Re: Latest movie thread.

I saw Bourne Legacy today. Action was great, not too sure about the plot, though.

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-8

With only 2 eps left, I just wonder how Ezelcant's clone will fit into the final battle. Will he be just a carbon copy of Ezelcant, or will he have his own objectives. I just wish he could have been introduced a bit sooner. I wonder. has there ever been a Gundam TV series where a major antagonist ma...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-8

In a way it would make sense... Her death is what has really driven his hatred through the years, and maybe she could bring him back from the edge still... It would be weird that she has more influence over him than his wife, son or grandson. It would also mean that X-Rounders have the newtype abil...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-8

Decades of an interplanetary war, yes. But again, what is the alternative? Clearly, the main goal in question is to take back Earth. There is a need to do so, because of space aids. Ezelcant has waged campaigns against the Earth Federation, and since his goals seem genuine (to the Vagans), what pos...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-8

Like I posted before, Kio has yet to question why Second Moon is in Earth's orbit, even though the Mar's rays killing Lu was the primary reason for his no kill policy. Why was it only moved now, why not before? I can't believe people still asking why they can't move Second Moon to earth orbit earli...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-8

so i guess it's better for Kio to be a hypocrite who contradicts himself in the same scene? oh, who am i kidding, you guys would bitch about that too So it would be better to continue to follow ideals that are misguided? Like I posted before, Kio has yet to question why Second Moon is in Earth's or...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-8

As for understanding the plight of the Vagans, he suddenly has all this empathy for them based on a short amount of time spent with one sickly dying girl, but in doing so he seems to have lost all empathy for the people of the Earth Sphere who have been suffering for decades because of the Vagans. ...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-8

Well it looks like quite a bit has been said about this episode so I guess I'll say something about the next episode, I wholeheartedly look forward to seeing Kio take out Zanald in battle. I'm assuming this is going happen from the previews but I can dream until Sunday when the episode comes out. N...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-8

it would probably help if the show actually demonstrated what's so silly about cutting off the heads of mecha whose cockpits are in the head with your Gundam that can do all that in a matter of moments I think the reason Kio's beliefs were challenged was because the Age FX burst mode can defeat lar...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-8

I'm honestly hard pressed to name a woman in AGE who doesn't act like she's hopeless without a man. Maybe Lala? Not counting the characters I disputed above: Millais, Yunoa, Arisa, Shanala, and Laraparly (Madorna's wife) and that's not counting incidental characters like the bridge crews or the two...

Re: New Dragon Ball Z Movie!

I jsut wonder where in the storyline this movie will be based from. Will it be after the Buu Saga, or maybe they will role the clock back to the Freiza Saga? Will Goten and Trunks be there, or just Future Trunks? I guess time will tell. The writer confirmed on Twitter it would take place about the ...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-8

I think it actually has one key issue in it's overriding structure and that is that at a certain point the narrative does not mesh well with what comes before and I think it owes to the generational concept more than anything, but also a lack of proper planning on the part of Level 5 who came up wi...

Re: Victory Gundam

The way Uso's mother was killed by the wheel of that battleship was horrific. I wonder if there will ever be a Gundam TV series with deaths as gruesome as that again.

Re: Spiderman 1994 animated (spoilers)

This was the series that made me a Spiderman fan. Spidey was represented accurately and the villains he faced were not all dumbed down even with the tight regulations Saturday morning cartoons had back then. Though I have to admit that the Spectacular Spiderman series from a couple years ago surpass...

I saw Premium Rush and Ted. The latter was what I expected it to be, but Premium Rush surprised me. It was a lot better than I expected and had me engaged throughout.

I think if Fram dies, Zeheart might realize just how stupid Ezelcant's plan is, seeing as how she is one of the better Vagan pilots, yet won't live to see Eden.

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-8

Ep 46 was definitely one of the better ones in this arc so far. The action was fluid but I wish they could tone down on the quasi-DBZ battle scenes a tad. It was nice to see Wendy getting some relevant air time for a change, I don't think she's had any meaningful interaction with Kio in a while. Zan...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-7

although, really, for being supposedly the main character of this arc, Kio hasn't really gotten that much screentime, so i chalk this up to yet another thing AGE skimps on from trying to cram too much stuff into too little time. about all Kio ever has time for is the same "understanding" ...

Re: The Official Gundam AGE Anime Thread AGE-7

i don't think they really need to develop Kio and Wendy's "relationship" anyways, to be honest. it's not like there's much of anything there to start with, nor do they have to account for some Kio Jr. or somewhere, nor have they ever pretended that Wendy is some sort of important characte...
