    Okay, I have to ask: are these footraces in the traditional sense, or are the foot thrusters used? In short, do the GERWALKs run or skate?

    In the first episode, Pike uses the Guardian of Forever to prevent the spore drive's invention and stop Discovery from happening.

    Probably less than they paid him to PLAY a steaming pile in The Emoji Movie. ... I thought he had standards, but I was clearly mistaken.
  4. JB0
    Pretty much, yeah. ... TOP GUN RIPPED OFF MACROSS!

    Well no WONDER I had so much trouble!

    True story: When people ask me "Kirk or Picard?" I respond "Sisko."

    That's ironic, given Top Gun is mostly a human interest story. Heck, I'd say it is about a third romance story, dangerously close to "chick flick" territory. It is almost perfect in that regard, actually. It has a little bit of everything, but it all comes together naturally to combine romance, loss, personal growth, and really cool jets into a movie that everyone can enjoy. It is the chick flick that men can enjoy.

    That's modern Hollywood for you. Why do something original when you can recycle an old name instead? Even better if, once the name is secured, you make sure the movie has very little to do with the namesake.

    I am down for that.

    Hey, I only did that once! I needed some milk, and was learning as I went.

    That's awesome. And ridiculous.

    Pretty sure the budget didn't allow two off-the-shelf model kits. Star Trek was perpetually cash-strapped. But 1710 was definitely a better choice.

    I REALLY wish you UFO nuts would stop taking photos every time I fly home to visit the family. I don't take pictures of YOUR weirdo cars.

    It gets better/worse. Every successive JoJo seems dedicated to being more ridiculous than the last. Personally, I actually like how Johnathan's arc is all straight-laced and very serious while ALSO being over-the-top bananas. Later arcs just go for the bananas right from the start.

    Seems like the VB-6 was being fielded around the time of +. I'd guess that was what put ye olde Monster out to pasture. They were probably decomissioning the fixed-mode destroids as they took VB-6 deliveries... which I guess means that the big guys stayed in operation on the colony worlds and fleets for years and years. Doesn't look like the big guy saw any major upgrade aside from the mark 2, so it woulda been looking pretty dated. No hundreds-of-megawatts reactor means no energy-converting armor or beam cannons or rail guns were plausible, though they'd all be desirable updates. Just good ol'-fashioned explosive propellants and real armor plating(and shock absorbers like you ain't never seen).

    I'm sure the usual suspects will chime in with a more comprehensive answer, but I gather it was a case of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", followed by "If we're fixin' it, give it wings". Valks filled a lot of roles the other destroids were built for, but "transporting and firing guns larger than a Valkyrie" wasn't one they were capable of handling. Though I believe the Monster in Plus was retired, just because they don't usually blow up useful hardware.

    Probably. I blew up a bunch of V'gers in the Vectrex Star Trek game, but they didn't look much like the one in the movie.
  18. JB0
    Nope. Lots of close-ups, no full silhouette shot.

    For a brief period right around when it came out, there were about a dozen threads about "Hollywood ripped off Macross Plus" active at once, and it got KIND OF ridiculous. And then the decree came down that enough was enough, everyone knew, and we should shut up about it and find something else to be angry about. (Very rough paraphrase)
  20. JB0
    I like Stealth, and think the Macross Plus comparisons are overblown. But at least mentioning it isn't completely verbotten anymore.
  21. JB0
    I'm just surprised it isn't a white repaint of Prime v3, or a Megatron v3.
  22. JB0
    In fairness, they don't usually want to use more than names in the movie adaptations anyways. Better to attach familiar names to unrelated nonsense and then sell it as an adaptation of a beloved franchise. (I'm still a little surprised that Bay's "Optimus Prime" turned into a truck.)
  23. JB0
    A kind of ice cream, I think.
  24. JB0
    Haven't MOSPEADA fans suffered enough at HG's hands already? No one deserves Shadow Chronicles.

    Why not, Robotech's stolen from everyone else at this point, and the artists gotta trace something.
