  1. Episode 91 Summery. At the Omni-Kings’ palace, the two Omi-Kings are playing a strange version of rock-paper-scissors where they hit each other with hammers, but they soon grow tired of this. To entertain them, the Great Priest gives them an update on how the various universes are preparing for the tournament. They are happy to hear that in Universe 7 Goku has successfully assembled a team of ten fighters.At that moment, Goku and most of his team members are holding a strategy meeting with Beerus and the rest of the U7 top gods, while Vegeta has flown off to Dende’s temple to use the Room of Spirit and Time. Popo kindly asks him not to break the room again (as he did last time), but Vegeta is noncommittal. Stepping inside, he vows to defeat Goku and be the last one standing at the tournament.At the meeting, Elder Kaioshin suggests using his ability to draw out Goku’s potential (as he did with Gohan before), but sadly that ritual takes over 24 hours, so they no longer have enough time. Instead, Goku decides to train with Whis until the tournament. Seeing Goku makes the Omni-Kings want to hold the tournament right away, but the Great Priest insists they stick to the predetermined time. After all, the Great Priest explains, not all the universes’ team-gathering efforts are going so well. For instance, U9 is having a tough time: word has gotten out about their universe’s potential destruction, causing hoodlums to run wild and attempt to flee to other universes. Sidra (U9’s God of Destruction) destroys these hoodlums and decides to look for contestants on some other planet. So far they still haven’t managed to gather anyone besides Trio de Dangers…In U6, Hit tracks down Frost, who’s on the run from the law and slumped over in an alley somewhere. Assuming Hit has come to kill him, Frost at first seems to accept his fate, but this is a bluff to catch Hit off-guard. While Hit blocks the attack, he can tell Frost has improved; being on the run seems to have toughened him up. Hit explains that U6’s God of Destruction has sent him to recruit Frost, and tells Frost about the upcoming tournament. If Frost refuses to enter, Hit vows to kill him on the spot. Frost is happy to enter, but is annoyed to hear he won’t be allowed to use his poison needles. If he cheats and gets caught, he’ll be annihilated!On Earth, Yamcha watches TV at home, bored and waiting for the tournament invitation he’s sure is coming. Muten Roshi and Oolong stop by, but they have business with Puar rather than Yamcha. To prepare for the tournament, Roshi is determined to conquer his one weakness: his dirty-mindedness. To that end, he wants Puar to turn into a hot babe so he can learn to control himself.Yamcha thinks this plan is hopeless, but gets Puar to cooperate (Oolong himself has already refused, having been traumatized when Roshi puff-puff’d him way back in the day). While Roshi chases the transformed Puar around, Yamcha asks Oolong if he’s ever going to get invited to the tournament. Oolong reassures Yamcha that he will…probably.While Goku and Whis train in the gravity chamber, in Universe 11 Toppo and Dyspo wait at a fancy restaurant for their comrade Khaseral to arrive. They call him, but he’s preoccupied saving a cat for some kids. Back at the palace, the Great Priest explains to the Omni-Kings how Toppo and his friends are not merely strong, but all good people as well. Still, the Great Priest continues, while U11 has a good chance of winning the tournament, its counterpart U2 is interesting as well... Right then, a martial arts tournament is being held in U2 to select the U2 “idol warrior”. A slim, green-haired girl lines up for the tournament, and some other ladies in line harass her: did she think this was merely an idol audition? But the girl, Briandchateau, quickly transforms into a pink, chubby warrior known as Ribrian, who proceeds to blow her opponents up with her “Pretty Cannon” attack.In U10, Kuru (the U10 angel) has their ten warriors dance together in order to improve their team bonds. Off on the side, Gowasu tapes the event, which he’s sure will get plenty of views (presumably on GodTube). The U10 warriors’ dance has the Omni-Kings excited, but the Great Priest notes that there’s trouble brewing in U7…Back on Earth, Goku cools off after his training while Gohan and Shin consider strategy. Gohan thinks they should stick to the center of the arena to avoid ring-outs, but Shin figures everyone else will try the same thing, turning the center into a fierce battlefield. Suddenly Bulma comes in with news from Mr. Satan: it seems that Buu has fallen asleep, and won’t wake up again for two months!Shocked, Goku decides to go try and wake Buu up. Beerus insists on coming along too, to give Buu a good pounding. Beerus is plenty ticked off at Buu, first for failing the written test during Champa’s tournament, and now this (not to mention the infamous “pudding incident”). But while Beerus stews, Goku has already left…Only four hours and ten minutes remain until the Tournament of Power!
  2. Ok so with the Friday the 13th game coming out next week I'd like to talk a little bit the worlds most recognizable slasher Jason Voorhees. I'll be looking at each of his movies designs as well as giving my own interpretation of his history. I should note that I will be skimming over some of the actual movie plots as a whole since this is more of a look at Jason's character, his designs and filling in some of the continuity gapes...were possible. As most of you know Jason Voorhees is a seemingly immortal murderer who haunts the area around Crystal Lake. Jason was born on June 13, 1946 to Elias and Pamela Voorhees. At birth Jason was heavily deformed and mentally stunted, howver his mother clearly loved him deeply. Nothing official is know about Elias Vorhees, however most comic adaptions have depicted the man as being wicked and abusive to both Pamela and Jason. These adaptions also often dictate Elias meeting his end at the hands of Pamela for hurting Jason. What Jason was like as a child is not fully known. According to Pamela, Jason was a sweet and innocent boy and many of the movies and extra marital seem to support this idea. A few comics depict Jason as being very disturbed and show him killing animals however these acts seem very out of character because as an adult, Jason seems to have a very warped moral code and dose not kill animals unless forced or children under the age of 10. Interestingly enough some of comics and novels do suggest that Jason did have some form of healing factor, "He healed fast" as Pamela would put it. In the summer of 1957, Pamela, unable to get a babysitter for Jason, resorted to bringing him to Camp Crystal Lake where she worked as a cook. Unfortunately Jason's deformities and mental state made him a very easy target for bullying by other children. While being bullied by the other campers, Jason attempted to escape from his tormentors, but the cruel children caught up to him on the dock and threw Jason into the lake where he drowned. The counselors were supposed to be watching the children, but instead were talking and having sex in the woods. Though Jason's body was never found, the camp closed as a result, but reopened the next summer. This event drove Pamela insane with sorrow and rage. As far as we know Pamela only ever returned to crystal lake three times after her sons "death". On the first two occasions in 1958 and 1962, Pamela's visits were short and secret, committing one double homicide, poisoning the camp water supply and setting some of the cabins on fire. One her third and final visit in 1979, Pamela when on a killing spree murdering most of the camp counselors until she was decapitated by the sole survive, Alice Hardy. There a lot of speculations as to what happend to Jason during this time. Many thing that he resurrected as an undead revenant from the get go and other believe that he was resurrected by Pamela using the Necronomicon, the book of the dead from the Evil Dead franchise. However I do not superscribe to ether theory myself, or at least no in full, but we will cover this latter. My theory is that Jason did survive his drowning but not unharmed. That even would likely have caused a large amount of brain damage due to lack of oxygen. For a normal person they would have died or bin left with permanent brain damage but Jason, thanks to his healing factor survived. However it likely took some time for his brain to heal and so for a time he was either dormant and /or lived in the woods for a while like an animal with fractured memories of his passed. He would have kept away from other people because he feared them. When is brain did fully heal its possible that Jason chose to stay at crystal lake and wait for his mother to find him, she would have been the one to take him home after summer camp and Jason, being a good boy waited for her. As time passed he would learn to live of the land and build a ramshackle home for himself. However even then he kept away from others out of fear. In 1979 Jason would have been 33 years of age. But everything changed when Jason finally found his mother and saw her death. Original Jason Jason original look was very different from his more well known one. The thing most notice right away is the fact that in place of his classic hocky mask, Jason is sporting a dirty, burlap sack with an eye hole cut out and held in place by a not of rope. This combined with his rather fetching blue overalls makes Jason looks very much like a stereotypical, killer hillbilly found in many, many slasher and horror films. This is not the only thing different about him, this Jason is a far more stealthy killer and displays some genuine fear when being attacked (lets be fair if someone was charging at you with a chainsaw, killer or not I think you'd be at least a bit worried) making his a far cry from the unstoppable juggernaut of legend. There are some hints of modern Jason under it all though. First and foremost, he's completely silent with his only real signs of emotion come from his body language. He's also almost supernaturally stealthy and pretty strong....although not super, knock your head off in one punch, strong. But the biggest similarity to his future self is his almost artistic ability to murder people with literally anything lying around. Machete, Pick Axe, Ice Pick, Barbed Wire, Knife or a Spear, Jason aint fussed as they all get the job done. Underneath the sack is probably the most realistic (and one of the more scary) interpretations of his face. What makes it work is that its not to over the top, it's very realistic and you can honestly believe there is some poor soul out their with a face like this. The Sack is in someways better then the hockey mask, while not as iconic (and clearly a ripoff of the Phantom Killer from The Town That Dreaded Sundown) it hides much more of his faces and gives him a far more creepy look. Jason is defeated at the end of Part 2 by being sliced deep into his shoulder with his own Machete. However this is also when Jason first displays his healing factor on screen as he not only survived the wound but also fully recovers from it.
  3. This is very true, it's the real problem all prequales must get passed. Can they make us care about a story despite the fact we know the protagonists will fail? As always we will see. In the Dark Crystals defence, it has a good shot. Despite being just one film, there is a ton of history to it. Most of which is barely hinted at. The story of the film feels like the last chapter to a tale we barely know. There has already been a prequel comic series as well as a manga one. From what I can't tell this series will not interfere with their narratives. Also I found out that the scripted for the cancelled Dark Crystal 2 film will be turned into a comic later this year. so if they do a good job it will feel more like just looking into a part of the story we had not seen yet rather then a pointless narrative.
  4. Netflix is developing a prequel series to Jim Henson's 1982 fantasy film, The Dark Crystal. Titled The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, this 10-episode prequel series takes place many years before the film and follows the story of three Gelfling who, after discovering the horrifying secret behind the Skeksis’ power, set out on a journey to save the world of Thra. The show will feature creatures created by Brian Froud, the original film's creature designer, and Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
  5. But this not Hero vs Hero. Not counting the reformed assassin, demons, space pirate and killer cyborgs on his team, Buu is going to be unable to participate and the first person Goku thinks of to replace him is Frieza! Yes this mass murderer, who destroys worlds on a whim and torturous people to death for fun, is really going to be a part of the Universe 7 team. Universe 6 has Frost, Frieza's counterpart who starts wars with his space pirate gang, swoops in to act the hero and the buys up all the cheap land from the war ravaged people and became the Emperor of known space. No only that, this rat basterds also uses hidden poisons, some of which can kill people. Then they have Hit, a legendary assassin who's over 1000 years old. This guy is a professional killer who likely has a body count that any slasher villain would envy. Universe 9 has the Trio De Dangers who are clearly total scum bags. None of them show the slightest hint of consideration for the well being of others lives, one cheats by using drugs to power up and another uses poison that rots his opponents body and would have killed Gohan. Universe 4 has suicide bomber type warrior. Their are some really nasty pieces of work in this tournament and thats why its beyond good an evil, because only the best warriors are picked regardless of which way their moral compass points. Each universe is doing anything and everything they can to win and its lucky the tournament has "no killing" as a rule otherwise this would be a blood bath. Hell nothing in the rules says they cant maim each-other so it could get nasty anyway since you can only win by Ring Out. We have already crossed a pretty big moral horizen when some of these Universes start bringing guys like this into the fight. Hell the only good one so far is my Universe 11 since its Pride Troopers are all heroes. The irony of which in not lost on me, the main Universe is 7 and they have Frieza...as an audience we are cheering for Frieza to win over a team of dedicated heroes! Edit: Its also worth noting U9 brought the Trio De Dangers befor they knew about universal destruction. Edit 2: In fact U6 is going one immoral step further by throwing Kale, a timid and shy saiyan, into this battle and the mental stress will turn her into a insane berserker.
  6. I call it that because as far as the universes are concerned it is. Regardless of how it started, they must fight for survival, do or die, kill or be killed. Be the situation natural or artificial the rules are the same. There is no parody. It's just made horrible by the fact that its being played out by intelligent beings who have had it forced upon them by an uncaring God....but aside from a few "intelligent rules"....really its just the law of the jungle, regardless of how it starts. It would be a parody or a mockery if this were about power alone, but this is also about team work, intelligence and abilities. For it is not the strongest who will win but the fittest. For Zen-Oh this is a game, for us a sick game.....but for those who must fight what is it other then Darwinian Law? Edit: It may be cold hearted of me to think of it that way but thats what this boils down to for the fighters. They are in a fight beyond good and evil, were the morality we cherish has no foot hold, this is the fight for survival.
  7. As cold as it may sound...its a victory because your universe is the last one standing. Its in the arcs title, Universe Survival. Its not a heroic event of good vs evil and its not a tournament for titles and fame. This fight is based around the oldest battle that has ever existed, the only one that ever truly matters when you cut away all superfluous morality humans like to place over nature and the universe as a whole. The Fight for Survival. While we have morally good and bad beings here, that has very little bearing on this tournament, its just about who's fittest for survival. Which universe breed the warriors with the greatest power, abilities, intellect and team work to insure its continued existence. Its Darwinian Law at its most complex and yet simultaneously also its simplest.
  8. Episode 90 Out in the wasteland, Piccolo finishes training Gohan. Now Gohan must test out his power…and Piccolo knows just the person for that. Elsewhere, Goku, Tenshinhan, Chiaotzu, and Muten Roshi are eating at a restaurant. Tenshinhan wonders what they’ll do with the remaining time before the tournament, and Roshi offers to teach a few of his techniques. But just then, Piccolo and Gohan walk in, and Gohan requests a sparring match against Goku and Tenshinhan.Back out in the wasteland again, the group selects a suitable spot to serve as their ring. It will be a 2-on-2 match: Goku and Tenshinhan vs Gohan and Piccolo. Falling out of the ring means a loss, and since this shall be a battle royale, they should focus on teamwork. Tenshinhan warns Goku to remember that this is a practice match: he should be careful not to hurt anyone! But Goku thinks they might be the ones who should worry about getting hurt…The match begins, and Goku and Gohan (both still in “base” form) rush at each other and trade blows, while Piccolo begins charging up an attack. Tenshinhan aims his Kikoho at Gohan, but Goku tells him to focus instead on Piccolo, who’s still charging. However, Gohan steps in and prevents Tenshinhan from successfully attacking Piccolo, and Piccolo now unleashes a powerful energy wave from out of his entire body (similar to what he used against Goku back at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budokai). Goku manages to tough out the big blast, and while Gohan rushes in for a follow-up attack, Goku blocks this too. He compliments Gohan and Piccolo on their wonderful combination, saying that Gohan has managed to get back his knack for fighting. Tenshinhan notes that the mountain they’ve been using as an arena has been blown to smithereens, so the match is over. However, Gohan insists on fighting another match, this time 1-on-1 against Goku. Though Tenshinhan thinks this would be pointless, Goku readily agrees.Over in Universe 10, Gowasu is fretting over which warriors he should select to fight in the tournament. What factors should he consider when making his choice? He doesn’t want to mess up and pick someone like Zamasu again! Ramoosh (the U10 God of Destruction) and his angle Kusu stop by. Ramoosh tells Gowasu he’s overthinking things: rather than using his head, he should decide with his body!To that end, Ramoosh and Kusu have brought along ten warriors Ramoosh has already selected. Their leader, Murichim, introduces himself, but he and his fellow fighters soon need to take a time out to drink their protein drinks. They must do this regularly to build up their beefy bodies! Ramoosh thinks he can depend on this group, but Gowasu doesn’t seem quite so certain.Back on Earth, Goku and Gohan take Senzu and power up to begin their match. Tenshinhan thinks this is a waste of Senzu, but even he now wants to see how these two Saiyans square off. Gohan says he is now at his full power, though Goku notes he’s not a Super Saiyan. Gohan confirms that he is aiming for an “ultimate form” never seen before, and that he is going about it in a different way than Goku. Goku is impressed: he figured fighting warriors from other universes would make for the best training, but he forgot he had Gohan there the whole time! The two begin sparring (with Goku remaining in what looks like his Super Saiyan 2 form): first they trade blows, then a barrage of ki blasts, before at last firing off two Kamehamehas at each other. Their battle shakes the ground, and even Vegeta and co. off in West City can tell something’s up. Though Gohan more than holds his own, he remains unsatisfied, and asks Goku to fight with his full power. Goku agrees, and first powers up into his Super Saiyan Blue form, then uses Kaio-Ken to boot.The two clash and when the dust clears, Gohan collapses, though not before vainly trying to get in one final attack. Goku catches Gohan before he hits the ground, saying that they will go forward together. Later after Gohan regains consciousness, he thanks Goku and apologizes to Tenshinhan for the trouble. Goku announces that he’s selected Gohan to be the U7 team leader.Only four and a half hours left until the Tournament of Power!
  9. Thats entirely my point wit that statement. At its core this film's tone is the same as Prometheus however there is a much stronger Alien vibe to this film which gives it that colder feel you describe.
  10. Ok I've seen the film. I'm going to give you my score and none spoiler review. Score 10/10 To give this review I think it best to do it in comparison to Prometheus since its what most will judge this film against. Over all Covenant makes far superior use of its run time then Prometheus did. While both had grand ideas and scope, Covenant dose not loose itself in them while Prometheus often allowed its themes to take the for front at the expense of the films narrative. Covenant is a story first and for most. Unlike Prometheus no shots or scenes feel wasted and the over all narrative flows much more smoothly. Also Covenant dose not have that sense missing story elements that it's predecessor did. However the story can be a bit fast paced and hectic in places. We spend a far greater amount of time getting to know the characters and they seem for more realistic then their Prometheus counter parts. While not on pare with Alien and even Alien 3, Covenant allows us to get to know caste enough that you know most of them by sight and see them a people much like Aliens....and like Aliens your not going to get so know some of the caste as well as others if at all. All of the actors provide great or at least suitable performances with no real stand out weak points or contradictions. The real show stealer is once again Michael Fassbender, who's performance here eclipses his one in Prometheus. The special effects for the film are easily equal and maybe a bit superior to those in Prometheus. I'm not a great judge of CGI but I personally didn't see any-problems. The creatures of the film are truly amazing, beautiful and terrifying. This film explores a number of aspects to them, not just the one everyone's thinking of when they walk in. The music is fantastic blend of both Alien and Prometheus's scores with some of its new music of its on. For an over all tone Covenant has the most kinship with Prometheus however it also clearly displays its connection to Alien. In terms of spirit this film is very much in-keeping with the Alien franchise On the whole this is a vast improvement over its predecessor and and a very welcome step in the right direction for the franchise. It easily stands alongside Alien, Aliens and Alien 3 for me and while it dose not fix Prometheus's flaws, Covenant gives Prometheus's ideas more value and allows them to be continued and developed in a superior film. Because of this Prometheus can now be a solid part of the franchise to,
  11. I'm seeing the film tonight. I post a none spoiler review here when I get home.
  12. Ok people this is THE BIG ONE. We got confirmation about some upcoming episode titles and..... 92 - Emergency! We dont have all 10 members!!! 93 - Your are the 10th Warrior! Goku visits Frieza!! So yeah Frieza is back!!!! And he is here to save the universe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. News: Kamacuras has made the cut to!
  14. Episode 89 Goku visits Kame House to try and recruit the Turtle Hermit, but Oolong informs him that Muten Roshi’s off visiting Tenshinhan. It turns out that Tenshinhan has a dojo now, with lots of students, and Roshi has been invited over as an honorary teacher. Right at that moment, Tenshinhan is instructing his students in how to concentrate their ki, though his students have a hard time with this until Tenshinhan performs an example himself. Off on the side, Roshi is dismayed that all the students are men.As luck would have it, outside a young woman approaches the dojo. Reading the “Tenshin Dojo” sign (with some difficulty), she’s delighted to have finally found that “three-eyed bald guy”. Chiaotzu escorts her in, and she introduces herself as “Yurin”. Though she claims to have no prior martial arts experience, she wants to start training because she hears it’s good for one’s appearance. Tenshinhan tells her to go train somewhere else, since his dojo is only for serious martial artists, but Roshi is more than happy to give her some lessons…He takes her off to another room, though Yurin seems dead-set on Tenshinhan.Goku arrives at the dojo, and Tenshinhan dismisses his students for the day so that they can chat (they haven’t seen each other since the match against Universe 6). Goku is impressed that Tenshinhan has so many students, though Tenshinhan downplays it. Still, Goku can tell Tenshinhan has kept up his training, and wants to recruit him and Roshi for the Tournament of Power.Elsewhere, Roshi has gotten Yurin into a martial arts uniform…which just so happens to feature a mini-skirt. Yurin has already got Roshi sized up as just a dirty old man, but suddenly he starts talking about removing her “evil heart” and before long is chasing her around. Yurin pretends not to know what he means, but secretly wonders if he’s somehow found out her “true objective”. Having ditched Roshi for the time being, she pulls out a paper talisman…Back with Tenshinhan and Goku, Tenshinhan politely declines Goku’s offer. Though entering the tournament might serve as good training, he can’t leave his students behind, and he’s not interested in the prize money. Goku’s upset that now he won’t be able to get 10 fighters, but their conversation is interrupted by one of Tenshinhan’s students banging on the door. Some of the other students are rampaging through town!Off in Universe 6, Cabba has come to Caulifla’s hideout. There he tries to recruit her for the tournament, surrounded by Caulifla’s various underlings (mostly thuggish men, as well as one meek-looking woman). At first Caulifla flatly refuses, but Cabba persists and shows off his Super Saiyan form. He offers to teach her the transformation if she’s curious, and notes how Caulifla’s older brother Renso thought she had great potential. Though she continues to belittle Cabba, her interest has been piqued.Back on Earth, Tenshinhan’s students have been taken over by some type of sorcery, signified by the talismans affixed to their foreheads, turning them into mindless rampaging zombies. Though Chiaotzu tries to remove these talismans with his physic powers, it’s no use. Yurin rejoices: all this hubbub will ruin the reputation of Tenshinhan’s dojo!It turns out Yurin is the mastermind behind all this. She reveals how she with Tenshinhan at the Crane School dojo back in the day, though he would always ignore her. So she vowed to get revenge and has been training ever since, even learning sorcery along the way. Now that she’s found him again, it’s finally time to get even.Figuring that Tenshinhan isn’t used to handling women, Roshi opts to take Yurin on himself while the others work on removing the talismans from the students (apparently they can be peeled off by hand). While Yurin is no match for Roshi, he gets distracted when she falls over and exposes herself. Yurin uses this opening to stick a talisman on his head, taking control of him.Tenshinhan takes on the possessed Roshi but has trouble, so he uses his old Shiyo-Ken technique to grow two extra arms. Roshi counters with a blast of lightning (probably his old Bankoku-Bikkuri-Sho technique) and a Kamehameha. Goku steps in to save Tenshinhan, and takes over the fight.On the sidelines, Yurin is still performing her magic spells and hand gestures to keep Roshi under control. Goku is impressed with Roshi’s ki, and thinks the old man has been hiding his true power. He must have been undergoing incredible training in secret! Though Goku wants to fight more, he doesn’t have much time to waste, so he fires off a Kamehameha while Chiaotzu uses his powers to stop Yurin from performing her magic hand gestures.The Kamehameha hits Roshi dead-on, and his talisman disintegrates. Though defeated, Yurin vows to continue training and grow even stronger, so Tenshinhan offers to let her train at his dojo. Though her motives aren’t the best, he’s impressed with her determination. First though, he has her apologize to the villagers. Tenshinhan now says he will enter the tournament after all. That way, he can use the prize money to repair the damage his students caused to the village. Goku is delighted to finally have all ten team members assembled. Only eight hours left until the Tournament of Power!
  15. Ok some new characters are here and they are saiyan females! Caulifla - A punkish, bad girl with genius battle sense. She is the younger sister of Cabba's old squad leader and very unlike most U6 saiyans. Kale - A very shy and meek individual even by U6 saiyan standerds, she is always getting told off by Cabba for her timidity. However within this women sleeps the rage and power of a legend. We also got some info on a U4 fighter. Damon the Suicide Bombing, Cicada Man!!!!
  16. For the why I think its something to do with the delivery system. Animal life infected by Chemical A0-3959X.91 – 15 (the black goo) undergo a mutation and life-cycle that mirrors that of the xenomorphs, all be it virally induced and less efficient. Going by what we see with humans, the local populace becomes infected, Males become more sexually active and over time either die from the mutation or change in to a berserker "combat" form and try to kill everything around them, while we dont know what would happen to an infected female, impregnated ones become hosts for creatures that mirror the Facehugger, the Trilobite and I also believe the Hammerpede for the worms although thats pure speculation on my part. These creatures then seek to infect another host to spawn a more dangerous "Combat" organism. This processes if very messy and unstable but the first stage offspring do have an identical deliverable system to the xenomorphs, they implant embryos directly into the hosts chest cavity via the mouth. However these "Neomorphs" began life as plant spores. Its possible that plants cannot replicate the same life-cycle or have mutated and developed a new one. Either way these spores are a completely different delivery system, being absorbed through through orifices such as the ear, mouth and such. Because of this the spores do not a set location from which to grow, they are not placed anywhere and travel around the body until they find a suitable location and start to grow. There is evidence for this as there is an image of another Neomorph birthing from....
  17. Ok Big Spoilers - The Neomorph Revealed!
  18. Episode 88 Gohan and Piccolo spar out in the wilderness. It turns out that right after the Omni-King’s exhibition match wrapped up, Goku visited Piccolo and explained the situation to him (including the danger of their universe being destroyed, and how Gohan fared in his match). Though Goku thinks Gohan fought well, he’s still not as strong as he used to be. Piccolo readily agrees to enter the tournament, and also vows to train Gohan to get the hang of fighting once again. For this purpose, he takes two Senzu from Goku, to save until the very end of their training. Gohan is determined to get stronger, and is ready for anything Piccolo throws at him. They spar, with Gohan turning Super Saiyan.Meanwhile at Capsule Corporation, Trunks struggles to change Bra’s diaper, while Bulma brags about her newborn baby to some friend over the phone. Vegeta steps in to help Trunks, impressing both Trunks and Goten with his diaper-changing skills. Off on the side, Beerus can’t stand to see everyone so relaxed when their entire universe risks being destroyed…but if he told them now, Bulma would chew him out. He decides it would be best not to say anything.Kuririn returns home from work, and starts sparring with No.18 (which confuses their neighbors, who don’t understand why the couple fights all the time). No.18 wins their match, and Kuririn asks her to hold back a little. No.18 promises to use the prize money to buy Marron whatever she wants, though Kuririn had wanted a new training machine (maybe next time).Piccolo and Gohan continue to train, but despite his enthusiasm, Gohan keeps getting knocked around by Piccolo. At this rate, he’ll never return to his old level of strength, let alone surpass it. Gohan can't stand it: he won’t be able to protect Videl and the others others like this! Piccolo notes that while a desire to protect others can be a source of strength, if it’s too strong, it might instead merely hold Gohan back. If Gohan is too focused on winning to think clearly, he might misjudge his opponents’ strength. Still, Piccolo is confident that with Gohan on their team, they can win. So Gohan should be confident!Off in Universe 6, Cabba pilots his spaceship and reflects on the upcoming tournament. Hit may be strong, but there’s no guarantee he can win against 70 opponents in a battle royale, meaning that the key is selecting the right people to fill out the rest of their team. In which case, there’s only one man for the job!Cabba lands on a planet and knocks on the door of a small house. Inside is Renso, the former captain of the Planet Sadala Defense Squad. He trained Cabba back in the day, and now hears all about Cabba’s exploits as the Defense Squad’s ace member. Cabba shows off his Super Saiyan form to Renso, who is suitably impressed.Cabba breaks the news about the tournament, and begs Renso to enter. However, Renso points out he has long since retired from the Defense Squad. He now has a bad leg, and can’t put out the same power as before. While Cabba insists that Renso’s battle experience should be useful in a battle royale situation, Renso instead suggests Cabba bring Renso’s younger sister, Cauliflowa. Cabba knows Cauliflowa, though he apparently has trouble dealing with her. Renso gives his assurance that though Cauliflowa may seem like just a thug, her potential is far greater potential than his own.Back on Earth, Piccolo tells Gohan that they’ve done enough warming up: now they fight for real. Piccolo says that while Gohan is strong, he has a weakness he must overcome if they are to win this tournament. He stretches his arms and wraps them around Gohan, threatening to strangle him to death. Gohan is surprised at Piccolo’s strength, but Piccolo says he hasn’t just been sitting around while Gohan’s been off studying.Unable to break free from Piccolo’s stranglehold, Gohan reverts from Super Saiyan to his regular form. He’s lost the sparring match. Piccolo explains that despite his strength, Gohan lacks the warrior mentality. For instance, when he fought Buu after Elder Kaioshin powered him up, he got too ****y and was caught off-guard. Gohan needs to fight with his full power, no matter who he’s up against.Gohan powers up into Super Saiyan once more, but Piccolo knows Super Saiyan isn’t his full power. He tells Gohan to awaken his true self, the power he had when he fought Buu! Gohan continues powering up and reaches his “Ultimate Gohan” form, vowing to no longer hold back. They begin sparring again, with Piccolo producing countless doppelgangers,Gohan ploughs through the doppelgangers and karate chops Piccolo’s arm off. It looks like he’s won…but another doppelganger blasts him in the back. It’s just like with Buu: once Gohan thinks he’s got the fight in the bag, he drops his guard. It’s a bad habit he probably inherited from his father. He’s got to avoid that at the tournament!Gohan thanks Piccolo for his training and advice, but Piccolo insists that they continue. He still thinks Gohan has room to improve, and wants to see how much stronger he can get in the time remaining before the tournament. Gohan’s up for it, and even suggests they work on some combo attacks for the tournament.Only nine and a half hours remain until the Tournament of Power!
  19. North Korea has been a shining example of a modern dictatorship for years. Its rulers have abused there power with reckless abandon in the form of purges, executions and many other atrocities against humanity. They have also proven themselves to be very ditached from reality and/or down right psychopathic. This a problem that's been brewing for a long time and its shocking that this situation was ever allowed to get this far.
  20. Thats a very....deep question. I would have to say yes and no. I've said before that some of my life has not been exactly...easy. Not the hardest of lives mind you, there are people in this world who suffer true hell but there are things I've lived through that have spawned true rage and hate in my heart. If you asked me to describe it I would quot One Piece's Akainu " Your fire, but my Magma can burn even fire". Many people, especially those with tempers that I know, describe their anger like a fire that burns out of control. My rage sites in my heart like magma in a volcano building until the pressure cannot be contained. I was , and to a degree still am, an indifferent sort of person and that was my defense against world when I was younger. No matter what happened I could retreat from reality to a place withing myself, cold and detached, and would be able to let my rational mind deal with it all. But that didn't make how I felt go away, it just buried them deep inside. I would take all the world could throw at me until I exploded. To give you an idea of some of the stuff I went through, how my detached helped in its way and were some the rage comes form. I was once accessed at a young age for Dyslexia and person who saw me stated it was a miracle I was not insane due to the very cruel treatment I suffered at the hands of both children and teachers at my school. I was treated as an unteachable idiot and an outcast who spent most of my time being tormented without mercy by my peers. Thats just item moment in a long list of stuff from throughout my life. However it was not until I hit my teens, when my hormones started kicking in, that at times I would have my rare outburst of pure rage. However I have some very supportive people in my life and they, along with a general detached determination to work hard to better myself. From what I've been told even at a young age I made very adult choices and could be shockingly mature at times, a fact that dose not seem all that strange when you consider that my entire school life from day 1 till its end was a literal trial by fire. With there help and my hard work, I walked through that fire and came out as a person live a normal life and hold a full time job I could be proud of in-spite of my problems, severe Dyslexia that specifically targeted my ability to learn ( I was told I was one of the worst in the entire country), Dispraxia which badly messed with my hand/eye coordination and as I would find out later very likely Asperger Syndrome on top of that (I have never been formally diagnosed but a close relative has been and I found out that I display many similar symptoms). These days I'm a much happier person, life is very good but still has its downs. I've always been understanding and forgiving, even as a child despite all that happened. I deal with my emotions better. But that hate and rage which was born in the heart of an innocent child is still there. It will never be how it was, I just go for long walks and vent when the pressure gets to much on those rare occasions, but I'd be lying if I said it was gone. As odd as it may sound, I am a man who is a genuine contradiction. And indifferent, kind soul who would not wish harm on anyone but who dose have a volcano within him. As weak as it may sound, a man who both defined my his scars and yet also how he moved passed them. In my darkest, most depressed moments, my power fantasies were not of control or power but destruction. My inner demon is the kind that would destroy people, cities, countries, worlds, solar systems, galaxies, universes and the multiverse because of hate and rage. Why? So that nothing can ever hurt it again and to make everyone else suffer unfairly as it had. If a Red Lantern ring was placed on my finger...I fear thats the monster I would become. ......ok this went a lot deeper then I intended to go but I'm happy to share it with you guys. While I dont know any of you personally, my time spent on this forum as always been very pleasant and fun. I even dare say I cherish this site in an odd way.
  21. Thank you I'm much better now. I feel much the same way as you, I have said before that before the big Pokemon/Dragon Ball/Sailor Moon boom of the late 90s Guyver was THE anime to have. It not only had a a great story and characters for its time but by 90s anime standards his Dub was amazing. Hell even to this day it holds up well. But it just got washed away in blood of new content and has never quit clawed its way back. As for these review well they have been delayed but as soon as there up I'll start posting them.
  22. Its been conferred as part of a trilogy of films. The confirmed monsters are.... Godzilla Rodan Anguirus Orga Dagahra from Rebirth of Mothra 2 and finally Dogora the Space Monster!
  23. It will be out November this year, however once its main theatrical run is over it will go strait to Netflix world wide. We'll be able to watch it much sooner then we did Shin. The same thing is happening for the Devilman Crybaby anime to.
