It depends on where they fight. If they fight in the DC universe, Goku could find himself severely reduced, power-wise. Qi pretty obviously works differently there; there are many martial artists in the DC universe, but none of them have developed super powers based on it. Goku might be no more than an accomplished hand-to-hand fighter, a match for Batman, perhaps, but no more. His alien nature might conceivably give him an edge, but I don't know what edge that is. Wolverine without the claws, unbreakable skeleton and healing factor? Adversely, were Superman to fight in the DB universe, he might be as powerful as ever... or more powerful. He did master Torquasm-Vo, a Kryptonian martial art which leans heavily on mental disciplines. Imagine Superman with a developed ability to channel qi power. Of course, these two would never fight for long, let alone to the death. Goku gave Freezer, a genocidal madman, chance after chance after chance to get out with his tail more or less intact; and Superman doesn't kill as a rule. God, I hate this particular issue.

Didn't notice that before, but that Megatherium is not depicted very well at all. For one thing it is wayyy too big (which is excusable) but for another its anatomy is quite off (which isn't). Look at its feet, for instance. Megatherium walked on the sides of its feet. Think I might do a scanlation myself.

That may be, but I really hope Mizuki gets access to some kind of 'firepower', because right now she's just the cute one. Sho's the muscle, Tetsuro's the brains, Aso's the gruff veteran, Natsuki's the sensible action girl, Aptom's the scary one - Mizuki, even after all this time, is still just a girl in wayyyy over her head. Seriously, she must be more than his love interest and provider of nookie. If she is even that. But she's not strong enough to wield a gun sufficiently powerful to harm a Zoanoid (like Mr.Murakami used to), she's no scientist and she also doesn't turn into a hulking fighting machine. I love her, of course, but tactically she is a major liability.

Megatherium was a giant land sloth, native to South America. It has been believed that some native peoples actually kept them in caves, behind palissades, presumably to eat during wintertime. But it seems difficult to believe, considering their size and strength, especially since some scientists have come to think they were omnivorous, not strictly herbivorous, based on certain anatomical qualities (claws made for slashing. teeth more for softer stuff than leaves).

A Megatherium, a Quetzalcoátlus and an Arthropleura. Funny how they ran from the big Q but calmly observed the giant sloth when the latter was much more likely to see them as snacks (recent findings suggest it was omnivorous). Seems we haven't seen the entire zoo yet by a long shot...

OMG. Amazing Spider-Man #700. Those lunatics really did it...

For $9??? Buy it now! Now! Now! In many ways, these movies are a lot better than your average Godzilla flick.

I posited the question years ago: can the Guyvers breed? There has never before been a Guyver unit that was alive for years, so who knows what might happen? Sho starts waking up in the middle of the night, miles from the hideout, bio-boosted. The fourth or fifth time this happens, he has a spasm, and to his horror, the abdominal panels split and open, similarly to the chest panels, but instead of a weapon, a giant slimy blister bulges... then bursts, and out drops a brand-new G-unit! The question is, would it have a control medallion? I think it would; the control medallion is a crystalline computer, one huge molecule, and crystals grow by precipitation. I bet it could 'clone' itself. In any case, the control medallion would not allow the booster organism to reproduce itself out of control. I wonder what those organisms were like originally.

Actually, isn't that what a Gigantic is?

That looks beautiful.

All I know is that ep 7 looked awful.

http://news.yahoo.com/civil-rights-leader-lawrence-guyot-dies-73-055815424.html The only reason is because this was a guy from our world who carried the name... and, of course, because he could not have been more different. Which led me to do a little Google job... http://www.facebook.com/richard.guyot.58 Yikes.

That'll teach me not to check the board for a few days! That was AWESOME! Also, I don't see why Sho would be unable to use the sonics or gravity cannon... Aptom's body can resist the enormous power of his own energy weapons, I am sure he could accomodate those. As for the megasmashers, he just has to open up... What is much more important is that the Guyver is now directly approaching a high-ranking member of Chronos. This is very promising. Détente is the first step towards coexistence and eventually peace.

Ryuki, you are a champion. It fits just fine, except it looks so much better than the rest of the clip!

Watching 'Wakfu'... It's pretty nice.

I'm not sure I agree, because why would a human have an evolutionary revulsion towards a talking corpse? Talking corpses don't exist in the real world. I think it's because it sets off contradictory signals in the brain. Humans are more perfect social animals than any other species on the planet, and we are wired to recognize facial features and movement to an enormously fine degree. So if something is off, the brain can't respond properly because, like talking corpses, artificial humans don't exist in nature either. And our natural response to the unknown is fear. And the Singularity... well, the defining characteristic of the Singularity is that it is expected to happen fast, when it happens. Much too fast for humans to phase themselves in. This is not a gradual thing - it's called the Singularity for a reason. If a true emergent artificial intelligence appears, and it has some way to make its impression on the world, the next steps will be up to it, not us, simply because those will be decisions made in the span of a handful of seconds.

I am not prejudiced against you or your opinions. I do completely disagree with your opinion on Prometheus, however. And I am even surprised at your love for it. Even aside from my gripes, viewed as a movie completely on its own, it wasn't that good. When I said it was beautiful, I meant it looks very pretty - the visuals are kick-ass. But that's all. Sounds like George Lucas. I haven't watched all of 'The furious Gods' yet, but I intend to. I think the problem is that these guys want to be Stanley Kubrick, but Kubrick was a perfectionist who would never have allowed mistakes as obvious as those in this movie to pass him by.

Ryuki, I think I have made it very clear that I don't agree with you at all regarding Prometheus.

Ryuki, they may not be NASA, they are still supposed to be professional scientists. Archeologists, and at least one biologist. They are the first people EVER to set foot in an alien habitat, and they have just travelled YEARS through space, cost: $1,000,000,000,000,-, to do so. This kind of behaviour is not merely stupid, it is completely insane. It is insulting to scientists, and, since I paid money to see the flick, it was insulting to me. Taking off their helmets added NOTHING to the movie - they never took them off in 'Alien', for instance - except a little sting of "Look at how stupid these characters are". It's a beautiful movie. Not a good movie. The ideas, characterization, dialogue and plot are all pretty dumb.

I rest my case.

Man, this is the darkest hour. Is there anyone who thinks Optimus might really be dead?

This article does a better job. http://wegotthiscovered.com/movies/fictional-science-100-glaring-logical-issues-with-prometheus/

I so disagree with you, Ryuki.

Ryuki - upon re-viewing it you will come to realize what a dumb movie it is. Some of the stuff they say in it is downright idiotic. The speech the male archeologist gives about the star system they're going to would give an astronomer a conniption fit. "This galactic system has a sun". Who the hell wrote that crap? And how come nobody, at any point, said "Hey - that's bollocks." Woman has her stomach wall, muscles and all, cut open, then stapled shut... and immediately after runs, jumps and drops like she's trying to win a cross-country medal. The Engineers were planning to destroy humanity... but I guess they changed their plans after that one ship was disabled. Thing is, 'Alien' was perfect. It was perfect because it was completely concentrated, so simple, so basic. 'Prometheus' is attempting to be about high concepts while at the same time being a splatter movie. It's a dumb flick which looks really beautiful. It is nowhere near as good as 'Alien'. It is nowhere near as good as 'Alien resurrection', in fact.

Thank you very much, unbreakable Durendal.
