  1. I am guessing the reason Apollon attacked the Ark is that some Chronos employees probably knew about where the Crystals were, and he simply used that information that he probably stole telepathically. Caerleon was probably just there at the wrong time. The two rogue Zoalords have probably hidden themselves very well, and very few, if any, know of their whereabouts. Might be why Apollon is going after Guyot, since they helped Guyot out. Probably going after him for information on their location so he can get their crystals. As for why he wants the crystals? Well, if it is Murakami, he could be collecting them to create new, more loyal Zoalords? As it's been proven already that a few have had their own agendas, and might not go along with Archanphel's plans, no matter how loyal they seem. And while Archanphel can intimidate them, his injuries are catching up to him, and he may not be able to command that kind of power next time.
  2. Because Iron Man is awesome. If it wasn't for Iron Man, we wouldn't have the Marvel Cinematic Universe as it is now. Seriously though, now that they have settled on Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, we'll hopefully see a Hulk movie in Phase 3. Especially since in recent interviews, he noted that his role in Age of Ultron is bigger and more complex. That could get people really excited for more Hulk... Despite that fact he HAS technically had 2 movies already... But since both were origin films, I would like to see a different plot line that isn't bogged down by origins.
  3. Yep. Which is why an Iron Man 4 COULD be possible, as RDJ would still be involved with Marvel and Disney. They could try and coax him to do a forth solo. That or some cameo's for RDJ in Phase 3, and ending his role as Tony after Avengers 3. Thankfully Chris Evans still has 1 more Captain America movie after all this as well. Good point to leave off on and get Buck properly in.
  4. Nothing has been said regarding a 4th Iron Man at all. It would probably be a no brainer, considering how much Iron Man 3 made, and the fact the RDJ is probably the most iconic and stand out performance from all the Marvel movies. It was rumored before Iron Man 3 that RDJ was not really expecting to do many more, possibly with the exception of a few cameos... but Iron Man 3 hit big. I am sure Disney is going to throw as much money as it takes to get him back for another. But then again, I guess we need to see how Avengers: Age of Ultron goes first. I'd personally be ok if they called it at 3... They ended his personal stuff pretty well, and with the Avengers we will still see more of him. However, as an Iron Man fanboy, I'd still love to see another solo outing, just so long as its a good story.
  5. I freaking loved this. They found the perfect Guy for Ken, and Ryu was also really good. Yeah, the acting was a bit amateurish, but still well enough done to be great overall. If they cut this together for a DVD release, I am totally buying it.
  6. I went ahead and just made it an actual poll. Sorry if I stepped on any toes. Anywho, my vote is for Imakarum. I honestly think the evidence stands for itself.
  7. I think the question as to whether or not he is or is not an "Agent of the Creators" has been put into question many times before. Including the fact that he has "borrowed" Tetsuro and Mizuky previously, and has Archanphel in a human house. As such, why is he taking care of Archanphel, one who the creators injured and abandoned? The only one who knows where Archanphel is, and cares for him is: Your Answer. Yes, it IS still just speculation until Takaya shows us the truth, but the evidence just piles up more and more.
  8. That's pretty much the truth. And the "Problem" that DC tends to have. This article brings up what "The Problem" DC Comics has. http://comicsalliance.com/dc-comics-marvel-golden-age-silver-age-comics-history/ Although the previous article explains a bit more about the core differences between Marvel and DC http://comicsalliance.com/superman-characters-marvel-universe-ask-chris-171/ Essentially, DC is stuck in the 50's with their original character ideas. Marvel's main characters are much more grounded, while DC's are more "Elemental" in a sense. They are usually "Too Perfect" archetypes. It was part of the time of which they were created to be true. And sure they have gotten more depth over the years, but the same old ideas still haunt their characters. Which is also one of the reasons why early predictions are guessing that while we assume that a Justice League movie might have some cool stuff... It just won't hit as well as The Avengers and their cast. Just like Man of Steel. They really did not make you care much about anybody in that movie. But almost everyone walked out of Iron Man and Captain America liking the individual characters.
  9. I've never been a DC reader, and mainly a Marvel one. Some Superman, Batman and Green Lantern here and there. But not much. ( though i did get a trade of Flashpoint. That was good. The animated version... not so much) I remember the one event that brought me heavily into comics long long ago: The Age of Apocalypse. Made me want every single issue of every single title that was involved. At this point I knew about a lot of the Marvel characters, and seeing them flipped was fun. Marvel had a few events after that, but was only until Annihilation started that I started to really enjoy Marvels "Yearly" events. Conquest was ok, War of Kings was bleh, and Thanos Imperative was pretty cool. Killed my favorite character, but cool. About this time, Civil War also started. Then Secret Invasion. Then Dark Reign, Seige and Heroic Age. I stopped at Heroic Age as by this time I was getting sick of the main heroes. Which is good because from what I read about them, Fear Itself, Avengers Vs X-Men, Age of Ultron and Infinity were garbage. (especially Age of Ultron and Infinity. Sure Ultron has been killed and revived before, but Thanos? He was kind of sealed in the cancerverse with StarLord and Nova... Starlord is also back, but not Nova? Bastards.) And since Marvel has now retconned one of my favorite story lines from the past decade, I am once again not caring about their comics. Petty? Perhaps. But again, from what I hear from people with similar tastes... I aint missing anything.
  10. There were issues licensing the Openings for Zeta. Heck, there were subtitling issues too, until they released the second version of the English release. But my original Box Set has what is described as "Dub Titles" As for Zeta itself... I couldn't stand it. I think it was too dark, and Kamille was a brat for pretty much most of the series. I just could not stand him. Some of the best UC Mobile Suit designs did come from it though. Nah, he's just some super hacker who still decides to post here after we banned his account. We just hope he doesn't take the site down, and break into our bank accounts. Or not. I was up at 2:30am this morning playing Dark Souls 2... My brain isn't working very well. But I am pretty sure that is accurate. Or not.
  11. Judging solely on the fact of the breathers on the face-plate, and how we have seen them operate, I would assume that they might be able to survive for a limited time in space, but like humans, they probably require oxygen to survive indefinitely. The extremes in temperature probably would not be too much of a problem, considering what we've seen the Guyver survive in battles. While it is unknown if they gravity controller would work in a zero-g environment is another question. How can you manipulate gravity, if there is none? It is also unknown if the Guyvers weapons require oxygen to operate. Just like fire needs oxygen to burn, does the head beam need oxygen to work? Mega-smasher? Will the Sonic busters work at all if there is no sound? Sooo many variables.
  12. Yay for movie posters! You get to see the "Guardians" uniform. Unfortunately they are all red, instead of the blue with red... But that might be a little too close the Captain America in this one. Or the alternate version of the poster...
  13. I never actually cared for FFX at all... (then obviously never bothered with X-2) The only part I did like was Blitzball. I so badly wanted them to make a blitzball spin off game. That would have been amazing. And I usually don't like sports games.
  14. Topic Merged. It's the unfortunate side effect from being a reboot of something a lot of people consider a classic. As, even if you exclude the subtext of the movie, the original is still a fun, over the top 80's action flick. The new Robocop is something more along the lines of normal action movies today, and actually scored fairly well on rotten tomatoes for what it was. At 49% (88 positive to 92 negative) and an average rating of 5.5/10. It's exactly what is it. Average. Nothing special overall. A lot of people liked it. A lot of people did not. But it is a very mid-ling movie in that way, and really, a fitting movie for this time of year. I do know that some critics are completely biased, and some gave it a more negative of review than it deserved, due to nostalgia and their love of the original. But that's their prerogative, and it's up to the reader to decide if they agree or not. And unfortunately, it's reviews like that, which drive people away from actually seeing movies like this, as they tend to hold onto the same nostalgia for somethings. I mean, one of my favorite movie reviewers, MovieBob over at http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ had NOTHING good to say about it, at all. But I KNEW he was going to do that, as he noted in other videos that he wasn't looking forward to it, and outright saying it was going to be garbage and not compete with the original. I am disappointed that his personal bias overpowered his professionalism, but that's life. If I actually had to grade it, I'd probably put it somewhere around 6/10 or 6.5/10. I enjoyed a lot of it, and liked the mechanical designs, but it certainly was not a blockbuster by any means.
  15. The Nova Corps are in it. John C Reily was in the trailer as Rhomann Dey. Glenn Close apparently plays the current "Nova Prime" Whether or not they set anything up for a "Nova" movie is unknown, but the Corpsmen are in the movie. Though I would love it, so long as it is Richard Rider... Sam Alexander is turning out pretty good, but I'd prefer Rich. I hope Angela never appears. She was only brought in to the Marvel universe "Because We Can". I really don't like the shift Marvel took with the Cosmic side. Star-Lord is back, with no real reasoning ( and his new costume is ugly). Thanos is back without any real reasoning. Nova Prime? Still missing, with no real reasoning. But then, they always do this when a new movie comes out. It's stupid because it ruins continuity like crazy... Something Marvel loves to claim they care about, but they don't. There are a number of characters they could be missing, but the current "core" cast is pretty set, without going into too much other back stories... Like: Phylla-Vel Moondragon Mantis Major Victory Cosmo ( never was a full member... But come on, awesome telepathic cosmonaut dog? He's like Professor X! And a Dog! A Russian Dog!) Despite the fact I like Drax and Gamorra... With the smaller cast, I think they could have done without Gamorra, and maybe threw in Phylla or Mantis ( despite Mantis being green skinned as well). As a basic description for both Gamorra and Draw would read: "Green Skinned Badass that uses Blades" Yondu is in the movie. Michael Rooker is playing him.
  16. I have to say I did enjoy it quite a bit. They did touch on a few different points than the original, and did deal with his humanity better. But it also had quite a number of subtle, and not so subtle throwbacks to the original. And the PG rating must have been barely granted. Other than the lack of swearing ( unneeded), nudity ( unneeded) and gore (unneeded), there was still plenty of violence and killing. I felt the that PG rating simply was given because they brought what the original had overdone (gore), done to more realistic levels, and omitted a few unnecessary additions that were not required (nudity and swearing) And while I stil do not favor the black suit despite the helmet being pretty cool, I really like the silver armor even more. A very nice update to the classic design.
  17. Chances are their origins will probably be "Alien related". ie The ooze that makes them is not from this world. Which I believe is their actual origin from the original comic series. They probably won't be grown aliens themselves. Another pic was found:
  18. So as May 16th, 2014 draws closer upon us, news regarding the new Ninja Turtles movie has been released. This time in the form of images of some statues that seemed to be on the filming location, as well as a picture of an armored Shredder, who seems to be in some sort of power armor similar to what was used in the movie "Elysium". I personally think the Turtles look awesome. Shredder... Maybe not so much, but does look menacing with that mask/face.
  19. Why not just cut out the characters from the background? Then you can use whatever you want for the background.
  20. Those are still pretty big stretches. The neural link, moving things with your body, and feeling damage are all from G Gundam too. They also wore fancy suits with sensors, and the mechs actually moved with their bodies. They didn't in Evangelion. Oh and don't forget about Robot Jox. Did it ages before. In Evangelion they never explained where all the Angels were coming from. But it definitely wasn't the ocean since more than one were from space. This if anything is probably borrowed from the fact Godzilla came out from the Ocean in the majority of the films. And the one monster after another? That was taken from old Super Robot and Kaiju shows of the 70's. It's a trope called " Monster of the Week" See? You can find parallels in anything. I've always hated when people choose to point fingers at anything and claim they copied/stole/borrowed something, UNLESS the creators themselves acknowledged the link. While the original writer was aware of Evangelion, Del Toro was not. Del Toro is a Kaiju fan, not an anime fan. The movie would not have been made if Del Toro didn't feel that an updated Kaiju movie could be done. In the most basic sense, you could compare Pacific Rim to a big budget "Mecha Godzilla vs Godzilla" movie, with some fancy tech ideas thrown in. People tend to use Evangelion because it was so popular... But Pacific Rim was not based on Evangelion at all. Especially since Evangelion at is core is about religion and such. Pacific Rim had none of that. Most of the other concepts people use Evangelion to compare it to Pacific Rim, were used before Evangelion was ever a thought in Anno's mind.
  21. hows that compare to the BFC's? I cant remember off the top of my head, and how much is that in £ /$ ?? Amiami lists the Guyvers themselves from about 3,400 - 4,500yen. More for bigger figures. Pretty fitting since the Figma is not really too much smaller in size.
  22. Price usually comes when the pre-order is announced. Looking at other Figma pricing, it'll probably be around 3,000 - 3,500yen depending on size and accessories.
  23. Topic Moved to "Entertainment".
  24. I could draw a picture of Sho and Aptom drinking tea with Shin as the chapter, with caption saying "On Break" Or better yet, get Cannibal to ask one of the two guyver fan girls to do it. They do better "bishie" guys. Seriously though... Maybe make sure there is an extra page in the previous months chapter saying " There is no chapter next month" or the like... Or putting it on the last page of the chapter itself. But, I know this is something that almost every manga translation team goes through. Some ignore it. Some have a Copy and Paste statement regarding these things. While most have a separate e-mail account so that this does not bog down their regular e-mails. However, I do understand that because you have subscribers, ignoring the e-mails isn't that great of an option... Unless you specifically note that those e-mails will be ignored. And I'm not judging people specifically or anything, but in my experiences, Subscribers are very greedy. They think if they are paying for something, they deserve all they can get their grubby hands on, despite knowing exactly what they are paying for... Even if that month no product exists. This kind of thing is just part of the "job" as it were.
  25. I was going to say the same thing... But I probably was going to come off a bit more "Grumpy Old Man-ish", since I've read manga from some artists who have had their series shortened/cancelled due to deadline issues. Either way, I am glad to see we got to see the "Aptom Armor" again, even if it was just in a short 8 pages. Was too cool of a design to not use again.
