    I dunno, I kept getting distracted by the ridiculous dialogue. It was like they threw the entire script into a blender, blitzed for five seconds, then scooped out a handful of words to use for the trailer. EDIT: The upside down mirror section was pretty neat, though, ngl. More like that, please.

    It doesn't need to be a competition... That being said, the Hase photo does a good job making the heft look intimidating. I really like it. Same with the head laser. I do have to admit, despite my misgivings about the Plamax kit, it makes a very pretty, clean-looking Armored. Aaaaaalmost enough to make me get one...

    Eh, it doesn't look bad per se, just same-y. Homogenized.

    Specifically, I think it is a Bandai 1996 "LM (Limited Model)" non-scale model kit of the Alseides from the anime Escaflowne.

    I especially like that the curtain was folded on itself, rendering it just as malfunctioned as the robot it was meant to hide.

    That's the issue with exploring these things too in depth (which is to say, almost in any depth at all). The mystique breaks down almost instantly and they stop being the fearsome movie monsters they're supposed to be. Which, again, isn't exactly a BAD thing to do... It just isn't specifically what I want from a Predator movie. As for Dek, I didn't think much about it. I figured they just wanted a unique look. Weirdly, I have the opposite problem of basically seeing zero videos on my feed at all, spoilers or otherwise.

    I'll say this, the whole warrior culture thing seems waaay off base. This is a hunting culture, not a warrior one. Or at least that's what it was built up as, to me. The one thing I've always felt that the comics/expanded lore/etc. gets wrong is not adhering to that distinction. Like, I'd like to see more survivalist or conservationist philosophizing girding the backbone of the civilization, not... bushido. As it is, absolutely none of the story and character beats are at all surprising or interesting, just executed competently enough as to be entertaining. This same movie, starring a Les Stroud-/Steven Rinella-(/Jeremiah Johnson-, for the more grizzled among you )type predator, would have been very interesting. But I can't deny I had a good time nonetheless.

    I wonder if they're going to bother concocting a reason for the gang to be together again. Frankly, I'd rather they not, just have it be a standalone episode and let the fans figure out the canon if they really absolutely must do so. EDIT: New page tax:

    Mild spoilers, but also very funny:

    I can't wait to see what the threequel's title will be.

    Or call it "The Mummy 3" and don't bother to address the other one at all. Bonus points because "the other one" could be referring to either of two different movies.

    I've heard that this is the best execution of them all yet, both as an adaptation and as a standalone work, so I'm interested to check it out.

    Ooh, that's a really nice job with a really nice kit. I love the FSS-adjacent look of this design. Also, those MSG wild hands look perfectly at home on that kit. I'd have thought they'd be ever so slightly too large, but I guess the PA itself being larger than the average 1/144 helps. Why'd you swap out the... missiles? lasers? on its back, though? Just wanted a different look? Regardless, it doesn't detract from the look, and I like the little bit of dressing up you did to the wings around those pylons. Enough to be interesting, not enough to be distracting.

    Hm, thanks for the commentary. I also suspected those numbers were chosen because they sounded best, but given how intentional/diegetic the rest of it was, surely - SURELY - there was a reason to go with those as well. ...or maybe not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
