Likewise, especially that larger VF-1S!

I found this exchange between Marge Gueldoa and Reymond Marley (Sharon's Manager [?]) here: https://wiki2.org/en/Macross_Plus?s=Macross_Plus_Remastered_eng_srt ---------------------- Raymond: How do you expect to make Sharon work?! Marj: With a Bio/Neural chip. Raymond: What? Marj: I installed one in Sharon so she could learn on her own. Raymond: Even though they're illegal?! Those things contain a dangerous self-preservation base psychology! What happens if it should be amplified? Marj: You'd have a truly unpredictable consciousness. Isn't that the Sharon we've been trying to create? Raymond: You're insane. Did you think about what would happen if we lost control?! ----------------------------- (emphasis mine) So if the previous is in any way accurate to the original dialogue, the bio neural chip was based around the chip acting in its' own best interests, even at the expense of everything and everyone else. Because of that, it would take whatever action it deemed necessary to its' own survival and optimal condition, no matter who got hurt, killed or turned into red guacamole. In that vein, it would become increasingly reactionary to perceived threats, making choices and initiating actions based on said decisions. Consequently, the longer the chip was active, the more it would perceive threats from those around it, as it would inherently opt for "survival" and thus become erratic. Add that to Sharon Apple (who was already based on Myung's fractured/damaged psyche), and Sharon becomes the embodiment of all of Myung's inner conflicts, desires, anger, fear and pain, amongst other issues. Just my two cents, for what its' worth. Not sure if I'm seeing this right, but I figured it was worth a shot.

Thanks! Okay, the full story: my wife and I were at the antique mall in Denver (somewhere on South Broad, if memory serves), and I found the model with most of the superstructure missing (including masts and whatnot), and the top deck not attached, sitting next to it. I figured it wouldn't be very much, so we brought it up front, as it didn't have a price on it. With these places, if you can't find a price on the item (sometimes the tag falls off, gets taken off, etc), you bring the item up front with the booth number so the person at the front desk/ register can call the person renting the booth to ask. So the cashier gets a hold of the guy whose booth it was in (he was there that day bringing in more stuff for his booth) and he comes up and confirms it was definitely one of his items for sale. The guy wanted a thirty bucks for it (are you kidding me?!); in the condition it was in, I told him "no way". He got a bit of an attitude when I listed to him the issues and the challenges those would pose to anyone. He tried claiming "It's a classic and you can't get that anymore!", with his burly friend standing there agreeing with him, arms folded and scowling at me. I pulled out my smartphone and showed them both that they could get a brand new kit of it at Hobby Lobby for $22.99 ($13.00 with a 40% off coupon that they had back then!) Neither one of them seemed that imposing after that. So, I offered 5 bucks for the model, he accepted that and we paid the cashier, took the model and got out of there. Yeah, I noticed on the fighter I tried to build that the plastic is soft and just not very resilient (almost feels like there's air in the mix or something!). If I were ever able to get a Hasegawa Battroid kit, I would not even install the regular joints, instead opting to either glue in my own, or even doing a partial endoskeleton, with the armor attached to it. That...or try attaching the parts to the transform on my VF-1 Bandai chunky and making a hybrid. O.o

it's the Revell 1:535 kit I had found it an an antique mall back when I lived in Denver; the guy wanted 20 bucks for it (half assembled, missing parts, thick goopy enamel paint, etc.) After I pointed all that out, I got it for 5 bucks out the door. i stripped it down and modernized it (still need to finish it though!).

Bakes the pizza with his own rage, eh? "In the New UN Spacy justice system, moron- based offenses are considered especially heinous. In the BrĂsingr Globular Cluster the dedicated detectives who investigate these idiotic felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. Theses are there stories."
-
That would almost be worth doing up a parody... A pair of detectives from NUNS' SVU arrives to investigate complaints filed against Messer by various individuals in Delta Flight, and ends up interviewing Hayate, Mirage and the rest of the team, along with Walkure. The episode ends with Messer deliberately taking that shot to the dome to evade arrest and conviction. Complete with this sound:

Was digging around in my archives and found this one; someday I have to finish it:

As a matter of fact, I was just watching the Spicediver's Edit last night. I like how he combined all of them into the final result, and I agree about the voiceovers; if you have to keep explaining to the audience what's going on, then you're not filming the story correctly. As for the "weirding way"; I never really cared for the concept as a whole, so it didn't make much difference to me. But I do agree that turning it into hand-held blasters was a mistake. It makes it to where anyone could use it, and reduces it to just another weapon someone could grab in a fight. For folks wanting to know what the "Spicediver Edit" is, here ya go:

Heck...that movie beats out TF:TLK!!! lol

From the opening on Caladan in the 1984 movie, Gurney Hallack and Paul dueled; Gurney told Paul "Good...the slow blade penetrates the shield" (1:46):

You have to remove the cockpit section to raise the canopy shields? Wow... ! Spiffy fighter can't transform unless you eject!

Oh, I agree on all your points wholeheartedly. Don't let Michael bay ANYWHERE near ANY Macross, ever. I just like picking on Basara. đŸ˜›

Well, physically. As for emotionally...this is Basara Nekki we're talking about here. He has the emotional intellect of one of those leaves he ate while off on one of his gallivanting adventures...

Let's see if I can sum it up here...

"Discount Spock", "Great Value Brand Sheryl Nome"... seems a lot of the sci-fi/anime shows have taken to shopping generic, eh?

Well, "unfortunate" was meant as sarcasm; after all, the real unfortunate ones are those who were exposed to him...

Sorry, but Zendaya looks perpetually like she smelled something bad and can't get over it. O.o

In between infomercials, on Cartoon Network no less.

Richard Lester would be better than Michael Bay at the rate things are going...

No Time To Die - Bond 25 and future movies
pengbuzz replied to sh9000's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
That's what I mean by "act rather than react". Having a plan requires at least a little bit of forethought and initiative; I don't see that in Craig's version of Bond really. But at least he's got chicken... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLyOj_QD4a4 (WARNING: NSFW!!!!) -
Any chance you could reach out to Bandai for a replacement joint?

He'd probably blow up the SDF-1 in the first 10 minutes of the film...

Now Seto, please be kind to the unfortunate Mr. Messer. After all, his very name indicated what he would end up doing to his poor VF's cockpit... Messer and Keith up in the sky, Taking turns on which one would die; First comes missiles Then comes melee, Then the loser gets wiped up with a squeegee.

On the note of Star Trek: I came across this little gem a while back-

hi there, and welcome to the forums! Looks like one species that survived the decimation of Earth back in SW1 were scumbags. They seem to be thriving fine into the colony period of mankind...
