    So, they may have actually delivered on this last ep. Building on stuff that happened in the actual show, rather than relying on folks knowing the original comic stories. The question is whether they’ll actually stick with what happened.

    Even at this 1/18th or 3.75” scale, a lot of these planes are surprisingly underscaled. I know a few folks on the board showed off what a true 1/18 scale fighter looks like. Those things were beasts.

    Sabine teaching Grogu how to be a Mando-Jedi? 😜 Thrawn plotting and scheming with Nevarro (Carl Weathers’ planet) in the middle of it all? There are some potential story ideas they could build up. But the question is how well will it work for a theatrical release. 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Yup, same fighter from 1988. The front landing gear got a little wonky on me. But it’s held together with some packing tape and such. The two pilots are from the newer 25th anniversary line. But the new figure still fits in the old X-19. One of the things I like about the 25th line was that those figures could still fit in most vintage vehicles. Not all of the vehicles, mind you. But a good chunk of them.

    Is this how we're supposed to do "poses" now?

    When Prince decides to cover a song : Bloody mad genius.

    The initial Ride Armor helmets look very Bioroid-ish. They definitely went with the right choice by going with the smooth helmet design. Looks more hero-ish.

    Kuiil: Ugh, I told Mando not to go with those used power converters. Grogu <thinking>: Can I hit him in the head with this? 😈

    Wow! Haven’t done a thread retirement/restart in YEARS!

    Expect more of the same from the new show. I swear it’s like the Cliff’s Notes/abridged versions of better comic book stories.

    Does some dark side stuff, and then pissed off and gets killed by Vader for causing Ahsoka to leave the Order?

    Finally get to upgrade the figure on the left, and have a figure that can do Dooku’s saber salute:

    Another two-fer this week. Solid eps, one being a slow-paced mood ep, the other being more action oriented. Again, it’s been a solid season. Even the fillers have had a few bits that were at least entertaining.

    Careful, you burn it and it may come back all blue and the glowy. 👻

    Another old custom. Trying to mimic the ROTJ pose on the Sail Barge: And yeah, I know he wasn’t wearing the glove yet.

    CHAPPY!!

    So yeah, still feeling like this new series is lacking somehow, just as with the original series. Like they’ll do an arc or story originally done in the comics, but it feels dumbed down or somehow lacks the same punch or oomph. It’s obvious what story they were trying to tell in this ep, but it just doesn’t land. Anyone with any knowledge about the comic book stories knows how the story is going to end. But it’s just there; the story and characters aren’t somehow elevated. This is definitely not on the level of Batman: The Animated Series or Justice League.

    It does help that the little bastard can now be the cameo of the week. . . . And doesn’t force the writers to come up with a paper-thin excuse for other X-Men or mutants to show up in the story.
  21. Mog
    True, but they’re actually utilizing his copycat skills a lot more interestingly in the new series. Also, it seems like

    So, my initial impressions of this new X-Men series? It definitely feels like a continuation of the old cartoon, which is both a good and bad thing. I could do without the soap opera, character drama. I really don’t want these love triangle things to be stretched out. Same with the big dark secrets stuff. But some of the underlying messages in the stories are solid. And Morph has vastly improved. Both for being a walking cameo for all characters in the X-Men pantheon and for being a true bro’ to Wolvie.

    If they had more time to flesh out the world, I’d like to see them add in all the races and such (Gerudo, Rito, Goron, fish-folk 😅, etc.) But being a movie, I could see some form of Gannon getting the Triforce of Power, Zelda gets captured, Link goes to rescue her. Keep the story basic for a movie. Whether that means Link is a knight protecting Zelda or just some schlub that walks into a cave and is given a sword by some kooky old dude, I’ll leave up to the writers. But there’s enough tapestry to play with and add, if they use those general plot points above.

    I think ol' Junkyard would just turn around and bite the snot out of a 'Nok.
