I still have issues with the costumes, but I'm more excited for this than I was for Transformers when the first spot was released...and I have equal love for both properties.

Why does everything have to have an unnecessary subtitle these days? And why do 70% of them have the word "rise" in them? My recollection was that this phenomenon started in earnest with PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, mostly because Disney saw the potential for a series and wanted to "alert" audiences to the idea that there would likely be more than one film. How this helps from a marketing perspective is anyone's guess. If that's true, couldn't "Star Wars: A New Hope" take at least partial credit for this phenomenon? |

I would think credit would have to go to EMPIRE, because ANH was added on after, no?

PIRATES was so dark that they added a subtitle so it was clear it wasn't JUST the ride being adapted, it was a story set in the same world. At least, that's what I was told. |

I'll obviously defer to you, Brian, when it comes to inside knowledge. That's just what I recall having read on the ol' nets at the time. If I recall correctly, same thing happened with SKY CAPTAIN, and we can see how that worked out. |

I also heard that it was an afterthought of Eisner's that everyone hated but couldn't change. |

 A much more accurate picture of what Cobra Commander will look like. |

I'm just glad Destro has the mask on... I kinda wish Christopher Eccleston wasn't wearing the mask for his action figure. I was going to team him up with my prequel Obi-Wan figure and re-enact my favorite scenes from "Shallow Grave". I was going to have them interview my other action figures, who wanted to rent their spare room in my Castle Greyskull playset. |

Ninjas are neither Heroes or Villains. Apparently they are above such labels.

Might be, nothing; that is my favorite thing you've ever said. I'm sure there will be an unmasked Destro figure. At least I've been hoping there would be so I could have a Christopher Eccleston figure. Now I definitely hope there's one so I can have Destro asking Obi-Wan how much he paid for his Black Pearl. Destro: "You paid $50 for that ship?" Obi-Wan: "That's what it cost, Dest." Destro: "No, that's what you paid for it. We've no idea what it cost us yet." |
