I still like Star Wars in my own ways but the wind has definitely been taken out of my sails. I could talk about it more specifically sometime when I get the free time. I don’t want to derail this topic though.
I can’t speak for everybody, but for me, deep apathy has set in and it’s also about whether or not I could make time to get out and see it. It’s just not a priority for me.
Viz’s release of Sailor Moon was atrocious; even when they changed their methods for season three, it still didn’t look right. Funi’s DBZ blu-rays were better but that’s more thanks to the different art style; the characters definitely have the crawling outline problem. I saw the first episode of Toei’s HD upscale of Sailor Moon on broadcast but there’s nothing really to say about it.
I don’t understand how they get it so wrong when Sunrise gets it so right. Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, even Gundam 0079 are so well done, it blows my mind.
I think the people who are insistent on not seeing TROS, myself included, would say that they WERE hardcore fans. How good The Mandalorian may or may not be is pretty irrelevant for me since I won’t be seeing it for quite some time. I don’t have the money right now for Disney Plus and I’m too engrossed in my hype for COIE. The only way I see TROS in theatres is if my dad is extremely insistent.
Back on topic, I’m not changing my prediction quite yet. I haven’t heard anything super concrete about sales yet. The only thing I’ve heard is that TROS outsold Endgame in the first hour, which means nothing since Endgame crashed practically every site when tickets went on sale and some sites were offline for hours afterwards.
Okay, I’m gonna have to be the extremely pessimistic guy here with my projections.
Opening 144M
Domestic 400M
International 460M
Total 860M
I am prepared for you hate.
I wanted to point out real quick that all of the downloadable screenshot comparisons are now useless as they have photobucket watermarks on them. Also, has anyone heard anything about a new release for Sword in the Stone?
