Since that Voltron remake is going over well, here's a question; of all series, why Golion?
It's a one-off super robot show that's never been held in high regard in Japan, yet here there have now been multiple remakes and people don't seem to want to forget it, despite, by all indications, there being nothing very special about it at all. Why is this?
Were a series like the original Mazinger to have been brought stateside, would the results have been the same? Mazinger was localized very accurately for South American and it was popular and still hasn't been forgotten. In the Middle East, it was Grendizer, in the Philippines you had Mazinger again as well as others like Voltes V.
So why Golion?
With the understanding that things like "super" and "real" robot don't exist, why shouldn't something like Xabungle, Dougram, etc. have come to the US?

Also potentially relevant, whhat can be said knowing that Mazinger ran for 90 episodes (it's pretty good!) as opposed to Voltron's ~50?

you not liking it doesn't mean it isn't special or whatever
The west (or the states, at least) doesn't have the same appreciation for giant robots so it's easier/more profitable to just reboot a series that has already succeeded and proven profitable than to get a new one going. that's why Pacific Rim flopped and the last original mecha cartoons we got off the top of my head were Symbionic Titan and Megas XLR. Meanwhile Transfromers gets a new series every year and movie 5 is incoming
I don't think Netflix has much in the way of toy deals so that may or may not be a factor but a Voltron set is under review by the Lego Group, so if that pans out we can expect to see that on the shelves early next year

Hey hey, I never said anything like that!
These are just the facts as far as I know. It really wasn't seen as special, if I'm wrong please tell.

Will the new Marvel videogame universe be the end of fucking console wars here?
You will have now have your SM, Doom, Galactus, F4, X-men, Deadpool all of those in a videogame shared universe. Each game will be probably 10 hours compared to the shitty 2 hours from each movie.
Can we finally move past give back the x-men rights once you get a cinematic colorful x-men game?
I sure hope so.

Captain America can Spartan kick trucks hard enough to send people flying, pull military choppers down, throw motorcycles through armored hummers, and over power Spiderman. He's stronger than Ironman in the movies.
Pic unrelated.

No. "Peak human dumb Batman" Cap is pretty boring. Making him clearly more than an olympian adds a lot to the character.
>>
>>83782338
But he overpowered someone that caught a speeding SUV that's some higher tier strength.

>>83782433
He didn't overpower Spidey. He outfought him. C-class superstrength + genius fighting skill > B-class superstrength + amateur fighting skills + spider sense - awe

That suit is unf. God I hate when they draw a weird fucking face on his mask.
you know, I'm sick of male characters and female characters being forced into a relationship if they even share a bit of screen time with each other. This movie made me happy they could finally have a male and female be best friends without fucking.
Oh yeah, you guys and Byron want to ruin that..

It's our biological function to have our minds wired to focus on anything that leads to the eventual action of reproduction, even with a simple spark of shipping characters, where it only grows from there.

I dunno, but does anyone have any idea if this book is dead or not? because its been quite a long time since the last issue.
fuck, Walter Simonson puts out an issue of Ragnarok quicker.. (theres actually a good chance thats not true. kek)

Multi-dimensional. Having experience with actual women and their lives so you're not just guessing how a woman would react. Knowing that they can be human too but at the same time face different pratfalls than men so you can't just write a genderless man in her place

Complexity, believability, compelling-ness. Same shit that makes good male characters.

What happened

He's not showrunning anything in the future. Just writing some episoes of Shimmer and Shine and writing a World of Warcraft YA novel.
He was gonna do a show last year, but it got cancelled.

>>83781183
I wanna see that Space Ghost series he was gonna make a while back.
Otherwise, I could see him do some good with X-Men or Pacific Rim.

No. That's the most boring, predictable, pandering and outdated Superman origin. It reads like a bed time story that nobody needed to hear again. The Donner movies still exist, you know.

Question: Who here thinks corporate synergy is bad, and is putting a stranglehold on comic book writers, keeping them from writing good stories for the sake of profit?

Is synergy being forced upon writers or are writers such hacks that they include things from adaptions because they haven't read old runs? I mean look at black Wally, apparently they did that on their own.
