Re: The Last Jedi
so i'm not sure how gray a Jedi Luke can really be. and i'm not sure what it means to be a gray Jedi in the new canon anyway. Probably something about not being a self-righteous emotion-denying angst breeding-ground where rigid doctrine is sacred and consequences are ignored like the actual Jedi or...

Re: The Last Jedi
Sounds about right. So if Snoke is the Char, who/what would be Chewie and Maz?
Spoiler
And I guess this means Finn is the Emma.

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV
the AV equipped Gundams had some great acrobatics in space combat especially with the Barbatos Lupus during the fight against the Dawn Horizon Corps. Rewatched this battle, and it was mostly a disjointed mess in terms of how position and information were conveyed visually. There were some neat few-...

Re: The Last Jedi
I bet they're going to have Leia's screentime, what of it had been filmed, cut down so we never again see her directly. They said they'd finished shooting her scenes before she died. They've also been encouraging speculation that Leia was supposed to die in this movie anyway, so as long as they don...

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV
The problem is that his character arc is so abrupt that he winds up not being a useful side character from a narrative standpoint. I feel like what you're describing isn't so much a problem specific to Hush and where his character goes, but complications arising from the multitude of issues I descr...

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV
But that how I feel Honestly, it sounds like you're just self-agitating over the fact that Hush's development played against the shounen-style "Imma be the very best ___ 'cause I'm young and mad at the world" once reality intervened. I would recommend you watch the show for what it actual...

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV
Reading through my 1800-word (!) post a few days later, it comes across as a bit more negative than I'd really intended. I've always been more comfortable in the realm of criticism than praise, but I'll try to balance the ledger with things that slipped my mind or just got buried by all the other th...

Re: The Official Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans Anime Thread Mk IV
I just watched all of S2 for the first time over the past few days, and there are a few things about this show that I feel like I have to get off my chest (other than stuff that's already been discussed at length here, so I'll leave that be). The stuff in spoilers is all part of one main issue, but ...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Re: 0096 Anime Thread Mk I
From what I heard, Full Frontal isn't actually a clone, but more of a Neo Zeon soldier that agreed to go through a transformation into a Char clone, including facial reconstruction surgery, memory wipes, and cyber-newtype enhancements. Hmm... Welp, I think that raises more issues than it addresses....

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Re: 0096 Anime Thread Mk I
Another thing that bothered me (more than it probably should) that I haven't seen brought up. Siam Vist goes off on Full Frontal about how it should be the children who decide what is done with the box. This comes shortly after Minerva accuses FF of being a person made in Char's image (heavily imply...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Re: 0096 Anime Thread Mk I
Hi, guys. I've got something I want to get off my chest that you may or may not find interesting. I first watched OVA 7 when it was new, was several kinds of ticked off most of the way through for narrative reasons, most prominently the parts where Riddhe didn't die when he really should've. Or rath...

Re: Possible unreleased track for Gundam Unicorn OST 4?
I think andrepyon might be pretty close on this one. The mystery music has a lot of Sawano's signature touches*, and it almost sounds like a piano version of a cross between the backing vocals from Re: I Am played forward and parts of On Your Mark played backward. Unfortunately, I don't have time/so...

Re: Star Wars Rogue One
Saw it last weekend, wasn't terribly impressed. The female leads in the force awakens and rogue one look and sound so similar it doesn't surprise me at all that the ending was rewritten to dispel rumors of some sort of relationship or kinship between the two. :roll: Jyn is clearly Rey's half-aunt. ...

Was it confirmed somewhere, or just something the fansubber pulled out of their rear end?
