I get that it wasn't popular with many alien franchise fans, but I honestly don't think it's that unusual. Ridley Scott directed Alien and then the rest were by other people. Prometheus was the return to the same director doing the same kind of thing. I found a lot of similarities in the pacing, the presentation etc. both movies are very beautiful. Both movies have strong characters who I can relate to. I was never as much a fan of Aliens, Alien 3, Alien resurrection, as I was Alien. I felt like they went more in an action movie direction. Prometheus brought it back to What Alien was for me. I think maybe this is a big difference between me and most alien fans I have met. Most people usually say Aliens is much better than Alien. obviously they are looking for something very different to what I am looking for. When you consider that Alien was primarily about being vulnerable and running away, you might say that Prometheus is the same. they are completely out of their league with no hope of fighting. They are up against something terrifying and unknown. Thank you for posing the question, I enjoyed writing that It actually brings me on to reaffirm what I did not like about Covenant. It was Ridley doing something that is out of his comfort zone. He was not being true to himself. He should have gotten another director to do it if he just wanted to pander to the fans.

I get that, but to be honest, my top 2 out of the franchise is Alien and Prometheus.

OK. so please write down the main themes clearly. write them down in one place so you can clearly look at them. like so :- Animals. Martial Arts. are these your only themes? if you have more themes, then add them. then draw little lines coming away from each theme and write down things associated with those themes. It's called a mind map.

he means that out of all the alien franchise, all films set in that universe, this one was on equal footing as prometheus in terms of how much he enjoyed it and both being put ahead of most other alien franchise films.

what are they? is there a list somewhere?
-
is there any chance of the text being fixed in the user titles? they used to be japanese characters but they have been garbled for ages!

poison the water supply of the entire tokyo area. ruthless bitch. only kidding. I'd run away and hide.

Don't work for free. it devalues you and disrespects your abilities. when people hear that you've done a job for free, they assume you are no good and it can damage your reputation before you've even started to build it.

wow, it looks like the romanisation is pretty confusing? is it not open to interpretation then? does the dictionary have official kanji versions of all the words?
-
please can you explain this article ? https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/アバドン in my guyver books it says - アポルオン
-
I remember someone showing quite convincingly that the Japanese spelling of the name is like a mix between apollo and apollyon. So he's like influenced by both of them. or like how the greek names turned into the italian names or something. like he was apollo but then he got repatriated into a christian figure. iono.

The dreams I've had about guyver and the things I have imagined as a result of guyver are all so much better than anything yoshiki takaya can give us. so I don't really care so much at this point.
-
I am champing at the bit!!! please get back to me!! I am very interested. Give me an idea if I can afford it XD I mean the Guyot figure. I had that one. a knock off version. I would love to have the official one!! please don't sell it quickly XD
-
ARGH crap. Okay, well thanks for letting me know. I'm curious, would I have been able to afford it? maybe give me an idea in the region?

this is it. I think everyone is in the same position. the world sucks. I'm 10 years out of university and I'm starting my own design studio. It's hard work, but people who do this will be in a good position as opposed to those who go and work in walmart.
-
ah I see. ok, well this version has them arranged a bit better -
-
the arrangement bugs me. it goes from bottom left :- 2, 3, 4, 7, 6, 9, 10, 11 if the top two were switched around, it would be better. thank you for making it, it is really awesome!!

X day was in the 90s too. the only indication we have is technology but that has been confused a bit by chronos' influence on society. I think it may actually be meaningless to assign a date because of how chronos have effected technology differently to our world. I think the only indications are when the characters mention how long they have been hanging around since last incident. I think it's a few years. maybe 5 at most since x day.

I am interested in this. how do I apply? Do I need to make an offer? if so, what is reasonable?

It seems obvious to me that Goku plans to win and then use the giant planet dragonballs to bring the other universes back or stop zen-o from destroying them. That's all they have ever done in the past. Goku doesn't care so much for consequences because up til now, any consequence has been nullified by the dragonballs.

I felt the tone was a bit colder than previous films. For me, the scene at seemed to set the tone for the film.
-
maybe it used his spine? It had to grow so maybe his back area was weakened by the imp eating his bones.
-
I saw this movie just now pretty much. I been having small flashbacks of the evil white imps. DX So Anyhow, my favourite films of the franchise, Alien and Prometheus, are very character driven films, this one was heavy on the violence. I personally feel it was quite hectic so I can't currently say I thought it was awesome. I mean, I am glad I went to watch it. I may need to watch it again at some point to get a better idea.

Fortuitously, I received volume 32 in the post today! So I had a look through and it has the parts where Tetsuro and Mizuki are with Al. and they just call him Al with no honorific.
