This one isn't as easy to answer, and it brings up my biggest peeve with the xbox 1.

You have to install every game to the hard drive. And if it's a disc based game, you still have to have the disc in the drive to play it.

It takes an inordinate amount of time to install a game from disc.

Typical xbox 1 games seem to be approximately 40gb in size from the disc, but then you have to add on mandatory update files.

Depending on how many games you want to have immediately available for play, it fills up fast.

Looking forward to seeing what they come up with

You've been hooked. Resistance is futile.

I'm sad the X-men are going away.

Wait - what? O_o

SW is not even a reboot. It'll still be 616 but with some characters from other universes. Now there are only 22 left and when SW happens, there'll be just one. So no,I don't think the X-Men are going away. Maybe they'll get a couple of old/news faces back/to join, but other than that, if the 616 characters survive, they'll still be the same characters. It's not a case of altering their past or anything, 616 Kitty will have the same origin, but after SW Ultimate Kitty may be staying there as well, with her Ultimate origin.

Granted, "x-men going away" is speculation, However:

My impression of the "meta" of (slash "business case" for) SW was to streamline all of the messy continuity into something more closely aligned with the cinematic universe going forward. Like, what happens in the movies is what's happening in the books. Also, kind of a big eff you to Fox, who are apparently not planning to relinquish rights to those two legacy pieces of Marvel history, Fantastic Four and X-men. With Fox talking about doing an X-men tv series now, I would not be at all surprised to see Marvel decide to torch the X-men outright during Secret Wars, move forward with Inhumans as the new Mutants for the MU, and maybe even sell off the X-men IP to Fox entirely. It seems obvious from the direction in the comics that the X-men are increasingly irrelevant to events in the MU as a whole – they've almost become a niche universe anyway. It's either continue to spend money making books that don't align with the overall company business model, shelve the franchise out of pure spite, or recoup the significant value of it to reinvest in their core properties.

This isn't about what makes sense in the stories, this is pure business. And Disney is nothing if not disciplined in business.

This sounds like it is all speculation. Sources? thx

Yeah, I'm not entirely enamored of the cartoon's aesthetic. The comic book character designs are more appealing to me. I'd even jump on the live-action stuff.

In the new season (like right now, actually), the turtles go thru some changes (won't spoil for anyone who is not caught up-to-date) & their appearance changes. Raph sort of looks like that now. He's got fire-claw things like that. The turtles in their new gear look less cartoon-y & more like that comic design. You should check it out. I wouldn't be surprised if DST makes 'mates of those.

Do you have a season/episode number to look for? thx

All future criticisms should focus exclusively on what has been seen in the trailer. Tangential criticisms based on statements of the director, actors, producers, and any other parties officially associated with the criticisee will be allowed only in the event that the criticisor cites to such original statement in its complete, unabridged form. Failure to comply with these terms of criticism will render the critique invalid. All criticisors who feel their criticisms have been unfairly invalidated hereby agree to enter into binding mediation to settle any and all disputes as to the validity of such a criticism.

Sounds overly critical

Edwin Jarvis is Howard's butler in the MCU and is on the Agent Carter show.

I would guess Tony named the AI after him.

Yup, human Jarvis plays a big role in lil Tony's life, causing him to base techno Jarvis on his memories of human Jarvis.

Back on topic,

I think the minimates would end up looking a lot like X-Men movie mates.

Really, MovieMars?

Really?

Overkill much?

That's what mine looked like! MovieMars +1 for safe packaging!

Fantastic 4 = Chronicle 2

I keep seeing people say this, and just don't get it. Why do you equate the two? Because...same director?

Without seeing the movie, I don't understand how this new FF can be characterized as "Chronicle with FF slapped on." Because...same director? That's just not objective, and can't be taken seriously.

And if it does turn out to be Chronicle-esque, so what? As has been noted, the FF have been around for 40+ years. There have been a lot of different takes and styles of stories written with them. Some of them have replaced members, even the whole team. Some fun, some serious, the costumes have changed.

What the best FF stories get right is that, regardless of who is in the group, is that this group is a FAMILY. The boundaries of science are pushed into DISCOVERY. And that discovery leads to HIGH ADVENTURE.

If this movie does that, but happens to be shot like Chronicle (which from the trailer it isn't), how can it not be an FF movie?

I didn't know you were roomies.

I wish I didn't live in the alternate reality that I do, and could see the world as those who have posted before me since Mr. Mona stopped by.

The reason it doesn't look like the Batmobile to me, especially with the pictures that MPL has added, is that there are four raised points in the picture. The outer ones are taller than the inner ones. If it was the Batmobile from the show, and that MPL has shared, the inner points would be taller than the outer ones.

I'll be happy to be wrong!

I read the article and did not see a "tease of a Batmobile." Could you point out the verbage that you are referring to? I may have missed it.

Unless you meant the silhouette picture. That doesn't look like a Batmobile to me, though. thx

Out of interest are the foot holes too small or are the stands pegs too big ? Specifically.......... can other Minimates fit onto the stands supplied in the box set ?

Thanks

Foot holes are too small. Other minimates do fit onto the stands supplied in the set.

My golins are lost at the post office.

My boxset arrived from Amazon yesterday. Really cool; the elf is my favorite. Lots of great work went into her. The warrior and dwarf are pretty limited with their chest block covers, and they cannot use any of the stands that are included because their foot holes are too small for the pegs.

You could redeem the codes that come with the figurines online and play on PC. Software is free.

Came for a "Get a Kluh" joke, left disappointed.

I guess nobody has a kluh.

It sounds a lot like DC's "Convergence"

Happening at the same time

Coincidence? Or Conspiracy?

You Decide!

Tower Records exclusive Silver Surfer

You bastard, I actually had a tower records and I never saw this there.

I wasn't even a huge Silver Surfer fan; but it was the first Marvel 'mate, so I bought it because I wanted them to make MORE.

Guess that worked out.

Tower Records exclusive Silver Surfer

My goblin order is still stuck in Georgia.

On the other hand, the box set is available on Amazon. I ordered it from there and canceled my pre-order with Paizo. It is cheaper, too!

I'm glad that the Iron Man armor being mostly gold colored was a 1 film anomaly at this point.
