Except that's impossible as everyone views media differently based on their experiences also what they take from it is very different. Some people will watch a film just for a surface layer viewing and a fun romp others with go further in to the lore or the multi layers of the media and dive deeper...

I don’t expect anyone to like it. But if you’re going to dislike it it should be because of what it is, not because of something you imagine it to be. That goes double if you plan on venting about it in a public space.

I would suggest you watch it more carefully, as a number of things you say re: the plot are untrue (and in some cases completely backwards). For example, Haruo has sex with Maina after he figures out who she is, not before, which neuters about half your rant. Also, Mothra’s egg is used to help break...

I barely managed to force myself through the first film and after finishing the second, I didn't even bother to watch the third and reading Freaky's post on it made me about 95% certain it was the correct call.

The first preview had Goji, Rodan, JetJaguar, Anguirus, and maybe Titanosaur and some other water Kaiju. So plenty of monsters, though that doesn't say anything about actual screen time. Still i have hopes it'll better than w/e the Godzilla anime trilogy was. That was a trilogy about a foe you coul...

Rodan has always been basically a giant pterosaur, at least to the extent Godzilla was basically a giant dinosaur. He has some legs in the Legendary version, but that’s about it. Me, I’m concerned about the lack of kaiju in these previews. I don’t know why people are so hype about it, as it’s JAFA (...

Question, but is the "Version 3" of the "The End of Evangelion - Concurrency Project" listed in places an iteration of the one talked about on the last pages of this thread? The one linked via google drive has quite different edits. I wasn't a huge fan of third iteration I w...

You can say the monster screentime complaints are silly and I may even agree to a extent but they are prevalent. Here is a major tweet less than 24 hours old complaining about such and it's got 4000+ likes. (:| https://mobile.twitter.com/RubberNinja/status/1354259453877477377 They're prevalent, but...

Hmmm. So Godzilla is being provoked somehow . . . seems legit. I predict some serious fights followed by a teamup vs. a mutual threat in the end. There's no way they can have a true "winner" in this matchup without royally pissing people off.

This is undoubtedly the most concise interpretation of Evangelion's Impact mechanics that I've ever had the pleasure of reading, but a single unanswered question comes to mind. Why did Seele task NERV to puncture Lilith with the Lance of Longinus? How could this in any way contribute to the Third I...

Christmas may have passed, but the gifts haven't finished yet -- I finally got annoyed enough at the phpBB "no astral characters" limitation, and made a work-around that lets us post the musical symbols relevant to Final -- 1d102 1d107 -- and as a side effect it also allows posting any &q...

^ I am surprised about Himiko Toga from My Hero Academia is third in this ranking. I thought she was not so popular, I was wrong. That is absolutely bizarre to me. The character holds no appeal for me whatsoever, and there are numerous other appealing choices in the show (Ochako's at least on the l...

With Asuka in particular. I could never understand why people thought she was obnoxious until I saw the ADV dub. Once I saw it everything clicked.

At least someone knows how to have fun. Better than those dipshits in California by a fair margin.

But EoE conveyed that message much better, without all the Asushin shipping bullshit and constant character bashing. That's why I get so frustrated whenever someone says that "ReTake fixes EoE" or "ReTake is better than canon," because the actual canon was able to convey the mes...

Went ahead and moved the tangent from the "which characters do you identify with" thread here As for my personal take on retake - I absolutely despise it. Poorly written, inconsequential shipping garbage that butchers characters left, right and center while stroking its own ego about how ...

Not films, film. We assume Godzilla vs. Kong will be released because it’s already done — they finished filming it before KotM was even released, so there’s no sense in dropping it now. I don’t think anyone has any illusions about seeing more Legendary Godzilla flicks after this one, though.

Akudama Drive: It started out as a decent cyberpunk pastiche. Now, seven episodes in, it’s gotten kind of screwy. Dunno if it can unfuck itself at this point, and I’m not even sure I wanna stick around to watch it try. But I’ll give it another episode at least.

Why is that even a thing? If we’re getting that in the next movie somehow it’s dead to me.

Time to throw out your headphones:

I honestly don’t know what to make of this, but it sounds super cool.
