Of course the comics do a better job. There's more room, per se to expand on storylines, characters, etc. Movies don't have that room. When the movies do it, they've got to do in a truncated form. Books (novels, comics, etc.) in general, will always seem better in that respect. But that is because it is allowed.

I don't see how your hatred or love of M7 works with this thread (Save it for a M7 opinion thread). As far as I am aware, the topic of this thread is about the missing animated gaps in the Macross timeline and why we don't see many new Macross series, not why M7 sucks. If anybody continues, I will see it as derailment and lock this thread. Now... Depends. As Creator, Supervisor/Story Concept, Mecha Design, Mechanical Specifications, Storyboard (episode 27), that is quite an involvement. Not to mention later involvement with M7 as Script writer(M7 movie), Series Script Supervisor, Ending Photography (MD7). Considering he was directing M+ (OAV and movie) at the time, this is not surprising that he handed day-to-day direction to Tetsuro Amino and Masami Shimoda. He definitely had a direct influence, but how far down the chain do we want to look? Email Egan Loo: eganloo@anime.net

That just says what we've already come to (and that article is back from 1/26/2006). X4 is going to be the Wolverine spinoff....

His helmet is suppose to be made of the same materials as Cerebro and from that, keeps him safe from Xaiver.

It's more likely the color dye they used when they mixed the mold. Yes, it is grey. I've seen this among the Seed line of models and a few MGs. There's a blue tint to the grey that they use. I've had to correct it a few times to a proper grey. It really isn't the lighting but the dye they use. The dye is probably close to the lineart, but once they mix it in to the plastic, the color is diluted throughout the mold and ends up close but not correct. Many of the MG weapons have a blue or dark grey tint to the black parts, which I often correct to a true black color.

Macross II never made it to TV. It was an OAV from the start...It came during a time when lots of shows were done as OAVs.

One thing Kawamori likes is there are always different sides to a story and there are more stories to tell. Macross isn't Gundam. We don't get rehashes of stories or marketing like you won't believe. Macross is much smaller and fits into a genre which hasn't flourished as much as it use to. Story-wise, not all of Kawamori's ideas fit into Macross. And so this leads to other projects and some time away from Macross. The best idea of that was Knights in the Sky. This idea had transforming fighters but in the end, the concept didn't fit the story. And so this story became Escaflowne. Kawamori has shown us that he likes to come back to Macross but there are other things he wants to do before it's too late.

One of the more greater problems is that there are many internal applications that run only on IE. This is part of the reason why we can't just get rid of IE. Many companies have produced internal web applications that use IE over any other browser. And they've used them for several years already. Just try and get those companies to get rid of IE-only applications. This is of of many major causes for why Mozilla has yet to really penetrated the corporate world. Even if they allow a Mozilla product, there are chances that there is still some internal web application that can only function on IE. Anyways... Work: WinXP/Firefox or Opera, Mac OS X/Safari or Firefox home: WinXP/Firefox or Opera As soon as Apple drops in the Merom-core in their laptop selection, I'll have Safari/Firefox/Opera.

For Spiderman 3, (if you've read the Spiderman 3 thread), the chances that we will see all 4 villians equally is in debate. We are more likely to see 2 villians more than the others. Which 2, remains to be seen. For X-men, having lots of villians, does work in a sense. Because you have a good-guy team, you need to counter them with a group of villians. The reason behind X3's cramming is because this is the last movie that these particular actors are signed up for. After X3, all contracts with all actors have to be renegotiated. So they could not use this group anymore so why not go out with a bang. Unfortunately, they threw out a little too much bang in this movie...

Breetai's would win only due to sheer volume. 4 km of ship to go through would take a while. Unless Macross makes some good hits to disable something of that size.

DVD prices tend to be much higher in Japan than in the US.

Because that's what Macross came with. IIRC, PPBs block missiles as well. Missiles are projectiles. So an ODB, being a full-scale PPB, would block those as well. Basara has proven that wrong when he was hit by a swarm of missiles. His VF-19 was covered with PPBs. The generators are located on the arms but their ability at covering a fighter appears to be much greater than just the arm shields. The only Protodevlins who has show the capability to fold objects other than itself is Gepernich, Goram and Zomd. Goram and Zomd work in tandem so we do not have a clear picture of them working individually. Sivil and Gavil do not appear to be able to fold on their own so it appears to be a limitation to all of this.

YEY!!! I can say crap again.

Flashback 2012 is avaliable via HK DVD. However, it may be a hard find these days.

Yeh, Pyro's lighter is tucked underneath his sleeve on his glove. It's hard to see, but it's there.

I'm still waiting for them to post a DVD release date....

The problem with writting a series of movies is you have to hope that the 1st 2 have to do good in order for the 3rd to happen. And for the 2nd movie to happen, you have to hope the 1st movie does good enough. X-men was a gamble. And it looks like it paid off. But what if it didn't?

(Spoilers, Highlight to read) Arad also mentions that the big white spider logo has been reserved for something else. So there is still a chance that we may see still see the proper black suit. I have a feeling that the symbiote is just latched onto the old Spidey suit. When it seperates, we may see the black suit when it attaches itself to that certain individual.

Well that's a comforting thought Graham... The book is looking more tempting right now...

I'll wait a bit before I grab it from Steam. I haven't touched Steam in almost a year. I'm quite behind on my patches at the moment.

1) Off topic. 2) Nothing to do with Macross.

How about some non-glamour shots?

Because Q is dead (God rest his soul, for 007 just wasn't 007 without him). 404418[/snapback] Besides the car...I don't see any need for the gadgets this time around.

Took a while for a better quality version to show up: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/supermanreturnsqt.html This was the trailer attached to some X3 screenings.

I like the mold for the beam shield. The look of the mold for F91 looks okay...but I'm more interested in this polycap-less construction.
