In my view: The armour guy (Maximus) was utterly devoid of any consistency, one moment a clumsy buffoon, then a bit of psychopath, then mister aloof of the year, and all while he kept changing direction. He was too annoying with his multiple personality issues, and seemed the writers really know how to build him as every time something twitched in his head, the same pity guilt flashback played out... almost every episode. If anything, at one point, I was like really "Really? They're seriously trying to copy Fin from SW and can't even get that right?"

I'm not going into detail with the amount of plot holes and face palm moments with vault 31 to 33 (Plenty of YT videos breaking that down), but I stand firm that the ghoul grabbed back attention each time he appeared as the rest of the show was a reheated stew of cliché characters and obvious twists. 

 

Maximus seemed extremely different from Finn to me. They really didn’t have the same look or purpose. Finn was a dude that got ptsd after his first real battle and just wanted to run away and hide, but then got dragged into things. Maximus didn’t want out, he wanted more authority and his first experience of action was with someone that had no respect for him or his own safety and he knew that he was being pushed into a situation he more than likely wasn’t coming back from. I think most people would’ve acted the same in that particular situation. As far as his buffoonery, I’d say that’s mostly due to extreme lack of training. He had absolutely no experience with that suit and it showed. I don’t feel like there were any multiple personalities at all. He just had a slight change of view when he realized that he might have a chance at an easy life, but went back on track soon after.

 I didn’t really notice any plot holes with 33 or 32 going on, it seemed like things were explained as the show went, but I also haven’t seen any YouTube videos explaining them. There were a lot of spoilery videos and I avoided anything like that til after the show was over. I’ll see if I can find any later

Finally got to watch Suzume last night. Think I got something in the eye...

Be careful, there were a few recalls on eye drops recently

The ghoul is 90% of the show. Remove him, and it's very forgettable. 

Don’t get me wrong, the ghoul is very important. But there’s a lot I liked other than him. I loved the Armor guy and awkward armor shenanigans and the stuff going on in the vaults is pretty entertaining as well. There’s a lot of little mysteries going on in the show. The ghoul and his story are definitely the glue that helps tie things together and a lot of things revolve around his character

Every moderoid has come with spare clear parts up until now for customizing so you should still be good with the standard kit and repainting

I’ve got a couple that don’t. I’ll wait for it to release and see if this one does come with a spare clear part, then I’ll probably get a second one and put clear blue over the visor 

My lady was off work yesterday and we had just watched the week’s episode of shogun and she decided that we should watch part two of Rebel moon. I wasn’t too enthusiastic about it, but we had already watched all our shows that we watch together and couldn’t think of a movie to watch and the alternate was starting to sound like Ricky Stanicky, but we ended up with Rebel Moon part two. It’s kinda more of the same but without the whole trying to get a team together kinda thing. At around the part where people were trying to explain their backgrounds my lady was asking angrily if I was awake. The last thing I remember was a bunch of slomo birds eating some slomo spaceships while a slightly less slomo dude was watching a slomo lady doing a king of the world pose. I guess I was snoring really loudly. I went to bed and she finished it off. I’ll have to try and finish the movie one day. She said it was better than part one. 

I guess I gotta get some rest before attempting more slomo in movies and should’ve known this might happen again. I probably wouldn’t have liked Ricky Stanicky, cause it really sounded stupid, but I probably wouldn’t have dozed off

Just preordered 2 of each of the Ingram Econos. Love the design. Might even grab the recolor from goodsmile later on.

They definitely look great. I don’t have as much space to do doubles, but I preordered one of each of the standard ones and on the fence on the recolor because I could just repaint the thing tan, but the clear part is a different thing.

Damn, I'm always on the opposite side of sentiment on this site, because this trailer looks awesome to me!

 

I guess I'll just have to enjoy watching it on behalf of everyone here!

If you kindly let us know what you liked about the trailer, we can ruin it for you so you can become a bitter a.. hole like the rest of us. You’ll benefit from saving money on ticket prices for movies, but you’ll start grumbling at the freebies

Hehe, cool man!

I wonder: why is there the joystick in the middle? I always thought the stick is on the right hand panel.

If you notice, it’s not connected. Hikaru broke it and he’s gonna crash……..again

I'm sure they'll like it too. Definitely Sat morning cartoon fare.

I don’t know if it’s good enough for Saturday mornings. Looks more like PBS kids. Like maybe the Arthur crowd more than the action cartoons crowd

We all know that Anime was often (nearly always?) butchered when brought to the US in the seventies and eighties - but this is what somebody in Japan did to the closing credits for Space 1999.  Made the worse by the English version only have music (and darn good music too) so there was no need to translate anything.  (and yup, not the record for thread necromancy but this one is old)

 

 

This is just how Japanese teach sex education and the subject of fertilizing an egg

On a comics forum, I was instructed that Storm's magical background has comics precedence. That's probably not enough for me to justify a magical girl transformation + Saiyan hair growth, but I thought it looked cool. I was also reminded that Storm transformed her civilian clothes into her Jim Lee costume in the original show's pilot, so at least there's some consistency. But anyway, seeing David Cockrum's Storm design on screen is a big win IMO, regardless if it makes sense.

I didn't really care as much for the Shi'ar plot. As I mentioned earlier, Deathbird failed in her coup attempt against Lilandra, and I think the show's continuity would be better if there were more apparent consequences for her treason. I like that you pointed out that someone's been jailed for "murdering" Xavier even though every X-Man knew he was recovering in outer space. If you've never seen the classic Fox Kids show, this would be pretty jarring. 

I like Superman and a lot of Superman pastiches, so I thought Gladiator was pretty awesome in this episode.

Few episodes in and I like it, not love though. My wife is meh with her opinion, lol. Neither of us played the game so that may matter?

I don’t think playing the game matters. My lady and I both loved it and think it’s the best show of the year so far . My daughter did play the games, and she likes it as well

I enjoyed episode 6.

 

There really wasn’t enough Nightcrawler in an episode where he was shown so well in the title. He’s been way underused in the show ever since the old episodes. Although he had good moments in the Pryde of the X-Men pilot episode thing

What did I just watch?

Kid friendly designs bouncing around doing physical comedy. I understand that's for the really young kids but who is the humor for? Adult fans? Nope to them Transformers is serious business. For the little kids parents how have to take them to see this? Cringe dialog like that is going to make their experience better. Doesn't matter what the Transformers say kids will enjoy the bouncing robots.

Car Keys the Movie.

This is toddler friendly at best. G1 transformers seems like adult animation compared to this

I am definitely not in the age group for this movie.  I still do not like it.  I hate murderous B-127.  One positive is no Humans in the movie I hope.

The age group here is maybe three. Anyone older than that would probably be disappointed by the treatment of the characters. A child at four or five probably already knows the main characters and would be thrown off by their goofiness. As far as humans, probably not, but from this preview they’d be an improvement for once

Finished the most recent episode of X-Men 97 and it was an odd mix of good animation, meh animation, good action and an bunch of cringy moments.

With all the odd X-Men popularity, I’m wondering why they still haven’t done a Rogue comic style figure yet and wouldn’t mind Nightcrawler now that he’s getting a slight bit more showtime 

This is crap. Even children deserve respect and a bit better from this franchise.

Looks like an alternate version of the mark 2 , I think it’s just a recolor. Available othe Goodsmile website

Oops I didn't make the link earlier between Bandai's and Takani's art. Too bad Bandai didn't make a sample of Milia's GBP. Although Max's look alright, I am thinking her's might look too striking as I imagine hers being color swapped of Max's.

 

Haha not only BBTS didn't update the pic, but they didn't update the price either. It's USD100 on KC's site now.

I guess bbts has the discount price then, cause mine was $87.99 and then there’s the $4 for shipping and that’s still about $8 cheaper 

Seems that the crew that developed this show are moving on to Golden Axe. From what I’ve heard, it’s based on the video games, but an adult comedy version for Comedy Central

Why Koji? Kusumoto was the ace. her face would sell more kits 

I’d like to see her in the prototype version and have that released as a moderoid as well
