Must be nice to leave your mark on the world.

Also, while there IS an animation error that shows a 3-gunned VF1, it was very clearly intended to be the classic cannon-fodder 1A, and some damn fool just drew 1J cannons on the sides of the head. ... This episode ALSO features turkey legs the size of men, and a cigarette lighter gunpod... and cigarettes the size of men, for that matter. Where in that desolate barren wasteland did they find enough tobacco to make zentran-size smokes to start with?

The burden of power. Can't ignore the idiots because they're the people most likely to need your special touch.

Maybe he thought she was bad in bed?

I'd actually like to see something like that. A live version of Princess Lana might prove to be entertaining... 318935[/snapback] Oh, most definitely. With the right casting, she might be reason enough to watch the thing all on her own.

Myth: The Zentraedi couldn't repair their own equipment: Source: RT and Pat Payne's post Reality: The Zentraedi are seen several times throughout SDF Macross repairing their own equipment. Remember Kamzin in his wifebeater when their ship was crashed in the Amazon, and he was bitching at his guys to get it fixed. 318978[/snapback] That's much later, though. And Kamjin has a bunch of "cultured" zentradi that spent time in human factories, on uman sconstruction crews, etc. Lacking the education humanity gave them, their version of repairs can be seen when Max breaks Hikaru, Misa, and Kakizaki out of Britai's ship. Most notably, beyond sweeping up the broken glass Britai's command area is left unchanged until post-war, when the entire ship is totally remodeled to make it suitable for mixed-scale use. This is in spite of his down time while Lap'Lamiz deals with things, so it's not because he was too busy for repairs.

Ummm, me?

Hmm, those e-mails have a certain familiar tone... ...MGREXX, are you really Jack Thompson? 318849[/snapback] HAHA! ... I was thinking the same thing earlier, actually.

I thought it was a pot of hot steaming piss? 318850[/snapback] Maybe that was what went wrong...

I think it was overcooked.

Yes indeed I did tell you to grow up...in response to this, posted by you several hours prior to my "grow up" comment: For a guy who is so f'ing smart you need to learn how to spell RETARDED. MBA my ass. 318789[/snapback] Waitwait... AgentONE is smart? I thought only MGREXX was allowed to have any sort of "intellect"

The collar was also turned up and tugged as high as it went. I can only assume the hat pulled down so well because the 1A has a tiny head relative to proper human/zentran proportions. Really, though, the only way it works at all is if Max jumped someone about Britai's size. And Britai can rip a Valk apart bare-handed, so it's not too likely...

If anyone missed it... Jacks' a loon. http://vgcats.com/jack.php

Here you have some lineart 318657[/snapback] Note that a battroid is about equal to a LARGE zentradi, but comes well above the average height. So there IS some fudge room, though the ings alone make it very unlikely a battroid would ever fit into zentradi mecha.

That's just because The Blasphemy has colored a lot of people's perceptions of the one true anime.

I sure hope that you don't have any, then. 318455[/snapback] Wow...that was a cogent rebuke. 318461[/snapback] Now, now... write at a level appropriate to his vast intellect I'd recommend "OMG U R TEH SUX!1111"

Roy actually joked about having it replaced with "my small penis." 318318[/snapback] Haw. DO IT!

Someone should put Stealth into the word filter. Can you imagine seeing a thread titled "Just saw Not-A-Macross-Plus-Ripoff and it's a total ripoff of Macross Plus"?

Are things always that expensive in Europe? 318292[/snapback] As I understand things, the prices in Europe tend to be set in a make-believe world where 1 pound/Euro = 1 US Dollar. So, at least for video games, yes.

I thought they were added in because the animators had made Max shoot a giant laser beam and there wasn't time to totally redraw the scene.

Heh.

On a related note, I've heard people espousing that Myth: Robotech was ported back into the Macross timeline. Source: LSD?

Source: Fans who don't remember the show that much. Roy was actually shot by squad of Q-Raus. And ONE of those QRaus was Millia. From there Milia had to have fired the fatal shot, because only the best zentradi pilot could hit the most-experienced human pilot. It's silly, of course. Even in TV people don't have an aura that repels bullets shot by someone of lesser skill.

Blech. I still think the E10 rating does more to confuse the issue than anything else. Not that I think Hollywood's PG and PG13 aren't similarly messy, but they're grandfathered in. People have had two decades to get used to them, and have(though with the content being a floating target, people keep having to adjust their expectations). On the ESRB's side, people are STILL complaining that the ratings are confusing, though not even Granas knows why. It's been a decade, and the ratings state VERY clearly what the appropriate audience is. I think ratings categories for Everyone(G), Teens(PG13), and Mature/Adults(OMG TEH R!1111*) is a quite reasonable rating system. Adding more steps just muddies the waters. But of course, it's all marketing. There's a collection of parents that understand the ESRB ratings denote age appropriateness, but not that they're only suggestions. Hence, E10, for kids whose parents don't grasp that they're mature enough for some T games. Same reason M exists, really. Retailers, not understanding that adults play games, refuse to carry AO games. So they claim they're for 17-year-olds instead of 18-year-olds. No real diffrence developmentally. But because the law says 17 is a child and 18 is an adult, and people pretend the law actually affects biology and you magically become signifigantly diffrent on your 18th birthday, M is acceptable to retailers. *I ALSO think that "restricted" is a poor rating label, as the word carries a certain negative connotation without meaningfully conveying information. It sounds more like it belongs at the top of a banned books list than as a descriptor on a movie intended for "mature" people. NC17 is at least clear. No Children. ... End tangental rant.
