and regressive take on Star Trek, but in different ways.

There is, however, an extra-special place in the deepest, darkest, foulest oubliette in the bowels of Hell for the cretins responsible for Star Trek: Into Darkness's butchering Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan and one of the most powerful and iconic Star Trek scenes.  May they rot there for all eternity, enduring thrice-hourly rectal probings with jumbo pineapples covered in carpet tacks, rock salt, and drain cleaner.

you are forgetting a few choice chemicals: MIL-PRF-83282 used as the lubricant. 90W used as the affixture on the pine apple (or MIL-L-17111 when you don't have a 55gal barrel of 90W available. happens ALL the time when you are on cruise) and P-D-680(?) for the cancer requirements...

I've gone on record that I LIKED Trek 2009. I wish STiD just was done... differently (but yes, it showed that JJ is complete r*tard) and I did like STB... but I don't think any further JJtrek movies will happen. The cast has already moved on...

….a lovely article about the passing of Mr. Peart... :/

Gasaraki… I vaguely remember this... wasn't this sort of another kind of EVA (but no angels)?

I want the 1970's Marvel Comics version of the Shogun Warriors...

Aladdin. X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Star Wars TFA. This combo makes far more sense…  

Long Live the Macho Man...

Welp, he's busy doing freelance work now (and deadlines are merely guidelines in the hereafter).... *salutes*

Is their goal to try and get some battletech players to purchase some of these minis for unseen play?

God I didn’t like the film at all. I knew what kinda ah!t show I was in when the title roll came up.

Well, you can always uncannon them in your head (it worked for Star Trek V)...

This: would make my brother weep with joy...

No growlers... and no GSE, either. No hummer parked in the pack forward of the Lel-1, no H-60. That's a ridiculous clean hangar bay... You can't even see the f*cking Jack Tester that would be hidden in that sea of black waaaaaaaay in the background of the Bay-1. Seriously, they must have CGI'd the non-skid. you could scrub the deck for years and it would still look like sh*t unless you just applied it.

interesting... why did they NOT use the same engine from MWO for MW5? I've not purchased this (only Battletech PC) and I suppose I should wait a bit then...

It took a bit for me to accept the VAs for the dub... but they work for me. I especially enjoyed the gamelan VAs. When Domal is introduced, they did that initial speaking in Gamelan verbiage only switching to English later. I wonder if the VAs where smiling when they said "Flatten them!" in German?
