Man, it's hard to discuss this movie without revealing any spoilers. Hahaha. I think the difference between Brand New Day and No Way Home is that No Way Home banks on the nostalgia factor. I mean you get three generations of Spiderman fans together, so it's obviously going to be a colossal hit. Whereas Brand New Day focuses solely on Tom Holland's Peter Parker, and returns to the roots of the Superhero Mythos that Stan Lee established that the Hero has to be tragic, and I liked how this aspect was explored in the movie. There were probably a lot more scenes left out in the cutting room floor, so I'm interested to seeing those deleted scenes, especially those mentioned about villains that were supposedly cut. Do you think we'll get a directors cut for this movie? That post credit scene though..... Hmm.....

So... Who has seen this? I'm upset that some random clip spoiled the final scene for me, lessening the emotional impact. Still a pretty good movie. I really like the action scenes and the relationship dynamics hits really hard. I really do want to watch it again.

Definitely something to look forward to this coming December. But before that, Spider-Man Brand new days comes first. Chris Evans looks different, I guess he's skinny now.

This is indeed a complete overhaul. Nice. Will have to get my bearings on how to navigate this newly updated portal.

The Gale Hound Guyvers 1 & 3 as well as the Stato Hound Guyver 2F looks very interesting. Looks like these will be up for sale starting December 2026 and January 2027. No date listed for the Guyver 2F. This seems to be a collaboration with the Titanomachia series, which is very interesting to me. Huh, you learn something new everyday.

The sad truth is that we are now all older and should have a lot more disposable income compared to decades ago, so should there be new interesting products we want, we can easily afford them. Unlike before where they market to younger demographics, they need critical mass to be profitable. Now, they can just issue limited edition merchandise and we all be like "shut up and take my money" 😄

Either that or they are just milking the franchise off of desperate fans like us looking for more. More merchandise does not necessarily mean more new material. If the story will continue, they will make a big announcement of it. This is more likely a strategy to sate fans appetite over the vacuum the manga left, and keep the brand alive. They are skating on thin ice relying on nostalgia to drive sales. The fans are getting older and it will dry out eventually if no new materials gets released to hook on newer, younger fans.

After a long wait, a new addition to my G-Gundam collection has arrived. Still contemplating how to display it...

With so many storylines telling how Dr. Doom wins (Secret War, Emperor Doom, One World Under Doom, etc...), one has to wonder which storyline they would focus on or borrow elements from. Most of the details points to 1985's Secret Wars (obviously), and there are even rumors of Cavill playing the Beyonder (is this even confirmed?). I just can't shake this feeling that Marvel will keep on releasing "leaked" information that is fake to troll everyone just for the sake of keeping its secrecy.

Teaser trailer so far looks good. I just hope they don't botch this up again.

So they're gonna keep releasing teaser trailers every week now? It goes without saying that I'm really looking forward to watching this on the big screen. It will be interesting to see how they mesh the different universes, as this movie is clearly a very big fan service to begin with, as with every MCU movie should be. I do hope they realize and understand what Deadpool & Wolverine did with choke full of references, and how those tiny but voluminous details propelled the movie to the top of the box office.

This is more likely a business decision on the part of Kadokawa rather than the author. Since there are figures being released for the Guyver, this copyright protects them from third parties developing unauthorized (pirated) versions of any merchandise they produce. Because if there is no copyright on the IP, you can be assured that a lot of 3rd party will profit from it. At least this way, even if 3rd parties develop any form of merchandise related to the IP, Kadokawa still profits from its licensing.

I loved Swat Kats! Too bad it ended too abruptly. Whatever happened to the kickstarter for the animated version?

Nope, nevermind. It's a firewall thing. Used an exit node and everything shows up. thanks for looking into it.

Yeah, all of the old posts with embedded youtube links are still visible to me. It's the newer posts that don't show up. Could this be a plug-in thing as I've never used any? When I hover the mouse over, It has this message saying "It looks like the webpage at https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/pLZ_za4a-88?feature=oembed might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address."
