I dabble in writing. I work with You Don’t Read Comics. I am also a loving single father of one chaotic young boy doing his best to get by. Him/he/his
I just found out: it’s the original Kamen Rider’s daughter! She’s getting a special where she fights an evil Femme apparently.

The instructions page comes from the 1/100 G-Falcon and Double X combined kit (it’s a cool two-in-one bundle). The Airmaster Burst and Leopard Destroy are also in 1/100 form from back in the day and are totally compatible, which is great.

Might be hard to find these days though.

I still have *vivid* memories of wanting to go to Dennys and instantly regretting it because of the smoking section and non smoking section being separated by the cash register. And people would take their ash trays into the non smoking section anyhow because people were assholes.

It’s the same with CG sparks versus actual sparks in tokusatsu. It still looks cool, but *man*.

Yeah, Endless Waltz felt like the director was like “we don’t need Gundam anymore” lol

Allegedly, they wanted Tory Furuya to voice DOME, but there were issues getting him in at the time.

Yeah: Amuro Ray was almost DOME.

The fun thing is that the Gunpla were built that way too.

This scene with the apocalyptic music playing like it’s the end of the fucking world, it was so fucking good.

The week after, it seems like enough people complained or laughed them off, because there was a sign about how the company wasn’t for hate and would do better about vetting pollsters making up camp outside the store.

Exactly. I got stopped by this chud outside Wal-Mart and got asked if I wanted to sign his “keep boys out of girls sports” paperwork.

I laughed in his face as loud as I could and walked off telling him to “fuck off.”

He hid the papers from me when I went back next week.

Not coming with a space candle or ghost was a crime.

While he’s on the prison transport, no one notices or goes out of their way to pretend they don’t notice. Make it a dumb comedy bit that would totally work for the world they set up.

The funny thing is, I think it would have been better if he not only never removed his helmet, but they played it stupid straight.

They strip him of his judge vestments, but he glares when they go for the helmet. So it stays on.

I actually picked up that Superman one a few years ago for a buck or two. I did like that they were trying reprints… but man. Most of the options outside of what we consider modern trades just sucked.

I got the Pocket Books Spidey collection v2 as a kid, and I can barely read it now lol

Oh that’s just neat!

Or that Abrams’ wasn’t real Trek because it was hot and sexy and had lens flares.

Or Discovery because woman who is black. The few voices who did have valid concerns were drowned out by the chuds.

It’s such a weird cycle.

I remember hearing about debates on if TNG was REAL TREK. When it was made by the freaking creator of Trek.

Or if DS9 was REAL TREK now that TNG was the golden child.

Or Voyager.

Or Enterprise.

(Which, more fair on the last one due to the timescale slide and theme change and writing…)
