  1. I've been fine with the newer shows too. I think the fan-rage faction just likes to fanrage.
  2. Makes perfect sense. Boba is obviously allergic to the acidic Sarlacc saliva, which caused him to bloat while being digested, and also damaged his endocrine system.
  3. It was better than "The Inhumans," but They clearly didn't learn their lesson about tossing in a "we were here the whole time" group without giving proper weight to them. A D+ show with a different era per episode would have worked better. Plus, how did Ego completely miss the presence or another Celestial when he was on Earth?
  4. Exactly. The fact that Boba keeps trying to do good here & keeps creating bigger messes despite constant warnings is completely intentional from what I can tell. I fully expect Boba to wind up alone (maybe with Fennec) and ousted from Tatooine by the end.
  5. Let's be real here, Boba Fett like his father before him has always had a penchant for making dumbass decisions. The Geonocians truly improved on the tactical thinking when making the rest of the clones. Jango & Boba alike have a nasty habbit of thinking "this is gonna be cool" that's not tempered with a "but maybe it's not the smartest idea." Sometimes it works out (dropping Solo in a hold & freezing him in carbonite), but more often it gets them decapitated or dropped in a pit.
  6. You'll see, Basara will have the most epic cameo, literally eclypsing Isamu & Max's recent appearance!
  7. Makes you wonder if Ai kun wasn't an isolated incident, with the Protoculture looking for ways to engineer their own empathic pets so they wouldm't havevto risk of summoning Vajra murder swarms wanting their larva back. Then just finally deciding "screw it, we're making runes."
  8. Probably closer to Keith Richards or Jeff Beck. Or Mayhaps he's gone more Bowie, experimenting in other genres. Correct, I get the impression that The Protoculture just bluntly hammered the Protodevelin into submission with song. Basara on the other hand taught them to sing "with", and generate their own Spiritia. Which now begs the question, was the Song Energy system fold quartz based, and were Fire Bomber just strong in fold receptors? Since Delta pointed out humanity is increasing in the number of those who have receptors, it's not unlikely. I'm also starting to wonder if Gubaba's species with their seemingly empathic abilities are related to or an early experiment for what would become runes. Possibly an attempt to replicate the abilities if larval Vajra. And yes, I know I'm digging hard into retconing Delta into earlier series. But, it's strangely consistent. Kawamori may just be very adept at midiclorianing the franchise.
  9. Nope, Basara is going to be rocking longer and harder than The Rolling Stones.
  10. I've actually warmed up to Delta on my recent second watch. While there definitely are far too many shortcuts taken with moving the story along vs character depth, the overall setting & Windemere thing got me thinking. - Roid being able to use the Protoculture ruins + Star Singer + Fold Receptors + Fold Bacteria to hack all PC species into a Vajra styled network seems to be the intended function of those ruins & Star Singer. Hell, the rune's & short life spans of the Wibdemere(ians?) may truly have been an intention to use them as a control mechanism of said system. Which brings me to... - Do we know if the Protoculture faction that setup & ran in the Globular Cluster was separate from the faction that created the Evil series in the Varuta system? And, is there a time frame on either project in relation to the other? I ask because creating the Evil Series always seemed like a heavy handed answer taking our their oppositions Zentradi (even before they were powered up by the Protodevelin). However, if creating the Evil was in direct response to fighting against being hive-minded, the OP nature of what they made makes a lot more sense. - Is it more than (Proto) culturally that the Mayan origin story shares the same relationship that Windemere & Ragna does? Arkan/Song of the Wind, Sara/Heinz, both having an incredibly similar concept of "Kadun" (is that confirmed to be a Protoculture word?), more than re-using concepts between shows, I'm starting to think there is a big picture story buildup involved. Do we know if the AFOS & creation of the Mayan island people happened in relation to the Protoculture City being left on Earth (as the DYRl plates seem to be suedo canon) Introduced at the end of Absolute Live may have bigger ramifications than that could play out with PC lore in future stories.
  11. Anyone still watching? I've got a theory that Elle is actually (or becomes) Luv from 2049, but things are definitely slow going.
  12. I'I somehow missed Ernest Johnson & Guld being played by the same person, but in hindsight knew his voice sounded comfortably familiar. I'm actually hoping that the whole international licensing resolution was to make way for an anime adaptation of "The First. It's 2022, so everyone cross their fingers! Back on topic, I was listening to the Absolute Live soundtrack today, and still can't wait to see it's placement in the movie.
  13. Wow, Kancolle is back? Maybe there is still hope for "Haruhi" & "Spice and Wolf".
  14. No one was prepared to see bright eyed naive preteen Darth Vader caught up in an illegal trade federation embargo, and the fan outrage was palpable (pun intended). For my part, it honestly took me until Tartikovsky's Clone Wars along with Ep III to be won over by the prequels, which I now love along with the rest of the franchise. But yeah, anyone who thinks this Ressurections fan hate is anything close to the Phantom Menace hate parade either wasn't there, or wasn't paying attention.
  15. I just wish it wasn't a full year between seasons. Maybe season 5 will reveal Hillary Swank with another rival Dojo. 😘
  16. It's an epilogue movie that essentially covers all the MZ23 Part III stuff that the first III movies didn't. The plot is essentially: - The hero didn't win, he just stopped everyone from being killed. - The hero has now become part of the system as the price for his previous actions - The system still doesn't trust humanity, but there's a bit of progress. - The heroine is still trapped in the system, let's get her out. - Big cyber heist. This is literally the plot of MZ23 PIII. In fact we can now clearly break it down to: The Matrix = Megazone 23 Part I The Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions = Megazone 23 Part II The Matrix Resurrections = Megazone 23 Part III (seriously, even the videogame thing). Notable differences of course being that Neo is rescued while Shogo died as Wong Dai & was replaced as "Sector 7G Operator" by Eji (as Bugs really should have replaced Neo).Trinity has become a hybrid of Eve & Yui. All in all, I'm fine with Ressurections, as I was expecting it to be closure to the story of "The One" and "Trinity." I'm not mad at Waxhowski going back & giving them a "good end", and really, 60 years is too short a span of time for things to have gotten significantly better. The only thing I myself would really change is the unceremonious off-screen death of "The Oracle." Since we had 2 Smith's (Smith Smith & Morpheus Smith), I would have preferred Morpheus Smith to be the Oracle in disguise.
