  1. ok so i used lost number loosely. i realize that a lost number is accidental result that cant be replicated. at least, thats my take on it anyhow. not sure i understand the rest of the reproduction debates on the site. haha. just wanted to clarify that remark before it set off an alarm.
  2. heres a good example to set a template by if anyone is interested. A guyver's head beam can kill most normal zoanoids. and it couldnt pierce a concrete wall. as seen in the second manga... wait... i had it wrong, that was vamor's biolasers that melted the walls behind sho and tetsure in the second issue... i think second issue, definetly the first volumn.... heck, the first fight he had with vamor!! so ignore all i just said, my entire basis for a template just went out the window. as for balcus being a processed and non processed individual. alky was the general of the advents army... and someone had to coach dear old "venerable" Balcus on how to hot wire advent tech... so im willing to submit to the high council that alky has science skills. and tutored balcus to some extent. then balcus had to literally backwards engineer any advent tech he could find while maintaining the kronus organization, all while alky slept. one thing i do find interesting... as tora tan pointed out, heckering did help balcus with the zoalord processing... so i wonder. can existing zoaforms be upgraded like powered zerebubuth? like have all previous zoalords already been created and processed, but every few years they go in for a tune up and upgrade procedures. nothing to collaborate this theory, but we have seen some zoanoids get upgraded. powered z wasnt a lost number but he probably had a pretty simple upgrade. neo extole was upgraded to a lost number, but he also was pumped so full of everything that his body just couldnt handle it. so are zoalords also a lost number, but their zoacrystals keep them in good health? back to the topic, sorry i tend to ramble, what all normal weaponry have we seen be used against a zoanoid? i think all i remember pre xday, is a simple pistol and a grenade.
  3. focus group, demographic, target audience, what have you.
  4. is shonen ace going toward a more female focus group lately? i never paid attention to it before, but im seeing a trend now.
  5. also, in the first manga, a grenade damaged a gregore. a single grenade maynot be able to kill one, but ww2 had other larger explosives that would be more effective. not to mention the rocket launchers and the bazooka's that were already mentioned. and that makes me wonder, how effective would a ww2 flamethrower be against a zoanoid? a vamor has a beam of thermal energy as a weapon, and a flamethrower is also thermal energy, just not as hot or as elegant. i do believe it would give a ramotith nightmares cause of all that hair, lol.
  6. can you see if you can find that? cause i dont remember that part, and if its there, i must of missed some majorly important parts, and i no like being ill informed.
  7. so what about the zoalords? balcus was 400+ years old right? so the zoacrystal gives long life the zoalord, but i have to say its from processing. the tech wasnt human, it was of alien origin... so its ok to assume some zoaforming was undertook for a few centuries. perhaps not zoanoid level, but cloning and healing maybe?
  8. on a side note regarding a guyver's strength level versus what we seen, datafile has a guyver at 100x a gregole at 15x zerebubuth was 45x and a derzerb was 60x. ok we seen sho struggle with a gregole only once in the first issue. then dismembered the poor green giant. zerebubuth was another matter. he pretty much ignored any physical blow in the 12 ova episodes. it took a double rear mule kick to the back of zerebubuths head to penetrate his armor. now that said, it could just be the armor, but my question is, did zerebubuth catch a punch from guyver? and now there is derzerb. in the fight, he totally overpowered guyver. in the ova, when the unit was in control, the unit overpowered derzerb, again, it seemed to falter until the control medal shined and then he got stronger. then threw derzerb out a window. so in a normal situation fight, a 60x derzerb was stronger than a 100x guyver. is my math correct?
  9. plus malmot isnt at 7 tons. he is 7 times stronger than a normal person. gregole is 15 times stronger than a normal person. i think the data file for guyver in the vhs ova was what? 100 times a person? i honestly cant remember. guyver may of been physically weaker than gregore at first, at least he appeared to struggle for like... 10 seconds. but he has the gravity amps in the forearms and legs, that serve to anchor him and provide extra mass when making physical attacks (as i understand it). and by being anchored, he can actually exert more force than normal.
  10. i wasnt happy with it... but i am a die hard spidey fan so feel free to ignore my rantings. so im trying to get the spoiler tags to work anddddddd, im a little rusty. Tips on what i did wrong? so... SPOILERS BELOW <spoiler> ok so here goes. first of all, every time someone gets a symbiote, they are covered head to toe instantly, except in this movie. i can forgive this due to dramatic emphasis, wanting that slow-big reveal. but it felt painful waiting for venom to show itself. the symbiotes need to feed constantly. normally they feed off the host, hence the term, symbiote/parasite. in this movie they physically need to eat. i guess this is to explain the constant venom eating people in the comics ploy, but it was kinda sad here. and the part where Eddy dove into his trash can for leftover fish... no lie. made me gag. i did enjoy the back and forth between Venom and Eddy, even tho at times it was a little forced. and the symbiotes script sounded like it belonged in a micheal bay transformer movie. but how Eddy was portrayed... i honestly wondered if he was supposed to be drunk the entire movie... even after he had a handle on things, drunk. he just didnt act like Eddy from the comics, moody, grumpy, angry and classic tough loner guy... (i know, i know, its a movie not the comics, but gosh darnit. the comics made this movie possible so i will hold it to that standard) and then theres Cleatus Kassidy... when i heard that Woody Harrison was going to play him, i was optimistic... but then i saw him in the credit scene and NOPE! i literally had to fight myself from laughing to loud... that wig was so awful....i like Woody as an actor, but he just couldnt pull of a convincing Kassidy.</spoiler>
  11. yeah they did, it was x3, and also apocloypse. pretty much any televised or animated version now has that same story. but the actual movie is set for july 7, 2019. if thats what your asking. i think im confused... i was always under the impression that jean had low grade telekinesis and moderate telepathy while she was young. but as she matured, her power level grew pretty high. not xavier level but close, in both tk and telepath abilites. it wasnt until the cosmic entity pheonix entered her body and took her over did she become so greatly powerful. mind you im working off of 20 year old memories of comics and a cartoon from the 90s, but wasnt that the case?
  12. i never liked the idea of jean having the phoenix level power inside her all along. To me, it was always a much more thrilling plot to have the phoenix as a cosmic level entity that inhabits her... and Prof X himself is a grey area. in the comics, (after i quit reading xmen of course, they always do that!!) he and scott had a major falling out and xavier left the school. so i assumed he did something bad, or died, for scott to take over. and in the early early early comics, he actually had a thing for jean, which just grossed me out anyhow. i think everybody on the original team had a thing for her except beast!
  13. i'm bummed that they didnt go the spidey route, its hard to imagine venom with out spiderman. kinda the reason he went all killy and hateful. but that said, a part of me is eager to see how they intend to... bridge that gap in his origin story. so i am optimistically.... disappointed.
  14. honestly, i always assumed the guyverIIf was just a way to reuse the guyverIIf design from the "out of control" movie. as for sciencey excuses for the color canon, it could be a side effect of it being an artifical unit, having been pieced together and cloned from samples. Purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red. The color purple is often associated with royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. Purple also represents meanings of wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic.Jan 5, 2011 Meaning of The Color Purple | - Bourn Creative https://www.bourncreative.com/meaning-of-the-color-purple/ So from those listed, i can certainly see the Mystery, and independence pertain to Val. Same for power and ambition. but i never been too big on color meanings, sometimes a color is a color. but that could just be me.
  15. i love space ships. favorite has to be the xwing. all time fav. but there are so many more i love.
  16. i hope not... tho shin was freaking out about how neo extoles blaster temptest could wipe out the planet. i get the science behind it, i do, but im getting tired of cataclysmic powers everytime someone powers up. its like dbz in guyver. each show should stick to their strengths and gimmicks. dbz is the giant planet killing powerhouses. guyver is mutating monsters hunting down one guy. and cool armor.
  17. i would be interested in seeing the complete damage a gigantic could do when not holding back. i mean their complete upper limits.
  18. yeah, what the angry fan mob is doing to the actress who played Rose is simply criminal and makes fans in general look bad. azaar pretty much summed it up pretty well, tho i am a big fan of the leia mary poppins moment. my other main problem is some of the liberties they took just cause they thought it would look cool, or just couldnt bother to find a decent way around a problem. using the mon cal Raddus as a battering ram to distract and cover for the fleeing crew: awesome. making it a hyperspeed missile: awful. why not just put hyperdrives on all missles? sure itll be expensive, but ya know what? one missle will kill a ship, so who care? having fin know every top secret weapon or tech location, and he was just a janitor\stormtrooper. and that doesnt even make sense to me.... would a stormtrooper... would a soldier in todays world be a janitor? as punishment sure, but as a permanent job as well as being a elite shocktroop that may require constant conditioning to keep them in line?(Glad it wasnt clones, tho, i liked that part) again with the hyperspeed.... we need to board that ship, lets go under its sheilds by exiting hyperspace with pinpoint precision. not cool. i hated that in awakens, i hated it now. they are bending the rules of physics for a deus ex machina. you cant go to hyperspace in a gravity well, planets are a giant gravity well. and guess what? its a science fact that is so easily ignored, as early as season 1 of clone wars, to rebels, to the sequel movies. but its also a fact they choose to accept when introducing the interdictor cruisers as canon. in Rebels, the cruiser first showed up, and it pulls ships from hyperspace by creating a gravity well. absolutely no consistency. i really wanted to meet that slicer with the red flower. when maz first was talking about him, i could of bet my paycheck she was talking about lando (sure lando isnt a slicer, but the rest of the description fit, and hey he's retired, so maybe he got a new hobby) but that was never to be, cause we got that 2 timing greasy looking dude who stuttered. ugh i know im nitpicking, but if you want a character to have a querk or disability like stuttering, at least make sure it can be believable. i cringed whenever that guy tried it. it should of just been dropped from the script if the actor can do it convincingly, no harm done. i got more but im holding back, lol.
  19. he was smart, but i wouldnt call him thrawn trilogy smart. i do know that timothy zahn liked how they portrayed him in Rebels. so found this out, and i got real excited about it, then i realized its probably fake, but.... i read an article online(its online so it must be true) saying that a group of fans had started a crowdfund project to remake the last jedi. they stated they needed 200 million, and when i read it, it was only up for 2 days and had already garnered over 1 million in pledges. other sources says it has 13 million now, but after digging around, im having a hard time believing this to be true. it sounds too... too good to be true, almost like a nigerian scam.
  20. rebels isnt a bad show, i liked it better than clone wars, but i have no love for clone wars. heh. some may remember a particular rant i had some years back about that particular subject. anyways to answer your question, yeah its worth watching. it started off pretty strong, but tapered down to almost a kids feel type show near the middle, hondo came back which was pretty good, and then some cameos of movie characters and even them making Grand Admiral Thrawn canon was exciting. the season finale was ok, but maybe a bit of a let down for me personally. my main complaint was that i was hoping rebels would be more soldier and story arc biased, rather than jedi and force biased since jedi were all but extinct, and it became a jedi story pretty quick. i was hoping for a more rebel alliance centered story, focusing on the actual growth and spreading of the rebellion rather than just a small group of 6 individuals. the rebellion period is my favorite period, it was the one i grew up with, so thats why i enjoy movies like the original trilogy and rogue one and solo. and that darth maul fight with obiwan? they dont need to redo that on the big screen, if they do, im afraid they'll change it for awesomes sake. and that was a great scene.
  21. if you want to compare, we know the gigasmasher is stronger than Neoextole's bellysmasher. (sorry i cant remember its name) and the bellysmasher disintegrated Neoextoles body. and how much power would be needed to overload the quasiblack hole that mirabliis started? agito as gigantic dark fired his giga into the blackhole, stopping it cold.
  22. which is really sad, because I truly enjoyed solo. sure, there were things added to or changed from the Legends\Canon that we grew up with, but it didn't detract from the story, and honestly, i thought they were well done. solo was a decent movie, i'd give it a solid 75%. they kept enough original material in it for me to like it as it was. a good story origin for han solo, and tho some parts were iffy, it didnt take away from the movie. and yeah, salkafar, you werent alone in that assessment. but the boycott has done a lot of damage, tho they are not going to cancel anything just yet, kenobi and boba fett are said to may be restructured or redone. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/lucasfilm-licking-wounds-but-not-halting-star-wars-development-1122655
  23. when luke showed up at the end to "save everybody" i was estatic, tho a little upset. i was hoping he would come sweeping in, in his xwing and blow some crap up before going one on one with kylo. and when those gorilla walkers opened up i had to keep myself from screaming like a little school girl in the theater. then we find out it was just an illusion. i was disappointed. i do like the use of the force powers, im totally ok with him doing the illusion from across the galaxy(?). vader did say that the ability to blow up a planet is impressive, but insignificant when compared to the power of the force. but i really wanna see that. i want to see someone use the force in such a way that makes nuking a planet pale in comparison, but it has TO BE DONE RIGHT. it cant be just anybody, i wanna see a master to go all super sayain 20 and do cool stuff, but a MASTER. not some girl who repeats things and then can do whatever she wants. she totally neo matrix downloaded "i know kung fu" saber skills in awakens, but now she can pick up 30 plus rocks with little to no training? luke struggled with 5. this was lukes farewell film, possible he'll be back for the next movie as a force ghost, but this one here was the last luke is alive movie, so they could of at least made it favorable for luke, i mean really make him shine! he has 20 plus years to hone and master his control of the force, so he would of been freaking awesome going all out against an army! OR even a single person... but all they did was make him a grumpy old hermit that made a really dumb judgement call. "my dad was the most evil man in the universe, really lost in the darkside, and killer of millions and totally never struggled with doing bad or good things. i MUST save him!!!" "my nephew is a young impressionable kid who is struggling with his conscience about doing some bad things, he has a big bad guy whispering in his ear, so i'll sneak in his room while he sleeps and kill him. oops, i changed my mind. my bad" poor writing, and you know what, this movie was designed to ruin all expectations, the director didn't want the typical good guy wins story. he actually went on record saying that if half the audience loves the movie, and the other half hates the movie then he made a great movie. thats poor thinking!! he's purposely making a controversial movie wanting half to hate it! im a luke fan. can ya tell?
  24. thancrus is not some squishy character. dude got blindsided by a high freq blade from underground, there is no way to defend against that. and there hasn't been any zoanoids or hyperzoanoids that has been shown to resist a hfb anyhow. thancrus has been shown in the extras to be faster than the human eye can keep up with, assassinating a guy on stage, in the middle of a crowd, and on tv i think(that part is a little hazy). i always been a little annoyed at how underappreciated and especially how underused that guy is. i was hoping that thrancus would get a retelling like lisker did in the 2005 series, but alas, he got sliced and diced like always.
