And for many, the last time they saw their fathers was when they were boarding giant machines of war.

I wonder if this type of mech genre represented missing father figures of a post war Japan.

Even before that:

where have I seen this before?

oohh..

Sweet. Greg Pak is great and Takeshi Miyazawas is great. This basically sounds like Voltron meets Gundam, but with a nice twist.

Mister Mxyzptlk vs. Dr. Manhattan? That sounds like fun!

My personal view is that Moore loves superhero comics and he kinda of hates that he loves them so damn much. He’s perpetually angry because he can no longer bring himself to work in something he loves, which is why he’s always bitching about those who do. Especially someone as mediocre as Johns. Somewhere in the back…

I admit to being someone who never could get into the Watchman hype after trying hard to do so. That doesn’t mean it’s not the level of excellence most others feel. I can’t get into Greatful Dead or Springsteen. Doesn’t mean I can’t recognize their respective creative genius even if it’s not my flavor.

Manhattan was moved to go back to Earth because of his feelings for Laurie and as Mr. Oz told us, Superman just merged the timelines literally by love alone. Rather than some ridiculous attempt at a fight, methinks the ending will be Manhattan being reminded of his humanity again by love, albeit someone else’s.

I get that Superman is nigh invulnerable, but Dr. Manhattan is practically a deity. This is going to be a lot of talking with very little conflict, isn’t it?

Yeah seems like manhattan could kill him(or anyone for that matter) with the snap of his fingers. 

Fila never put a dent in the market (and if anything, they owe their ability to even be available to Grant Hill to Bjorn Borg and other tennis stars of the late 70s and early 80s). BBB will continue to be a glorious dumpster fire. If LaVar thinks that he has a gold mine on his hands, he can produce, market, and sell…

Nice analysis, and I don’t disagree with any of it, but I’ll offer another side:

When a Kotaku editor post a arguementive controversial statement, I’m always glad another editor will come in and state how they disagree, keeping the site about people’s opinions. I mean rationale should point to that this is not the whole team’s opinions but I like that someone can but in to disagree.

Is it important for a movie that has magical curses and singing candelabra to stick to historical accuracy?

In fairness, the Revolution didn’t become a giant pile of severed heads until late 1792 and especially 1793/94. Belle and Beast might even support the Revolution in its first stages like much of the liberal nobility. I could easily see them in the vein of Antoine Lavoisier or Phillippe, Duc D’Orleans. Both of whom…

I feel like you’re really glossing over that near 30 year time jump. Belle and the Beast would be well past middle age, and their kids would be adults.

Wrong.
