    It looks like it will be so bad, that even if they show it on a plane as the in-flight movie, people will still walk out on it! O.o

    According to wikipedia, PG-13 as July 1 1984: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Association_film_rating_system

    No, I just said I didn't see how it made a difference, and that-- Tell you what: I'll solve this for you. I just put you on ignore, so that way you don't have to worry about me commenting on any of your posts. My best friend was just diagnosed with Glioblastoma; I don't need this crap today. Departing topic.

    Because it reeks of Hanlon's Razor, that's why.

    Kindly... don't complain about someone's opinion when you ask for it: My comment of "I don't see how a desaturated paint job makes much difference, other than that several years later, someone forgot to repaint the ships." is my reply to your question of "how far off do you think I'd be with this interpretation of Battle 7?" I simply do not see a desaturated paint job as making any remarkable difference in the interpretation. You threw a pic of your work up without much context other than asking "how far off" would it be; that invites people to tell you what they think of it in those terms. I decided it didn't make much difference in my opinion and replied as such. Maybe if you had included the other photos with the same explanation you included in your rebuttal to me, it would have given me more info to consider while deciding what I thought of it. Instead, it came across as "I gotcha!! Now stop picking on me!!", and I find that intellectually dishonest.

    If that's the case, she's doing a brilliant job.

    That's fine; I'm not sure I accept your synopsis of my post as correct. There's a reason they developed that technology, and the Anti-UEG wasn't primarily it: Source: https://macross.fandom.com/wiki/Unification_Wars As for this comment: As the saying goes: "Generals always fight the last war"; in UN Spacy's case, the generals plans were for the warfare they thought would come, based on the wars they had fought. They didn't have in mind that the next one would be a space-based war. I don't see how a desaturated paint job makes much difference, other than that several years later, someone forgot to repaint the ships.

    So in running Zeon (right into the ground), Kycilla shot herself in the foot, then promptly spun the gun around and shot herself in the head.

    I think one important role the Destroids served in the story was to point out how the "battlefield of yesterday" doesn't necessarily prepare you for the battlefield of tomorrow. UN Spacy developed the Destroids on the assumption (as previously pointed out by @Seto Kaiba on several occasions) that whoever came looking for the ASS-1/ Macross would be conducting a traditional ground war that would deal in holding territory. It never crystalized in anyone's thinking that when they came, it would be largely space-based. I also think Seto pointed out that as the reason there wasn't more of a focus on the fuel capacity of the VF-1's in space, as it was assumed most action would be in atmosphere. All of that said: I think if UN Spacy had a better idea of the actual "playing field", we'd have seen more fighters with a larger fuel supply (maybe something more akin to the VF-4 out the gate), perhaps less of an emphasis on transforming fighters, and a far greater emphasis on planetary defenses like the orbital network in Macross Plus.

    After expending so much of its' resources and forces combating Zeon, you can hardly blame them if they took that position and just waited for them to collapse. The less organized and solvent they are, the weaker they would be for the Federation to have to take on the next time. It also gives Earth a chance to recover in some fashion (especially given the condition it's in at the start!).

    I think the most use they ever came in was when Misa Hayase organized them in the bow of Daedalus for the Daedalus Attack. Good; my memory still works then.

    Ix that the episode where a trio of old monster pilots accidentally blow up a building?
  13. pengbuzz
    That's how I feel as well; I think they're trying to "ride a wave" as far as popularity goes, but they've put out crap for the past few series', and it's fatiguing a lot of folks who look for the story in it.

    Right? And it would allow for the new version to have her own persona and idiosyncrasies, so a new actress (or actor, since it may be a "son") could make that role truly their own.

    I also wonder if surplus destroids were purchased by several municipalities and modified for other purposes? *Imagines a destroid plowing the road after a snowstorm in December*

    I think they need to give the Gundam universe a rest for a bit before embarking on another new series. Take some time to really think about characters, potential storylines and series concepts, as they seem to be "running on fumes" at this point (trying to be more charitable than just writing them off as "lazy" and such). Your take on this, Seto?
  18. pengbuzz
    Same; although maybe a "Dot 2.0" or something may be good if handled the right way.
  19. pengbuzz
    ROFL!!

    Yeah... just a nightmare for accuracy's sake though. O.o *Imagines giant tube of glue being held by several valks as they position a new module in place*

    Thanks MT!! That reminds me: I need to look up the IMPS standards for real space and sci-fi modeling (for both my shuttle and TOS Enterprises).
  23. pengbuzz
    Yeah...a rather attractive idea. I'll see myself out now...

    That's what I was thinking with my suggestion; I just couldn't remember what those things were called! And yeah, that's why I suggested wiggling the parts: the biggest enemy of styrene when disassembling something is stress on the plastic in a specific, concentrated area. Too much, and you just bent a part, or worse, broke it! Often, I'll use this if I need to get things apart:
  25. pengbuzz
    I'd use the minimum force necessary to pull the pieces apart, and something to get between parts that is a little softer than the plastic so as not to bend or mar it. You can also try wiggling parts slightly to get them to come loose; just take it slowly and stop if you feel something may break.
