  1. Hey every-pony ^^ I know it's been a while since I last posted anything on the MLP Forums, but I do take a look at it from time to time to see what every-pony has been up to. I hope you're all doing well. before I start talking about what I've been up to, I'd like to hear your thoughts on the current state of generation 5 :o honestly, I think it's a bit of a mess after watching season 6. :adorkable: I watched it with a couple of my mates and I think they've just dumped WAY too much information for my simple brain to process. they really should've spread it out into 8 episodes instead of dumping it into 3 episodes. Will I watch it again? probably not. when it comes to Mark Your Mark, I feel kinda burnt out from it, but I'll continue to give Tell Your Tale a chance.

    I feel like the only character that's kept the plot moving forward is Zipp. the others (besides Misty re-uniting with her long-lost father Alpha Bittle) have pretty much remained the same. I really dont know what they can do to keep the show moving forward, let alone keep me invested in generation 5. the question I should be asking is which one do YOU prefer? Make Your Mark OR Tell Your Tale?

    Overall, I'm in a pretty good mood. ever since I got $320 from my parents as a Christmas Present, I've been deciding what to spend it on, and I'm happy to say that I got a couple of things on my mind ^^ they're releasing a Transformers Legacy Armada Galvatron in the near future as well as a McFarlane Toy BVS Batman, which I'm pretty excited about. We did get some breaking news a couple of hours ago. TOHO is gonna release a BLACK AND WHITE VERSION of Godzilla Minus One on the 26th of January for ONE WEEK ONLY!!! O_O this is supposed to be a JAPANESE ONLY EXCLUSIVE, but because of how well it did at the box office, they're releasing this to the rest of the world. This was something that I've been monitoring ever since it got released in japan earlier this month and I was HOPING they'd release it internationally. because of how well it did at the box office, they're releasing it to the rest of the world as a reward. ^^ I cant wait to go and see this movie again. :ticking: Call me crazy, but I am more excited for this than godzilla X kong.

    Oh, and I've got the daytona 24 to watch later this month. this'll be the international debut of the GT3 mustang. So yeah, a lot of things to look forward to ^^

      I abandoned the generation a while ago. Gonna see what G6 has to offer instead.

      Heh. "Minus Color". Nice. :D Did they also add film grain/noise? That trailer seems darker than how I remember the movie and the other trailers. Which would be nice on their part; make it extra authentic.
      Personally, I'm in no rush to see it again. However, if they made an English dub of the movie... :ooh:

      Storywise, I prefer MYM by far. I find the TYT art style cuter, though. G5 hasn't reached the heights of G4 for me (not that I expected it to), but I'm liking MYM a lot more than I expected after the movie (which I wasn't a huge fan of).

      I hope you enjoy the race! :yay:

      Have no fear. the Aztec Calendar and Judgement Day shall not come to pass. as for the moon that is "supposedly" heading towards earth...

      I believe Gojira has got that covered, so you've got nothing to worry about ;)

  5. Well, I just came back from the movie theatres a couple of hours ago and it’s time to give you my thoughts about Godzilla minus one. I’ve been really looking forward to this movie ever since it was announced last year. Tbh, I was never really a fan of the monsterverse. I dunno. There’s something about it that I just don’t like. I dunno. I just think it’s a lil too goofy / unrealistic for my taste + I’ve never been a huge fan of the monsterverse design, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about.

    Okay, without spoiling the movie for those of you who haven’t seen it, I think it’s a very depressing (in a good way) and tragic disaster movie. No question about it, the movie is very cultural. You’ll see what I mean when you go and watch it. This incarnation of Godzilla is by far the most aggressive and the most realistic I’ve ever seen on-screen. very animalistic. every-time I saw him on-screen sent chills down my spine. Absolutely terrifying. he had a ferocity I'd never seen before. The method they’d came up with to deal with the king of the monsters is…pretty interesting. In a way, it’s…pretty similar to the way they killed the original 1954 gojira. I love the reference to GMK. (if you know what I'm talking about, you get a cookie) ;) the way he charged up his atomic breath is...really unique. I aint gonna spoil it. you're just gonna have to see it for yourself. I absolutely LOVED the human characters in this movie. felt like entire nation was fighting against godzilla :derp: overall, I'm still processing my thoughts about this movie and where it stacks up against some of my favourites, but overall, I enjoyed it. :squee: If you havent seen it or you are on the fence, I highly recommend you go and watch it. this is the first JAPANESE Godzilla movie I've seen in theatres. :catface: I've said it before and I'll say it again: the Japanese KNOW how to make a Godzilla film. I'm sorry monsterverse / legendary pictures, but I PREFER the original creators of the big G. They KNOW how to make godzilla look terrifying.

  9. okay, so I dont have to wait that long. :D this'll be the first JAPANESE godzilla film that I watch in theatres. :pinkie:

    UMqNKoK.png

    that means it'll be released on the same day as the US :3 I was beginning to think they wouldnt release it here in Australia. well, better late than never. ohh man, I cant wait to watch this in theatres. I am SO HYPED!!! ^w^ the only downside is I need to avoid spoilers once it comes out in japan on the 3rd of November A.K.A Godzilla Day. man, that's gonna be a challenge :adorkable: other than that, I cant wait for november 3rd. (I love how they've turned this into an event) for the last two years, they released a bunch of short films where godzilla goes up against another kaiju, celebrating the 50th anniversary of that movie in the godzilla franchise. last year, we got godzilla VS Gigan and the year before that was Godzilla VS Hedorah. this year, it's Godzilla VS Megalon. If you can find them, I highly recommend taking a look at some of these short clips. they use suit-mation and it's really well done. :squee:

  10. Man, I got goosebumps watching this!!! :D


    I really do hope they make this the darkest godzilla movie, ever. y'know, I was having a bit of a rant about shin godzilla and how it had the potential of being the darkest godzilla movie if they'd skipped all of the political mumbo jumbo and just had its 4th form right out of the gate and those 'things' coming out of his tail pop up throughout the movie, turning it into a zombie apocalypse. not only would it made it more interesting, but it also would've made it more terrifying. it wouldnt just be the threat of godzilla they'd have to deal with, but they'd also have to deal with those godzilla-human-xenomorph-hybrids, and the only way they can stop them is to stop godzilla, BUT that's just me nit-picking. I've always been a fan of the more darker and serious godzilla films. that's why I enjoy watching godzilla vs destroyah and godzilla 1984. I've said to before and I'll say it again, and I may be a lil biased when I say this, but I always prefer the japanese godzilla films over the monsterverse. ohh man, I cant wait for them to release a subbed version of this. :mlp_icwudt:

  11. (Okay, I know I should've posted this sooner, but I was a lil under the weather.) :adorkable: well, that is it for my birthday. I got $220 from my mum, which is A LOT more than I expected. O.O this is certainly gonna help with some of the things I wanna buy. I already have an idea of what I'm gonna spend it on. :ticking: you ever heard of the expression: "buying back your child-hood?" well, that's exactly what I'm doing. :laugh: earlier this year, I bought Legacy Armada Megatron. I consider the entire Transformers Armada line-up to be the holy grail. :o this was the transformers I grew up. while my memories of the show are extremely vauge, the toys were a BIG part of my child-hood. I did recently go back and re-watch the entire series and I did remember there was an autobot that got severely injured and got re-formatted into a digger. (in case you're wondering who that is, it's smokescreen) well, I'm happy to say that was from armada. (I thought this was from energon / cybertron A.K.A the ones with the god-awful CGI)

    it just so happens to be the same episode where starscream has had enough of decepticons and he joins the autobots. so yeah, that'd explain why I loved armada starscream so much.

    (MAN, I cant tell you how many times I've re-watched this. starscream was a stone-cold bad-ass!!!) >:)

    but yeah, back to what I was saying. Normally, I get about $100 from my family, but this year, I got an extra $120. well, I'm gonna use some of that money to buy...Legacy Armada Optimus Prime. I never had a Super Optimus Prime in my collection. All I had was the cheapo, 'bendy' Prime. at JB-HI-FI, it's $155. I dont think I'm gonna get it any cheaper. well, that's okay, cuz I'm gonna go and buy it. If I'm gonna get myself a birthday present, I'm gonna get something that I'll enjoy. ^w^

    (I cant wait for them to release Legacy Armada Jetfire and Legacy Armada Overload to complete the look.) :ticking:

    ERTe9psUwAczWBD.jpg

    the other thing I need to get is the DLC for Scarlet and Violet. I've put off of getting it after hearing some of the issues about peoples save files. (I dont think they've managed to find the cause of it. I think I remember hearing I had something to do with the different forms of Villion and there a couple of reports that it was because they downloaded the DLC way too early) i'm sure whatever issues they had back then have now been resolved. I do need to get this. I've been itching to do some more shiny hunting for a while now. the reason why I stopped shiny hunting is because I already got most of the ones I wanna get and as for the ones that are still on the list, well...let's just say they're really difficult to get and I dont think it's really worth the extra effort.

     

    I still gotta leave some money so I can pay off the two Darth Malgus figures that I pre-ordered. he's only of only a hanful of star wars figures that I'm willing to buy TWO of em. the others are: chancellor palpatine from revenge of the sith, Obi Wan Kenobi from revenge of the sith and general grievous without the four-arm gimmick. I know they made some when episode 3 came out. I'm just surprised hasbro has not gone back and tried to make a general grievous that only has the two arms. 

     

    and if I still have any money left over, well...it's going to one of two things: either a diecast model (depends on the result of next months Bathurst 1000) or the S.H. MonsterArts Godzilla figure that I pre-ordered not too long ago. :) 

     

    Okay, I know it's well past the 13th, but my birthday aint over yet til we go out and celebrate at an all-you-can-eat buffet. this was something that was originally planned the weekend prior to my birthday, but my dad got COVID on the wednesday last week. on the very same night, my mum started vomitting pretty badly and then got even more sick as the days went by.

     

    she was originally planning to have it on the saturday, but there was a sudden change of plans on the Friday and she told me she wasnt feeling too well. the very next day, around 6:45PM she told me she got COVID. so yeah, it has been further delayed until the friday A.K.A today. that was until got COVID. yep. it f*cking sucks. got a negative result two days before my birthday. had a really bad head-ache (just like my dad on the wednesday last week) the day before my birthday, felt better on the 13th (idk about you, but I really do think 13 is my lucky number), and then got a nasty cold the day after. I'm still fighting it, but I am getting better. :) but yeah, back to the buffet. so yeah, we're planning to go next monday. HOPEFULLY, everybody should've recovered by then. *fingers crossed* :lie:

  14. Well, I just bought meself an early birthday present. ^^ in case you're wondering what it is, it's leader class G2 Grimlock. if you saw one of my earlier posts, I pre-ordered the shattered glass grimlock a while back. well...lets just say something happened to it. yeah, a couple of days ago, I picked it up from my local retailer and...I was a little bit disappointed. I dunno. I thought it was a lil too plain. not only that, the right hand got stuck when I was transforming it. I literally had to damage the plastic to create a groove in order to get it out. well, it left me with no choice. I literally spent a solid 15 mins + trying to get it out, and I wasnt about to break my nails, trying to get it out. After that, I had to use sand-paper to make it nice and smooth. I was very un-happy that I had to damage the figure just to I could get the figure to transform. I mean, I paid $95 for this figure and I was really looking forward to it. the next morning, I had a bit of a brain-wave. I was trying to figure out a way to get rid of my shattered glass grimlock, but then I remembered, I could just exchange it for another figure. I know that if I have my receipt and I act quickly, I can get it done. 

     

    so what I did was I put it back in its original packaging and I made it look like I never took it outside of the packaging. I mean, how are they ever gonna know? + the part where I used sand-paper to make it nice and smooth is concealed when ya transform it, so they're never gonna see it.

     

    ...and what do you know? it worked!!! :laugh: the last time I had to exchange something was almost 10 years ago, when I was trying to get a DVD of season 1 of MLP FIM. (I had to go through THREE DVDs to get a copy of Bridle Gossip that did not freeze when it got to a certain point of the episode. MAN, it drove me insane.)

     

    I was extremely lucky they had one in stock. I thought I bought the last one. turns out, there was one underneath it. oh well, I guess I bought the 2nd last one. At the end of the day, I'm just glad they had one in stock. the funny thing is I originally thought this figure was gonna come out before the shattered glass version.

     

    What's weird is, there was NO pre-order for this figure. it came out the same day the shattered glass grimlock was released. well, I figured since both of these figures came out on the 18th and I really wanted a Grimlock in my collection, I may as well get the G2 version. I wanted something......different. I did not want to take my chances, trying to get another one. if there's ANYTHING I've learnt, it's to NEVER buy any transformers / figurines in open-window packaging.

    631483-Product-2-I-638169486157245704.jp

    I feel A LOT happier that I got this thing instead of pushing my luck to see if I can get another shattered glass grimlock with no damage / defects. :)

    654268-Product-2-I-638253268207125931.jp

    EDIT: ...and he's perfect. I just took him out of the box and he has NO defects. ^^ I've been fiddling with this thing for a lil bit and he's NOWHERE NEAR as stiff as the shattered glass version. man, I should've bought this thing in the first place ^^

      But I am glad you got what you wanted. :lookup: Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

  15. For the longest time, I've been saying to myself how cool it'd be if they made a Godzilla figure that can transform. After taking a look at the transformers wiki out of pure boredom, (I was actually taking a look at the shattered glass toy-line. I just love the concept of it where they've flipped the script. the Decepticons are the bad guys and the Autobots are the bad guys. yeah, this is where I was looking up all of their counter-parts, and that's when Trypticon popped up in my head. I was wondering if they had a shattered glass version of that) I totally forgot bout Trypticon. For those of you who dont know, Trypticon's design IS based on Godzilla.

    TFLegends-Trypticon.jpg

    MV5BMTQ4MTg1MTE5Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMDY4

    I only just noticed that when I was taking a look at Shattered Glass Grimlock, which I pre-ordered not too long ago. I bought this as an early birthday present. (...and yes, my birthday is next month, for those of you who are wondering) ^^

    631483-Product-0-I-638169486041784697.jp

    631483-Product-1-I-638169486091109437.jp

    (...and here's the comparison)

    71LmJvtk3GL.jpg

    Come to think of it, I think this is the closest I'll ever get to owning a Trypticon in my collection. the only reason WHY I pre-ordered this is because I am LITERALLY getting TWO for the price of one. in robot mode, I get Grimlock and in dino mode, I get Trypticon. (technically speaking. I mean, he's got the same colors as Trypticon) I think I made the right choice pre-ordering this. I am a Goji fan, and unlike Trypticon, (who transforms into a...city? It's not very convincing) this thing transforms into something worthwhile. well, I guess I got the transforming "Godzilla" figure that I always wanted. This was one of those things where I was hesitant about getting it at first, but I'm so glad that I did ^^

     

    I remember watching a clip from Rodimus Primal's youtube channel where he went over Trypticon and...yeah. he mentioned the design was based on Godzilla. that's the other thing I remembered. (...and that was a while ago) I also remember wanting this figure of grimlock, but it was sold out. So...yeah, I just killed two birds with one stone and...I'm pretty happy that I pre-ordered it :mlp_laugh:

     

    I wonder if Hasbro will ever make an MLP figure that transformers :ooh: that's something I'd like to see :catface:

    1. Samurai Equine

      Samurai Equine

      Dragonzord/Dragon Caesar is based on Godzilla. :devious:

      Hi there, my shining friend. I'm good, thanks. You? :squee:
      Germany is a very cultured country, with 6,200 museums, 820 theatres, 130 professional orchestras, and 8,800 libraries.

  18. Well, I wasnt expecting this!!! :o O.O

    Link: https://tvblackbox.com.au/page/2023/06/22/nickelodeon-moves-to-free-to-air-as-more-kids-content-departs-foxtel/

    When I was taking a look at the kids channel, I noticed that Nickelodeon and Nick Jr has been removed from Foxtel. At first, I thought it was because some streaming service bought it out. (just like what happened to National Geographic and the Simpsons a couple of months ago. f*ck you Disney) :dry: Turns out, channel 10 has bought the rights to broadcast it LIVE AND FREE. that's awesome. I think this is the first time that a free-TV network managed to buy the rights / buy something that was originally from a paid subscription. I didnt know that was possible, considering the viewer ratings on FreeView. 

    Nickelodeon-logo.png

    I have...mixed emotions about this. the bad news is I wont be able to record any of the stuff that is on there since it is NOT on a channel that is on foxtel. (it was previously on a channel called 10Shake. it's one of the many clones that they have on Australian television. It had a couple of cartoons that were originally on Nickelodeon)

    the good news is once I've cleaned up my room and we get the Yaris, and we're able to find a Sony TV that is the same size as the one that my dad bough from Aldi all those years ago, I'll be able to watch it anytime I want. this is the news that I wanted to hear :laugh: I've been recently watching Nickelodeon just for the hell of it and there's a couple of cartoons that have caught my interest. as a matter of fact, I watch it more than Cartoon Network and Boomerang. I am starting to notice that Foxtel is starting to fall apart, and that is really disappointing. National Geographic is gone, The Simpsons is gone, apparently, MTV is gone and if you wanna watch the V8 Supercars, just create an account on Kayo instead of paying $50 a month. there might be a few rounds where they wont broadcast the sunday race, but at the very least, they'll broadcast the saturday race LIVE and you can just watch the highlights of the sunday race. there's also a couple of rounds they'll broadcast LIVE and FREE on 7, so yeah. there's that. UNLESS you wanna watch something like NASCAR, baseball, darts, Formula 1, Rugby A.K.A FAKE football or something like that, then yes. you need FOX SPORTS. 

    but yeah, back to Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. for the longest time, I have been complaining about the lack of entertainment on FreeView. the only thing that is on there is re-runs and ads, ads and more ads. there is nothing new. that is what has ultimately put me off from watching FreeView altogether. (especially the adverts. at this point, I dont even know why they exist) Prior to this, I was hesitant about clearing up some space in my room so I can make room for a flat-screen TV. the only other channels on FreeView that I watch are 9GO!, ABCME, 7mate, SBS and all of their counterparts. that's it. 

     

    9GO! broadcasts cartoons in the early hours of the morning. they used to broadcast cartoons in the afternoon, but they've stopped doing that, unfortunately. sometimes, they'll put a Pokemon movie on the weekend, just for the heck of it. it's mostly re-runs of the pokemon anime and stuff I've seen on foxtel. not really much to see other than maybe care bears and the latest version of the yu-gi-oh anime. there's also that 9Rush channel that just recently opened up that's got A LOT of automotive related stuff on it. might be worth checking it out every once in a while. 

    ABCME has A LOT of...'average' cartoons on there. most of 'em I've never heard of. what's cool is they do broadcast anime on friday nights and between 12PM - 2PM on the saturday. I like watching anime, but the stuff they're broadcasting is not something I'd be interested in. 

    7mate has some funny junk on there sometimes, like Hardcore Pawn, Housos and on rare occasions, Tattoo master, and the occasional movie every once in a while (they only recently started doing this).

    SBS is probably the one that I watch the most. it's got A LOT of interesting stuff on there, mainly documentaries and some really colorful movies on there such as Asterix and Obelix, Kung Fu Hustle, some Bruce Lee movies if you're lucky, some martial arts movies and a lot of underrated films.

     

    Bottom line is, I just want a channel on FreeView that only broadcasts cartoons 24-7. I might be a grown man, but I'm still a kid at heart and I'd rather watch cartoons than any of the junk that people watch nowadays. 

    EDIT: okay, taking a look at the Freeview TV guide online...yeah. it's been hit hard. Idk whether or not they'll make some significant changes, but before Nick was removed from Foxtel, it had stuff like Baby Shark from 2:30PM to 3:30PM, The MiddleMost Post (when they were broadcasting new episodes) from 1:30PM to 2PM), The Loud House from 12:10PM to 2PM, and again at 4:15PM to 5PM, The Casagrande's from 11:10AM to 12:10PM, and the two of them from 7:30PM to 8:30PM, and in the early hours of the morning from 3:25AM to 4:25AM. now, it's been significantly reduced. Baby Shark at 8:30AM, one episode of MiddleMost Post at 2:30PM and one episode of The Casagrande's at 4:15PM. it's not until you get to the weekend where you get double episodes of The Loud House and The Casagrande's between 12PM to 2PM. It is a bit of a bitter pill to swallow, but hey. At least I can watch it in my room. that's a plus ^^ I just hope it stays on FreeView, and NO greedy, corporate streaming service gets their hands on it.

    y'know, it kinda makes me wonder if Cartoon Network will fall through, considering the state that it is in right now :ooh:

      Is FreeView like live TV? As in you can't watch a show you select, you just watch what they're playing at the moment?

      pretty much :) 

  19. Y’know, it’s really difficult to find any kind of Zipp Storm merch, or any G5 merch for that matter. :o I have been recently out and about, looking through the toy section and most of the toys that are on the wiki…are unavailable. I’d like to get a simple, 3.75 inch figure of Zipp or even a funko pop, but…it seems they’re either sold out or they haven’t made one…yet. I don’t know whether it’s because G5 is not as popular as FIM (I will admit: the plot for generation 5 is all over the place, especially for new-comers. You start off with the movie, then a number of episodes of tell your tale, then a special, a couple of episodes after that, ANOTHER special, etc. I hope the MLP wiki makes an update so it makes it easier for them to keep up with the plot) or the simple fact that they’ve never brought it to Australia (I wanted to get a Guardians Of Harmony Discord statue back in the day in order to complete the set, but it never came to Australia…for some reason), but I’d really like to get hands on a Zipp figure / plushie.

      If it were me, I'd go for Prime. Then again, if they are giving Armada Prime a Masterpiece treatment, I wonder if that will open the door for more knock-offs and third-party versions of him. :mustache:

    3. SolarFlare13

      SolarFlare13

      @Samurai Equine wait, REALLY!? :o THEY'RE MAKING A MASTERPIECE ARMADA OPTIMUS PRIME!? O_O

      EDIT: I just saw the 'IF'. MAN, if they made a masterpiece of ANY of the characters from armada, I'd be VERY interested :ticking:

      ...and yeah, it's probably better if I go with optimus. if I get the SH MonsterArts, chances are, I'll just keep it in the box in order to retain its value. with Optimus, well of course I'm gonna take it out of the box. :catface:

      I honestly don't know anymore. I thought Hasbro was going to make a Masterpiece Armada Prime, if they haven't all ready. But the one you posted still looks great to me. :ButtercupLaugh:

  20. Just came back from watching the 2nd match for the Phillipines in the FIFA Womens World Cup and WE BEAT NEW ZEALAND ON THEIR HOME TURF!!! THAT IS EXTRAORDINARY. O.O DID NOT THINK we'd score a goal / win against the home team. (the game was hosted in New Zealand). the first 10 mins were pretty boring, but after that......I dont even know what to say. it was an absolute THRILLER. That header was AWESOME!!! :sneer: they dodged SO MANY BULLETS to get their first win in the FIFA Womens World Cup. I am extremely proud of them. :laugh: (I am quarter phillipino from my mums side) :squee: even if they dont win the Womens FIFA World Cup, this is HUGE!!! when it comes to international sport, the phillipines are a small fish in a big pond. the only sport we've made a name for themselves is boxing, thanks to Manny Pacquiao. this was WAY better than the first match for the Matildas :ticking: if they keep playing like this, there's a chance that they could get into the round of 16 :O

     

     

  21. I know what I'll be getting for christmas :ticking:

    F04BrXvWcAUCll-.jpg

     honestly, I did NOT expect em to release an SH MonsterArts only a couple of hours after they gave us the full design, and I wasnt expecting that til a couple of months later. :o it just shows you just how confident they are with the design and I love it. it puts my mind at ease knowing what it's gonna look like. :eager:

     

    It is based on the 'Godzilla: The Ride' design, which has not been seen that much outside of japan. (that was my first initial reaction when I saw it)

    dfkqaam-506ac772-2c86-4e25-a13b-ba01e806

    I think it's a great design. it looks like a more modern version of the Heisei Godzilla. I am happy that we're getting a traditional / classic design of the big G and I like how they're playing it safe. there's only a minor difference between the ride design and the one they're gonna use for the movie, and that is the dorsal plates. they're A LOT longer than 'The Ride' design. Other than that, they look exactly the same :) 

    Oe63GJQ.png

    the bumps on its head reminds me of the heisei goji, and the overall proportions reminds me of the legendary goji.

    LKTIuyI.png

    actor-godzilla-heisei-88404_large.jpg?15

    I really like the shape of the dorsal plates. to me, they look like dead trees, which really adds to the sense of dread I get when I look at it. when it comes to the design, I think they nailed it. it's a very nice, clean design. there were A LOT of people online that were saying that the 'G' we got last year to promote the film was gonna be the actual design they were gonna use for the movie. I thought they were crazy and if that's what they're going for, it's gonna look really weird. so yeah, that's why I'm happy they're using a pre-existing design instead of something new.

     

    I really like the setting for this movie. it is set between 1945 - 1947, right after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. you can tell this is gonna be a very dark and serious movie. I just hope this is the beginning of the reiwa era and they make a series of films, just they did with the showa era, the heisei era and the millenium era. I dont really count the Godzilla Earth trilogy or Godzilla SP as part of the reiwa era. I see them as their attempt at making an animated series. 

     

    I remember staying up for the reveal. on their twitter page, they trolled us that the official announcement / the title of the film would be revealed at 5AM AEST. (I had a friend of mine translate the japanese text) I tell ya what, it was totally worth it. I love how they called it minus one. I think it's a GREAT title. IMO, it is HEAPS better than Godzilla X Kong, which sounds like a really bad fan-fiction between the two kaiju. the title really sets the tone for the movie. Japan has only just witnessed the horrors of the atomic bomb and it's about to get a whole lot worse. I really like the difference between Legendary Pictures and Toho. Legendary want to focus on the more 'colorful' side of the character, whereas Toho wants to create a more darker and serious godzilla film. they say the movie will be released in the US on the 1st of december 2023. I really hope the movie gets an international release, cuz I'd LOVE to see it in theatres. to be brutally honest, I am more excited bout this film than Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire. 

     

    So, what are your thoughts on the new godzilla design? :O me personally, I like it. I just hope it gets the reiwa era up and running ^^ (...and maybe make a solo film for the big 5? A.K.A a solo film for Rodan, Mothra, Mechagodzilla and King Ghidorah. I'd really like to see that) :3

      I like the design. When I first saw it in the trailer, I mistook the design for the model that was used in the recent American Godzilla movies. But pausing and double checking helped me to confirm that was not the case. Seeing him in his full glory, he does look awesome. :squee: The fins are great. He looks jagged and muscular. Japan never skimps on the detail.

      I am a little sad that we won't be getting a sequel to Shin Godzilla, but I have nothing against what we're getting. :coco:

  23. Y'know, there's a part of me that wants the fandom to make a fan-made MLP game based on generation 5. at this point, they've shown off a lot of different places and me personally, I'd really like it if it was an MMO similar to Legends Of Equestria. as far as MLP fan-made MLP games based on generation 5 is concerned, I havent seen any of em made for the time being. it is something I'd really like to see in the future :O what do you guys think? I know that we recently got an MLP G5 game for the switch. the gameplay was rather simple. for those of you who dont know, this is the part of the fandom that got me into My Little Pony. well, besides the show and fan-made youtube clips, of course. :derp:

    just to kill two birds with one stone and so I dont have to make another post, I am happy that the ford mustangs are getting an aerodynamic upgrade in the next round of the V8 Supercars Championship. well, it's about time. So far, chevrolet has won every single race this year and the fords have been struggling. y'know, I think it's kinda funny how we're on the right end of the schtick. in 2019, the ford teams were on the receiving end when it comes to parity. they made the wing smaller and added a NASCAR lip spoiler to the back of the ZB commodores. now, we've got that on the gen 3 mustangs :O 

    RSC-Townsville-Speedcafe-Aero-008.jpg

    they've also added a SLIGHTLY bigger lip spoiler and different wing plates.

    RSC-Townsville-Speedcafe-Aero-015.jpg

    RSC-Townsville-Speedcafe-Aero-013-1200x8

    I've been doing some comparisons with the old spoiler and...yep, I can see the changes they've made. I really hope this serves them well from this point onwards. Chaz Mostert is the ONLY Ford that is in the hunt for the championship and he's had to fight for it. HOPEFULLY, Ford can get their first win of the season. At the time I'm posting this, he is 179 points away from the championship lead and 69 points behind Van Gisbergen. I really, REALLY hope he gets ahead of that d*ck-head and puts him down to 5th in the championship. Speaking of Chaz Mostert, he WON the 24 hours of Spa in his class / in PRO-AM last weekend ON DEBUT. that is pretty impressive!!! well done mate!!! :laugh: I wish you all the best for this weekend :eager: 

    MercedesAMGCustomerRacing_IGTC_03-scaled

    but yeah, that's the reason why I haven't been posting that much V8 Supercars content. it's been a bit of a dry spell for the blue oval. well, that and the fact that it's not exactly relevant, but hey. this is something that interests me and I know there is multiple other users that like to talk about other different sports that interest them. =P I know there's one that likes to talk about F1 and posts the results of the race. :3

     

    while I'm still on the topic of V8 Supercars, here's a comparison between the OLD spoiler and the NEW one. :) 

    OLD...

      WINNAH!!! Anton De Pasquale has won race 17 of the V8 Supercars championship. this is ALSO the first win for the gen 3 mustang. well, it's bout time. I was a lil confused when he pitted on lap 15. considering this was an 88 lap race, that was WAY too early, but he had genuine car pace and he made it work. when the safety car came out for debris on the race-track, I thought this was gonna hurt him. it didnt. overall, he had a really good car and he managed to make the tyres live. I remember Chaz Mostert in the previous race, saying the mustang is not very good on its tyres, and yet, somehow, shell-v-power managed to make it work. I'm REALLY happy for Anton. Idk if the new aero package played a role. that is something we'll need to see in the next couple of races. :laugh:

      de-pasquale-race-17-podium.jpg

      It was pretty disappointing to see Mostert get a DNF, but then again, he was the one who rubbed the wall in the top 10 shootout. they had to do a speedy repair, and unfortunately, he was only able to go around for a couple of laps before he had to bring it back into the pits. Now, he is now OUT of contention for the championship, which is really sad, cuz he was Ford's last hope to win the championship, and he made a simple mistake. if he did not rub the wall, he could've easily finished in the top 5. he had a really strong car. :O In yesterday's race, he finished on the podium. Oh well, it is what it is. I'm sure he'll bounce back. one way or another. I still say he's got the strongest mustang in the field. if anything, he's the only one in the ford camp that's got consistency :) 
      Speaking of Mostert, here's a nice lil re-cap of his class win at the 24 hours of spa ^^
      Link:  https://www.speedcafe.com/2023/07/09/mostert-habul-experience-highs-and-lows-motorsport-can-deliver-at-spa-24/
      Another thing to take out of this weekend was the amount of abuse SVG got from everyone: in race 16 A.K.A race 1 of the townsville 500, he got shoved out wide in the opening lap thanks to will brown and on the safety car restart, Mostert FORCED his way down the inside and got past him. today, he qualified in last place because he screwed up on the last corner and at the start of the race, declan fraser pit maneuvered him. I'm glad that prick got a taste of his own medicine and I'm glad he did not win the race. there are a lot of rumours / speculation that he might go to NASCAR at the end of 2024. I hope he does. I f*cking HATE him SO much. 

  24. I'm just gonna leave this here... UwU
