  1. For those who saw the last X-Men: Apocalypse trailer.
  2. Just finished my third and final HG Mechanics kit: the RX-78GP03 Dendrobium. One of these days, I'll pick up the HGUC version.
  3. Yeah, the animation quality is probably the worst among all animated Batman releases over the past two decades. Let's just hope the rest of the film is better. As for other animated Batman stories, I still have a soft spot for Mask of the Phantasm, especially since I saw it in theaters. Under the Red Hood is also very good, except for one flaw: it doesn't have Kevin Conroy.
  4. Coming to theaters on June 3 is Approaching the Unknown, directed by Mark Elijah Rosenberg and starring Mark Strong (Merlin in Kingsman: The Secret Service, Sinestro in Green Lantern) as an astronaut on a lone mission to Mars that goes wrong halfway, pushing his mission and sanity on the edge.
  5. This is the Avengers sequel we should've gotten instead of Age of Ultron. Captain America: Civil War is yet another example by the Russo Brothers on how to properly do a superhero film. The storyline is completely engaging from beginning to end. Everyone from both sides of the Avengers plays a vital role and not just Cap and Iron Man. Perhaps the one that really stands out is Black Panther. Now we all know how badass Wakandan Arts can get. As for Spider-Man, this is, without a doubt, the best live-action incarnation ever. And for once, he has a New York accent - don't know if it's supposed to be a Queens accent, but we can now truly identify him as a New Yorker. Captain America: "You've got heart, kid. Where are you from?" Spider-Man: "Queens." Captain America: "Brooklyn." As with every other Marvel film, the film's weakness is the villain; this time, he's almost non-existent. There is so much focused on the conflict between Cap and Iron Man's factions that the "villain" is almost unnecessary in the storyline. In short, Captain America: Civil War is the new benchmark for superhero films this year. Will X-Men: Apocalypse or Doctor Strange be as good? And will DC rebound from their losses from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice with Suicide Squad? Only time will tell. In the meantime, here's how I rank this film: Marvel Cinematic Universe 1.

  6. Vibranium obviously doesn't exist in the real world, but titanium does its job in blocking gunshots. It's just a question of how much this shield costs. For comparison, here's a DIY version you can do at home. Also, this... EDIT: The Man at Arms version is a POS.
  7. Here's a line Bandai should have continued. HG Mechanics focuses on 1/550 scale mobile armor kits. Sadly, they stopped on the three MA featured in Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. Had the line gone further, we would've had a Shamblo or an updated Big Zam. In the meantime, here are two kits I recently completed: the MA-06 Val-Walo and the AMX-002 Neue Ziel.
  8. Definitely not money, as Lionsgate and Saban are notorious for being cheap-asses when it comes to hiring actors. The only viable theory is that she's a fan of MMPR.
  9. These need a live-action reboot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHifNJnYun0
