On a side note I'm rewatching BATMAN 1989 with my 9 year old daughter. She prefers it over THE BATMAN and Christopher Nolan trilogy. She did mention the gun show SFX sounds very old. lol

I could see how a kid would love that one more. It’s dark, but not depressing. It also feels more like a comic or cartoon than the other adaptations that seem to try to be more and more real world. The newer ones have more appeal to an adult than to a child or teen

Yeah this kind of just comes off as a supernatural John Wick riff, less Crow, he just seems like a guy with Wolverine powers and a revenge story, bummer. 

I was thinking the same exact thing this morning. At least the supernatural thing makes the unstoppable revenge killer thing more believable though. But definitely doesn’t look or seem right.
The biggest issue is that everything looks very bright. maybe it’s not as bad as it looks, but I don’t feel excited in the least to see this, while I’m far more interested in that other movie little Skarsgard goes for revenge in. Although that’s mostly because he has the voice of Bob and archer

Any indication whether Spiderman will make an appearance?

The last one seemed to imply that the 2 would meet...

 

I can’t remember if it was all in deleted scenes or not since I’ve only wanted to watch these once and probably never again, but I think there were teasers like posters or something even in the first one and something in Morbius. Morbius was definitely a far worse movie and I might have just dreamt about that because I kept falling asleep

Preview

Wolverine did a yeeow, meow, and a reow in only a minute. Usually he’s only one big grumble every couple episodes.

I’m getting close to the halfway point of season 3 and this one feels very different than the first couple seasons. The voicework and animation are really only a slight bit better, but it feels like a bigger improvement than it actually is. I don’t feel like I’m forcing myself into watching the show anymore. There’s definitely some bad writing hanging around and the voicework could still be better. 
Banshee’s first time showing off his powers is hilarious. He jumps off a cliff and says “eeeeeeeeeeee” and I couldn’t stop laughing.
And my favorite example of bad writing so far is an episode after the Phoenix saga ends and Scott goes back to the orphanage he grew up in. There’s a kid struggling with his mutant powers, so Scott decides to show him he’s not alone and that he’s just like the kid. He takes the kid on a walk through town having a heart to heart talk, and then actually Blows up a random building just to show that he’s also a Mutant. He could’ve shot into the sky or maybe popped a trash can, but no he goes hardcore and destroys a building and they never say if there were people inside or anything. Nobody noticed and there was no reason to do it. I rewound it a couple of times and just couldn’t stop laughing

Very disappointing that it has less to do with the source material than the original film which is more evidence that Hollywood thinks its audience is dumb.

If it was me producing the film it would be closer to the source material and filmed in black and white with a early 1990s setting.

 

I’m a bit iffy on it. At Least Ozzy is on the soundtrack

Do these characters actually have opening helmets or alternate heads?  Or maybe work with other existing heads?  Just wondering, since I would have expected to see pics of them by this point.

Their faces were too ugly I guess. Or maybe they just had bad hair

Yes, it looks like that to me.

So the order of the pewter (?) landing gears for the P-38 Lightning. Am I supposed to prep this somehow, or just apply some metal primer and just paint it? Do I need to soak these in lacquer thinner or something first?

With pewter, you can just go with a basic primer, but a metal primer might help more. I used to do pewter parts and they really didn’t need much other than the basics

That looks good to me! I'd say using German Gray for those dark parts would be good. Thanks! The Imai/Bandai instruction booklet color choices suck. It suggests using purple for what looks like very light gray to me. I think I might try switching to Mr. Color 66 Bright Green for the main body color after all.

The purple may have been suggested since depending on the picture, the light grey can have a slight blueish or purplish hue. But only very slightly. The one I posted earlier just looks like very light grey.

I’ll wait for a free watch. They’re not the worst movies, but not worth spending money or discounts or gift cards on

Can't tell from this image if it's just shading or something, but is Gate supposed to have only one eye?
 

Anyway this is a nice group image of all the Breakers team..

Not sure. There’s an odd outline of a circle where her eye should be that doesn’t quite look eye shaped. Not sure if there’s better pictures

Hey guys, I'm colorblind, so a little help would be appreciated. I have my Imai/Banda Q-Rau primed and ready for painting. I was thinking of using Tamiya XF-27 Black Green for the upper arms, thighs, feet, etc and Mr. Color 135 Russian Green 1 for the body, forearms, legs, etc. Would this be appropriate? Any suggestions?

I already painted the feet and such with Mr. Color 136 Russian Green 2 (which is darker), but it's just not dark enough. That's why I was thinking of going with the Black Green color.

(And FYI since there is always somebody who doesn't know what being colorblind entails, I can see colors, but sometimes my perception of color can be a bit... slippery, if that makes sense. I have to see some colors next to other colors in order for me to realize what they are. Especially red/green/brown can be confusing to me.)

Most pictures have shown a dark grey in the upper arms, upper legs, feet, cannons and side armor at the thighs and arm guns for Miria’s colors rather than green. But I’m not particularly a color snob

I attached a pic with the animation colors, not sure if it’s easier to see than the box art for you. I’ve known colorblind folk and sometimes it can be tricky communicating colors

Started those X Men Dark Phoenix episodes on season 3. Towards the end of season 2 Wolverine stopped saying meow and now sounds more like an angry Scooby Doo saying reow instead. I keep nda miss the meow because it made me laugh a little every time it happened.

Season three has slightly better animation than the previous two seasons and doesn’t have that horrible choppiness going on as much, but still needed better voice acting and dialogue. It’s definitely an improvement since the first couple seasons made The Tick seem like Shakespeare. Still pushing forward but this season is a bit longer than the previous ones. I probably won’t finish by the time 97 pops up

Interested in seeing this.

 

It’s D+, so it’s more than likely gonna be a dumpster fire

My only interest in this film is the new Batmobile, and if there will be a new one... 

Otherwise the whole Batman lore now is like cereal in a super market... just endless half empty boxes... 

 

As far as his ride, it may have a few additions but may be essentially the same.

At least Batman has half empty boxes. Poor Superman had a couple of mixed boxes that didn’t even have enough cereal combined to make a full bowl

I mean, I think overall Amazon has some absolute bangers for shows.

The Boys and Invincible are a breath of fresh air for superhero stuff, The Expanse is one of the greatest scifi series ever made period, Man in the High Castle is brilliant, Reacher and Terminal List were both fantastic throwbacks to classic action cinema, Good Omens and Gen V were both solid series. I'd say Amazon is far more hit then miss, Rings of Power was an epic stinker to be sure, but to use that to try to say Fallout will be a dumpster fire? I'm just not following. 

Basically I’d trust Amazon over some of the other streaming services. One stinker isn’t that bad of a track record. Disney+ would be a different story. That’s where I’d feel worried about a show popping up, but Amazon isn’t D+ 

Not really someone I listened to on my own, but I definitely recognize a few of the songs from soundtracks.

How this one ascended into a real life crossover meme I have no idea, but I would be curious to try the different sauces.  I know I've had a type of sweet chili sauce before, but might not be the same thing.

They had one that was similar not too long ago that was a sweet chili jam, but it was more jello like and hard to dip the nuggies

What I've been telling people about Barbie is that when you look at movie franchises like Fast and the Furious or Transformers, it's only fair that the ladies get their big, dumb movie, too. 😅

I just wish the lesson Mattel learned wasn't "Hey, let's make movies about all of our toys now!"

So a movie where He Man comes into the real world. Didn’t that kinda already happen?

I’m old and forgetting what other toys Mattel put out. I remember a lot of Hasbro and Kenner and eventually Playmates and Mcfarlane, but other than Masters of the Universe related items and Barbs, I’m drawing a blank

Let me be clear.. I really want it not to be a Dumpster fire, but unless you've been living under a rock,  or in your parents basement with no internet one does not need to look very far.  

I'll start with West World then...  First 2 seasons teetered beetween ok and good but never great.. the 3rd and... how'd that turn out again?

The Lord of the Rings reboot.. yeah nuff said

He-Man reboot?  anyone?

 

What I find amusing is how Amazon is touting this Fallout series with the headline about its the same writers from West World.. 

 

 

I’m gonna look more at Amazon for examples and some of their stuff is pretty great. Sure Rings of Power was as you said a dumpster fire, but Reacher is pretty fun for being kind of a basic television series with a bit of streaming flavor added, The Boys is still one of the best things in the superhero category along with Invincible.

I personally think Fallout looks far more promising than Rings of Power and hopefully Amazon has learned from that mistake. Sure there’s a chance for failure, but it looks like a different kind of show. As far as video game adaptations, it looks far better than Halo from p+. And I killed the last of us on Max. I couldn’t think of one on Amazon.

McDonald's is taking the ball with WcDonald's and running with it.  I don't advocate fast food very much, but the new ginger sauce for the nuggets is tasty.

I tried that sauce the other week and it’s actually pretty good. It leaves a bit of a tingle for a bit afterwards. Not quite as strong as the Mambo sauce did, but more tasty. 
The only drive through we have up here in Crestline is a McDonald’s and even though I’m not a fan, it’s what we got. I didn’t realize the sauce had a tie in to anything

 This is my new series for now, this was on Adult Swim last night and I immediately liked it. I found it online & just watched 4 episodes in a row, it's been a while since I've done that. 

Licorice recoil happens sometimes. I like that the logo is of a red vine snapping back.

Not sure how to make an entire series about a singular candy problem

I've heard guys complain about that kit's fit and the wings not taking the right shape or angle without a lot of help and a jig. It's a big point of contention with judges at model shows. You can have an awesome finish, but if they don't have the right angles, it puts you in a lower category. I hope it works out for you! - MT

That’s one thing that really sucks about real world modeling in competition. People get so nitpicky about everything while in the sci fi category someone could just snap a gundam kit together and it has a chance of winning or at least placing if they just put decals on it. There are more people that put mods into their gundams though lately and sometimes those really do get recognized, but at least there’s nobody trying to say that panel line wasn’t in the anime
