    The Random Image Thread

    The term for that is "room tone," and it's not that it's subliminal, it's that every location has a different background sound (HVAC, reverb, exterior noise, etc), and the dialogue recorded on-set is going to have that same room tone over it (so if you have to edit around dialogue, it becomes...

    Anime

    The original series is actually better-looking, but only adapted the first (two?) novels. The new series looks flatter (budget, modern shortcuts/schedules, etc), but has better acting (same actors, but everyone is years more experienced and has pre-existing chemistry), and as of the last few...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Ridiculously hard for Focus Groups and C-Suite executives. Get an actual writer/creative involved and it becomes easier.

    Reimagining Quintessons

    Now I'm imagining some Quintesson logistics worker wondering why they're shipping them in robot mode when they can fold up.

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    Part of the problem here is that, as of today, EarthSpark is just EarthSpark. The show, game, and storybooks all seem to be in the same continuity, without any contradictions. (The toys, of course, don't really need universal stream designations, because it's routine now to get multiple toys of...

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    -------- 1122.11 Alpha (the series premiered on the 11th day of November, 2022, per the wiki). (I'm comfortable with considering EarthSpark [and other G1-influenced modern series] as part of Primax, but I'm open to counterarguments.) Come to that, the cluster names don't even really matter...

    The Taxonomy of Toy-Based Fiction, or a further look at Continuity Families

    Sounds like the real problem is less the streams than AVP. Personally, I prefer streams to define a multiverse, as opposed to what Marvel and DC do --"Earth-16" is utterly meaningless unless you already know which one that is, whereas "Primax 514.3 Gamma" at least gives you an anchor and some...

    To clarify, that "animated project" is from Studio Trigger, which should be a household name to anime fans. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-08-29/studio-trigger-teases-transformers-40th-anniversary-promo-video/.214906

    Reimagining Quintessons

    That's basically how I do it in my fanverse, with the addition that "Primus" (meaning "first," remember) is the name for the planet's AI (he "created" the Primes by giving them free will in exchange for serving as his [guiding] hands), with other factory worlds having their own designations...

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Some of you have never played a video game with optional auto-aim, and it shows. Just point the Targetmaster in the general direction of the target and let them adjust the barrel to line up the headshot for you. The problem for me was always the Headmasters, not because you have two...

    Star Trek General Discussion

    Generations and First Contact did. In fact, Voyager was specifically prohibited from doing anything with the Borg until FC came out (note that the Borg appearances re-use the new big-screen-quality costumes made for FC). Insurrection doesn't have any direct connection to Voyager, but does take...
