I put "women" in quotes because I am aware not all women are that way, nor can a negative stereotype (even one reinforced through bitter experience, as with mine) truly capture the diversity of real human beings nor does any of it necessarily apply to any particular woman. Also, I am aware that much of the signals and…

"Previously completely seaworthy ships do tend to have an uncanny ability to unexpectedly sing en route to the scrap yard"

I was specifically responding to the posted comic in this thread, which is very harsh and judgemental to say the least.

This one, the SDF-1 Macross, could take them all. In fact, if you formed them into a tight enough formation, it could one-shot them all AT ONCE.

All the way to heaven.

There were other reasons?

Yep, that's Splinter of the Mind's Eye. And there's nothing creepy about it, it's a completely alternate story written before Empire was conceived. Vader was NOT Luke's father in that story, and neither was Leia his sister. Those plot twists would not be thought of until much later. Han Solo doesn't figure into it at…

Splinter of the Mind's Eye was damned cool, and it was actually an alternate story script for a low-budget Star Wars sequel that was planned in the event that the first film didn't make enough money to justify a more expensive film. Many of the elements in the story were designed to be shot on a modest budget,…

This would be how a WWI game would go:

Hadoken!

"When you play a Nintendo game in 2013, you expect certain things."

Umm that's exactly right and completely feminist. You DO NOT "need" to do any of those things. You DO NOT "need" to bow to social pressures from anyone, male or female, on how you should live your life. How is that wrong to say?

NP all the way.

It's official name, according to the Word of God at Toho Studios, is "Zilla".

If you can't innovate, litigate. If you can't compete, legislate. It's the standard refrain of established interests protecting outdated and obsolete business models. It's anticompetitive, monopolistic behavior and should be smacked down with heavy fines whenever it's attempted. No company has the right to corner the…

This is a thing of retrofuture beauty. It could have been on the set of 2001 or A Clockwork Orange and fit right in. It's late Space Age at it's finest.

I join you in absolute hatred for WW's outfit. I've said before many times, there are strippers who would look at that ensemble and say "nuh-uh, I'm not wearing that" and that she'd actually be more dignified going into battle naked than in that joke of a costume.

Again, I don't see the difference between Hulk Hogan as "one dude's persona" and Spider-Man as the same thing. Yes, I know other faces have been put behind the masks of famous icons, but as I said I've never agreed with it. I don't want someone else as Batman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, whomever. The farthest I'll…

I'm sorry, but I don't buy the whole DC-style "anyone can take the mantle of any hero" concept. Can anyone else but Julius Irving be Doctor J? Could someone not Terry Bolea be Hulk Hogan? Can someone else pick up the whip and fedora and be Indiana Jones? No. Not just no, but hell no.

No, the whole point of the mask is it protects the identity of Peter Parker, Spider-Man. Again, I accept no substitutes. Especially not the abortion that was the Clone Saga, and neither are the three alternate reality versions (Morales, Ultimate Parker, and O'Hara) legitimate replacements for the original. For that…
