Re: Metal Gear Solid

As much as I love Kojima, i still feel bad for how he treated David Hayter with MGS5.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2

Yeah, its nothing really special, but at the same time, I don't think it needed to be anything amazing. I like Nintendo first party software, so I'm glad they have more power to do stuff. And it makes a lot of the older switch 1 titles perform much better is a plus. The only thing I wish they would ...

Re: Your entertainment wishlist?

Is what you're describing something Criterion does? I know Wall-E recently got a criterion release, itd be great if they were able to do that with the older stuff.

Re: Comic Books!

I haven't read many comic books since the Krakoa ended, but I'm really enjoying Ultimate Spider-man and Ultimate X-men. Kinda disappointed to hear all the ultimate books are ending in #24?

Re: How do you feel about NTE? + Rank the movies!

1)3.33 2) 3.01+1.01 3)2.22 4) 1.11 I don't think I like the rebuilds. My objection for them is that I don't really think they justify their existence until the 3rd movie, since most of it is retreading old ground without the depth or exploring new angles. So yeah, I think that's why I am putting the...

Re: I don't think NGE and EOE message entirely holds up in the modern day.

Honestly the idea of needing to love yourself before you can love others is dated. Eva came out during the height of the self esteem movement yet establishing a correlation between self esteem and wellness is tenuous at best. I sometimes wonder if this is why they wanted to do the rebuilds. Do you ...

Re: Anno/Studio Khara's Space Battleship Yamato Movie

Although the project sounds interesting, I'm just kinda annoyed that Khara is rarely if ever embarking on an original IP. Anno himself hasn't directed something based on an original IP since Evangelion in 1995. Thats so bizarre. i havent really delved into studying Anno as a person, but you'd think...

Re: The End of Gainax, RIP 1984-2024

Yeah its unfortunate.... howver I've gotten over from the love of Gainax so it doesn't hurt that much. I am grateful that they Gainax divested themselves from NGE and Anno got creative control. I'm kinda curious how that business deal went through because I know Gainax was going broke...but merchand...

Re: games like evangelion

Absolutely shocked no one mentioned Xenogears.

Anime styled game, mechs, tons of reference to the Christian mythos and philosophy.

It came out in the 90s as well so I get the exact same kinda vibes from it.

This was a fantastic show and really helped to rehabilitate the Cyberpunk IP. I'll never look at the moon the same way again.

Re: How do you feel about Shinji ending up with Mari?

She needed way more scenes to justify her existence since her inclusion took t...

Re: How did Lilith get on the cross?

idk, they build, maintain, and manufacture EVA units and Lilith isn't that bigger than those units... they probably have some crazy powerful cranes and pullies down there. Seeing how they have skyscrapers that withdraw into the ground i don't think thats the most impressive feat of engineering in th...

Re: Whats next for evangelion?

Ah, it's hard for me to acknowledge franchise exhaustion when there was a nine year gap between 3.0 and 3.0 + 1.0. But maybe I'm not considering what it was like in Japan.

Re: Whats next for evangelion?

I'm really surprised we haven't seen any new projects yet. To me, the ending to the Rebuilds was kind of gesturing we could see so many new alternate realities and creative takes on the world and the characters.

Re: Could Asuka and Rei have ever been friends?

I haven’t seen or read any of the spinoff/AU manga, but yea I’m sure they could have been…but I think Rei would need to have a normal upbringing. I’m not sure what they’d have been able to bond over?

Re: I don't think NGE and EOE message entirely holds up in the modern day.

I don’t think I’d go that far. I don’t think thats the main issue of the series, GRANTED I think that certainly a message and I do think it kinda rings hollow. If you go into the show knowing about the crazy spin-offs, merchandising, memes and common perceptions of the characters, I think that parti...
