    You came up with more or less the exact same answer that a thousand Robotech fans before you came up with when asked how they would have edited Robotech in accordance with more modern industry practices. No no no... this is when we get out our really good Sunday torches and pitchforks. Not our "wear around town" torches and pitchforks, the ones for special occasions. Which begs the question why you're energetically trying to assimilate the Kazon.

    Flattery will get you nowhere. Huh. So that was a thing. I'm not sure what the takeaway from that was supposed to be, but it's certainly a thing that exists. If that shot of the sky literally filled with old-school Star Destroyers is any indication, there's going to be some next-level BS going on to allow the Resistance's meager handful of soldiers to win.

    Max and Rick there look like they're on their first week at Rob Liefeld's gym.

    Somehow, this sounds vastly more interesting than the actual plot of The Rise of Skywalker. It's like that brief aside in Evangelion where Shinji isn't a total wuss.

    Gave Do You Love Your Mom and her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks a go... and dear sweet machine god this might actually be as bad as Isekai Cheat Magician. This feels less like an isekai series and more like a cheesy PornHub original setup for a hentai version of a stepmom movie.

    Really? Then let me rub some salt in the wound.

    For a lot of Robotech fans, I gather it's seen more as the opposite of a problem... there ain't much love for the old comics or novels except among the really hardcore fans. Really, I thought the Borg had standards?

    Oh my that's pretty. I've always really appreciated the reference too... kind of a missed opportunity to not call it the Havock-class, like the HMS Thunder Child from The War of the Worlds it's named for. It would've been surprisingly appropriate, given that the ship's debut was against the Borg, who find chaos (havoc) distressing beyond belief.

    Arson, murder, and jaywalking...

    Just finished Isekai Cheat Magician's 7th episode, and I have to say it's far and away the laziest show I've seen in YEARS. Nothing about it stands out except for how incredibly generic it all is. They killed off a character in this episode, and it was almost literally random. It came out of nowhere, it made no sense, and there was no reason for the protagonist to be broken up about it since he barely knew the person and she'd been trying to kill him previously. If it weren't so obviously trying to take itself seriously, I'd suspect it was a stealth parody.

    Probably still making vending machines that stalk people through the streets...

    The non-canon comic books and the Star Trek Relaunch novelverse have both featured Mirror!Picards. The Mirror!Picard of the Star Trek Relaunch novelverse is very much like Mirror!Spock from TOS, actually a decent person despite being surrounded by knife-wielding psychopaths. IIRC, when the Terran rebellion and its allies manage to overthrow the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance and establishes the Mirror Universe's equivalent of the Federation, he ends up in command of the Enterprise and leads a diplomatic mission to the Dominion (who are a generally-benevolent bunch in the Mirror Universe).

    Sean Connery said the same once... that's how we got Never Say Never Again, literally.

    I dunno, there are characters who aren't food snobs (e.g. Eddington, Paris, Janeway) who insist that replicators often do a pretty poor job with even simple dishes like tomato soup or pot roast. (Janeway and replicated pot roast becomes something of a running joke in Voyager, with it being suggested as a way to fend off the Kobali.) Very likely. Most of the other Starfleet ships we see in the same time period usually have a mess hall, and on occasion we've seen an additional senior officer's mess and/or a captain's mess. (Voyager's captain's mess became Neelix's kitchen.)

    Bounding Into Comics seems to be running with the Google Trends Star Trek: Discovery story. https://boundingintocomics.com/2019/08/22/google-trends-charts-hint-cbs-star-trek-discovery-might-be-a-complete-failure/

    Brian Daley, one half of the "Jack McKinney" duo, was writing Star Wars novels almost a full decade before he teamed with James Luceno to write Robotech's novelizations. He did a trilogy called The Han Solo Adventures, the first of which was published in September 1979. Yeah, it was a mess... End of the Circle is rightly considered an atrocity even by most Robotech fans.

    No way that lot could afford coke. That clueless lot were probably smoking oregano their dealer told them was weed. Well, that's what happens when your author C.S. Goto's you (before C.S. Goto was even a thing)... you get a shitty plot that was originally written for a completely different story, that often isn't even in the same genre. To this day I'd swear half those Robotech novels started out as rejected drafts for Star Wars books. It'd certainly explain why the books introduced something that was basically the Force and why all the VFs have energy shields. I'll laugh long and hard if that's how this mess ends... "by the way, you Robotech fans wasted the last 30 years of your lives. We're writing this garbage out once and for all."

    This looks like a trailer for a "Making of" featurette, not a movie.

    Since the war with the Machines is over, let's just go all-in on the cyberpunk dystopia and make it a stealth prequel to Blame!.

    HG's license is still exclusive WRT the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross series (and DYRL? as well, which they picked up the merchandising rights and ONLY the merchandising rights for around 2001).

    Oh, he's one of those carbon copy characters that was made for Robotech II: the Sentinels back in the 80's. He was the amoral mad scientist counterpart to good superscientist Dr. Lang (the character Macross fans know as the nameless chief engineer). He wasn't important except in the godawful novels, and his only real appearance of note since the reboot in '01 was getting arrested for high treason. Not a particularly interesting character, he was just your standard amoral mad scientist character.
  22. Seto Kaiba
    Wait, you mean to say there are actual human beings posting there? I thought it was just spambots spamming spambots. Maybe Pinhead from Hellraiser would be more appropriate, since he seems to think that this comic is a sight he has to show others.
  23. Seto Kaiba
    While there are undeniably less elaborate ways to engage in self-harm, who are we to kink-shame him?
  24. Seto Kaiba
    Presumably out of courtesy for any silent psychopaths on these boards that might actually want to read the comics?
  25. Seto Kaiba
    Probably best to wait for some kind of official statement from the SDCon organizers.
