"You're ALL still ENSIGNS?"

Nothing really grabs me in this round, sadly. ---Dave

Wiccan, not Wicken. I figure Teen is more likely to be Blackheart if anyone is, with Rio being the deliberate red herring (Green Herring?). What'd be really weird, and frankly WAY too much for the MCU to dare, would be if Rio was Nick Scratch. (Prior to the almost-nookie of ep 4 I'd have been...

I think at this point, "it's never Mephisto" is the running gag. Rio is also being teased as potentially Mephisto's child (Blackheart) based on one line of dialogue, to the point that the Marvel Wiki has her linked under Blackheart's name. ---Dave

Remember, Agatha is centuries old, even in MCU reckoning, he wouldn't have had his own room regardless of age. Nick's room in the first episode was mixing her past with the tropes of the bitter police detective, which might call for memories of playing catch, etc. I'd need to rewatch Agatha's...

Did similar with Legacy Energon Galvatron. ---Dave

And now, robot mode. On top of the purples, I used light orange and white to fake the glow effect of the t-visor. ---Dave

A lot more. No UV flashlight pics, turns out the silvery gray plastic also glows under UV, which kills the effect. The larger areas are in Color Shift Purple Flash (purple to blue) paint, most of the other panel lines are in neon purple. Robot mode to come once I finish it, I focused on...

Okay, looks like Alice Gulliver is based on a relatively recent (2016) character, "The Wu." And Witches' Road was something from relatively recent comics as well (the explanation for how comics Agatha got returned to life and de-aged). ---Dave

We have a Picard thread, please use it for this discussion. ---Dave

The fortuneteller's name comes from a one-off antagonist from 1973 who summoned the Serpent Crown and ended up dead by the end of the story. Jennifer Kale they similarly took the name and not much else. Aubrey Plaza's character and the child of the rockstar seem to be entirely new (or at least...

A friend of mine who is not a patent attorney but pays attention to such things suspects that Nintento's patent might be broad enough that World of Warcraft would be violating it. The actual limits of the patent would most likely not be fully determined until the lawsuits are done with, and...

It's interesting how Richard Branson is his neighbor and he's talked to Elon Musk on the phone, but he's on the billionaire toy of Geoff Zebos (owner of Orinoco). This suggests that whatever happens is going to go well beyond the satire of Branson as Karen from the HOA. (Or that Bezos is a lot...

The Garlond motorcycle (from Island Sanctuary) is a better fit for leathers IMO. :) Especially the L96 Mad Max gear. ---Dave

This was put in the game to drain off Gil from people running around at 100 million or so. :) Much like the solid gold stuff available in Eulmore at the Luxury Vendor. I'd probably want to grind for Vanguard armor before getting that, so I could have my glam match my vehicle. Matching the...

The music during the big AT Field punch scene (which itself had some similar composition to the "Atavis hand coming down") was very FLCL-y, at least to my ears. ---Dave

If Grandus is made, he will be neo-G1 style...but he should have an option face with a gap in his teeth like Mike Tyson. And if he doesn't, five will immediately show up from 3P companies. ---Dave, now off to mow his lawn so he can tell kids to get off it.

Can haz Mecha-Gamera (Automatoise). (Yes, it spins in flight.) ---Dave

The first three seasons felt planned, a solid coming of age story with a satisfying ending...the rest have felt like "I guess we need to deal with this mystery box and some leftover ideas." Like, they set of Aaravos as this big cool sequel villain without actually having any real plans and...

Okay, finished Dawntrail MSQ last night. The final zone had a lot of echoes with Ultima Thule, in terms of construction and story arc. ---Dave
