(im a little disappointed at the differences between the set and the movie, especially those that shouldn't have been too hard to incorporate. still, best amputee character ever)
(i'm well aware that it's more Pacific Rim than Evangelion by this point but that won't stop me) so I picked up the Evo XL Machine a few days ago. Oddly, unlike Dragon Bolt, I don't have a lot of negative things to say about that. However, having dedicated myself to negativity in all aspects of my life, I did find quite a few flaws that stood out. Flickfires. Even worse, they feel tacked on, and trying to flick them makes the joint they're on move at least 50% of the time. The back is hideous
I was so busy trying to win something and so elated that I managed it that I missed what I actually won. I think I heard the name "Nuju" but I'm not sure. (I was capitanozakitano for those curious, the one who answered the Beware the Swarm question. I should really contact Six i think? or does he contact me?)
Ok, I've made an entry about Jurassic Park before, and that one was all about the dinosaurs and the inaccuracies therein (though I left out several things, such as the Velociraptors' wrists being incorrect; they would need to be broken to be like that) but now I feel it's time to post about why I don't like the film as a whole. Because while it may be fueled by dino-nerd rage, there's more to it than that. The message of Jurassic Park is supposed to be that man shouldn't play God and that the
the twist at the end of the Karda Nui arc would have been so much more of a twist if it werent for the fact that ever since 2005 Makuta popped up to say "all according to keikaku" and if not him someone else would come along to say "yep this is it this is makuta's plan" really the only thing that kept it a surprise was that we didnt know the universe was in a giant robot
I've been thinking a lot about Bionicle lately. I've been thinking of the potential it had, the joy it brought me, but sadly, also its decline into something I had a harder time appreciating right up until the unsatisfying end. One thing that bugs me the most, though, is what happened to Makuta. In the early days of Bionicle, everything was much more spiritual, much more mystical, much more intriguing. Obviously, as Greg's "Sizzle and the Steak" thing was all about, it couldn't remain that m
finally saw it. it was pretty good. Metalbeard was everything I hoped he would be. (I'm very disappointed in the ways Metalbeard's set differs from his movie counterpart, particularly the cannon array, which I'm pretty sure is much more stable in the movie design.)
Takadox might be getting a body and maybe even a little animation done. idk these arent for a kit or anything; I just haven't done a lot of spriting in years and felt like getting my sprite on.
Serious question here. Can we get them at least partially canonized by Greg Farshtey? The first episode is easy. Witch Doctor escaped in the Breakout, and we never really learn HOW he was recaptured, so the first video is clearly documenting this. I think it can easily be 100% canon. The second video is more difficult, as we see the entirety of Black Phantom's role in Breakout, so as far as partial canonization goes, I'm afraid episode 2 is squarely non-canon. Episode three is only partial
Not a good look at much, though that didn't stop me from catching things that rub me the wrong way. Horned tyrannosaurs? Two-headed pterosaurs? Yes, we get it. They're robot dinosaurs, you're Michael Bay, and you get to do whatever the heck you want in the name of Rool of Cule. Whatever. It's stupid, but whatever. Is that flapping metal on Crosshairs or whatever? Really? Flapping metal, just to give cool "trenchcoat"? You could at least have TRIED making it conceivable. Is that Megatron? A

Ok, yes, that's probably an awful idea. Squidbuds were a ripoff of someone else's Shadow Leech signature pet that somehow took off despite me being dreadful at pixel art at the time. Mostly the point here is to show off that I don't suck at pixel art anymore. I do still suck at mouths, though. God, those mouths are awful.
I realize I came off as confrontational and rude, and I now see the error of my ways. Ninjago is not, in fact, as bad as I said it was. I watched
, which made several excellent points (and I highly recommend you all watch it as well), and concede that I was wrong.
Welp, that's it for me. It was a nice discussion for a couple pages, but I think it's time for me to get off Mr. Ninjago's Wild Ride, because it's just going in circles.
the 2004 Creator sets, namely Deep Sea Predators, Prehistoric Creatures, and Titan XP, are the best Creator sets and from there they’ve only gone downhill IMO
