    More River City Ransom! Heck yeah!

    And they aren't even budgeting LEGS. It's STILL going to be a Guntank when they're done!

    You forgot "BOMBAA!" He really would!

    Rad. I'm definitely interested in this.

    Basically, we don't know what natural threats may have entailed, as we know nothing ABOUT their natural home. It's kinda like if aliens found some astronauts siphoning air off the alien ship, and tried to deduce something about human society from that. There's just no real way to tell.

    You're makin' a great point and I'mma let you finish, but... Basara was actually working in the service of the military, his VF-19 was supplied and maintained by the military, and the upper command of the Mac7 fleet was running interference for him because he WAS a military psyops mission. So they created Sound Force instead, and it worked. I've described him as a force of nature, but... yes. And it's all largely reasonable analysis of the situation, sabotaged by the fact that the story, of course, ignores some of the more realistic consequences that would result from Basara's behavior* in favor of the kinda silly super-robotish take on things the writers were going for. *In both directions. Those speaker pods are INSANELY dangerous from any rational perspective, and he's firing them with reckless abandon at targets he has no desire whatsoever to injure. To say nothing of Speaker Pod Gamma. I, too, am Gamlin.

    Fair enough. To heck with Gamlin.
  8. JB0
    Are you saying Gamlin doesn't matter?!?!

    Initially, Kaifun is thrown into the middle of a situation he doesn't understand. He truly believed that if everyone stopped shooting and just TALKED, the war would end. His ideals are put to the test, and bend to reality, seeing him become a direct participant in the largest offensive of the war. By the end of the war, he KNOWS there was never another choice but to fight. I think it's far too easy to forget that, and project Kaifun the bitter troll onto Kaifun the naive pacifist. It does his character a disservice. Certainly, he's a complete toolbox in the end, and I do not defend his character. But it isn't how he started. He was, in the beginning, much like Basara, a man who believed there was always a peaceful resolution available. He just didn't have anima spiritia and a custom robojet-thing painted in the most ostentatious shade of red available.

    Isn't this the "Everything that isn't actually Delta news" thread?

    Well, the next show is going to star some of the Jenius girls, and we're pretty sure they get themselves into trouble a lot, but are good at getting back out of it.

    In fairness, a lot of actors have LOST their paychecks because they got typecast. If you can't find work, you don't get paid. And being typecast makes it a lot harder to find work.

    The barrel has no bottom, just increasingly firm layers of muck.

    I guess I need to get around to reading my copy of the book before filming wraps, so I can see the movie and gripe about all the things they got wrong.

    If 1 isn't the "no gun" pod variant, I'll eat my hat. (Spoilers: I don't actually own a hat)

    I actually did remember Emilia. Her appearance really raises more questions than it answers. ONE of their daughters is... a spacehobo. That lives in a cave in the mountains of Nowhereworld, population twenty-five(globally). But I suppose I should've said the TV series treats her as an only child. Also, dad Max looks just hilariously laidback in that baggy sweater.

    I think the reason I want to see some sort of Komillia reference is Mac7. Max and Millia returned, with a kid. They could've at least had a phone call from their eldest in one episode or something instead of play it like Mylene is an only child.

    It still didn't make sense why the rocks responded, though. It wasn't rock music.
  19. JB0
    Quite possibly! I mean, he was hanging out with his personal harem EVERY DAY on the bridge.
  20. JB0
    If the next series doesn't feature Komillia in some regard, I will be very upset. ... Well, okay, I'll be mildly disappointed, but I'll get over it. I'd just like some hint about what she's doing now.
  21. JB0
    Having seen Fantastic Four 2, I can easily believe it's that bad.
  22. JB0
    Also Millia - Max - ALL THE BRIDGE BUNNIES

    It hints that it will be a marriage of three unrelated series into a new brand. Macross Δ: Robotech

    Fuel level sensors. So they can be technically correct without providing any meaningful information in the name.

    I'm reasonably sure Fox doesn't care. I suspect they made this one not because they thought it'd be the next big thing, but because they were going to lose the rights if they didn't do something soon. Same reason we got the original Casino Royale movie.
