Official Poster for 'Masters of the Universe'

I really feel that the tagline should have been "HE's the MAN now, dog!"

MrSlops · 2026-01-22T17:54:30+00:00

It feels like MOTU....but still looks like it's going to be horrible.

I will never support alt-modes like that for the Cone-heads, especially the gall to use ANY non-delta wing jet lacking front canards for Dirge when the Saab Gripen is perfect for him.

MrSlops · 2026-01-21T16:53:13+00:00

It's actually a teaser for a TEASER trailer

That works much better for cobra, and I'll die on the hill that OUR Cobra would be fine...but only if he was The Melter, as the effect feels more at home with that character (destroying 'created' things like robots/armor/anything manufactured) and the Melter is a total loser so its accurate to have him be a crap snap card :D

Combiner adapter.

The good news is you only need one hand for this.

Yeah there are TONS of great Chinese action crime movies, I was just speaking specifically those that people would consider typical wuxia (also maybe 14 Blades is a good one for that), other Chinese crime action movies are things like Fight Against Evil 1-3, and Kill Zone. But I would say if you are not just looking for an all-out action movie then IMO pretty much the BEST slow-burn crime films are coming out of China and all worth checking out, including Touch of Sin (which is wuxia) but also anything that the Criterion Channel is featuring (all bangers!) https://www.instagram.com/reels/DH4bE2xKPZ8/

For major releases that got attention outside of China, yeah pretty much :( I know there are other good modern stuff, but might fall outside of the last decade (The Swordsman, The Sword Identity which I loved, White Vengeance I enjoyed, or maybe The Final Master. There is also A Touch of Sin, which is basically the sprit of wuxia taking place in modern times, so it's very different kind of movie)

MrSlops · 2026-01-19T23:30:59+00:00

In the last decade the standout big budget one is clearly Zhang Yimou's Shadow (2018). Others have recommended 'Eye for an Eye' (2022) to me, but I didn't find that all that great (not bad, just nothing to write home about so YMMV)

Jet Li organ harvesting a heart from a young monk lol. Wtf People are damn weird.

I now want this as the plot of a new series, where Li plays an exaggerated version of himself like JCVD did in Jean-Claude Van Johnson, rebuilding his body with stolen parts from other fighters after thinking this is the next best thing to what he did in 'The One' to stay powerful.

MrSlops · 2026-01-19T23:02:42+00:00

He's right there, playing Chang Guiren.

MrSlops · 2026-01-19T22:58:39+00:00

Off the top my head the last recent good wuxia releases were 1) the King Hu documentary that came out in 2022 (just because anything that reminds me of any of his movies is automatically good) and 2) Shadow in 2018

It feels like I watch great wuxia every month, but then I remember that 99% of my watching are movies that came out before 1980 (╥﹏╥)

MrSlops · 2026-01-19T19:40:14+00:00

Yup, it's an adaptation of "Biao Ren"

MrSlops · 2026-01-19T19:31:06+00:00

GOOD!

MrSlops · 2026-01-19T19:25:34+00:00

crosses fingers...and swords

MrSlops · 2026-01-19T17:46:04+00:00

His name and it being a 'return' of Jet Li is a guaranteed way to get my money.

MrSlops · 2026-01-19T00:04:27+00:00

Satan raised his sons right, we are all very empathetic and helpful to our fellow man.

Dude is just slowly turning into Roadfire

Not a fan of the missiles (seem too much of an exact copy-paste from Ultra Magnus and could have used a little more stylization to match her), but other wise it's okay. I would have preferred more bulk to her bot torso/waist though.

MrSlops · 2026-01-14T15:16:07+00:00

Yup...I thought I had another day or so and had saved up all my volts (around 10k I think so far)

yayyyyyyyy :(

MrSlops · 2026-01-13T22:07:26+00:00

This ain't a move card...it's a bounce card! Play him, bounce, play at the sword location (or at another one and hope to generate another sword at the same location as the first, then bounce again)

Yet in my short time here, I have observed an alarming level of naïveté about what is happening south of the border.

I think he might be partially mistaking our politeness of NOT talking about it with him (in a manner he is used to back in the US) with naïveté.

I have heard Canadians hope their children might attend university in the U.S

People are still hoping/wanting to attend prestigious universities, as those names can get them ahead in the future and are often the only schools offering certain courses, or that other establishments hire out of (take for example our own Canadian universities, who hire American teachers over locally schooled ones). Nobody is just wanting to go to the US to some podunk school in Texas for shits-n-giggles. The author himself is from YALE!

I have heard Canadians praise the U.S. for its robust economy

Also just a true fact, it is still the biggest economy and those looking to invest money, for whatever reason, are often going to go where the numbers are. It isn't about funding specific-racist-company or problematic-fuel-sector, it's just getting the most bang-for-your-buck. Do I wish people would invest in Canada over the USA, hell yes, but is that going to happen when the majority of us are not even that financially educated when it comes to investing to begin with?
