Robotech Masters: White Girl & Black Man Leads. Fans Hate It!

In this video, I discuss the reaction to Robotech Masters, which stars Dana Sterling and Bowie Grant, fandom perception, and why certain character dynamics consistently create controversy in science fiction and anime fandoms. Was Robotech Masters genuinely disliked because of its writing and structure, or did parts of the audience simply reject what the series represented, their preconcieved expectations because of Macross, who starred in it, and what was focused on?

I also talk about fandom behavior, nostalgia, adaptation differences between Robotech Masters and Super Dimension Cavalry: Souther Cross, audience expectations, and why certain reactions in geek culture feel strangely predictable over time.

While discussing these topics, I’m a inking page from my own independent comic series Zatswan using Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph technical drawing pens. As an indie comic creator building my own sci-fi fantasy universe, which also happens to have black man and white girl leads, I spend a lot of time thinking about audience perception, character dynamics, worldbuilding, and how fandoms emotionally attach themselves to certain stories and archetypes. Lastly, I also talk about other old anime series that I like!

Only appeared in 1 episode yet was the best part of the final season

Congrats to A-Train for being the best written character in The Boys. Started off as the supe responsible for everything going wrong, yet ended probably the only fan favorite character that wasn't "ruined" by the final seasons. Had the absolute perfect conclusion to his story.

I wish Gaming companies would stop only giving us an Afro and Dreads, it’s getting comical at this point.

Solicits drop tomorrow for DC Comics. Might want to keep an eye open as a Static fan. It's not completely what we want, but...

Cyborg from DC Comics

Name: Cyborg

Secret Identity: Victor “Vic” Stone

Origin: The son of brilliant scientists, Silas and Elinore Stone, Victor didn’t have an easy life growing up. His parents were often busy with one scientific endeavor or another, thus having little time to devote to him. Another point of frustration was his parents’ experimentation on Victor to boost his intelligence. Though the process gave Victor genius intellect, he grew to resent his parents and act out. Foregoing more academic subjects such as science and math, Victor took up sports (partly to spite his disapproving father) and hanging with the wrong crowd (in particularly one Ron Evers). Despite the tense family dynamic, Victor lived a normal life until one visit with his parents at STAR Labs. An experiment involving opening a portal to another dimension resulted in a monster crossing over that killed Elinore and critically wounded young Victor. Silas drove the monster back to whence it came then used experimental prosthetics of his own design to save Victor’s life. Unfortunately, as a result of his new mechanical parts (which couldn’t be hidden), Victor began to consider himself a monstrous freak. A social outcast and unable to play sports (due to his enhancements being considered an unfair advantage and his poor grades as a result of being absent for his recovery), Victor grew despondent. However, life took another turn when Victor had to use his new powers to stop a racially charged attack on the United Nations orchestrated by Ron Evers. With a new sense of purpose, Victor joined a new incarnation of the Teen Titans. Surrounded by young people and outcasts that could understand his unique circumstances, Victor, now known simply as “Cyborg”, became a longstanding member of the Titans. Eventually, his acts of heroism earned him a nomination for membership on Earth’s greatest super team, the Justice League.

Powers/Abilities: Cyborg’s cybernetic enhancements give him: superhuman strength (originally able to lift 4 tons, but later upgrades changed this to 15-20 tons), speed, stamina, durability (he is heavily armored and his bones are reinforced with steel), and healing. Because he is part machine, Victor can interface with virtually any computer system or electronic device. Cyborg can thus manipulate technology and access vast stores of information. His senses (in particularly vision and hearing) have been augmented by technological upgrades. This includes infrared/x-ray/microscopic/night vision, motion sensors, super hearing, and scanning/tracking/targeting systems. Cyborg’s body is equipped with various tools and weapons including but not limited to: a “white noise blaster” capable of firing concentrated sonic bursts that can stun enemies or shatter rock, a laser built into his finger, grappling line and hooks, metallic tentacles, jets for flight, etc. He is capable of assimilating external technology into his form to upgrade existing powers or gain new ones as well as fabricating countermeasures for a wide variety of threats (such as creating synthetic kryptonite to deal with Kryptonians, emitting a frequency that blocks possession by beings like Jericho, etc.). He can also absorb energy (including siphoning the powers of other heroes and villains in close proximity to him.) Cyborg has a genius level intellect, is a skilled hand to hand combatant, and a competent field tactician. Being a partial artificial being, Cyborg can (and does) constantly alter, upgrade and repair himself (even coming back from what could’ve killed a normal person).

Random Trivia: Unlike most heroes, Cyborg has never had a love interest in comics. His best friends are Nightwing and Changeling. As a veteran Titan, Cyborg often acts as a mentor to younger generations of Teen Titans. In DC’s New 52, Cyborg is a founding member of the Justice League.

More accurately "the series was going downhill since the season 3 finale and the weight of carrying it became too much for him to handle"

"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain

A-Train would've escaped from Homelander if not for the woman, Kirpie himself said so. But he sacrificed himself first by luring Homelander away so The Boys could escape and then by choosing to dodge the innocent woman. The Deep could've gone out a hero by saving this innocent man in the new episode. But he was too cowardly to do so, caring more about himself than helping someone. A-Train died being seen as a hero by even Hughie, while The Deep is hated by society and marine life, going to either live despised by everyone or die pathetically in the finale.
