Hey, people. I'm looking for a good image to use on the new Mirror Mook trope at All The Tropes, and I was just wondering if anyone had a screen shot of one of the clone missions or that one mission that ends with the shadow copy of the party in the basement of Paragon City Hall that they'd be willing to share.
Thanks!

CBC Analysis: With one budget, Freeland overturned 3 decades of political orthodoxy
Quote:Most members of Parliament grew up in a political culture that embraced the Reagan-Thatcher school of low taxes, light regulation and small government. Thanks to the pandemic — and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's new budget — that era arguably came to an end this week.
This is as good a time to find out as any - Canada currently has a minority government, and if enough other political parties don't like this, the budget will be voted down which automatically launches an election to be held no later than 65 days after the budget doesn't pass. And if that happens, you can bet that this'll be the big election issue, at least to begin with.

It's definitely got some very strong "travel by/wit, with, or for music and make it even if you didn't expect to" themes. The question of course, is where it goes. Best case, back to AMS/OMB, the worst cases though...

Maybe it could be used in the BtVS step to contact someone dead and ask if they want to be brought back, or to be left in peace? Arriving in S06 means that it's smack in the middle of Willow's worst headstrong magic use/abuse stage.

AIC Rights, the holding company with the rights to BGC, now has 'joint ownership' of the IP with anime megajuggernaut Toei.
- Joint ownership my ass. AIC hasn't had the money to do anything but half-assed Tenchi since 2015. This is Toei basically buying the IPs they wanted (Tenchi, Megazone, Zeorymer, BGC).
- They didn't take everything. El-Hazard was part of an AIC crowdfunding proposition, maybe a reboot could slosh around in the Big Isekai Money Pool for a time - but they didn't take that. Then again, more money probably went to the Megazone continuation than that, and they bought Megazone, so I assume they grabbed these IP's explicitly with rebooting them in mind. I doubt AIC is really in a position to negotiate terms and demand they take joint ownership of truly stupid properties AIC has, right? (Or maybe they did, Dangaioh is in there for some reason.)
- 2040 began and ended, and was co-produced with the now defunct ADV films, so a continuation of 2040 is out I think (thank GOD). And a continuation of 2032 would be difficult to say the least. Toshimichi Suzuki's dead; Shinji Aramaki's Production IG elite; Kenichi Sonoda's juggling time between running his family candy business and polishing up his Riding Bean OVA; Michie Tomizawa couldn't even be pried out of retirement to re-voice Rei in Sailor Moon Crystal so there's no chance in hell they could get her back for a continuation... and does anyone in Japan actually have any idea how 2032 was supposed to end? Or are those records lost to time, like tears in rain?
-So: Toei has money, has the rights to BGC, probably snatched the rights up with an eye toward an out-and-out threeboot. It's not impossible in light of various cyberpunk anime being planned: Blade Runner Black Lotus, Trigger's CP2077 anime, Ghost in the Shell 2045... but, wait, that last one wasn't actually good.
- Oh god. Given the present state of anime nowadays, the odds are that this hypothetical threeboot could be bad. Think: The last licensed BGC product was that fucking light novel where it rebooted the Sabers as schoolgirls. They could do that, in some blind effort to pursue the popularity of other LN franchises or whatever. Questions about whether cyberpunk is still a good backdrop to chart new worlds in sci-fi are irrelevant, BGC never aspired to that. So it could fail either for slavishly adoring the most boring parts of cyberpunk-y stuff, or for ignoring cyberpunk stuff in favor of, I dunno, doing isekai? Or making Priss a contemporary idoru? Oh god. Love Live Crisis. Love Live Crisis: The Gacha Game.
I don't know what to think anymore. I'm freaking out here. My mind is awash with rainbow iridescent possibilities or whatever the hell the guy said in Blazing Saddles.

Previous thread is previous
If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the Sailor Team:- Usagi "Hannibal" Tsukino, who loves it when a youma plan falls apart;
- Rei "Face" Hino, the one with that memorable smile;
- Makoto "M.K." Kino, the team's muscle, who has a fear of flying; and
- "Howlin' Mad" Minako Aino
Oh, and that recurring character who used her brains instead of her brawn... what was her name, again... Ami?
