This is indeed a complete overhaul. Nice. Will have to get my bearings on how to navigate this newly updated portal.

The Gale Hound Guyvers 1 & 3 as well as the Stato Hound Guyver 2F looks very interesting.  Looks like these will be up for sale starting December 2026 and January 2027.  No date listed for the Guyver 2F.  This seems to be a collaboration with the Titanomachia series, which is very interesting to me.

Huh, you learn something new everyday.

Are there even enough of us to milk to begin with?

The sad truth is that we are now all older and should have a lot more disposable income compared to decades ago, so should there be new interesting products we want, we can easily afford them.  Unlike before where they market to younger demographics, they need critical mass to be profitable.  Now, they can just issue limited edition merchandise and we all be like "shut up and take my money" 😄

Either that or they are just milking the franchise off of desperate fans like us looking for more.

More merchandise does not necessarily mean more new material.  If the story will continue, they will make a big announcement of it.  This is more likely a strategy to sate fans appetite over the vacuum the manga left, and keep the brand alive.  They are skating on thin ice relying on nostalgia to drive sales.  The fans are getting older and it will dry out eventually if no new materials gets released to hook on newer, younger fans.

After a long wait, a new addition to my G-Gundam collection has arrived.  Still contemplating how to display it...

With so many storylines telling how Dr. Doom wins (Secret War, Emperor Doom, One World Under Doom, etc...), one has to wonder which storyline they would focus on or borrow elements from.  Most of the details points to 1985's Secret Wars (obviously), and there are even rumors of Cavill playing the Beyonder (is this even confirmed?).   I just can't shake this feeling that Marvel will keep on releasing "leaked" information that is fake to troll everyone just for the sake of keeping its secrecy.

Teaser trailer so far looks good.  I just hope they don't botch this up again.

So they're gonna keep releasing teaser trailers every week now?  It goes without saying that I'm really looking forward to watching this on the big screen.  It will be interesting to see how they mesh the different universes, as this movie is clearly a very big fan service to begin with, as with every MCU movie should be.  I do hope they realize and understand what Deadpool & Wolverine did with choke full of references, and how those tiny but voluminous details propelled the movie to the top of the box office.

This is more likely a business decision on the part of Kadokawa rather than the author.  Since there are figures being released for the Guyver, this copyright protects them from third parties developing unauthorized (pirated) versions of any merchandise they produce.  Because if there is no copyright on the IP, you can be assured that a lot of 3rd party will profit from it.  At least this way, even if 3rd parties develop any form of merchandise related to the IP, Kadokawa still profits from its licensing.

I loved Swat Kats!  Too bad it ended too abruptly.  Whatever happened to the kickstarter for the animated version?

Nope, nevermind.  It's a firewall thing.  Used an exit node and everything shows up.  thanks for looking into it.

This one has to be an issue with your setup... I just tried my Edge, which I never use, and all youtube videos on the forum show up properly.

Yeah, all of the old posts with embedded youtube links are still visible to me.  It's the newer posts that don't show up.  Could this be a plug-in thing as I've never used any?

When I hover the mouse over, It has this message saying "It looks like the webpage at https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/pLZ_za4a-88?feature=oembed might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address."

I'm also having the same issue, but more on youtube videos.  I can't seem to see the embedded youtube links, and only shows up as a box with an icon of a cloud in the middle with three dots inside.  I'm using Microsoft Edge.

The title Brand New Day does fit the narrative, and somewhat aligns with the comics (everyone forgetting Peter Parker is Spider-man).  Despite how unpopular the comics rendition was, I'm still looking forward to this.  Interesting to see if Kingpin will make an appearance since the Punisher and Daredevil will seem to make an appearance.

Just seen this yesterday.  It's a refreshing take on the classic first family of Marvel.  It was rather predictable at times, but it was still enjoyable.  Mid-credits scene was great, but was disappointed with the post credit scene.  I take it that some of the classic cartoons they used was newly animated since it has an uncanny resemblance to Pedro Pascal.  I also remember watching the original cartoons as a kid, and Reed doesn't look like that.

I really do love the naming convention for these.  It's so amusing.  Bio Techno Man for the win!!!

Welcoming the 40th anniversary would be nice with a new chapter.

The most probable reason is that the manga and light novels are already licensed in North America so no freelance translation group wants to touch this.  I believe Seven Seas Entertainment has the right to the series and they should have this available for purchase here: I’m in Love with the Villainess (Light Novel) | Seven Seas Entertainment

Damn!  This is unexpected and really sad.   Lost another good writer.

I just saw this yesterday, and I haven't felt this excited about the next MCU movie for a long time.  Everyone was applauding when the second post credit scene showed.  I should have seen Captain America Brave New World first (was waiting for it in Disney+) and there were some connections to that movie which lost me. 

I'm just excited to see Bucky Shine.  Would be cool if we see him as badass as he was in Winter Soldier.  The Disney+ series didn't do him justice.  I also can't get enough of Yelena.  Loved her in Hawkeye.  As for the Red Guardian, I just can't stop seeing him being Jim Hopper from Stranger Things.

This, I'm actually looking forward to.  I'm happy that B tier characters always get the good story writing.

I guess this is in theaters everywhere now.  This opened in our local cinema two days ago and still haven't had the chance to watch this.  Anybody seeing this and how did you like it?

Well, now I'm glad that I have a subscription for Amazon Prime.  Is it true that this iteration won't be "Peter Parker" but a completely different character?

Looks very "Fan-ish" to me.  One that I'll choose over any Hollywood version anytime.  Still, good job.
