Before there was Blue Beetle, there was The Guyver.

    Incredible Mark Hamill Cult Classic Lands On 4K Blu-Ray This Summer

    I come to Lemmy to get away from frustratingly annoying titles that intentionally miss out a key piece of information - in this case the title of the film or TV show the article is about - to trick people into loading the page, only to find is a film they’ve already seen or don’t care about or whatever.

    I just ignore headlines like this now and move on, don’t give them what they want - clicks.

      I get ya, I hadn’t even really noticed since the movie was named in the box below.

      But it is frustrating, and I do tend to block communities and posters that seem like advertisements.

        Exactly. Content creators gotta eat too, so there are levels of ‘please click on this so I can eat’ that I’m prepared to accept in the landscape of 2024 digital information exchanges.

      Would that you contributed actual content to the community instead of only complaints about the content.

          Rule 3: Mutual Learning and Collaboration
          The federated internet community should serve as a platform for mutual learning and collaboration among its members. Encourage individuals to share their knowledge, insights, and experiences related to science fiction. Foster a culture of curiosity and intellectual growth, where members can engage in constructive dialogues and learn from each other. By embracing diverse perspectives and promoting collaboration, the community can become a vibrant hub for science fiction enthusiasts to expand their understanding of the genre.

    And here I thought The Guyver was Jack O’Neill not Luke Skywalker

    I think of this as a JJ Walker vehicle more than Mark Hamill. Saw it several times on cable back in the day.

    It’s good schlock, verging on something better.

    I remember my friend and I discovering Guyver in our local blockbusters. Here in the UK, it was called Mutronics.

    The first film is quite silly but lots of fun. The second takes a more serious tone and I’ll always remember it has the voice of Metal Gear Solid’s Snake, David Hayter, in the lead role.

    @inkican I didn’t think I’d be watching Guyver twice this year, but here we are.

    Great flick. Fun and surprising. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

    I love that this movie is always billed as “starring Mark Hamill”, but he’s a supporting character.

    They need to do the same with the sequel that starred David Hayter (voice actor of Solid Snake in the 1998 to 2010 games).
