    I'd like to buy one, but I know that as soon as I do someone will announce a 1/3000 PT Toy

    Non-transforming Macross mecha seems to be KC's forte....hope to see more in 2025!

    Maybe all those old republic credits get laundered by the Sith (Remnant insiders/Palpatine's acolytes, etc) to fund the massive Final Order fleet seen in TROS....those ships were clearly not based on the Star Destroyer designs used by the First Order...they were more like the ones used by the Empire during the Rebellion era...it would be right up Disney Star Wars' alley to require an entire show to explain how that Final Order fleet got built and funded in secret....especially when it was implied that most in the First Order were not even aware of it....

    No one should have been shocked about this....this was called out before the first episode even streamed....even a filthy casual could have seen this one coming.... Once again, this show is essentially taking concepts from every Star Wars show out there...EU stuff too.... The writing process for this episode was just tossing out ideas of how to stretch out the episode so that "stuff happens" along the way to get the kiddos back to their ship....oh and toss in a new ship to $ell an extra toy or 3 to the adult collectors watching the show.....worked out for The Mandalorian! And bad guys with lightsabers are still one of the pillars of Star Wars so by completely ignoring the big lightsaber reveal from the previous episode the geniuses at D+'s Lucasfilm are obviously going for the hail mary for the last episode.....either way using the lightsaber reminds me of how it was used at the end of the Solo movie.....pretty sure Hasbro has a Pirate Lightsaber hilt coming out soon!

    Cospa Macross SDF-1 t-shirt... Oddly enough the tag implies the SDF-1 should be based off the film version....works for me though as I prefer all things Macross TV..... Probably my last Macross acquisition of 2024...looking forward to what 2025 brings in terms of Macross collecting...

    Wait.....that disturbing looking giant squid/cat or whatever....was sort of kraken-like.....any more pirate tropes they haven't shown?

    Already introduced in the Acolyte....and hopefully never again!

    Of everything coming out from Marvel....Fantastic 4 is what I'm least interested in....still, they need to get this one right...as it is, it sounds like the new Captain America may not continue the good vibes pumped back into the franchise from the last Deadpool movie...at least it's not the big mess that Star Wars has been under Disney....

    Another spot that OT and PT character, setting or word bingo episode!....Never realized that Greedos and Hammerheads were so ubiquitous across the galaxy!.... It's sad when it was other media that would copy Disney and Lucasfilm ideas...now the often imitated are devoid of fresh ideas themselves so they are plundering concepts from their own IPs.... Took then long enough to bring out the lightsabers.....and I guess they really don't have any safety built into them! Why blur out the pirate's face in the recording? It's even brought up by one of the kids.....has to mean something, right? They also haven't shown the "supervisor's" face.... There's no way this is all about Old Republic mints, c'mon!

    Nope....it's the official start of the DCU under Gunn's watch...and so far I doubt it is must-see for the Superman movie....at least so far

    Again....another nonsensical statement....my like or dislike of this or any show has no bearing on whether or not other people may actually like it....good for them if they do! Which is funny you even bring up "reviews and viewership data" as you were just hell-bent on your assertion that D+ is hemorrhaging subscribers....it's not...at worst it fluctuates based on the shows non-core subscribers.....which presently have apparently zero impact on Disney's willingness to create Star Wars content that will be guaranteed hits everytime... Anyways.....I have to call it a night...sweet dreams Mister Bassett....
  22. jvmacross
    Nope....but you are hitting the sauce hard tonight professor....I just said Star Wars is no longer just for kids as Lucas had originally purported it to be....you then went on a long manifesto that had nothing to do with that....
  23. jvmacross
    I don't think Disney is going to change their formula for Star Wars....it's just one IP in their huge portfolio....like having a stock portfolio....not all may do well at the same time....but hopefully you have enough winners to get a good return....the aggregate for their audience (subscribers) has been increasing....the competition is getting more crowded....so at some point the required amount of subscribers will be at a point that may trigger a change in how they need to approach specific IPs in their portfolio....however, Star Wars has a built-in audience of hard core fans that will always be subscribers....we just don't know if that amount is enough to keep having them produce content that does not necessarily need to be great all the time....
  24. jvmacross
    You'd think....but nope....D+ subscriptions have steadily increased over time...defying all logic....perhaps customers have a FOMO attitude towards D+....Disney must have some set ROI that has not been breached to call any series so far a complete financial disaster....their formula works and I think it's based on a large loyal subscriber base and a bunch of other subscribers that want to stay "relevant" on their streaming in general or have a FOMO situation for D+ specifically.... https://www.statista.com/statistics/1095372/disney-plus-number-of-subscribers-us/

    You were saying that Star Wars was for "kids"....I said not anymore....you then try to support your argument by stating that both Skellington Crew and Resistance have zero ties to any Lucas era show....again....so what? What does that have anything whatsoever with the fact that Star Wars is no longer being made primary for kids....actually, your statement is not only pointless...it's nonsensical to the argument....maybe you are hitting the bourbon a bit too liberally tonight? Required beverage these days for D+ Star Wars viewing!....
