Renny The Spaceman

Completely forgot about hi, yeah that'll be it then. His bastard 4+ son was called Jake Thunder too if I remember correctly

I'm pretty confident I the movie does well they'll probably put comic guy in a set eventually, even if it's just a mech.

This is super fun, you gotta update us with a photo of you get around to ordering all the parts

Given how often LEGO Lore comes up here seems the right place to ask. Johnny Thunder has so many different names (Johnny Thunder, Sam Grant, Joe Freeman, Sawyer) and in a recent LEGO game he's said that he's used all of them before. Do we think that Johnny Thunder is his original birth name or is that a title he gave himself? Seem more fantastical than the other choices

I think lion knights of all sorts are always gonna to some degree be coded as English though obviously they don't have to be. Early LEGO marketing pushed that heavy though so I totally get why them being from there is so engrained

I forgot those existed. Wonder how happy LEGO is with their performance

This is literally the most overtly political statement here. I think you should get off your horse, he's stoned. Yeah, even if the prices now are just for the US it's gonna set a bad precedent for the future.

Not the last one, the silver lining of LEGO DC being put on life when it was is we skipped out on a figure for the Batman who tries too hard. If I had to choose I'd go with the former just so poor Kyle could get a minifigure as he's probably never going to otherwise.

There was the very funny trend where an uptick searches for how tariffs work came only after the election. I think this was always coming, do we know for certain if these changes are just for America though?

Never change

If you need to compare this obviously different iser to the dead person known as turtle to make your argument work clearly he's objectively right in everything he's ever said

Surprised they brought back the CMF crown, that's nice

Everything is a dimensions in time reference

Borg Cube has a funnier name so it wons

Who are you talking to?

I know this is unpopular, I fully understand I'm gonna be in the minority here, but I don't think Love and Monsters is a very good funny bad episode. Like the monster is stupid but he's only in the last 5 minutes really. I think aside from the weird innuendo line at the end and the absorbaloff it's actually just boring bad most of the time. Fear her though is a stone cold classic, everyone acts like an alien in that episode, the Council man is hilarious, the little girl is doing the funniest villain voice of all time when she's possessed, the squiggle monster, the way this stupid fluffy low stakes episode swerves to tackling child abuse last minute and quickly drops it. It's an all timer funny bad episode for me. I mean to be fair on a BBC budget that's a tall ask. Though given how much RTD loved blowing the budget on effects shots (I love the story about the End of the World Ian Levine told., so good) I think we should all just be proud he didn't wind up doing this. Big Ron will always be the show's biggest what if, sadly with the actor now being dead it can never be :(

You'll get a 100 quid bust of Big Ron and you'll like it I think regardless of if you like individual stories it's still a mess of an era. Legacy and female characters were being removed or character assassinated beyond belief. It can never be overrated for me. Forever Evil is such a good Lex story though, and great for all the villains. The professional courtesy bit with Captain Cold is on of the hardest lines in DC.

Yes, it absolutely is. Happy Meal toys are an even bigger cop out because this type of one isn't even manufactured in house or anything. It's like saying the worst LEGO Minifigure is the big wooden one. This one's pretty good, all time most flaccid set. Literal impossible to play with or rebuild into anything substantial without other LEGO sets. Still though perhaps it says something that to defend the disgusting Sky Cinema original panda set you need to go to cheap promotional polybags As objectively as something like this can get there are worse sets but @SpacePolice89 made a good point, something about it just looks gross in a way other shit sets don't. Like the build looks like it's a toothpaste mascot or something. Like in a way Galidor seems like a good comparison because it looks so ashamed of the LEGO aesthetic

Cmon man, surely Galidor doesn't count, total cop out, especially if you can't name a specific set God, you have a point. The Panda looks like a supporting character from a shitty russian state funded animated film with Drake Bell and insest undertones

I think both are highly unlikely, he's very likely just unique poster.

Yeah, definitely. This stuff can't go on forever, unless you're something like Soap Operas or Doctor Who where everything but base iconography gets ship of Thesus-ed away over time you're just gonna be endlessly telling the same stories anyways. May as well do a fresh slate and let some new take emerge. Forever Evil is so good, mad it's an early New 52 story and it's that much of an all timer. Like the movie? You're if saying there was no heroes that film wouldn't exist, in which case they have an obligation to exist, the less Russo Brothers films in the world the better Fair enough, I just used that as a topical example. If it's not valid in that specific continuity fair enough.

While entertainment is of course why they exist I wouldn't say it's the entire point in this scenario as that implies it's intentional. These same beats keep being played but it's not commentary on this situation as even the edgy capeshit stuff buys into the same cycle. A story where the status quo can't meaningfully change by definition is always gonna make any type of hero redundant at best and actively making everything worse far more often. Loads of superhero stuff tries deal with this but never does it notably, you can't if you're goal is to make this shit keep going forever.

Imposter is a different guy clearly but ,nevertheless, he posted in here like only a week ago! It is the word Asylum spelt wrong as a joke Mr Imposter, it's a play on the insane things we say here. Exactly my thoughts. LEGO Universe's shutdown was an inside job. Okay, sure. I guess you two can fairly try kill eachother. Have fun Tangentially related but there's always an issue when Superhero shit tries to do the "is killing the bad guys better" moral debate, the unwillingness to ever actually kill popular villains makes both sides super ineffective in any sort of prolonged continuity. Like for all the Punisher or Red Hood or whoever talks about needing to put these people down before they can hurt more innocent people they literally can't ever kill anyone remotely marketable. Like I haven't watched it and never will but I'm aware in Born Again there's a bit where the Punisher and Daredevil argue about how if Matt killed people it'd be better but like the Punisher has been around in that universe like a decade and can't kill Kingpin who's been bumbling around like an idiot in public for years in the other streaming shows? For all the bluster about how them killing makes more people safe they can never kill megablocking anyone of note. The , of course, this makes the heroes who don't kill also look shit at their job because they can literally never actually change anything and are just completely useless. Superhero connected universes make this weird catch 22 scenario where the murdery heroes are right because no-one ever reforms or ever meaningfully defeated but are also all of said murdery people are completely incompetent morons who can't do the one thing they define themselves by doing to any villain who they say they're less murdery compatriots should just deal with. Once again, he posted here like a week ago, this isn't a big return anymore, we're back to our usual grind

I admire the optimism, it'll may do you well for the oncoming decade

Dummy likes taking things apart but it's explicitly not out of malice like the Maelstrom which does it to try destroy creativity, that itself runs counter to the dummy who is creative enough to be a Masterbuilder. And while he likes taking things apart it's not at the expense of others as he's also frequently shown as willing to help his friends like The Monster Scientist and The Robot build things. Only like six characters from series 1 and 2 collectively are in the game, I imagine he's not in it just because most of them didn't make it in and he was never really pushed as a mascot figure like the ones that did. I wonder that too. I imagine back in the day there was some big Pirates event like a building contest and they were made for that. It is a shame they didn't at least do some Castle and Space ones to fill out the core three themes
