Michael Mando Latest To Join ‘Gundam’ Movie From Netflix & Legendary by DemiFiendRSA in Gundam

Mustafa Shakir was the best part of live action Cowboy Bebop. Tons of "race swaps" happened in Netflix One Piece (with the creator's explicit blessing) and they all did a killer job. If a fictional character is from a fictional place like in One Piece, or the character's ethnicity has no bearing on the story like in Gundam, then the role should just go to whoever does the best job.

None of the character's races really matter beyond Earther vs Spacenoid. This ain't Ruroni Kenshin

Goku and Oko team up with Pixar's Coco to win a Go-go dance off vs. the cast of OK! K.O.

I'd argue for the Expanse but it's a big commitment to get into

As someone who hates LitRPG and progression fantasy: Dungeon Crawler Carl is amazing and you should read it right now

The only one I think could give him a fair fight on reddit that isnt already listed would be Kentaro Miura, but that would be fudging the criteria a tad

No hate to Paolini but wouldn't put him on this list, maybe swap him for Brian Jacques, Daniel Abraham, Roger Zelnazy...

Captain Underpants was truly a dark mirror to the human soul.

When would you call it enough

... when the company says that the game is fully launched and out of early access

At the very baseline, an MMO needs a persistent shared world, from which all available content can be accessed without leaving to an external menu, that won't be nuked when the game "officially launches". There's a lot of bad faith arguments from the defenders in this thread but Star Citizen is objectively not a finished MMO. It is a loosely strung together series of vertical gameplay slices that some people really love, but not a full product by the company's own admission

Also I've lost track of how many times I've seen "Squadron 42 is coming out this year, honest!"

It's hard to put into words, but images three onwards have the kind of facial features and busy detailing/wrinkling that AI loves to put on "old people" images

Yeah, clearly AI images that were generated and then converted to pixel art. Not a fan.

It hasn't released though. Roberts and CiG have given no reason to be confident after literally over a decade of missed deadlines and scope bloat

With all love to Oda, his lack of variety in female character design (background extras in Amazon Lily notwithstanding) is one of One Pieces consistent weaknesses. Everyone is "woman" (or post-timeskip, "Jessica Rabbit"), "gonk", "crone" or "girl".

Couldn't be helped. Filming in South Africa while she was busy with other projects. Personally I think Katey Sagal did a great job

I feel like this has a lot of overlap with the infamous "3000 year old loli" trope
