geebsTV commentary:
American Vandal- Finally finished this! I won't spoil it for people reading this, since they should go check it out if they haven't.
Instead, I'll just make a few more superficial comments about the chyx in this. Power ranger girl's outfit when they went to speak to the physics teacher? spcv('Nice!') Actually, I'm kinda curious how the characters of that universe see this documentary? Like each ep, is that how its being presented to the audience of that world? I only ask, because I don't see how people were shipping Gabi and Sam. Like they hardly had any screen time together, and what they did have was hardly shippy! So I can't see how they would have this like huge following.
I will say, the prom after-party, that's the first time I started thinking, "Sara Pearson? I totally see it now!" Mac's still way hotter though. Like I like Christa and all, she seems like she'd be more my type, being the cute type A brunette. But I like the hot alt-girl gamer chick thing Mac has going.
Transformers stuff- So while I have been doing the MP and 3P thing, I will say I'm liking the stuff in the Titans Return line. Surprisingly, while the Deluxe class is small compared to MP and leader scale, they have some pretty solid figures. Nice robot and alt modes with a lot of articulation and easy and straightforward transformations.
I especially like they've taken previous characters I've owned, and made a smaller, but way superior product. Take the 1st set of Decepticon Targetmasters:
Triggerhappy, Misfire, and Slugslinger. Its pretty cool how they're all actually derived from the same mold, only re-tooled. But yeah, definitely way more arm and leg movement compared to the original figures. Pretty nice alt modes too:
As seen here, they've changed from targetmasters to headmasters in this new century/millenium. They're actually coming out with targetmaster versions in a few months, for twice the price. Which seems a little confusing, since they're still headmasters as well. So in the TR versions, their former targetmaster partners form their head. But if their partners are back to being their guns, then what are their heads called?
Anyhoo, Triggerhappy was the first of the lot, and the most fun transformation of the three. Its a very clever mold, hence them re-using it. Misfire has the purtiest jet mode of the three though. Like I love the giant guns on Triggerhappy's wing, but Misfire's mode is just really sleek.
Slugslinger has the best accessories though- I'm not a fan of Misfire and Triggerhappy's guns, since they have a big open gap in the middle since you can put the guns together to form some sort of gun-something that the tiny titanmaster figure can sit in. Which is honestly kinda goofy.
Slugslinger's guns though look like proper weapons, and I love the different configurations you can do with it. Like you can have something that's a close approximation to the original Caliburst gun mode:
A snubby tri-barrel thing:
Or you can have him dual wield:
I have Scourge coming tomorrow, though I'm a little disappointed there's not a TR version of Cyclonus, prolly because they just made a combiner version of him already. So alas, I cannot have all 5 Decepticon Targetmasters like I used to.
I also have Quake coming, the only one of the second wave of Decepticon targetmasters I had. Which, originally, I didn't pay it any heed, because it was just a re-color of Hardhead. And it was kinda disappointing, because his tank mode was more real-world, a German Leopard, rather than the future made-up tank Hardhead turned into. But the reviews were pretty good- I mean, despite my reservations of his alt-mode, he has a pretty good robot mode.
