    Did the term "fan fiction" exist back then?

    The concept art pieces so far have been the best things to come from Mado & Fett IMHO. Unfortunaltely, they may have lead to the idea that the shows write themselves if you basically stick these "wouldn't it be cool..." scenes together.

    How about a nice slap in the face?

    I was expecting more from Bandai after the merge, but it just didn't happen. The Koto kits are nice, but the prices are far out there.

    @derex3592 You'd probably be disappointed about the lack of black magic in the proceedings 😀 But for a short summary: Basic materials are Tamiya acrylics thinned 2:1 to 1:1 with Tamiya alcohol, good compressor (works 25 years now, so the money is well invested), affordable Badger 350 airbrush (also works for 25 years). I avoid primer unless I want bright, saturated final colors or work on strongly colored kit parts. While Airbrushing, work away from already coated surfaces and avoid multiple passes until the paint has dried. Trying to get a reflection of a window or light source while spraying will give you a good sense of the buildup of paint. Stay close to the surface so the paint doesn't dry mid-air. There's still that video from last year of me doing panel highlights:

    Btw the Radio Eva figures had a Shinji that I consider quite good: It is, of course, quite different from the series' Shinji. But that's one of the main appeals of the franchise IMO, how far you can take the source material.

    I happened to see Monsters: Dark Continent, and I was pleasantly surprised! It is difficult to categorize and surely will disappoint the standard SF crowd expecting a soldiers vs creatures bullet fest. As a war drama, it would possibly function entirely without the SF elements, which are sparse to begin with, but actually the Monsters do work in the concept by adding a metaphysical perspective on the absurdity of the human struggle (much like the wildlife shots in Thin Red Line). While the first Monsters was a small scale indie movie, this one has a budget for high level production values an VFX, and most of all, the people involved in the making were knowing what they were doing. You see the influences of Jarhead or Full Metal Jacket, but the movie manages to craft its own experience via the magnificent direction and cinematography. Rather than giving lengthy expositions and moving a plot forward, the sequence of visuals let’s you feel the transformation of the characters, and this is a good example of the power of film – and SF film in particular, which opens the door to another level of artistic freedom. The crux of these movies is that once they’re marketed as SF, the viewer expectations are narrowed down to the well worn genre conventions. The impressive „Encounters“, a family drama with killer performances by Riz Ahmed and the child actors, fell into the same trap recently.
