  1. It will get right back on track when more news come out on the new series.
  2. That depends on how the contracts are written. If there are written to continue when rights are sold then Universal will keep the rights for now, if they are written to expire when the main rights are sold then it is up in the air. I doubt Universal would have gone with the second option - they put too much money into it to have the rights disappear if the owner changed. Finally even if they do have "permanent" rights Disney and they may decide to change the agreement later. (feel free to give whatever motivation behind any changes you wish but I'm guessing royalty payments are a possible point of contention at some time in the future)
  3. Do we have a thread for Episode IX? No matter this is partly episode VIII related. Carrie Fischer will be in Episode 9 by using footage from episode 8. Billy Dee Williams is also on board as well as Mark Hamill (though that last one should not be a surprise)
  4. > Macross in general isn't exactly aimed at the 30- and 40-somethings out there... it's targeted to the secondary school students (and maybe college students). So was Frontier, if the next series is more like Frontier then I'm all for it.
  5. It was a distillation of the music and idol parts of Macross, which is what I am least interested in. The love triangle in 7, while taking up a lot of screen time, was a mess where the main character is totally clueless and disinterested in personnel relationships of any kind. If it weren't for Max and Millia it would be a complete disaster on that front. Space Battle scene wise it was totally worthless, partly due to plot and a lot of it due to boring battle scenes - it is hard to make a battle interesting when the enemy just sucks your mind out...
  6. The only real problem with Into Darkness was the villain was a waste. The actor did a fine job with what he had to work with but the characterization was off. The main cast character moments in that film were spot on however.
  7. More Macross Plus is what I want. More Macross 7 I have no interest in. No need to mash in other unrelated items like CGI animation. Plus is a more gritty story that I like, 7 was lunacy in my opinion and I feel bad having watched all of it.
  8. Not really, in that case I would not be reading it at all and thus would not have to worry about what I can't see.
  9. In Universe the Enterprise is a prize as well, Everyone and their uncle wants to be the Captain of a Constitution class. It is considered a prestige posting.
  10. The visuals are great (as to be expected). I'll keep up with Gubaba's synopsis as they come out and hope that in a few years a translated version is released in the West. Of course it first has to be completed this time and that is no guarantee either.
  11. Ever since the MST3K riffing on Gamera I have been a fan. Even of the non-riffed version. I loved the Mothra and Rodan movies as a kid though, so hard to choose...
  12. I was toying with watching Discovery till I saw that trailer. The little "joke" at the end and "The power of math" bits are infantile
  13. Star Trek's timeline and our real timeline diverged in the late sixties - it is much cleaner to think of it that way.
  14. I tried Google's phone app and it came up with some interesting, and obviously entirely wrong, translations - even though it highlighted the Kanji characters correctly before trying to translate. Looks like this is still some ways off from being workable.
  15. Just to be clear, I don't want the text to be put into a text bubble and reprinted or anything, just checking to see if there was any tool out there that found and translated text in an image. I'll have to give the phone app a try with the web page.
  16. Does anyone know if there is a site that does scanlation translations of pictures on other web sites? I know that Japanese to English translations are often rough at best but some indication of what is going on would be helpful. I have an image translation tool on my phone that works but the small screen size would be a nightmare for a web comic image.
  17. I'll add a little to Tking22's answer. They are back because of this fan at least. Although on Disney's streaming service it may be a while before I see it.
  18. A new trailer, I think, for the series. Not really a lot to go on. Certainly better than the teaser trailer I saw a couple days ago where the doctor seemed to have the power to make food reappear.
  19. Excellent, that last "season" of CW was, well, excellent. I'm wondering how many episodes this is planned to be? A single season perhaps? I'm certain they are also going to use it to tie together CW, Rebels, and the new show as well.
  20. Should have gotten him for the entire comic.
  21. Is that really the cover? When did Claudia get her original hairstyle back? And Lisa looks like Lisa too.
  22. There was something bothering me, just a little, about that trailer and now I figured it out. For the first time Stranger Things started to slightly Parody the eighties rather than try to faithfully recreate it. I'm guessing it was just for the cheesy commercial and will not be part of the next season - parody would kill the mood of the show.
