  1. I agree that Megas XLR can defeat most other mechas, but I seriously doubt that he can defeat Ideon(a robot that killed all life on his universe), Getter Emperor( a combining Mecha the size of planets, that when combined creates excess energy equivalent to the Big Bang, can control time and gets more powerful over time) and Mazinger Zero, the final form of Mazinger Z( the origin of the sub genre called Super robot) is so powerful that probably no one can defeat it, just one person can convice the conscience of Mazinger Zero(not the pilot), because normal Mazinger Z is a mech with a pilot but when he turns into Mazinger Zero, the mech gains a conscience.

  2. Magnas powers remind me of The Tick. I had a discussion about the ticks power and we settled on his power is to be as powerful as he needs to be to make the fight suspenseful. If hes fighting say a dog hes weaker and on par with the dog and the dogs bites will affect him however if hes fighting a giant robot he can deflect some bullets and lift impressive amounts.

  3. I love this show. Guy Fieri driving a car mech is amazing.

    Never read Player One or watched the movie, my sister did get the book for me but I think I’ll need a couple packs of beer to get through it.

  4. All this talk about infrastructure being protected in a giant robot work reminds me of Daiguard, which is about a bunch of paper pushers at an insurance/defense contractor company inherit a mothballed giant robot project and have to balance using the robot and having to reimburse the damages. Its really good.

  5. i've got a bit of a personal theory for Future Trunks and why he keeps going back to a future that's completely destroyed. He usually uses a time machine to go back and forth, but let's just say for argument's sake, that he DID change "the future" …. So a new timeline has been created…. But what if he only knows the coordinates for his own original timeline? What if the reason he keeps going back to a destroyed world is because he doesn't know how to get to the new timeline's future, and he just keeps going back to their world and solving new problems that he'll never see the benefits to.

  6. I remember reading excerpts from Ready Player One, and it looked more like a bibliography for a research paper than an actual work of fiction, due to how often the little bit i read was like "the Hasbro Transformers™ Optimus Prime Ultimate Edition!" Or some such bullshit.

  7. 17:45 One of my favorite examples is the one where Coop gets in a game of chicken against the main Big Bad, and as the Big Bad is gloating because Coop's friend Jamie made Megas dodge first, his proximity warning goes off, whereupon he just crashes into the building that set off the warning.

    The building's sign says "Jersey City Gunpowder, Shrapnel, and Ball Bearing Factory," but if you want to read it all, you need to either master speedreading or have the means to pause at the scene with the sign, as it only stays fully and clearly visible for about 1 second before the Big Bad crashes into the building, causing a massive explosion that blocks out the sign.

    Just the idea of such a building, such a factory existing is so dumb, and yet it is also so perfect.

  8. I hate that it didn't get more. It got cancelled for a BS reason, basically it got cancelled cause it wasn't reaching the audience that CN wanted.

  9. The transformation theme somehow ended up as the sports segment theme on CNN Headline News and I've literally never found another person who knew what any of those things were or cared.

    This is exactly what I would do if I found a Voltron robot at the Pick-n-Pull, so, "this is made by people who *know*" could not be more accurate.

  10. Just putting some extra tidbits out because I thought they were neat:
    Megas XLR was not actually supposed to be made. It was one of a number of cartoons featured in a voting competition, and would have cost WAY more to make than the others. Yeah… the people spoke, and we only got as many episodes as we did out of obligation. Like, aside from the intro theme, literally EVERY other piece of music was from a stock music collection. On that note, the two pieces I think you'll be most excited to listen to are "Viper Room Rumble" (the song that plays at the end of each episode where Coop states the "lesson" he learned (and also… I wanna say Sports Center? I SWEAR I'd heard the song be used on ESPN, because again, stock music), and "Short Hair" (the song that plays whenever it's time to bring the pain). There's 2 versions, one of which has lyrics!

  11. Eh, Gurren Lagann is a poor example. I definitely think of Kamina and Yoko before the robot, probably because Simon is such a non-character that it seeps into everything he touches.
    Also, the buildings getting destroyed aren't random. 9/10 times it's a building belonging to Pop TV, as a jab at MTV for shitcanning the director's previous show.

  12. another detail about pacific rim is a thing called the Miracle Mile where it’s the last line between the kaiju and the city’s so the jaegers are supposed to engage the kaiju there before they even get close to populated areas

  13. Another thing that i love about Megas XLR are definitively the monster of the week. They are so over the top, so cheesy and ao in your face you can't help but to love it.

    Like the Elvis Head who ran the space thunderdome. "Send. In. Everyone."
    "Which one?"
    "EVERYONE!!!!"
