    No, but when they’re making their own statements that the show had lower numbers, then I think that’s it right there. They are putting the spin that the numbers were growing episode to episode, but that’s just trying to make a loss into a win. As far as dollars, the show may actually be more profitable than the acolyte due to it being a far less expensive show.

    I do have to agree on that as most episodes weren’t bad at all. I think the other at planet episode and the ending really were the only ones getting bad talk. Unfortunately many people don’t want to watch a show if someone says the ending sucked or it just doesn’t have an ending. It’s tough to recommend a show when you can’t say it ends at all. There’s far too many options out there for people and if they weren’t excited for more Star Wars from when it originally was added, they’re not gonna be all that interested when they hear that it’s meh at best overall

    That fire Valkyrie looks like it literally went through a fire. Maybe it was too close to the pyrotechnics. But I do gotta say that it really fits in with old school preshading from the mid nineties, and since Macross 7 was from that era, it looks like this model really stepped right out from a model magazine of that time. It has a very nostalgic feeling to how it was overdone and I’m not sure if that’s intentional but I’m pretending that it is

    But the series didn’t do well. Lower viewership than their biggest flop isn’t a win. The only thing successful was that it didn’t cost as much to makes. This also isn’t all about Star Wars, but everything Disney has been in charge of lately . The marvel stuff is failing hard at just about every turn, Star Wars has lost its cool Indy should’ve stayed retired and I feel really sad for poor little Willow. If this show just had an ending, it could’ve made people feel like things were back on track. As is Nobody is excited for the Mando movie or the upcoming Captain America movie, and we’re all hoping Daredevil doesn’t end up trash.

    I think he was confused with Alan R or maybe it was just a typo. but Alien 3 was weird enough that it seems like Lynch played a major part in its making.

    I think that the acolyte definitely harmed this shows reputation, but with the few viewers it had are mostly complaining about how it ended is doing even more harm and it may not get those extra over time views due to poor word of mouth. It’s sorta like the problem people had with game of thrones. Not a show I was into, but people loved it more a more as it went on til whatever went south in the last season or so. Now all I hear are complaints about how poor the show was. I guess the next show did alright for a while, but I hear the viewers are dipping there as well and didn’t seem to like how it’s going for whatever reason. But the big difference is that even though they may be in a similar situation, game of thrones still has a much much higher viewership than Star wars in the modern era and probably will bounce back. Star Wars is just constantly flopping at this point due to poor writing. if this show had just stuck the landing, it could’ve been the show to bring back interest in the galaxy far far away. Instead it’s like you said, totally forgettable and mediocre overall.

    I think a lot of it was that he did a lot of amazing drugs, but the results were usually very entertaining, even if the project was a failure

    I think a lot of the copying was more of a paying homage kinda thing, but I don’t know exactly what show or movie they were trying to copy from by not having an ending. There’s been a few, but nothing that’s really memorable since most of those were mistakes. Maybe it was Blood Debts, but at least that one lets you know in an awkwardly immediate way how it ended and what happened after in what has become the most epic ending for a movie ever for its quick wrap up. Now that I think about it, Blood Debts is the exact opposite, so that can’t be. It was extremely informative in like ten seconds of footage

    That dark dreary awkwardness set a tone that has stuck in the minds of everyone’s vision of what dune should look like

    I really don’t like the designs here. There’s some elements that are kinda neat, but none of them have a great overall look.

    As far as the whole morality thing, I’m definitely more interested in something from a franchise where the holders of the license are just sitting on it rather than doing something about it . M.A.S.K. Hasn’t had a toy in decades that was legit. And may never get one from the big companies. Or there’s Marshall Bravestar and a few others that Ramen sometimes gets a license for and other times not so much. But that goes for other companies as well. I ain’t gonna live forever, and if I see someone put out a great toy that I have the space for that the ligit license holders aren’t putting out and have no plans to produce, then a third party figure or bootleg or whatever you want to call it is sometimes the only option and I wouldn’t feel at all bad about it.

    That’s gonna be next for me. I finished Flasback 2012 and am on the Macross plus stuff, next is 7 stuff. I haven’t decided where to fit zero yet. I might do that last, but might do it before Frontier.

    There’s ways they could’ve had an end episode that was more exciting without necessarily being anymore violent than the episode right before it. Jod just pops a werewolf there. That basically kills the non violence of the show argument right there in the previous episode. He spaced a guy in the first few minutes of the first episode and those weren’t the only deaths. And again, I’m not looking for a bloodbath or anything near that, just something more for this show. They could also have had an ending episode planned to where Jod not only had a cool scene, while also having the kids somehow take a big focus. They also could’ve written the parents as far less mentally deficient, this was absolutely overkill. It just all would’ve taken a little creative writing instead of the lame final episode where they forgot to end the show. I get the feeling that the true ending if it were slightly more realistic would’ve ended up with the children of the planet all taking over easily since the parents were so absolutely useless and non functional that their society would devolve into exactly what that other At planet turned into. I don’t know if Disney even cares that much about the numbers anymore. The Acolyte may have had better numbers and didn’t get renewed, but then again cost quite a bit more to make. Andor had pretty bad views, but still got the green light for a second season. I think Disney may be hoping that word of mouth overtime would make the show successful enough to bring in more viewers, but fumbling the last episode as badly as they did definitely hurt the show’s reputation. Now it went from the only good thing Disney has made from the Star Wars franchise in the last couple years to being known as the show that’s just “not as bad as the other Star Wars shows”

    I bet they map out the floor plan to get right to what they’re looking for before they sell out

    I think it’s not so much that Americans don’t want to do third party toys, but that it might be a lot tougher. Over here it’s much easier to be prosecuted over copying from another license and a lot of these companies tend to start off in the bootleg way before getting into the actual licensing if they do get them at all. The labor is the other big issue. Over here the labor and material costs and overall manufacturing are too high compared to those overseas costs, but just being a start up in another country gets a good start communication wise with the manufacturers to get things rolling faster. A random fan from the U.S. has to not only have the skills for the design, but has to have the communication skills and connections to do the overseas manufacturing. Otherwise I think a lot more of these older franchises would have been handled by American fans.
