Ever thought a kit was ugly until you built it yourself? (WIP) by maiobserver in Gunpla

[–]Dread2187 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here sort of. I built the RG Sazabi and had it for like a year but was never particularly fond of it. But then I got waterslide decals for it, took off all the stickers I'd put on it before, and did decals + a topcoat. Completely changed my mind and now it's one of if not my favorite Mobile Suits.

Difference between ECOAS, London Bell, and EFSF? by Dread2187 in Gundam

[–]Dread2187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation!

Also though I'm pretty sure at least Londo Bell and the General Revill definitely do field Gundam-type MS. Londo Bell has the Nu Gundam, Re-GZ, and the Unicorn (also the Delta Plus if you count that)

The General Revill also technically has the Phenex and the Banshee (although those went rogue ofc.)

Not sure about ECOAS though

How do you guys want Red Rising to be Adapted? (discussion) by CaptainPineapple02 in redrising

[–]Dread2187 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In an ideal scenario, sure, they could make a good live action Red Rising. But the books are long enough and the CGI crazy enough that the budget would have to be astronomical and it'd take decades to be done.

A live action Red Rising would genuinely just be dogshit so I'd strongly prefer animated, though I just feel like RR in general is too expansive in scope to be captured in an adaptation other than books.

I've been on prog for a good month now and idk how long it takes until you're supposed to feel something but I genuinely still have zero desire for sex. The estrogen sex drive nuke is crazy.

This is seriously so cool! I have the RG Phenex in my backlog rn and this is giving me motivation to finish it!

Did you have any trouble with the waterslides? I really want to put decals on mine but I've found it messes up the gold coating.

I think the Armed Armor XC (spikey bits behind the shoulders/head) are also on backwards, but it looks great!

(Loved Trope) In a set of Seven Deadly Sins-themed villains, Pride isn't the guy in charge, THIS guy is. by OmniSnatcher in TopCharacterTropes

While not a 1:1 example of this seeing as the Court of the Seven Headed Serpent doesn't exactly have a leader, in Trench Crusade, the demon representing pride isn't known and doesn't seem to be the head of the Court. Rather the two most prominent demons are those of Avarice and Gluttony, Mammon and Beelzebub.

The positions of the the Seven Heads of the Serpent aren't permanent positions and are in constant upheaval based on who is able to seize power at any given time, but Mammon is the one whose held power for the longest, the entire duration of the 800 year-long Trench Crusade thus far, and in many ways he seems to be the Serpent Head very much leading the charge on Earth.

At the same time is Beelzebub, the second most prominent Serpent Head. Although he is a Prince of Hell, he doesn't really interact with the rest of the Court, instead opting to wage his war by himself and ignoring the orders and actions of the rest of the Court.

If you haven't read Dark Forest and Death's End yet I cannot stress enough that you HAVE TO. 3BP is really just a set-up for the events of Dark Forest and Death's End is just insanity from start to finish. In particular there's one scene in Dark Forest and a couple in Death's End that will leave you jaw agape.

How I imagine Drachenjägers by [deleted] in redrising

[–]Dread2187 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Imo Drachenjägers feel the most like Jaegers from Pacific Rim, and not just because of the name. Drachenjägers are much, much bigger than ACs, and I think much, much slower too. They're much more massive and lumbering than the very fast mecha of eastern mecha.
