No, it's definitely coming, what are you talking about? No, it is Deinitely. Coming. NO, DEFINITELY.

Fox moved it back to coincide with the Chinese New Year. Chinese audiences apparently had a very good reception to the X-Men: Dark Phoenix trailer, so that one was moved from the February slot to summer '19 to maximize profit there, and this was moved from December to February to capitalize on being one of the first movies to come out after their new year. Fox may be releasing the PG-13 cut of Deadpool in December to cover that now open spot, I dunno.

All Things Videogame Related: EXTREME VS!!

Taking a break from all this Kingdom Hearts-ing to play the SC6 beta. Some of these people have TERRIBLE connections! Sheesh! Now I remember why I stopped playing online! -
Eh... ish. At least according to the little media I've seen and word from people more knowledgeable than I. In the beginning X-Men WAS greatly influenced by the 60's civil rights movement, but it's generic enough that it can incorporate/be applicable to most struggles for civil rights. The X-Men movies made the X-Men more explicitly "about" the LGBTQ movement... ...but again, its real-world parallels come and go with the times. As for Magneto and Xavier = Malcolm and Martin, that's fanon... based slightly in fact. I'm sure the latter informed the former, but the comparison gets played up a bit too much by the fandom. It's telling that Stan Lee himself has rarely (if ever, again I'm just going off what others say) expressed as much or confirmed it when it got mentioned. Jack Kirby never made the comparison. Marvel itself didn't and continue to not say much about it. I think it's a bit of a "leave well enough alone" type thing on their part, and attempts at making these characters more... "legitimate" than they are on the fan communities' part. Recent scholars - not sure if that's the right word, sounds too academic, but that's basically what they are - examining this interpretation have found the comparison superficial at best, and reductive at worst.

oh my god you friggin' nerds do such dumb stuff with your $300 toys i love it EDIT: I used a credit card. Filed one corner down a bit, wiggled it in between the wing and the leg, and eventually things worked out. Took a lot of finesse.

Anyone have any info on whether this is a 2.0 or a recolor? Maybe a reissue with parts to make either? MG 1/100 S Gundam/Ex-S Gundam

Oh yep, shoulda actually read the error message. The MWFDefaultWhiteBlue_Current theme doesn't work well with links sometimes. Switched to the dark theme and the error corrected itself.
-
What causes this? Has anyone been able to figure it out? technoblue, your link showed up as that. [[Template forums/front/global/embedTopic is throwing an error. This theme may be out of date. Run the support tool in the AdminCP to restore the default theme.]]

Oh, also MG V2 Assault Buster Gundam.

There never should have been a large-scale battle to begin with, nor should Leia's escape have led directly into A New Hope. ANH always read as the Tantive IV being caught unawares by the Star Destroyer while on its secret Rebel mission. R1 recontextualizing that felt to me like one of its... well, it's a minor thing in the end, just a rotten cherry on top of the many-bad-decisions sundae. EDIT: Oh, also I don't know if there's a dedicated thread for this or maybe it better fits in the general TV thread, anime thread?, etc., but here's something new about the latest SW animated show, Star Wars Resistance.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
kajnrig replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
"Colonies Liberation Organization" is still the most hilarious, stupid thing ever. EDIT: It wouldn't be a Ver Ka. It's not even a Ver EW, really. It, or at least the HRM Wing Zero, is an entirely original design based on the Ver Ka and taking cues from the Glory of the Losers manga adaptation, wherein the Wing Zero goes through many many revisions throughout the course of the story. This specific design is unique to this model kit. (The GFFMC Wing Zero more closely mirrors one of the newer GoL revisions.) -
Did you have to loosen the screws holding the joint tight?

Per the Youtube channel Ace Combat Fan, Kotobukiya are working on a X-02 Wyvern model kit. It'll probably be the same 1/144 scale as the XFA-27 they released a little while ago. EDIT: Apparently the XFA-27 hasn't come out yet, will be soon. Whoops.

Also, thanks for that, Sildani. Turns out that was it. I stopped just short of the click.
-
Oh, speaking of landing gear, are the rear gears completely vertical when deployed? Mine are very slightly still canted back, but not enough for me to think they're broken. And yes, they're properly deployed with th he audible click.
-
Yes you can, and people have been doing it for millennia. Heck, Disney are notorious for reimagining "classic" fairy tales. That's a more reasonable sentiment.
-
I wish they could do super powers right. None of the mainline X-Men movies have ever been very creative with depicting super powers. Even the best of the lot, First Class, tended to stick to "Person A shows off their power, then Person B shows off theirs, then they fist-fight." For a franchise all about the team, there's very little teamwork in these movies where mutants use their powers to augment each other.
-
Nah, the toy and hobby divisions are entirely separate from each other, so you would see a brand new tooling if they do. It's this separation that has sometimes seen them competing with each other, with similar products coming out from both at the same time. The GFFMC Wing Zero toy and Hi-Res Model Wing Zero, for instance. I do wonder how Bandai Hobby would interpret the design, though, with all its idiosyncrasies. And who knows? There might be just that at the All Japan Hobby Show this weekend.

I did that and the fit problem was still there. I'll take another look-see tonight, otherwise I'll chalk it up to another unfortunate QC issue. Tried it again, got it looking like in the manual, compared it to reviewers' wings, and it's still floppy-like. I mean the way it looks is already kind of bad - well, "bad" - since it doesn't pivot at the right area, but also it IS just kind of freeform. Even when it's in the "correct" position it's not locked into place, you can easily move the wing around, move the swing bar around, etc. But mostly I just got trapped by the anime magic and expected the wings to work differently than they do. They're a nitpick, not a concern. I too wish they would provide more spares. A spare VF in each box, for instance, would not go amiss.

Push it deeper into the back of the battroid, or push it down more when you fold it on top of the rear nose section? I'll try both when I get back to messing around with it later today. Thanks for the advice!
-
Yeah, I double-checked with the video to be sure it wasn't me. Oh well. Maybe a fresh look tomorrow will reveal what I did wrong and/or yet another QC issue (most of which thankfully have missed me).
