    They of SW team threw those headings on that white board as starting points. They did it, not the fans. It went public, and people have the right to comment whatever within civil lines about it. And considering how most of the SW projects have most of the headings on that whiteboard, it's indicative that these are their constantly used starting points.

    Maybe you right. I never said it's for Ahsoka or a show directly. Used it as an example how things are likely planned there.

    They had planning, that of staffing too many contemporary ideologies along with memberberries bait in an overcooked lasagna. We all remember this taken from their behind the scenes... I've yet to encounter a SW majority that wished for 'Dinosaurs'. 🙄 (Still cannot find any official survey or poll about this) Oh, and Star Wars "not pro-war"? 🤣 And they really nailed "Relatable characters" and "Complicated monsters". 🤣

    Got it. So they're intended to be on the wings. For a moment I thought it was meant to be some sort of wind up mechanism. 😅

    This is pure gold. Always amuses me. When I was teaching many moons ago, in the design field for entertainment, I was so hard on my students about not copying existing work... And sometimes I'd still get blatant copying along with a pretty typed out page justifying it.

    I get you. But I'm probably in the minority here that feels Macross 7 and Delta just feel disjointed from the rest in this time line, so perhaps a alternative timeline rebuild that is more consistency wouldn't be so bad?

    Saw the trailer. Looks good. But anyone know the meaning of "minus one"?

    I was really anticipating for some Cyberpunk Edge Runners Figmas... instead they slotted them into pop-up parade line... 😔

    What are those red rocket things sticking out on it's back?
  10. Raikkonen
    Yeah, I watch occasionally their toy store tours. That's quite a drastic comment. But please... elaborate more how you see people with an a opinion about a certain film, could align themselves with N@zi's?

    Doesn't matter. Just keep buying more Hasbro figures.

    Merch sales is already kicking them in the nut with action figures, as most of the staff since the 90s was horded by 80s kids that now are starting to focus on other priorities in life all while the kids of the following generations grew up into digital media.

    I agree. Hence I kept mentioning "these" and "hero films" as my argument is about superhero fatigue that's it accumulated by a saturated market of a poor quality content of late. I'm not disagreeing that other franchises can't succeed. I remain to the opinion that for the next lot of Superhero films to get audiences really excited, then there shouldn't be one for a long time.

    Well, she and the writers made that easy.

    People will always show up. But gone are the days these type of films will make the numbers they once did. We're now past the end of the first Marvel story arc followed by years of disappointing hero films and shows, saturated market with same formula, and all competing against streaming where it's more convenient for most.
  17. Raikkonen
    It is quite... unrecognizable and generic. I really don't like the gorilla arms.

    I agree that good writing plays a huge part in word of mouth, but lets also look at somethings: - When Disney+Marvel started with Ironman 1, they turned it into a yearly event that built anticipation during that wait. Then it became 2 films a year, 3 films a year, to eventualy 4-5 films a year along with 3-4 shows. And all with the same formula, protagonists overcome whatever challenges to level up so to stop galaxy ending event. - While that happened, DC was trying to play catch up with it's own versions, albeit same formula. And then along the way, we had others, mainly shows trying to jump on the same ban wagon all pretty much from comics/graphic novels. Me personally, I use to consume all of it, then after Endgame, I felt exhausted that I stopped caring like I did because suddenly it kicked in that it's the same repetitive staff that will soon be rebooted so we can consume more of it. And a lot of people in my circle feel the same with the usual "Oh, another Batman." "Oh, again Spiderman." And this is happening because there's too much, asides of bad quality too lately, and we're not given a breather, a chance to digest the last as another one is already pumping teaser trailers. As for guardians 3, it still didn't deliver expectations of when they set out making it (So reliable youtubers say?), and it made it's numbers for several separate reasons, 2 being that girls want to see Chris Pratt, and it filled growing void of late in cinema, that of high end action space Sci-fi. As for the Boys, that show solely relies in selling vulgar and violet shock, remove those 2 gimmicks, and it wouldn't have gone beyond season 1 regardless how memorable of a villian Homelander is. Invicible? No one outside of the US cares for it, and took so long for the producers to decide on a season 2. Superhero Fatigue is real. Numbers speak for themselves. And it's only a matter of time, that good shows and films will flop due to exhaustion of constantly the same thing. Look at Merch and comics, those too are no longer Juggernauts they were once...

    Gun really needs to pull out every trick from his hat as superhero fatigue is spreading and lasting longer than any plague.

    I'm happy to read this. No happy Cameron is mentioning this considering he works on a calendar based on Jupiter.
  21. Raikkonen
    Due to space and other priorities, I'm still undecided to pull the trigger on this one, or wait for the VF-25G Michael Blanc Revival, or hold out longer for the eventual Ozma Revival...
  22. Raikkonen
    Thanks for insight. But this has me more curious to why then Macross Zero Merch (the tamashi HMR) is now allowed globally, yet an international release/Dub of the series remains taboo. Which has me thinking that maybe the Sunrise project might end being a redo of Zero?
  23. Raikkonen
    I will during the week.
  24. Raikkonen
    So HG has a say on DYRL? But lets say Sunrise does a remake of the original with slightly altered designs, and maybe the story has some deviations along the same path, and it will be a Japan release? Can HG intervene?

    The film lost me when her levelled up axe throwing skills tripped over basic physics.
