    Honestly, without knowing what accessories come with the kitties, I’d still rather see Bandai make some pipe dreams like the Fleet of Doom combiner or the Sincline combiner from LD.

    That big empty space. It’s like there’s a ghost in there! 👻

    Waiting for Bandai SOC version. 😉

    It’s been exactly two years since my dad passed. And during those low moments, this song still hits the feels. . . Probably the best live version of the song, with Bono’s voice mostly on point:

    Such a smooth, damn good song:

    Dumb pet theory: But I’m guessing they have good FILM writers but not good television/long-series writers. Why they haven’t bothered to tap Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen to write any of these series is beyond me (other than some dumb lingering MCU-Marvel Television snobbery).

    It makes me nervous when they nerfed Fisk in Hawkeye, use quick cuts for DD’s fight scenes in She-Hulk. And no word of Foggy Nelson or Karen Page’s actors joining the cast (even though the new show has something like 20 eps.) fills me with apprehension. If Disney was smart, they would just continue the story they laid out in the Netflix show. Seriously, an upgraded Bullseye could make for a good starting point.

    I’m curious how everyone’s opinions/rankings would change if we put the Netflix Marvel shows and the ABC Marvel ones into the mix. Because I would instantly put Daredevil, Agents of SHIELD, and Punisher Season 1 far above the other Disney Marvel shows. For me, Jessica Jones Season 1, Luke Cage Season 2, and Iron Fist Season 2 would probably rank equal to the best that Disney Marvel has churned out. The Disney shows have some interesting and/or fun bits, but many of the series have left me disappointed or were just okay.

    And therein lies the problem: the sequel trilogy wasn’t really mapped out. With Ahsoka, the roadmap is kinda sorta there. Rebel’s finale and last episodes showed where the story can go. Thrawn is coming back after being “forced” (heh) into exile. Hera’s been with the Rebellion almost since the beginning, and she’s probably gained a streak a independence after everything that went down in Rebels. Sabine feels obligated to find Ezra. The beats are there for them to develop and follow through on.

    Welp, they opened up the Pandora’s box with streaming. Yes, the pandemic forced them to utilizing their streaming platforms to release their films. So now, it’s hard for them to try to change folks behaviors and essentially tell them, “Hey! Come out to theaters to watch this!” For my family of five, that ain’t a cheap proposition anymore. For most films, I’d rather wait it out and watch from the comfort of home. But again, quality has always been the big issue. For Marvel, the other big factor is burnout and fatigue.

    As long as Ahsoka is true to the characters and shows growth from who they were previously, I’m good. It’s Filoni’s pet cat characters, so his track record has shown more good than dog-crap.

    What Disney found out is that writers and actors want a piece of the streaming pie, but the studios want to keep the old, outdated model in place and hide their numbers. Or just call it by its real name: greed.

    Three honking engines and a massive payload to blast you to the Stone Age. The Tread IS the Legioss’ armor and weapons upgrade.

    The reason they’re struggling is because the stories they’re showing on film or on the streaming are half-baked. There are some good ideas buried in there somewhere, but they get mired in dumb and/or repetitive plot contrivances. Case in point, Secret Invasion needs to stop spamming the “Who did they kill to end the ep on a cliffhanger?” trope. GOTG3 did well, because it didn’t go with the expected cliches, knows who their characters are at this point, and knows when to be silly and when to hit you with the emotional wallop.

    In fairness, I could have swore this was for that “High Republic” book series, and NOT for the whole TV/film franchise.

    So, got this from the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum: Think this will be my first . . . and probably last of these folding metal models. Was kind of a challenge to make, especially without small enough wire cutters and tweezers. Wound up making a mess of things trying to get that perfect arch or separating parts from the sprue. And used globs of superglue to hold things together, when too many folds caused parts to break/sheer off.
  17. Mog
    Don’t sully the name of the Tread. Those three massive, honking engine boosters overcome any aerodynamic issues! 😉

    I don’t mind the idea of Boba wanting to better the lives of fellow bounty hunters and the lives of his underlings. BUT there’s a way to do it without looking weak. Shoot a kneecap of the mayor’s admin. guy, as a “warning” for all the obvious disrespect. When he hires those Vespa kids, make it that he’s paying off their debt and that they now owe him and have to work for him. Or else.

    The biggest problem with BOBF was they nerfed the character. Even when compared to the Boba that showed up in Mandalorian, Boba in his own series was just too soft. They never should have went with the kinder, gentler daimyo idea. Have him want to change things and do things a little different. But make him a dude you think twice about crossing. It’s why I’m nervous about Disney taking Marvel’s Daredevil and Kingpin and softening them up compared to their portrayals in the Netflix series. Back to Andor though, Luthen’s been a breath of fresh air for Star Wars. Here’s a guy who does very questionable things, knows he’s doing questionable/immoral things, but convinces himself he’s doing it all for “the cause.”
  20. Mog
    Little annoyed that Stellan Skarsgård didn’t get a nom for his portrayal of Luthen.

    I kinda get using the Volume for certain scenes. Kind of a pain to wait for the perfect lighting to film a scene and to be at the mercy of outside weather. I’d rather they use the Volume than rely on the old green-screens, especially if the Volume helps the actors get more into their characters and the scene. But again, it’s just one tool in the whole kit. Can’t spam it for everything, and they need to know when to use and when NOT to use it.

    So basically, a Voltron of guns? 🤨😜
  23. Mog
    C’mon, don’t let a little thing like aerodynamics get in the way of moar guns!!!111!1!1!!! 😉

    Some rando observations: * I guess Sabine’s not rocking the Wren’s/bird’s eyes on her helmet anymore? Wonder why creative made that choice. * Trailer is still not showing the Ghost * Or Spectre 7 for that matter. EDIT: Nevermind, they just move the eyes more to the side of the helmet, and you can’t really see them in the trailer. Helmet pic reference:

    Back on topic, how annoying would it be if Airborne isn’t the final unlock for the Dragonfly?
