    Sony still has the rights to all "Spider-Man" films. And Sony will be able to make more Spidey films and have majority control over those films (Kevin Feige will be listed as producer and Amy Pascal will retain the Sony side of things) But now, Marvel Studios/Disney can borrow the same Spidey for their films and Sony can do the same for MCU characters in Spidey films.

    Since Marvel is folding the Ultimate-verse into the normal Marvel universe... What they could do "kill" or retire Peter in Civil War by him revealing his identity. Then bring in Miles for the Marvel side of things and revive Peter for the Sony movies. 2 Spideys at the same time. Jesus, they have the whole Spider-verse story running right now, why not have it for the movies.

    Would it kill the author of that article to link to the petition and the blog post he mentions?

    Cameron Monaghan did a great job with the insanity. I just wished they gave him a more demented scenario.

    I've actually found the Mobile Suit Master Archives a better "read" at mechs of a franchise than the VF Master Files. Mostly due to the fact that there's more published data on MSs than VFs. One little thing I do love about the MS Master Archives is how they've incorporated the various Gunpla versions into the writings as "early" or "late" dated revisions and they didn't have to invent a new variant for the publication like the VF Master Files did. For examples, the Ver.Ka RX-78-2 became a later revision/repair to the original RX-78-2. We know the RX-78-2 was upgraded on the field using data from the RX-78-3 so why shouldn't it look like the Ver.Ka RX-78-2 Gunpla (It probably helps that the RX-78-3 was designed by Katoki). Or take the various Gunpla of Zeta Gundam. The MS Master Archive incorporates those as repairs and field upgrades that Zeta received during the Gryps Conflict. Which actually works. In anime, we won't see those minor repairs but we can see them in the Gunpla and the MS Master Archives do take advantage of it. If Macross had that, it would make the VF Master Files much more interesting. But not to knock on the VF Master Files, I found the VFMF's diagrams to be a great way to explain how things work like how EX-Gear as a cockpit seat works as at higher Gs, or how the pilot is oriented in a VF-25 in battroid mode or how the cockpit is arranged in a VF-0 and its variants.

    That's up to you. OCR'ing is only as good as the program being used. And it has to be able to recognize different font families. Just looking at the diagrams vs text, the text uses a different font family than the text for the diagrams. As Monmar mentioned, it's hit or miss if the OCR program is able to recognize the characters properly.

    As Tochiro mentioned, Japanese is written with 3 different alphabets or I would say, character sets. There is the basic one, Hiragana, one for foreign/borrowed words, Katakana, and Chinese script, Kanji. All 3 are mixed into the writings. And as Tochiro mentioned, there's a lot of technical jargon in the writings, including fictional words. And that's just the words. Just wait till we get the grammar, context, etc. It's not impossible, but for most normal speakers and translators, it's probably something that would require lots of time and brain-power to do. The guys (sketchley, Gubaba, Tochiro, just to name a few names) here have only covered a small portion of the available texts being published. Even I've tried reviewing the legal documents of the Macross-franchise and deciphering the words, the legal terminology, etc., is not easy. And those documents are not works of fiction, but real legal documents (Having spent a few years working with lawyers teaches you a few things). So you are welcomed to try but don't be surprised if the translator come back and say no thanks.

    http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=37892&p=1179914 We don't know if Spidey will join this movie or an Avengers flick. Money is betting on this flick as Spidey is a key figure in Civil War.

    The Live-Action rights will expire in 3 years. That gives them just enough time to make some crap and hold the rights. In fact, they're at the 5-year-renewal mark. I was wondering when WB would drag this back out.

    That "new car"-smell is gone. We know where our protagonists are heading. S1 was good because it was new. This time around, we know the "rules of the game" and we know where we're heading. So yeah, some of the thrill is gone, but it's still a fun ride.

    Let me clear this up. Windows 10 IS NOT a "service". With Windows 10, Microsoft is trying to do several things. First, they are allowing users of Windows 7 and 8/8.1 to upgrade for free, during the 1st year of Windows 10's release. My argument with this is, it is hard to get people to upgrade Windows, especially in the business world. Microsoft is currently adopting this stance of rapid-releasing of the OS. Windows 8 to 8.1 carried noticeable changes. What happens if Windows 10.1 does the same and carry substantial changes? At the same time, with a rapid release, is Windows 11 coming sooner than expected? What happens after that 1st year when upgrades are no longer free? What about people like system builders? Do they get free upgrades? Keep in mind they are using the word "upgrade". So you would have to have a license for Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 and then upgrade to 10. Microsoft didn't mention pricing during their event. If we want these upgrades for free, we have to upgrade year after year or we end up paying? So it's like a service. Upgrade or pay. But seeing how slow adoption of Windows 7 was and how much of a blunder Windows 8 was, do they expect people to jump onto this bandwagon? They want people to adopt Windows and to do that, they are simplifying things for developers to create universal apps. So 1 app for desktops, Xbox, tablets, and phones. In theory, this is great. In practice, not so much. There are certain things that work well on 1 platform but do not work as well on others.
