    I remember seeing the Yamato YF-19 and -21 in Suncoast Video ages ago. The thing that started all this legal mess in the first place, if I'm not mistaken. There USED to be a market for this stuff. It might be fair to say KG killed it.

    That's what I mean. I was invested in his first death. It had WEIGHT. I sorta felt cheated when he came back, and never really got over it. And bringing him back just to kill him again was narratively stupid.

    Not really. There's a point at which so much of your footage is just computer-animated effects that you don't have a live-action show. You have a CG cartoon with the occasional real-world face pasted onto it. What I'm saying is that Disney isn't doing live-action remakes, they're doing new cartoons. ... And possibly that the Marvel movies are cartoons.

    They'll have to call "The Macross Saga" something else in the UK. That's pretty much the extent of the issue, since they aren't actually interested in selling SDF Macross to anyone inside OR outside the UK. * "Foundation Saga" has a nice ring to it, I think. It also strikes me as on-brand for the Robotech franchise. If I were HG, that's what I'd start rebranding the tale of Rick Hunter, Lisa Hayes, and Lynn Minmei to. ... Or they could be boring and call it "First Generation" like they did for the novelizations. Less stomping on toes, less stolen greatness, more BORING. *This is, incidentally, why HG initially trademarked the Macross title. It was simply to prevent anyone from releasing anything with the word Macross in the title in the west unless they paid the ransom licensing fee to HG first.

    Honestly? I couldn't care about Avdol's death. After they brought him back, I couldn't get particularly invested in him. It was a joke.

    They might also just be emphasizing it, particularly given how HG has historically credited SDF as "copyright Tatsunoko

    I'd watch a Mister Clean movie. I can't say that about Robotech.
  8. JB0
    Of the new serieses, yes. Of SDF Macross, no. HG, through Tatsunoko, has exclusive worldwide distribution rights to that entry in the franchise.
  9. JB0
    But complaining about Robotech is like half the reason this forum even exists.

    I thought that was mostly because of Harmony Gold's infamous "we own everything Macross-related forever" claims. Big West was all "Why the heck did you tell your licensee you own everything Macross-related?!" and Tatsunoko was like "We didn't say crap to HG about anything but the original cartoon, what are you even talking about?" and Big West was "OUR licensees are saying that YOUR licensee is shaking them down over Macross Plus toys and Macross 7 comics and you claim you had nothing to do with it?! See you in court, bucko." Just another reason for Tatsunoko to drop HG like a hot potato, really.

    Doctor Chiba in drag, I'm tellin' ya!

    Speaking of money, didn't this thread start when HG was suing Tatsunoko for money? I mean, seriously. HG is pretty much the worst possible licensee.
  13. JB0
    Uuuugh. WHY, Tatsunoko?
  14. JB0
    I certainly hope so. While the other movies were musicals because Disney cartoons are musicals, in Little Mermaid's case it was baked into the story and characters.

    Maybe they'll give her red hair with CG in post. But yeah, the constant string of Disney remakes are just depressing coming from a studio that once prided itself on workmanship and creativity.
  16. JB0
    Like I said... it's a little late to be shouting about author's intent after praising Disney for taking a dump on said intent for ... basically the animation studio's entire existence.
  17. JB0
    I'm positive that Disney took a huge dump all over Andersen's story the first time around and no one cared(Why is the witch the size of Godzilla? Did they just ram her like Jaws? What is this bullcrap "lived happily ever after" ending?) . Calling "author intent" now is a little late. ... Especially if you're going to call the main character Ariel while making the case, which is a Disney-created name. Andersen named her simply "the youngest sister".

    I'm not disappointed in Disney for doing another cashgrab remake, just resigned. I did a rapid imagesearch, and it is obvious why Halle Bailey got the role. Aside from having a singing career already, there's one other advantage. Skin tone aside, she actually LOOKS a lot like Ariel. At least, that was my first thought after I did an image search. And let's be fair here. The first movie's Ariel was way too dark for someone who lives down in the water, away from the sun, under the sea. If they're not casting a legit albino, then whatever. ... But the casting of Sebastian will make or break the film, in my opinion. He's the key role as far as I'm concerned.

    Thanks for reminding me this happened. I'm rather fond of the original game (and not alone), looking forward to the remake's english release, and... well, I was curious about the anime version. Two episodes in and I quite like how they're handling it, though I really wish they had some better animation.

    When your children's toy line has more detail than your adult collectors' toy line, it is time to rethink your approach. (I think Siege goes overboard on the "teched-up" look in places, but the current MPs are just... ugh.)

    It was in Chile a few hours ago, looks like.

    Honestly, I assumed CBS was just counting on the guy realizing he couldn't afford to fight CBS and taking any offer they made, no mattter how patronizing(or disappearing before they made an offer, given they successsfully stalled him for almost an entire year beforehand).
  23. JB0
    I think my favorite part was: Judge: You guys need to stop filing generic requests for dismissal and start making specific legal arguments. Also, you are legally compelled to supply Mister Abdin's lawyers with any relevant information they ask for. CBS: Here's another generic request for dismissal, and we're ignoring Mister Abdin's lawyers. If we pretend you didn't say anything, it never happened. Though I must admit "We promise not to sue you for getting ripped off by us. BTW, we're on vacation so bye." was pretty special too.

    When are they remaking Zathura?

    Hydrogen-burning turbine, I think?
