    At this point, I'm wondering if Star Citizen can actually AFFORD to come out of alpha and into release mode.

    It wouldn't be Star Trek if you didn't write a script that ignored/directly contradicted last week's episode.

    Good for Kojima. He's needed to get out of Konami for a good while, if you ask me. Now he's got room to stretch his legs again, and doesn't have to keep reinventing Metal Gear.

    Actually, I think it is what the "true fans" want. It's not a bad movie, though certainly not without it's flaws. Soundwave and Blaster both lived, and Shockwave was Sir Not Appearing In This Film. ... What? I thought Blaster was awesome. Modern Hasbro is definitely a lot more child-savvy. My understanding is it never dawned on them while doing the original movie that kids might see these characters as "people" instead of just their toys doing silly things on the TV. Though of course, they've killed several characters off in the kid-oriented media since then, so in a way the original movie was groundbreaking for US children's entertainment. And, well, they didn't gun down half the cast in pointless stands of futility. EVERYONE goes out like Prime nowadays.

    The original creators didn't write Trek into a corner. A pair of incompetent hacks proud of the fact they had no knowledge of the franchise's history did. A pair of hacks that took over after the original creator was dead(not that Roddenberry was a saint himself, but...). But what do I know? I'm a non-fan that never liked anything before the Abrams movies. It isn't like I grew up watching Trek reruns, I DEFINITELY never wanted to be Captain Kirk when I grew up, I was totally not excited as hell to see them doing a BRAND-NEW STAR TREK SERIES, and I absolutely positively didn't waste hours of my life buried in Trek books because watching two shows a week PLUS RERUNS wasn't enough Trek for me. No, I never really cared much for Star Trek at all.

    I... didn't say they were films? I said the franchise was doing a fine job destroying itself without Abrams' help, not that the Voyager and Enterprise movies killed the franchise. And, well... while I also didn't say universally, I DID say near-universally. And I stand by that. The balance of opinion on both shows is far more against them than for them*. Hell, Enterprise actually got Trek kicked off the air, putting an end to two decades of continuous Star Trek productions. It DID come within a stone's throw of killing the franchise. I remember how crazy it was when Deep Space 9 started, and we had TWO STAR TREK SHOWS AT ONCE. Those days were awesome. *I happen to think Enterprise was, on average, better than Voyager, but recognize that is ALSO a minority opinion. And when Enterprise was bad, it was VERY bad.

    I don't think the A and B ever got canonically destroyed. Obviously they were retired from service, but there's no indication it was a violent retirement. The E was pretty banged up, but not retired, when last seen. Same is true of the NX-01, if I recall correctly. I didn't actually WATCH the final episode of that one, I admit. But yeah, it wouldn't be the first time they blew up an Enterprise. It's highly likely, if the last movie's desperate attempt to homage/crap on the bullet points of Star Trek II is any indication.

    It can hardly be worse than the status quo.
  9. JB0
    Oh, come on. The franchise was doing a fine job of destroying itself without JJ's help. Voyager and Enterprise are near-universally reviled, and justifiably so.

    I won't, because I still have to watch two of the prequel movies if I do.
  11. JB0
    Oh, did they back off of that idea? I'm kind of disappointed to learn that. I mean, sure it was an awful idea, and (obviously) I wasn't going to watch it either way, but.. dammit, OWN your crazy!

    Robot singers? The Sentinels remake confirmed!

    But this one has GREEN HAIR TOO. If she were a cyborg, she'd be the perfect character forever.
  14. JB0
    Girl with green hair! Quality confirmed!

    So I guess the big lens is some sort of sun-crusher?

    Heyhey! Isn't this board PG?

    Crazimus Prime is definitely distinct. I'm honestly not even bothered how out of character he is, precisely because of how out of character he is. You get far enough away, and there ceases to be any connection to the original beyond a name, and that's where Crazimus sits.

    Spoilers: Tatooine is actually the Death Star.

    We could deliver commission fees for manga pages. ... This sounds like a bankrupting proposition.
  20. JB0
    Do it!
  21. JB0
    Thanks! That's a perfect Christmas gift for someone on my list.
  22. JB0
    Is this an improvement over the status quo? I can't tell.

    Harmony Gold sues Disney, claim sole copyright to Star Wars was transferred to them in 1985. News at eleven.

    I was around five when the original cartoon started, and pretty much immune to logic issues. But even then, I loved space. A rocket base was like the coolest thing ever. I admit, the Ark turning into a giant robot was pretty cool too.

    God, and they completely wasted those minutes, too. Superhero movies have a really bad habit of killing off the bad guy every time, no matter how much potential he has left, or how famous his escapes are. It's kind of a serious problem. Also: This is kinda ironic in hindsight. And sad.
