  1. I think we’d be better off if they cut the director. There’s some interesting concepts, but those don’t get flushed out. The pacing is weird and the slo mo gotta go.
  2. Any noticeable edits for those that have been able to see this stuff on D+
  3. It’s definitely a bit older, but I really loved the original series, even though it was during that kill em all era. The Ova was pretty great looking and had some interesting takes on the designs. Love those bugs and the ova fancy bugs
  4. There’s not too many things in the acolyte that are toy worthy. Most of the characters were the dullest of the dull and the ships really were mostly non existent and that one little barely a droid and a cute fuzzy thing that wasn’t cute or even likable or particularly sane. And a wookie lacking brushable hair. If Bandai did a character kit of Smilo, I might pick it up just for fun, and practice metal weathering
  5. I don’t really think good as that subjective. There are people that are easy to please and will enjoy the Acolyte despite its manny flaws. But those people don’t understand that there’s a difference between good and being able to enjoy something bad. There are bad things I totally love. I love Troma movies, but I will never say they’re good movies. They’re terrible and there’s nothing subjective about it, but I love watching them. There are surprisingly people that actually love Yoko Ono, but those people also need to understand that they’re enjoying something bad. Joy is what’s truly subjective and it’s absolutely ok to enjoy something that’s bad.
  6. Completely agree here, although decent effects help here as well. They’re gonna complain even when it’s great. I remember watching Top Gun with a friend that was all into everything aviation and even though he loved the film, he couldn’t stop complaining about the inaccuracies while watching. The one I remember most had to do with the direction of the throttle when using the afterburners. He would bring that scene up whenever someone talked about the movie. I kinda feel like even if we get the greatest starwars event, it will still have something that fans will complain about. At least they won’t complain about it being the worst thing they ever saw.
  7. Not a religious person at all, but I do hope that you make it through whatever dark times you’ve been going through. Hopefully picking up on a project helps at picking up the pieces and if prayer works for you, then keep on doing whatever helps get you through. Good lick on the rest of the project and hopefully some good comes down your way.
  8. We watched three of the new episodes yesterday. I think it’ll get better, but for only being about half an hour each they really drag. There’s very little tension going on, but hints that things will happen soon. We’ll probably finish the rest of this batch today
  9. Those things seemed to snap without much pressure on mine. I kept thinking oh, I can fix this, then another crumble and I just kept the one that didn’t break for measuring their replacements.
  10. Nice looking destroid. Mine needs a replacement for the antenna. One of mine snapped in half just clipping it off the runner and kinda crumbled at a lower spot just before where it gets thicker. I’ll probably use some thin spring and wire for a replacement. Just be really careful with those parts, so you don’t end up having to do minor surgery
  11. That’s usually the opposite of some of these games, although not the only time something like that has happened. There seems to be a rather interesting story behind this game that I never knew about.
  12. Good may be subjective, but this show definitely wasn’t that. It’s gonna be tough to find anyone truly sad if this doesn’t get a follow up season.
  13. Same here, but no one in Star Wars ever does it just for fun. I ain’t rewatching this to see if she ever did, but it’s definitely at least implied. Her sister was force choking animals as a child and both were supposed to graduate witches academy or whatever
  14. Yeah, painting pilots usually just put pictures of ding dongs in the sky. It’s like they went back to high school after flight academy
  15. Ahsoka never really stopped using her skills. Obi on the other hand was shown to go force stupid after a while when his show started. That’s basically Star Wats since the beginning. There was the trilogy, a holiday special, Droids ,Ewoks and a couple of odd lost on Endor movies. I just don’t think we’d be complaining if the stuff was good. If they gave a good product, people would watch. We used to just know her as Chainway due to that smokers rasp
  16. Just caught up on the last episode. This season definitely suffers from a slow unfocused start, but definitely gets things rolling. It was an interesting end, but not quite as epic as the previous ones. Either way we’re left in an interesting spot here and hopefully it won’t be such a slow build in the next season. His facial hair was the mass and muscle
  17. If he got a few more seasons, he’d have been promoted to Rear Admiral Butt Master Chief
  18. Sounds like they’re firing the wrong teams. The writing and directing teams are the major problem here and in all of Disney’s current projects. I remember a certain male team mate that constantly advocated for putting the guy back in cryostasis and just going home. That one decision could’ve saved the entire crew. Ripley also was just a frail character to begin with. She may not have been super built, but she also never did anything that seemed out of character. She acted like a lady that had been stuck with a bunch of sailors, but always seemed to respect her fellow crew. Current Disney likes to take the female character that has an appearance that they’ve never done a days labor and all of a sudden they’re ultra badass. Not only that , but giving them the attitude to talk down to hero characters that have been doing far more for far longer with greater sacrifices. as far as the sequel trilogy, I kinda give it a bit of a pass since Rey had known how to fight with pole arms and had to scavenge and live on her own in a harsh environment. I also kinda give OSHA a similar pass since she had learned dark side skills as well as Jedi skills before she was abandoned. But here they had that definitely had some extreme pandering going on. But even with that cringe, the show could’ve been saved with good writing and direction. I don’t really think the actors were at fault and I also don’t think the sets were terrible and the effects were alright for a streaming series. There was an interesting concept here, but it wasn’t flushed out well and they didn’t know how to tell an 8 episode story. keeping dead Jedi dead was a good concept that the other recent shows didn’t know how to do and still remains as a highlight of this show. Thank you Jecki for doing what needed to be done and allowing a meme to murder you
  19. Oddly the gameplay looks a little closer to the cover design, but that’s pretty close to the cutscene, maybe just the upper legs and arms are a little longer than they should be, but not by much. I actually really like this design I really didn’t get a chance to play this one as much as Assault Suit Leynos, because I was totally obsessed with that on the genesis when it came out as Target Earth. So I really didn’t get as caught up in the Metal Storm info.
  20. This is the average Disney storyline for Male hero characters. They have to make them appear extra weak and failed and frail so their female replacement seems stronger and smarter. It’s the same thing they keep rehashing from Starwars in The Obi show and The sequels and Indiana Jones and even Willow. Even the Hulk and Nick Fury and Hawkeye felt like they were going down those paths. They literally be that storyline way too much and haven’t thought of a better way to make a really great aged wise master that hasn’t fallen into depression and self loathing. The original Trilogy had a wise master in Ol Ben Kenobi that had some regrets, but definitely wasn’t totally depressed and filled with self hatred. He had good spirits and was an uplifting character
  21. Is that from cut scenes? I don’t remember it looking like that in gameplay. Resin kit?
  22. Honestly, I didn’t really care much for Rogue one. It’s better than most Disney stuff though, but o just didn’t really like any of the characters. Especially that weird suicidal guy that gave up on his porch. I did like K-2so though. But I still liked the Andor series even though I never liked Andor himself. I still don’t know who Manny Bothans was Honestly, I found the story extremely easy to follow even though I’ve never read any of the novels, maybe a couple issues of a comic and only played one or two games and never bothered with the badly animated cg series. The cortosis thing got explained in the following episode well enough for me, but the rest of the stuff was mainly just terrible writing. I don’t think any amount of EU knowledge would help explain the actions of most of these characters like the beaver dude. It was mostly a problem that could have easily been solved by trimming this down to a single movie because there was just way too much time spent on nothing and repeating stuff that already happened and just overall delaying things
  23. I have fun with them. Just a bit of primer and then a quick panel lining to separate the areas that need color. Sometimes it’s fun just using some water color pencils since they’re easily erased and blended.
  24. Yeah, the ladies are gonna leave their boyfriends for it. I guess they needed some attention after that whole dune popcorn bucket fiasco
  25. I only watched a few episodes when they started a free preview on amazon, but I forgot to finish the first season before it got pulled. Not sad about that at all. It really wasn’t good. Maybe one day a better service will actually put some money into the show and deliver a better story
