I think the dedicated gamers who play mech themed video games -certainly the target audience for this show - will be sorely disappointed at the sluggish lumbering ersatz "robots" in this event.

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

You're forgetting all the mech anime fans AND the legion of fans of the pop culture phenomenon Real Steel.


(Taking tongue out of cheek, I'm looking forward to this nonetheless. AND I watched Real Steel and discovered it was surprisingly not terrible. Far better than most of what Hollywood puts out. Sort of a "Rocky with Robots." Which, I guess makes it just like the rest of Hollywood: "Take a previously successful movie and do it again!"

Edit: Ah, went back and looked at the plot more. I forgot it also had the whole "Lackwit father saved by son and gets it together in the end.)

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
