The Black makes more sense to me as a prequel, showing how much damage the kaijus did toward the end of the war as parts of civilization breaks down. The timeline should not advance past the movie as otherwise it would undermine the gravity if what happened there.
The monsters will initually inflict heavy losses taking overall unarmed civilian populations by surprise, but once people start packing guns and chainsaws and swords they will become much more manageable. Lots of people will die every year but it won't be a civilization ending threat. The...
Oh...
Well. The truck would probably be my greatest weapon, running over orcs. Maybe have some guys strapped in the truckbed shooting into the orcs or throwing pots of tar and lighting it on fire. Maybe affix scythes to the axles like those scythed chariots. Just gotta hope I can find or...
I choose Middle-Earth. I might not get cool magic powers, but it is the only setting in which there is beauty worth fighting for.
I choose to be wealthy. I would have liked to have kept my familiar home, with the heating and air conditioning and shower that makes me nice and clean...
We're already seeing this with the motorbike hobby. Boomers held on to their motorbikes long after they stopped riding them because they hoped that the motorbikes would be an investment and become antiques that they could sell for a lot of money later on down the line. Now lots of boomers are...
The Boy and the Heron - 6/10 (fine) borderline 7/10 (good)
New Ghibli film by Hayao Miyazaki. High production values but doesn't have any super spectacular scenes. Has a forgettable soundtrack which is a first for a Miyazaki movie. I was surprised to learn that Joe Hiashi actually composed the...

Great visuals and music, likeable characters, engaging enough story (not the best GBF story compared to the gacha's main story or some events like Seeds of Redemption but not a snooze either), the character building is interesting, and some of the missions are...
Earth almost always seems to have a very light Starfleet presence in terms of big ship count (not counting small shuttles or civilian passenger liners). In TOS and TNG, whenever the Enterprise visits Earth, it is usually the only ship seen there. In the TOS movies you see a couple other ships in...
The Varl from The Banner Saga had the right idea. A tower shield to keep spears and arrows out of the way and groin, and a nimble sword (and also form a large shieldwall for smaller accompanying soldiers, protecting them not just from enemy humans but also enemy giants too). They don't need...
"Why do people hate baby boomers?". Then you get a bunch of baby boomers who say "I am really good! I didn't do any of these things!". They are proving the point about the baby boomer's ego, but more than that, they don't understand the difference between individuals and groups. They don't get...
I agree with almost all of your points, but to me Shin was a lot more palatable than Mikazuki was. Mikazuki didn't even feel like a protagonist in his own show, being a sack of potatoes who just stood behind Orga who did all the decision making. Mika doesn't really act as a squad leader either...
I thought it was meh.
The 3D CGI mechs looked awful. The backgrounds were photorealistic and boring, and the simple 2D characters overlaid ontop with a lot of filters smeared over looked bad too. The Legion mechs and the Giad uniforms looked good in illustrations, though. Music was forgettable...
