    For the record Looney Tunes wasn't a children's cartoon back when they first came out. They were very much the South Park of their day.

    They look nice, but Japan has priced me out of the toy collecting game. I just can't justify paying $100+ before shipping on something slightly taller than a GI Joe with similar points of articulation no matter how nice the paint app is.

    Yeah you guys have hit the nail on the head. With Anakin/Vader there always was the compelling question of what made the good man that Obi Wan talked about fall? How did he become twisted and evil, more machine now than man? It's a shame Lucas botched it with ham fisted storytelling, ugly dialogue, and poor directing. With Cassian what is there to tell? He lived as a cynical rebel operative, and died as a slightly less cynical one. I'm guessing his background involves something cliche like the empire killed his family, or he witnessed/took part in Imperial atrocities so he joined the rebels? The only thing to really look forward to is seeing K-2S0 again.

    Yup! Youtube and google algorithms. Kind of creepy, but it kind of makes sense. We likely share similar tastes being on this forum and all in addition to watching similar youtube channels so it's no surprise that recommendation would trigger.

    Considering the anniversary of the Doolittle raid was a few days ago, I think I'll be building this kit from Cobi Bricks over the weekend.

    Out of curiosity you didn't watch Dragon's Heaven because a random recommendation popped up on your youtube feed with a guy reviewing it and comparing it to scifi artist Mobius' work did you?

    I have to ask this, because I'm sure a lot of other people are thinking it, but what's the point of a Cassian Andor prequel to Rogue One? Why should I care or get emotionally involved in a character that we know is going to end up dead on a beach? You could just as easily go the Mandalorian and hand us a bunch of new characters that are rebel operatives/commandos we can get invested in. There's plenty of more interesting tales you could tell post ANH too. Things like the scramble to evacuate Yavin IV, the search for a new base, establishing Echo Base on Hoth, missions to acquire weapons for the rebellion, or even seeing how the "many bothans died" in order to acquire the second death star's plans. Imagine a commando series that ends with Han Solo picking them for the raid on the Endor shield generator, or even recreating the battle from their point of view! EDIT: The only way I think they could hook an audience for this show is if the opening moments are of him surviving Rogue One and being interrogated by Imperials, and the pre Rogue One material is him giving up information. The audience would then be hooked by wondering how did he survive, did Jyn Erso survive, and can he be rescued from imperial hands?

    Not exactly Gundam plamo here, but DD Puppeteer does a lot of model kit reviews of mostly frame arms girls/kotobukiya kits with humorous elaborate stop motion intros. I posted his awesome review of GaoGaiGirl in another thread, but this time he takes on Zelfikar with an elaborate tribute to Norris Packard's last stand from 08th MS Team. Even if you have zero interest in the kits he reviews, they are worth watching for sheer entertainment value.

    Indeed. Indeed. Unfortunately Klan Klan has nothing on the pinacle of mecha girl model kit boooty that is Megami Device Jeanne from Phantasy Star Online 2.

    One of the things that came to mind when this board starting discussing this incident was what the process is for reloading an ejector seat . Now I'm not sure there is one?

    I wish people/friends/coworkers would organize a flight for me in a fighter jet. The closest I was going to get was riding in a Chaffee tank at my local museum, but the corona f***ed that for me.

    It SHOULD be different from Kenneth McMillian's interpretation. Nothing from Lynch's film is anywhere near accurate to how the Baron is portrayed in the novel. The man was a charismatic master manipulator, not a raving lunatic with puss filled sores. The problem is Villeneuve is referring to the novel version when he calls the Baron a caricature as he feels the Baron is too schemey, and it sounds like he just wants to turn him into Raban by referring to him as a rhino, a menacing beast of a man prone to violence.

    I binged watched the Epix channel's War Of The Worlds tv series over the weekend. You ever watch a show that you want to like, but in the end it leaves you disappointed? That's kind of how I feel about this show. The acting and directing are good. The sound design really stands out both in ramping up the eeriness and tension, but the writing just isn't there. This show was at it's best when it was copying Walking Dead's formula of following survivors of the attack trying to reunite and just survive. By episode six(of eight total) the wheels kind of fall off as the writers try to ramp up the tension artificially by having characters enter into conflicts with each other that could have been avoided if you know, just explained things to each other. This episode also has one of the most out of touch self indulgent lines I have ever seen in a show like this. Mild spoilers below...

    See cobra liquidator.

    Why is the Red Skull cosplaying as Raul Julia from the Street Fighter movie?
  16. renegadeleader1
    To be fair this movie is a reboot of two live action tokusatsu shows from the 60-70s that were aimed at kids, Silver Mask and Mach Robot Red Baron. I've never seen Silver Mask, but I've seen quite a bit of the original Red Baron and it's own anime remake from the 90s. Neither really took themselves too seriously.

    BARON ROJO!
  18. renegadeleader1
    Yeah. If the original were making this new Animaniacs today they would spend nearly an entire episode subtly mocking CalArts.

    So when I clicked on this thread and started to scroll through the pictures of the Minerva and other model kits I thought to myself "It would be nice to see them release a modern Cordoba kit." Then I reached the bottom of the thread and.... OMG! OMG! OMG! YES! YES! YES! MOTHER OF GOD YES!

    Girls Frontline Lee Enfield... Due out around my birthday in October(If I survive that long given my "essential" job occupation putting me at high risk). I think I'll get this one.

    Since this thread got resurrected I think now would be a good time to share this hilarious review video from stop motion artist DD Puppeteer of the CrossFrame GaoGaiGirl from Kotobukiya.
  22. renegadeleader1
    After seeing episode 9? I would say yes.

    The plot of the first Mass Effect game involved interacting with things called Prothean beacons, ancient relics from a long extinct species that gave flashes of an impending doom from outside the galaxy should civilisations become too advanced. The main bad guy is special forces intelligence operative corrupted by these visions and brainwashed by coming in contact with a ship left behind by the impending doom into doing their bidding instead of preventing it. You initially try to stop him, but no one in the high council believes you at first until you rescue a mysterious girl and end up with a small ragtag crew on a tiny ship to stop him. There's also a race of people called the Quarian who have lost their homeworld and are bitter no one is helping them with a mysterious connected past to a race called the Geth a synthetic hivemind lifeform who assimilate their enemies, but end up not being so bad in the end. Did I mention yet that true A.I. is banned and punishable by death?

    I can't help but wonder if this was hinted at in King of the Monsters. The main bad guy, the Jonah character seemed to have an overly irrational hatred of humanity that goes beyond just his experiences as a mercenary and his obsession with Ghidorah through the film always struck me as odd. The thing that really stands out for me though is the scene in the elevator where he's rubbing his eye as the girl watches him. It seems off to me. Like he does it for a little too long like his skin isn't fitting right. The reaction when he realizes she's staring at him is odd too. He pauses, his expression goes blank, and then after another pause he smiles and makes a face at her. Maybe it's me reading too much into it, but who knows? :P
