    "Rumble(Blue)" Man, I love that the arguments over color schemes for these two have gone long enough and fierce enough that THIS is the packaging label they need to use.

    That was me, actually. I like your follow-through, though.

    Next Macross straight-up stars Hatsune Miku.

    Even if it didn't work, the zentradi might would've been stunned briefly by the audacity of someone equipping a stationary planet to do a death blossom.

    It didn't fail to blow the city councilmen away either.

    And a video about the making of Lore lore would be Lore lore lore.

    This is the first thing I've heard that makes me interested in this film.

    They're more of a force of nature in terms of scale and predictability. You live in California, you just accept that the ground moves and sometimes houses fall down. Stuff happens. You live in Oklahoma, you just accept that sometimes thunderstoms get out of hand and the wind might throw a car through your front door before throwing your roof into the neighbor's yard. No biggie. You live in the Macross universe, you just accept that a hundred thousand flying pickles manned by millions of thirty-foot soldiers sometimes fly in and shoot up the town. It's just one of those things.

    They WERE, but I think they're being ignored now. Honestly, I'm here for the adventures of an intrepid band of explorers going on thought-provoking adventure, with occasional ridiculous detours to the Tribble-verse. And the Enterprise is one of those characters. When the original 1701 blew up on the TV(I was too young to see Search for Spock in theaters), it was like one of the other members of the cast had died to bring back Spock. When the 1701-D went out on the big screen(I WAS old enough to see Generations in theaters!), it was a big deal, though overshadowed by Kirk's death. But Kirk almost immediately came back in the novels, the Enterprise-D stayed dead. ... And an entire era died with her, as the ships that followed were of a more militaristic bent. The -E felt like a warship, and it didn't help that we were introduced to her in Star Trek: The Action Movie. If an Enterprise is going to die, it deserves to die onscreen.

    Warp faults are sort of a thing, actually. One of the NexGen episodes(Force of Nature seems to be the title) they found out high-warp travel damages the boundary between realspace and subspace, and can actually cause it to tear open so subspace spills out into realspace.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that the evil King Koopa has kidnapped Princess Toadstool Peach(fiiiiiiiiiiiiine).

    I've known about Mario's jerkface side for years. Donkey Kong Jr tried to warn us all.

    Hey, that was the second-biggest movie about dinosaurs in 1993! I actually saw it in theaters because Jurassic Park was sold out.

    Tell him you have the Mario movie at home, and pop in the DVD of THE Mario movie.
  15. JB0
    Hashtag not my Mario.

    The shuttle mode's horrendous too, and it doesn't have the excuse of "necessary compromises for a triple-changer".

    Putting it kindly, how much Macross have you watched? Because you're proposing scenarios that were demonstrated on-camera in the original SDF Macross, and weren't exactly silver bullets. Hikaru gave Britai a faceful of boot-thrust, and it did no lasting harm.

    Except maybe a little sun. It's rare that yellowing would improve a toy, but I think it might do the trick here.

    Perhaps in pods on the side of the nosecone, though those could easily be mistaken for FLIR sensors and cause confusion later.

    That was almost certainly why he didn't just roll up in his VF-22 from 7.

    I'm surprised they're offering everyone full refunds.

    They couldn't think of a plane to give MAX? The man who can turn anything into a viable fighter and they couldn't think of a single logical plane?

    Macross doesn't really HAVE a rogues gallery. That sort of concept requires, fundamentally, a failure to come to an understanding, and Macross is largely more hopeful than that. The franchise doesn't have recurring antagonists, because today's nemesis is tomorrow's friend.
  24. JB0
    A fair point, and taken. I wasn't meaning to argue it, just adding that Urban Champion gets hit coming AND going.
  25. JB0
    And it's an even worse time for a versus fighter. Urban Champion isn't adhering to the rules set by Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat a decade afterwards, and it is impossible to not be judged by comparison to them.
