Man of Steel - Superman movie has a director
azrael replied to Mr March's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
My comments: #4: Did article author ever read John Bryne's Man of Steel? Jor-El knew where he was sending his child to and knew his son would have special gifts under the yellow sun there. And that was back in 1986. #3: This is very clearly spelled out in the movie. It's the moral issue vs. the fear of society rejection. If your child had gifts beyond belief, you think you would want the media and governments hounding your family for the rest of your lives? Did the author watch Smallville during those 10 years it was on? That was one of the running themes of the show. #2: Relates to #3. If you heard of a kid that could lift an entire bus filled with people out of the water, you would expect some fear with that "Thanks". Again, society fears what it doesn't understand. Again, also look at Bryne's Man of Steel or Morrison's All-Star Superman, or the very quote from Jor-El in this very movie. Superman gives them something to look up to. Something that inspires others. Jor-El knew humans have potential, but they needed a kick. #1: From the looks of it, and as was done before, Jor-El is responsible for Zod's downfall. Zod has a bone to pick with the House of El. A very sharp and pointy bone. And Supes stays because this is the only world he's known. He never knew about Krypton. Earth is home to him. And if he can do something about it, why not stay and fight for your home?- 442 replies

Well, they were in post-production by the time the announcement of Abrams' Star Wars-attachment came about so they already had it all on film so you can't blame Star Wars for this.- 1020 replies

We'll find out if they're true when it premieres in the UK next week. Oh and spoiler tags please until after the May 17th weekend (after it opens for most of Europe, Asia, Australia, and USA). Commentary about the sad state of Hollywood is fine, but the rest needs spoiler tags.- 1020 replies

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - Coming May 2, 2014
azrael replied to areaseven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Ummmm, maybe it's because I'm use to the feel of the textured-look to the suits used in the previous movies, but this looks a bit too much like the shiny spandex from Sentai shows. Spidey Returns To THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Set Gorgeous Pics Of Spidey's New Costume On THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Set EDIT: New set pics. Now I see what's weird. The suit looks a little loose/too big for the suit actor. It also looks like the suit actor gained some weight...- 153 replies

Roy Fokker? We have nobody in the database going by the name of "Roy Fokker". Roy Focker? Dunno. Probably sometime around 2002 or around the start of the war.

How about we just leave it at "Not everyone likes or hates the same Gundam show" and leave it at that. And we're all insane if we're arguing about which is a better 25-minute toy commercial disguised as a children's show.- 4001 replies

Going back to the 1st print of the Chronicle, the article on the YF-24 may shed light on why it became costly (they may reprint this section later). The VF-19/VF-22 would occasionally operate in high-G instances. Very few pilots would be able to attempt those cases so they had to work on a solution to "dumb it down" for every pilot. They couldn't find a solution to fit these 2 fighters and they probably ended up spending a lot more money to "fix" a brand new toy after they just got it. Because money was an issue, they cut back deployment. The article did mention that the UN heads were also not very happy that the YF-19 broke through Earth's defenses during the "Sharon Apple Incident". So that was a reason. The article also mentioned that UAVs also out-performed manned-aircraft by a landslide but that the heads didn't really like the idea of an AI like Sharon running around, unleashed. And we all know how much cheaper it was to roll out UAVs.

Toys and models (and merchandise in general) have other factors riding on them. Did people buy the products or services? Does a company make a profit on their products (Bandai, Yamato, etc.)? Did a company allow itself to be bought out, i.e. was the sale willingly done and not mitigated by other factors? Especially with business, we don't get a clear picture because private companies are in no position to tell the public any concrete information.
