    I know there’s a few Easter eggs and such, but I don’t feel like as a casual that there is really much that needs background in this show for a person that hasn’t read the comics or watched the cartoons or played many of the video games other than a bit of minor context. The writing is so simplistic that it just doesn’t feel like a necessity. The majority of the discussions over the show are more focused on goofy mistakes of bad writing and situations that come about due to those errors. There’s things like the Witches and their use of the not force that some will want to go back into other media to see why they were persecuted or hated, but it’s pretty unnecessary in the end because the writers usually spell it out by saying that they tend to use the dark side magic and they’re called witches, so they must be on the opposite side of the spectrum because most entertainment usually makes witches the evil force of magic. Overall the show is underwhelming and has the most dull characters. It tends to have some really cringy moments, like that horrible two are many song and attack me now with all your strength speeches that anger the die hard fans that stand out because there’s just not really much great to talk about. It makes for a show that’s on the borderline between meh and this is pure trash, with the hope that things might teeter towards meh and might just roll past it on the ground to be an ok show, but not so far as to ever be a great show

    Looks ok so far, I might’ve been tempted if not for the recent max factory kit

    It’s still a very cool item

    The show isn’t anywhere near as fun as the discussions about it. There’s some odd bits one person will catch that someone else hasn’t and you almost feel compelled to rewatch it to see what it was, but it’s usually stupid little things like shaved wookies or burning rocks that really don’t affect the story and other things like odd choices that don’t make sense, but are there anyway.

    I started using glass files rather recently. Oddly they can be bought in women’s beauty sections and are surprisingly great at filing without leaving the scratchy surface that metal ones do and they’re rather inexpensive. I didn’t believe the hype when I got a set and was very surprised at the results

    I wouldn’t go that far, but it’s definitely getting close to the border line

    Honestly, it’s tough to try and explain to parents or young children, but at least by the time you pass away your daughter will be older and probably into anime. It’s one of those older generation things that would make it far less acceptable, but I’d be more uncomfortable having my own adult daughter finding that on a shelf of mine while I’m still alive. It would definitely be an uncomfortable moment.

    Imagine Newton’s confusion when a road apple falls from the sky to hit him on the head.

    Those softer plastics can be a pain sometimes

    Looks like you’re heavy work paid off

    Sounds like a kit that I need to get. I’m trying to keep things a bit smaller here and there and the 1/100 version is boxed up due to lack of space. That top horn is so tall it doesn’t fit on any shelves that I have. The 1/144 should fit a bit better. How’s the mobility of the joints?

    It’s shaved on the sides of the head. I really wasn’t looking either, but as soon as I saw it, I couldn’t unnotice it. Now it haunts me

    The most interesting thing about this show are the speculations and realizations that the writers were just stupid. It’s one of those shows where everyone wants to over analyze it and when it turns out that things were just dumb and pointless with cringy toppings. Even I find myself hoping they go the slightly more complicated route, but I’ll probably just be equally disappointed by its simplicity I’m still having shaved wookie nightmares.

    That’s something that keeps coming up, but I’m thinking more of an electrical fire that could’ve killed them from smoke inhalation. The witches didn’t look burned to me. There’s also the bigger possibility that the fire had nothing at all to do with their deaths. I think Bad mom had more to do with it than is shown in the episode and there’s definitely a reason for super hippie to commit suicide. As far as parental wishes, it seems like good mom wanted OSHA to make her own decision

    Yeah, the 1/100 kit was one of the first in the IMS series and had a lot of gaps and odd fitting. They’ve definitely improved since then. I’ve been thinking about getting that kit and wanted to hear more about it, but honestly, nobody really reviews them in English. I was curious about things like how well it went together and where the seams are and if it had much mobility. If you can, can you fill us in on that info and maybe throw in some cool pictures? It looks really great with that bit of weathering in those little grooves

    After removing the paint, but before smoothing the mustache, he reminded me of Henry Cavil as Superman 😁

    Yeah, I’ve seen some twins that practically hated eachother, but there’s also been many documented stories about twins that had been separated either at birth or very young ages that have grown to be surprisingly identical without k owing the other twin. Things simple like how they dress or hairdos, to more complicated things like career paths or even marrying near identical partners. I think that twin bond and something as mythical as the “thread” should play a bigger role in these particular characters like you’ve said. Instead they just went with a dark side/light side separation. It would have been far more interesting if they were both a bit more middle ground and then somehow showing the difference in who influenced them after separation. I think the reason they get tied to to the republic is basically been in their titles from the beginning. They’ve always been known even from the old school films as being Jedi Knights. That title kind of implies that they are in some type of service to the republic. Personally, I’m always a little disappointed that whenever Britain gets involved in an armed conflict that Sir Paul Mcartney doesn’t pick up his sword to help defeat those enemies he’s sworn to defend his country and the royal family from.

    That’s basically what I said above. The weird thing is that the show is so tame in most things, yet they tried that kinky no pants outfit in a world that still keeps their kink in the after hours mostly hidden away from a standard conservative society. But she just walks in no pants and nobody notices as though she’s just doing things as usual. And then the creators of the series thought about it in the next batch of episodes and thought, maybe she’s cold back there. The no pants thing fits the manga world since it’s so extreme, but the series setting doesn’t work

    I think it’s more inline with the manga, but in the manga, every female seems to be kinky. The show on the other hand makes her seem out of place with most people in business suits and her walking around in a thong and a badge, yet no one seems at all distracted

    It might just be clear yellow and a little clear brown, but it looks great however they got the mix

    Pants on version

    That’s something you don’t see everyday

    I think this is the best response to the show so far. People shouldn’t over read into this because of layers of stupidity that will fold and unfold as the show goes on
