Ohhhh man. That escalated really quickly. Well, so much for fusion, eh?

Those are pretty cool. And weird, especially Dogora.

Just started to watch it. Yowza. Killgrave is a rat bastard.

It's amazing to me they never did it. It's so obvious.

I once envisioned a crossover possibility. The world, under threat by a devastating force of destruction: a towering apparition laying waste to all before it with nuclear destruction. All over the world, people drawn to the same point, deep underwater, by a power they do not understand. A city, deep in the ocean - the last remnant of an ancient human civilization who venerated a strange pantheon, a pantheon of four deities: Mosu-ra, the great butterfly, the benevolent creator, who nourishes; Goji-ra, the giant sea dragon, avenger of evils, who punishes; Game-ra, the great flying turtle, defender of the innocent, who protects; and a fourth, unnamed deity. Gojira has risen to punish humanity for its destruction of the environment and will not rest until it is destroyed, unless humanity finds a way to awaken the protector. This happens, and the two battle to stalemate until Gamera, mortally wounded, drags the equally-injured Gojira with him to the upper reaches of the atmosphere, where both detonate in a blazing inferno. Earth is safe once more. The hero of the piece, believed critically injured, pulls through, and we see a tiny butterfly slowly opening its wings on the window sill. But in the final, after-credits scene, a scientist has discovered one single icon in the ancient city which not only depicts the three aformentioned gods, but also the fourth one, who was dreaded and despised by all and thus stricken from most records, and he spells the alien name: Gi-do-ra... and as he speaks, the camera pulls back, back, back into outer space, to a distant asteroid, where a single blazing eye eagerly opens...

Galenos. Tuathá de Galenos, whose name is odd, since it means 'the people of the god Galenos'. I guess the implication is that he's Celtic or something, which I thought would be covered with Caerleon. He hasn't even spoken a single word since it was retconned (originally he spoke Guyot's name, but that was altered in the edited versions of the older volumes). He breathes fire. We already know at least one Zoanoid could merge with the landscape. Maybe he becomes a volcano? A giant, humanoid, ambulatory volcano. How does one stop a volcano? To quote a geologist: "You don't." Another theory I had was that maybe his power involves radioactivity. Guyot's power was gravity, Prukshutal's was electromagnetism, I am guessing their force fields (Especially what Jabir and Clumeggnigg are doing now) could involve the strong nuclear force... so why not the weak nuclear force? Yentsui's ability seemed to be quantum-mechanical in nature (Contrasting nicely with Waferdanos' intensely organic powers), and Caerleon's 'casting threedimensional shadows from a pocket dimension' power reminded me of the angel Leliel from 'Evangelion' - another quantum effect, in this case a Dirac Sea. As for Barcas: Wasn't it suggested during the battle in Arizona that once he takes on his battleform, he can't switch back? If that is true, it's more like a conversion. His power is psychic - the mind. He is Chronos' most powerful telepath even in human form. So... perhaps, when he changes, he becomes pure psychic energy. No baroque organic warrior form, but only a mass of structured energy. Like the final form of Onslaught.

He'd be processed or killed. And it would happen fast. *** Maybe I was a bit hasty with that assessment. The Zoalords are not all-powerful, after all. Their powers are psychic and physical in nature, but none of them have been shown to be geniuses when it comes to the modern media Anarky expertly uses. Their greatest scientist was of the generation of Galileo Galilei's father for pete's sakes. They could not have foreseen the Internet. Anarky could spread (mis-) information about Chronos at tremendous speed through endless message boards. They'd need an expert hacker/tracker and process him so they could control him. Then maybe they could find him. And if Anarky built a group of people like himself, like Anonymous (if they can be called a group), the world could learn the truth about Chronos very quickly. If he knew the truth. ...What truths about Chronos is the public unaware of, though? And what could they do, if they knew? Turn the whole world into something like Zeus' Thunderbolt? But then Chronos would probably just switch to mandatory processing, and their numbers would grow at a far greater rate than they are doing now. For that matter, why didn't they already? Processing a person takes, what, a week? Less? And we know they possessed facilities capable of processing thousands of people at once. Hmmmm.

Man, you don't need to tell me. He's the dregs.

A hundred Unus... holy cow. I wonder what larger configurations of them are capable of. Pentacle... Hexapod... Septimus... Octagon... Ennead... Decimator.

Does this mean the expenses for maintaining the site have gone up?

Experience has taught me that a story can get completely out of hand. The problem is that he introduced a bunch of hella powerful opponents early on and now he has to get rid of them. The rebellion ensured they couldn't gang up on the Guyver and split up the problem, and Apollon got rid of one, as well. ...What annoys me is that the parties are acting as if they're in a game, where you have to take turns. And not in a war, where you strike as soon as it is strategically beneficial. The Zoalords are staggeringly ineffective, almost inert, in dealing with the Guyver. Frankly, Archanfel and Barcas seem to have made some pretty poor choices, since none of the guys seem to have anything of the general in them.

I am waiting for Danny Rand.

Is it possible he was already a Hyper-Zoanoid when he re-married? Assuming this is true. Which, I must confess, I doubt. He was from upstate New York, and this was the Toronto base. Also Zencrebe (Zenkerb) seemed beefier in his human form than wiry (and old) Robert Lisker. Then again, if he was processed later... Oswald was meant to become a Hyper-Zoanoid. When he died, perhaps Robert took his place. He didn't seem to have siblings, and they would need someone very reliable to become such a powerful Hyper. Huh. I'd say there is some merit here. In a retcon meaning, anyway.

Then he should have a classical name. Like Michael, the warrior angel, often depicted as slaying a dragon, or George, as in St.George, also a dragonslayer.

Holy cow. Pokémon meets Shadow of the Colossus.

But the main villain of Iron Man 3 was scary.

Ohhhh... Even the credits just give his name as 'Atkins'. Even Sean is just referred to as 'Sean'. Why couldn't they have given Josh Trank THIS movie?

...Who are you actually talking about?

Just saw it. I'd have to say as a movie it wasn't awful, but it was pretty dark and negative... and then the ending seemed sawn-off and with some very forced positivity in it. The visuals are pretty nice, and the actors did their damnedest... but this is not a Fantastic Four movie. That simple. In short, everything that has been said, confirmed. And Trank's claim that there was an infinitely better version of this somewhere is laughable.

So all of this was just a storm in a thimble.

This is gonna be one of those Big Fights, isn't it? We might be looking at a two-volumer. We should remember that this is unprecedented. A Gigantic is a match for any Zoalord except maybe Archanfel, but if the geometric effect from fusing is as prodigious as it was with the Unus, 'Malak-al-Maut' might be the most powerful being on Earth right now. And I doubt it led with its strongest attack. This should really be one for the ages - this is either the final end of the Rogue Zoalords, or Zeus' Thunderbolt is about to lose its leader. I am not prepared to dismiss the second possibility, since it certainly would make the story a hell of a lot more dramatic. And interesting, since I fail to see how even Archanfel could possibly stand against two Guyver Exceeds. Something tells me that we're looking at the final day of the Karakorum mountain range.

I can't imagine anything worse in the context of the Guyver. Even a Saturday morning cartoon-type version of the series would be better.

Hey! Why didn't anybody mention the Purple Man is played by none other than David Tennant?

It was a draw. You could, in a pinch, say King Kong came out better; unless I am mistaken they fell into the ocean and King Kong was seen swimming back to Skull Island, and 'no Godzilla'. But he popped right back up in the next movie. so they just decided to stop fighting. ...That means that Kong is the only movie monster ever who can be stated outright to be able to fight Godzilla to a standstill. Of course it's a different Kong... about three times as tall as the original, and with lightning powers. And if this guy is to be able to stand up to the new Godzilla, he'll need another upgrade.

Interesting. Interesting. Zebediah Killgrave (aka the Purple Man, not so purple now it seems - canonically one of the worst bastards in Marvel, even though he is low profile); Jessica 'Jewel' Jones; and unless I am very, very mistaken, Luke Cage (yay!).
