How many Star Destroyers does it take to destroy a star?
No no, they're Destroyers that fly among the stars.

It doesn't matter how many you have, or what class there's nothing to indicate any amount of any of them can output that kind of damage. You need a Death Star with something like a billion times the mass of a Star Destroyer and a unique weapon (well, almost) just to destroy a planet, never mind a star. If you convert a planet in to a station and install another system you can drain a star though. It's not quite destroying it, but it has much the same effect.

When I was just a kid and hearing about Star Wars, I always wondered why the Empire would need to build a Death Star to destroy planets if they already had Star Destroyers. It wasn't until I took a naval class in college that I realized that the term "destroyer" came from the naval parlance "torpedo boat destroyer".
It's funny how misleading that term is to the layman, when in fact destroyers are among the smallest of warships (second only to frigates).
How do you think the Landscape of pop-culture would have turned out in the west if Gundam somehow was brought over and became a huge hit when it first aired?
Would it have become a huge hit if brought over with a straight translation?
Yeah. Shit like transformers is popular too. There would be Zeon emblems everywhere. Many more Hollywood Gundam movies with shit CGI as well.

There'd be live action adaptations of UCmovies.
So im marathoning this and was wondering how /m/ do u guys think mst3k is?
It's good.
I wish I had more good mst3k fanart.
>>15082632
It's pretty good.
I hope Joel won't screw-up the revival series for Netflix. But I'm pretty confident he won't.
0080 as the beginning of where everything went wrong with Gundam.
>OYW sidestory/retcon
>speshul gundam model that's better than the RX-78-2
>zeon dindu nuffin
>zero fucks given about maintaining visual consistency with the OYW aesthetic (Kampfer is the worst offender)
This is when Gundam started moving back and pandering to nostalgia for old stories instead of moving forward to create new stories.
>>15081663
> retcon
There's no retcons in 0080
> Zeon dindu nuffin
There's none of this either.
>>15081663
Having a sympathetic Zeon pilot doesn't equal "Zeon did nothing wrong." Also 0080's character-focused story has nothing to do with nostalgia pandering. The only point you could make for that is because it takes place during the One Year War. In other words, it isn't a point at all.
Stop being a contrarian faggot.
Why has there been so much rampant baiting involving 0080 in the last week or so?
What the FUCK was his problem?
I don't know who that is but I thought it was fumitan from the thumbnail
I'd tell you but assuming you haven't finished the series, spoilers.
>>15081414
His dad was a useless con who didn't contribute to society which shamed his family. Also does psycho pass belong on here? Aside from maybe a bot like the thing in RoboCop I can't think of anything mech-related
What did Eden do wrong that Ghost in the Shell did right?
Why is the former never remembered and never adapted, while the latter is held up as the height of manga and anime cyberpunk?
>>15080582
girls not cute enough
author not famous enough
not published during the high-budget animation bubble that would have allowed it to be adapted by a famous director into a ridiculously high-budget movie that's distributed widely enough to make a lasting impression in the minds of mainstream audiences and create a stable consumer market for later adaptations
otherwise they're about on the same level
>>15080613
>girls not cute enough
You take that back

When it went Evangelion and when that old man shota killer cyborg appeared.

If you're new, you're gonna fuck up. Don't worry! If you're experienced, don't make the new people worry!
>Why won't anyone answer my question?
Try being specific, especially about your materials and process. Post pictures whenever possible; even if the kit/part looks bad, you are more likely to get help posting pictures.

Rules:
Pick any 1/144 or 1/100 kit from the Graze family (Pic Related), and paint and customize it. As far as customizing it, I'm going to place a limit on that. The limit is 50% additions to the kit.
To define 50%, look at it like this, you could take a Graze Ritter and replace the arms (including shoulders), legs, and backpack and I'd call that 50%. I'm not counting handheld bits in that. If you're unsure of something please ask in IRC, the thread, or email.

Thought of getting a Gallus-J kit from 1986 and improving it with ballden arms. I know it needs glue but does it have any articulation aside from something I'd find at a 99 cent store?
How long before mechs become usable to the military?
https://www.engadget.com/2017/01/01/korea-mech-robot-first-steps/
When humans need to fight at close range in space.
>>15073806
When /k/ leaves
A good /m/an knows that first, robots like we imagine will never be used by the military, and second, that militaries are already /m/ owing to the machines they use
What kind of weaponry would they put on something like this?
/m/ loves Concrete Revolutio, right? I think it's a brilliant series. To the untrained eye it might just seem like random madness but when you look closely at it you realize it's intricately crafted like a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle. Everything is intertwined flawlessly. And on top of that it's chock full of retro mecha throwbacks so I'd expect a mecha fan to love it even just for that.
>>15070771
S1 was fantastic.
I dropped S2, because it was so bad.
>>15070771
/m/ had a lot of people shitposting what little threads it had when it aired so everyone went to /a/ to talk about it. Personally I loved it, definitely among my favorites.
>>15070771
This post feels familiar somehow. It's almost like I've seen it before or something.But yes, I did enjoy the show.
What constitutes a good pilot suit?
>>15064963
Allowing the pilot to breathe poop while in space comfortably.
>>15065071
Are you sure you worded that correctly?
>>15065071
you might want to take a moment to read that out loud
This is the guy that killed an entire new franchise.
>>15058645
You're wrong!
Because who has killed this franchise was the generic stereotyped harem heroine called Fumina Hoshino.
everything in try killed the series. on paper Try should have been better than s1 but it wasn't
terrible/non-exsistant character development, boring predictable fights, terrible rivals, terrible writing, the entire Full cloth fight, not as fun with cameo/refrences as s1, etc
It gave us toys so I can't really hate it much for that.
