  1. The subs were accurate enough, somethings just can't be translated directly, but these got the point across and weren't completely off. That being said, sometimes even Chinese people need subtitles when it comes to people from Beijing.
  2. Just watched it and it was ok, liked the first one better. Nice visuals, liked the designs of the kaiju and the new jaegers, and the main characters were more or less likable. Cool that Boyega got to keep is accent and separate his character from Finn. Someone asked about Scott Eastwood earlier, his acting didn't make me cringe compared to whats-his-face from the first movie. I was expecting to hate his character, but I didn't, so I guess Mr. Eastwood did an ok job. Some parts kind of nagged at me though. The film had an Independence Day 2, Resurgence feel to it in that I found it pandered to China a bit too much. I'm Chinese and I couldn't even stand it. Took me right out of the movie and found it distracting, despite understanding all of it without subtitles. Some cool Easter eggs and nods to a certain anime (not Macross, sorry guys). Some of the supporting cast was a bit youngish for my liking. They weren't super annoying, but I felt it kind of kiddified the film compared to the first one. I guess maybe they're new target audience (along with all of mainland China). I saw it for free, and felt like I didn't waste my time entirely. Would I pay to watch it? Probably not. Would I watch it again for free on Netflix? Maybe.
  3. They look......off....like their heads are squished down.....no necks or something?
  4. I thought it was two chicks at first and thought sweet, they can still save this.
  5. This thread is too awesome to disappear. Macross the First got me thinking how awesome Robotech Titan is. I mean, come on: Versus
  6. This is sort of new for me, a comic series cancelled part way through only to be started again in a "reboot" sort of way. I collected however many volumes of Mac the First, even have a couple of dupes because I sort of forgot which ones I'd bought. Nice art work and fairly inexpensive so it's not a problem to start again, but as Yoda once asked, will he finish what he begins?
  7. Maybe there will be a quip about Star Wars or Obi Wan.
  8. Yeah, that was pretty bad. I think the other guy actually studied some sort of Korean martial art after the first film.

    Hi-Metal R

    That SDF-1 in the background still blows my mind.
  10. Ryuji should get into the business of making action figures:
  11. "I see your defeat. Many arms surrounding you in a cold embrace"
  12. I guess we're not doing spoilers? Lol, well, I avoided this thread until I watched the finale, hope others have done the same The one you hope to be alive is confirmed to be alive by Dave Filoni. He left them alive because the direction they want to take with these characters is uncertain and he didn't want to seal the deal with them yet. I liked the ending as well, though I felt that the season could have been just a bit longer. As for the interracial breeding, I'm trying to figure out when they shagged. I guess their first on screen kiss wasn't their first kiss?
