Solo: A Star Wars Story, in theaters May 25, 2018
Roy Focker replied to Dobber's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
You know I wonder if this SJW talk borders on Political debates. I'm sick of term SJW. I'm sick of watching some YouTube opinion piece where I'm in agreement with some critic's on view pop culture until they start talking about how it's the fault of the SJW. If you spend 20 minutes viewing online fandom you'll believe everyone is either a SJW or Misogynist. I like to believe those people only represent 10% of fandom. They just have the loudest voices. Majority of us don't have the time to make videos, podcasts and engage in every discussion. Sometimes these extremist of both sides have valid points. It is easy to feel pulled towards one team when the other team accuses you of being an SJW or Misogynist just because you agree with them on a couple of things. You'll start thinking they were right those people are impossible to deal with and your journey to fandom extremism begins. Yes I think they over do it with the diversity. There are already minority characters out there who they could easily expand on without having to change a 50 year old iconic character. Yes I thought that movie sucked. It wasn't because of the changes for diversity. However, team Misogyny was bitching about it for months before the movie was finished and now team SJW will accuse anyone of being homophobic, racist and sexist for not liking it. These politics of fandom serves the media industry. Fandom outrage is marketing tool. Teams Misogyny and SJW reach goes beyond just fandom. You can't read the comments section anywhere online without seeing it. Fandom is really taking the joy out of enjoying things. -
Avengers: Infinity War - in theaters April 27, 2018

Haven't seen it but I agree with this statement. I enjoy movies set in the real world. I'm willingly to accept that science can create super humans for movies. Space aliens, Gods and Magic is just a step too far. -
I too signed up for the free trial to watch it and then cancelled the trial. Nothing else about the service seem worth it. I can't justify paying money to watch Youtubers. Warning though once you cancel it you can't remove your credit card information until the entire month goes by.

I can see wanting to continue with the Rock. He's a movie star who will help fill seats.

Good night.

Finally 1 from Ami Ami. Takes so long for the ordering page to load.

Okay where are they?

That death was so stupid and pointless. I get they wanted to show Luke's mastery of the force. By showing that he can display such power from so far away. Kylo wanted him dead. They could have easily had Luke appear for real, perform some miracle and then die. That would have made sense. Instead they wanted do one more surprise on the audience by showing that he wasn't really there. But then he dies anyways. What's the point of keeping him thousands of light years away in safe place if he still dies? Imagine watching Indiana Jones and Last Crusade. It's the scene where Indy friends think he went over the cliff inside that German tank. Instead of finding out he jumped out at the last minute we discover that after he jumped out of the tank he stepped on a venomous snake and still dies. If a character is suppose to die. Fine kill them off but don't use their death for a pointless twist. Audience: "Did Kylo just kill Luke!?!" Disney : "Surprise Luke is still alive because he wasn't really there!" Audience: "Wow! You got me there!" Disney: "Surprise Luke dies anyways of a force heart attack!"

Robotech and REMIX by Titan Comics
Roy Focker replied to Old_Nash's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Looks like the VF-1S on the cover is jealous of that kiss! -
Yes! Now just give me the last 2 Destroids for 2018 and I'll consider this a great year to have been alive.
-
Pretty sure this was inspired by that "Sweep the leg" music video from years back that featured a Johnny who fell on hard times.

Robotech and REMIX by Titan Comics
Roy Focker replied to Old_Nash's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Cool you've found out the truth that Roy....er....I was the one who killed him. At least I think that's me. Not the best drawing going on here. Of course you're all going to find out that Edwards used CGI to frame me for a crime he committed. -
Visited my local store. It wasn't on the list of stores to close first. More people visiting than normal. Nothing on sale. Just the same sad store with pegs only half full of unsold product that came out over a year ago. Same old same old. They've been on the decline for well over a decade.

Thor: Ragnarok, in theaters Nov. 3, 2017
Roy Focker replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Finally saw it a couple days ago. It was a fun movie but nothing in tone like that early trailer. -
It is strange seeing actual teenagers playing teenagers. I was expecting them to be played by 20 to 30 year old adults again.

Good ending for a cartoon but doesn't make sense if it is part of Star Wars as a whole. 1. Was nice to team them up with all their allies from the past. I too think more character's should die as the first step of Ezra plan was risky one that could easily lead to some rebels getting killed. 2. So our heroes committed mass murder? Blowing up fully crewed Death Stars is one thing. Those are weapons of mass destruction. If Luke had to fire or Yavin would be destroyed. In this cartoon the heroes trapped all the Imperials in one place and then blew them up? It looked they were capable of kicking them off the planet. 3. Why is the Emperor still so confident in his dealing with Luke Skywalker when he failed to best Ezra? You'd think he remember that time one a couple years ago when he was bested by that other teenager. 4. Why do they need "hope" and the think of the Jedi like a myth in Rogue One and Episode IV? Don't they remember that time last year when Rebels on liberated their planet against incredible odds and had all those adventures with light saber carrying force users? Did Ezra's gang heroics fail to inspire anyone outside of that one planet?

They took away the arm articulation.

It just reminded of episodes like this.

Yawn haven't watched this show in long time. Mystical vision quest episodes are boring in every single TV show they appear in. Character enter a dream like world where they are visited by a creature that doesn't speak and so the Character spend the rest of the episode walking around trying to discover the answer. Last time I watched this show the same thing was happening. Stop watching after that. Only started to watch again recently once I heard the series was wrapping up.

My VE-1 is arriving today! I'll be leaving the house at noon so it better come before then.

A couple of times I got SAL within 10 days. I have problems paying extras like EMS and even next day domestic shipping because no matter what fast shipping you pay for there's always a chance that the online store will just get behind in sending out packages. What good is fast shipping when someone takes a week just to get a package out the door.
-
After 15 days my VE-1 has finally arrived in country.

2 really grown ass men in their fifties holding on to a 30+ year old grudge doesn't make an exciting conflict. It just looks sad.
