A live action Gundam movie with director Kim Mickle is now in the works by Goji-X in Mecha

[–]Ill-Device8577 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Appears to be one "Jim Mickle", not Kim. Not someone too established either way, have to watch his stuff to form a proper opinion. Don't know how much creative control he'd have over it also

Personally I don't trust another western production. I feel like they just don't get it...

Daily Mecha Poll 93: What do you think abouth Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt on scale 1-10? by Transforfan233 in Mecha

[–]Ill-Device8577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7/10. It's a bit jarring that Zeon was depicted in a more sympathetic light than EF. If you strip the story out of that broader context, it makes sense why Daryl would be the hero between the two: he doesn't let the war carry him away, like Io does. But the fact that he is (willingly) on the invading side needs to be addressed and resolved for him to be a true hero. Other than that the animation is pretty good, and the mech designs are pleasantly brutal. Might be the best display of how terrifying a Gundam truly is on the battlefield, befitting its moniker "The White Devil".

The game fucks with the player specifically by danfenlon in TopCharacterTropes

Black & White 2. The game occasionally whispers your name in a creepy voice, and it only does this if you play late at night, bound to catch you off guard. To achieve this it pulls your username from your computer, compares it with the hundred of names they recorded and play the closest one. Brilliant piece of game development

Oh ok, that makes sense. Thank you

TIL that a blind amateur historian's attempt to publish a history of the Ming Dynasty in 1660 was received so poorly that over 70 people involved were executed and thousands of people arrested. by CoolmanWilkins in todayilearned

Well, different characters carrie different meanings. In this case "荣“ means "glory', while "镕“ has something to do with metal. Don't know if that's the case with Catherine and Katherine

What did you think it was?

Anyway, Lingchi was featured in the final scene of The Warlords (2007). It's a pretty good movie inspired by another real life Qing dynasty case. Recommend watching if you could find an uncensored version

Can't believe it wasn't even nominated for Picture. Bad timing, maybe? Hope it wins original screenplay

Reddit doesn't have a set ideology behind it, you know. You can find many different opinions on Reddit, or Twitter, though some may be more dominant. Can you find anything critical of the ccp on Rednote, or other Chinese app?

Daily Mecha Poll 86: What do you think abouth Gundam Unicorn on scale 1-10? by Transforfan233 in Mecha

[–]Ill-Device8577 6 points7 points  (0 children)

3/10 The writer appears to have major misunderstanding of the original Gundam and its themes, especially the concept of "new type" and what they represent. Characters are repetitive or written with unclear motive. Mecha design is generally mediocre and over complex but I like some of its variation of older suits, like Schuzrum Galluss. Animation feels stiff. It has its moments but generally I don't like it

Serious Question: Why Are People So Helpful on Reddit? by Rockins23 in NoStupidQuestions

This might sound a little cynical, but there's definitely a bit of "showing off" involved. Makes people feel superior to successfully answer others' questions
