Heihachi Mishima

Heihachi Mishima (三島 平八) is a character in Tekken fighting game series created by Bandai Namco Entertainment (formerly Namco), serving as its main antagonist. Introduced as the boss character from the first Tekken video game from 1994, Heihachi appears as the CEO/leader of a military firm known as the Mishima Zaibatsu founded by his father Jinpachi Mishima. Heihachi was the protagonist of Tekken 2 and one of the two main characters of Tekken 7 along with his son Kazuya Mishima, furthermore Heihachi was a boss character in two additional main installments of the series. He is opposed by many of his relatives who wish for his death out of revenge and to take over the Mishima Zaibatsu. This happens across the series and one of the creators of Tekken Katsuhiro Harada has called it a "family feud". Heihachi wants to defeat his son and grandson, Kazuya Mishima and Jin Kazama respectively. Heihachi's backstory and motives are revealed in Tekken 7, in which he is killed by Kazuya and thus does not appear in Tekken 8. Heihachi has two known illegitimate children who are playable in the series, the first is the hero Lars Alexandersson, who debuted in Tekken 6; and the second is Reina, who was introduced in Tekken 8, uses some of his moves and has a similar personality, and is later revealed to be also a Devil Gene user as both Kazuya and Jin.

Outside of Tekken spin-off titles, Heihachi also appears as a playable character in other games such as Namco x Capcom, Soulcalibur II, The King of Fighters All Star, PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Street Fighter X Tekken, Project X Zone and its sequel Project X Zone 2. He is also featured in the printed, animated and live-action adaptations of the Tekken series. In contrast to the main Tekken installments, Heihachi also appeared in many games with a younger appearance especially in Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

Harada referred to Heihachi as one of his most favorite characters from the series. Critical reception to Heihachi has been positive with journalists praising his moves and characterization. However, critics made fun of his design and expressed a lack of interest in his role in Tekken 7, where he is one of the most important characters in the game.

Conception and creation
Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada has stated that Heihachi is his favorite character in the series overall and the character he most frequently selects when playing the game. He further described Heihachi as a "very human character", stating that while focus has been placed on his appearance, he found the character's philosophy more interesting, and that in the series he was a "perfect portrayal of the evil that lurks in men's hearts", an evil "far more hideous than any made-up monster". In response to claims that the story of Tekken was complicated, Harada denied as he saw it as a "simple" struggle between members from the Mishima family. Despite promotion from Tekken 5 claiming that Heihachi has died in the intro, Namco Bandai denied this statement in interviews. Heihachi's story and traits are based on Harada's history with his father. Harada was born in 1970, after World War II. However, Harada claims that in that period, parents were harsh with their children in Japan. As a result, Heihachi was portrayed as an antagonistic father to his son; something that the Japanese players could relate to. Heihachi's power in the form of the zaibatsu was based on the Imperialistic Japan. Furthermore, Heihachi is Tekken's personification of wartime Japan.

After Tekken 6, Heihachi's voice actor Daisuke Gōri died. In order to include the Heihachi once again in the spin-off Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Namco hired a new voice actor who would fit well for Heihachi. As for in this game, Heihachi took a potion to make himself look younger. The voice selected was Unshō Ishizuka. Tekken 7's story mode was supposed to conclude the long struggle between Kazuya and Heihachi. However, Namco made the story so that newcomers to the franchise would understand it more easily. In further teasers of the game, Harada stated that in Tekken 7 Kazuya or Heihachi would die in their final fight. In 2016, Harada commented he had his own family. As a result, he compared it with the violent characters from Tekken who are constantly fighting each other: Heihachi, Jin, and Kazuya. He viewed this type of family as "too hard" in comparison. When asked about the final fight between both Kazuya and Heihachi, Harada called it "a major milestone in the storyline", as he was surprised by how extended the rivalry between these two characters has become due to the franchise's current popularity, and thus felt it was necessary to end this in a mortal fight.

In Tekken 5, his movesets were viewed as one of the strongest from the cast but GameSpy commented that he lacked a weakness, as well as quicker attacks. In preparations for Tekken 7, Harada commented that he would often try Devil Jin if he was an "intermediate player", comparing his skills with Heihachi's. For Capcom's crossover game Street Fighter X Tekken, the official guide noted how Heihachi's multiple combos could inflict a large amount of damage on the opponents.

For the animated film Tekken: Blood Vengeance, writer Dai Satō commented that he had to wait to get Namco's approval to introduce Heihachi's final transformation using the power of the Mokujin in order to fight Jin in his Devil form. Heihachi's transformation surprised Harada and other members due to how over-the-top it was. The fight scene between the three generations of the Mishima family proved to be difficult to make as a result of the choreography aimed as well as the movement of motion actors. In order to use Heihachi in the movie, the original character Shin Kamiya was created. Shin's relationship with the Devil Gene experiments attract villain in the story. In retrospect, Satō was shocked when learning Lars was Heihachi's son, comparing it to Masami Kurumada's manga Saint Seiya which uses a similar plot twist involving a man like Heihachi, Mitsumasa Kido, having several offsprings secretly.

Comic book artist Cavan Scott described Heihachi and Kazuya as "demons" due to their dark character traits, making their rivalry with Jin look unfitting in the narrative because of their differences. Scott wanted fans to look forward to his Tekken comic adaptation due to his handling of the three main characters, as it's set during the time Jin becomes similar to Heihachi and Kazuya, making their war more engaging. While still treating Jin as the main character for not reaching Heihachi's traits in terms of corruption, he believed the two would, nevertheless, be interesting enemies.

Main Tekken series
In the first Tekken game, Heihachi hosts the first King of Iron Fist Tournament, offering a substantial prize money and even ownership of the Mishima Zaibatsu itself to those who have the courage and determination to defeat him. Kazuya enters the tournament to take revenge on Heihachi for throwing him off a cliff twenty-one years ago. Kazuya wins the tournament and throws Heihachi off a same cliff that Heihachi had thrown him off. Kazuya then takes control of the Mishima Zaibatsu.

Heihachi, as thrown off a cliff by Kazuya in the previous tournament, instantly lost his dignity and fortune. Grief-stricken over his past transgressions and for neglecting his studies drove Heihachi to a life of seclusion deep within the mountains with his dear friend and pet, Kuma, where he refined his fighting style Mishima-ryu Karate. Heihachi descended from the mountains after catching wind of the King of Iron Fist Tournament 2 organized by Kazuya, Heihachi enters the tournament with the intentions to defeat Kazuya.

Determined to reign supreme from his throne once again, Heihachi sharpened his hair to meet the battle head-on. During the tournament, Heihachi loses to Paul Phoenix in the semi-finals, however the tournament officials reinstated Heihachi, replacing Paul, who was forced to forfeit after getting stuck in traffic as result of a multi-car collision on the expressway, and therefore unable to make the match on time, after defeating Kazuya in the finals, Heihachi takes Kazuya's unconscious body to a volcano, and throws him into it before escaping on a helicopter just as the volcano erupts behind him, having taken his revenge and regained the control of Mishima Zaibatsu, killing Kazuya. Fifteen years later, Heihachi learns of a creature, Ogre, which has immortal blood, Heihachi seeks his blood in order to create an "ultimate life form". Around this time, he meets a teenager named Jin Kazama, who claims to be his grandson and tells Heihachi to train him so he can take revenge against Ogre for murdering his beloved mother Jun. Heihachi agrees to train Jin, and four years later, Heihachi announces the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 to lure Ogre out. After Paul defeats Ogre's base form in the finals of the tournament, but then quits the competition under the impression that he has won, when he still had one last opponent remaining and that is Ogre's true form, after Ogre absorbs Heihachi's fighting force, after Heihachi tried to capture him while he was unconscious. Jin was reinstated in the tournament and replacing Paul in the finals, he manages to defeat Ogre's true form named True Ogre and completely dissolves, avenging his mother's death and winning the tournament as a result. Moments later, Jin is suddenly gunned down by a squadron of Tekken Force led by an awakened Heihachi, who no longer needing him anymore, personally fires a final shot into his grandson's head. Jin, however, revived by the Devil within him, reawakens and dispatches the soldiers, smashing Heihachi through the wall of the temple as he survives and flies away.

After two years after the events King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 and during the events of King of Iron Fist Tournament 4, Heihachi Mishima and his scientists have captured samples of Ogre's blood and tissue to splice with Heihachi's genome, in order to make him immortal and attempts to combine his and Ogre's DNA, but discovers that he will need the Devil Gene possessed by his son and grandson as a catalyst. Heihachi learns Kazuya has been resurrected after two decades. To lure both Kazuya and Jin, Heihachi holds the fourth King of Iron Fist Tournament two years later. Heihachi defeats Kazuya in the finals, and takes him to Hon-Maru where Jin was present. However, the two are defeated by Jin, who escapes after sparing Heihachi's life after seeing the vision of his mother Jun Kazama. Following Jin's departure in Tekken 5, after that an organization named G Corporation sent Jack-4s to invade Hon-Maru. Heihachi is seemingly killed in the attack, but in reality was blown a great distance away after the Jack-4s self-destructed. However, he managed to survive and when he came to, the King of Iron Fist Tournament 5 which was organized by Jinpachi was already over. Leaving him without any knowledge of the events that occurred during the tournament, by this time, Heihachi encountered a person named Raven and they began to fight. Before a winner could be decided, Raven received orders to return to headquarters, and he had to withdraw from the battle.

After that encounter with Raven, Heihachi went home, where he was ambushed by the Tekken Force. Shortly after the attack, the CEO of Mishima Zaibatsu Jin announced the King of Iron Fist Tournament 6. Heihachi appears in the story mode in the console version of Tekken 6, whose main protagonist is Lars Alexandersson, Heihachi's illegitimate son which Heihachi had from an unknown Swedish woman. Heihachi tries to make an alliance with Lars but Lars clearly declined to do it.

Heihachi returns as the main character and arcade mode sub-boss in Tekken 7. The story follows most of his backstory. Heihachi is better known as the only son of Jinpachi Mishima, a famous martial artist who founded the Mishima Zaibatsu company. Heihachi later meets Kazumi Hachijo the mother of Kazuya's, who is much younger than him and sent by her family. Eventually, Heihachi and Kazumi become closer and get married, and Kazumi gives birth to their son, Kazuya. Few years after Kazuya’s birth, whereas Kazuya was away with Jinpachi, Heihachi was about to nurse Kazumi when she suddenly fell ill in a critical state, but she somehow mysteriously recovers and starts to act strange. One evening, Kazumi attempts to kill Heihachi in cold blood and reveals that was the reason she married him. Her clan foresaw his attempt at world domination in the future and she was sent to assassinate him before that future comes to pass. However, Heihachi overpowers and, realizing the woman he loved is gone, kills her in self-defense. In the same year, Heihachi overthrows his father for control of the Mishima Zaibatsu.

Following Jin's disappearance after his battle with Azazel, Heihachi single-handedly retakes the Mishima Zaibatsu after defeating Tekken force soldiers and Nina Williams and announces the seventh King of Iron Fist tournament to lure Kazuya out with the thoughts of killing him. At the same time, he is confronted by a person named Akuma, whose life was once saved by Heihachi's deceased wife, Kazumi, and who promised to kill both Heihachi and Kazuya for her in return. Heihachi clashes with Akuma and loses, but survives. In order to save the Zaibatsu's image, Heihachi captures footage of Kazuya's battle with Akuma in his Devil form; Their fight is interrupted as Heihachi blasts the two using Dr. Abel's satellite, but both survive. Things go awry for Heihachi, however, as the satellite was destroyed by Kazuya in his devil form, plummeting all the way down to the city, and turned the people against the Zaibatsu, ruining its image permanently and enraging Heihachi. Heihachi then meets an exorcist named Claudio Serafino and they began fighting, Heihachi however defeats Claudio, after a while they both find out that they are working for the same goal of bringing down the devil gene. Heihachi then confronts Kazuya at the site of a volcano and the two of them began fighting. After a long battle between them, Heihachi is finally killed; his corpse is subsequently thrown into a river of molten lava, and only few people know of his permanent death by the time of Tekken 8 and a girl named Reina also has some of his moves, and later revealed to be not only an illegitimate daughter of Heihachi, but also secretly a third known Devil Gene user like Kazuya and Jin, whom even Heihachi unaware of.

Ultimate through DLC., Heihachi Mishima was also briefly considered as a playable character in the same game: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, but was decided against because the game's developer, Masahiro Sakurai, considered implementing Heihachi's movement in Super Smash Bros. to be difficult, this was mentioned in Sakurai's Thoughts About Making Video Games 2. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the costume returns and he is also featured as a sprite in Pac-Man's Namco Roulette taunt. He later appears as a background character in the Mishima Dojo stage and as a Spirit. Heihachi made cameo in the Tekken Bowl App due to the pins being based on his face.

In other media
Heihachi appears as the main antagonist in the anime Tekken: The Motion Picture, voiced by Daisuke Gōri in the Japanese version and by John Paul Shepard in the English dub. In the beginning, Heihachi throws Kazuya off a cliff as a child, and sixteen years later, hosts the King of Iron Fist Tournament in order to lure Kazuya out in the hope that he will accept his destiny as his heir. In the climax, Heihachi battles Kazuya and initially takes the upper hand, but is ultimately defeated. Kazuya, however, spares his father's life, and Heihachi escapes the battleground in a jet.

He is also present in the 2009 film Tekken where Heihachi is portrayed by stuntman Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. Tagawa reprised his role in the prequel Tekken 2: Kazuya's Revenge. He also appears as the main antagonist in the 2011 CGI animated film Tekken: Blood Vengeance, which is an alternate retelling of the events between Tekken 5 and Tekken 6. In it, he was supposedly killed by Kazuya four years ago, though in reality he is hiding and had conducted the M-cell experiment (taken from the Devil Gene) on a high school class to test immortality. However, all of the subjects died with the exception of Shin Kamiya, who managed to gain immortality as Heihachi desired. Heihachi is absent for most of the film until the climax, where he reveals that the experiment was just a ruse; he instead tries to take the Devil Gene from Kazuya and Jin, which gives its users increased power. After killing Shin, he fights Kazuya and Jin, awakening the Mokujin spirit for help, though he is ultimately defeated by Jin. He is also present in the novel Tekken: The Dark History of Mishima.

Though Heihachi strains him for a moment, Onizuka defeats him, calling him "triangle head" as an insult. Heihachi cameos again in a later issue briefly, overseeing students as they clean graffiti from the school's walls. Heihachi also makes a cameo appearance in the Puchimas! Petit Petit Idolmaster ONA series.

Promotion and reception
In 2006, Namco released a Heihachi figurine as part of a Tekken 5 set based upon his promotional artwork for the game. While not posable, the PVC figure came with equipable clothing items modeled after those in the game. A "statue" of Heihachi modeled after his Tekken 5 attire also appears in the Namco-themed lounge available for Japanese PlayStation Home users. A Heihachi Mishima-Inspired "Sukajan Jacket" was also released.

Heihachi has been a very popular character in the Tekken series and well received from the critics. In 1996, Japanese magazine Gamest magazine listed Heihachi as the 15th best character of the preceding year, and in December 1997 he placed 40th on their list of the top 50 best video game characters. Sites have noted him as one of the best Tekken fighters citing his recognizable strength despite his old age. A professional Tekken player known as "JDCR" listed Heihachi as the second most powerful character in Tekken Tag Tournament 2. In the official poll by Namco, Heihachi is currently ranked as the 24th most requested Tekken character to be playable in Tekken X Street Fighter, at 6.12% of votes. He was also recognized as one of the best bosses in gaming as well as Tekken characters by multiple websites.

Critics enjoyed his work in the Tekken narrative. Complex noted that what made the character stand out mostly within fighting games in general was to his history in Tekken. The same site enjoyed his narrative in Tekken 2, calling his ending as "the craziest moments in the Tekken series" as he throws Kazuya into a volcano. His portrayal as a villain also earned subject of praise due to his treatment to his relatives. GameSpot listed Heihachi as one of the top ten villains in video games at number three, describing him as one of the most interesting villains in fighting games and adding comments on his little changed design across the series. He was listed as the 78th "most dastardly ne'er-do-wells" villains on video game by GamesRadar. GamesRadar listed Heihachi as the 3rd "Top badass old folk", with comments focused on his role within the story. The same site also listed him as the "3rd gaming's richest jerk", for having the "10th most impractical hairstyle in gaming" and as the "3rd gaming hero you didn't realize was dead the whole time". Edge described him as "a legendary fighting game villain", and cited the impact of his supposed death in Tekken 5.

Both Kotaku and Game Informer have labelled him as one of the worst parents in video game history because of how he treats his relatives Kazuya and Jin. Den of Geek ranked Heihachi as the 9th best fighting game character, adding "The grand dame of the Tekken series, Mr Mishima Senior is one of only a handful of characters to have appeared in each of the main entries in Namco's legendary brawler." His character design, however, has been the subject of criticism due to ridiculous it looks. His younger appearance in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 resulted in surprising reactions by critics who mainly pointed his hair.

PlayStation Universe included Heihachi and Kazuya among the top 5 rival pairs in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 based on the potential a team up the two can make. Heihachi has also been rivaled with Capcom's characters including M. Bison and Gen due to their portrayals as in the games.

Heihachi's role in the story of Tekken 7 was met with mixed responses. This was mainly due to how both he and his son are the center of the narrative and the resolution might not appeal to most players despite scenes within the game showing nostalgic value. The character's final fight in Tekken 7 has been noted to be one of the hardest for newcomers due to how much more powerful he is than Kazuya, his rival. However, Akuma was noted to be far more challenging than Heihachi's fight.

Journalists have also commented on Heihachi's role in other games and adaptations. GamesRadar also ranked Heihachi's guest appearance in Soulcalibur II as the "40th awesome character cameo". GamePro in their preview of Soulcalibur II ' s console ports called Heihachi's appearance in the series a landmark both as the second Tekken character to appear in the titles and as the first unarmed fighter in the series. On the other hand, Arcade Sushi listed Heihachi for his appearance in Soulcalibur  as one of the "worst fighting game guest stars". In a review of the first Tekken live-action film, DVD Talk had negative opinions on Kazuya and Heihachi's subplot regarding their rivalry. THEM Anime Reviews criticized poorly pronunciation of Heihachi's name in the anime film of the series. Anime News Network joked about how ridiculously evil Heihachi is seen in the film due to how he nearly kills Kazuya. The Fandom Post enjoyed Heihachi's fight against Kazuya in the Western comics while also noting that the comic gave him more honor than his son.

Polygon praised the role of Heihachi in Tekken: Bloodline citing "Even though he may seem at first glance like the same “hard-ass martial arts master” archetype we’ve seen time and time again, the show faithfully paints Heihachi as both a fighter and a CEO of a major corporation, and it’s fun to watch him apply his “no mercy” rules of fighting in a business setting."

Eriksdalsbadet

Eriksdalsbadet is the biggest swimming centre in Stockholm, Sweden The outdoor pool was built for the 1962 European Aquatics Championships. The new Eriksdalsbadet was built 1999 and was designed by architect Björn Thynberger.

Facilities
It has:
 * 25 m swimming pool with a depth of mostly 2.5 m but it varies due to a specially-constructed raisable floor. Hosting FINA Swimming World Cup and Arena Diving Champions Cup annually.
 * 50 m pool (Olympic size swimming pool) with a depth of 2.20 m at the edges and 2.60 m in the middle of the pool
 * 50 m outdoor pool
 * bubble pools
 * learning pool
 * "Lilla bassängen", the small pool, also with a raisable floor, most commonly 90 cm deep
 * diving tower with 3.5 m and 10 m high platforms
 * an adventure world for children

The water temperature is usually 27 degrees Celsius.

SK Neptun, Stockholmspolisens IF, SoIK Hellas, Stockholms KK and Spårvägens SF all use Eriksdalsbadet for training.

Security issues
After an increase of sexual harassment, the direction chose to institute gender segregated jacuzzi in 2016. That measure was found insufficient to stop the incidents as a group of boys harassed girls in the adventure bath and therefore extra security guards were hired and security cameras were installed. The sales of the annual memberships decreased 11% between February 2015 and February 2016. The local municipality stated that "the debate about sexual harassment at the premises", rather than the harassment itself, had decreased sales.

In 2016, reports of possible sexual abuse in pools used by both men and women prompted officials at the Eriksdalsbadet to separate the pools by gender on certain occasions, with one for women and one for men. According to unit manager Sara Franzén Shilwan, Eriksdalsbadet takes all reports of abuse seriously, and "all incidents are reported to the police."

Zoolook

Zoolook is the seventh studio album by French electronic musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, released in November 1984 by Disques Dreyfus. Much of the music is built up from samples of singing and speech in 25 different languages recorded and edited in the Fairlight CMI digital sampling synthesizer. The album spawned two singles: the title track and "Zoolookologie".

Composition and recording
Zoolook was greatly influenced by Jarre's former mentor Pierre Schaeffer and Schaeffer's musique concrète, taking samples from everyday life and voice human in 25 different languages from all over the world. In this album was expanded the sample-based approach which had been initiated on Les Chants Magnétiques (1981) and continued on Music for Supermarkets (1983). Some fragments were recorded digitally by Jarre and then played back and edited on the Fairlight CMI. This process was done together with Frederick Rousseau for three months.

"I've always been involved in ethnic music, though I thought the way a lot of people have been using ethnic music was a little superficial. Sometimes it works, like the Brian Eno stuff, it worked the first time, but for me what was more interesting was not making a particular statement about recording in Africa or in China, but taking some sounds and having exactly the same attitude as when you were in front of a Moog 55 or a modular system, replacing the oscillators with a bank of actors or people, treating them through the Fairlight or the EMS synth, and establishing an orchestration using only voices."

Some of the vocals were recorded during Jean-Michel's travels, while others are instead the result of his work with Xavier Bellanger, a French ethnologist who during his travels recorded "a large collection of tapes". For this album, Jarre used the synthesizers Moog 55, ARP 2600, some by EMS, the LinnDrum machine, the Yamaha DX7, the Matrisequencer 250 designed by French sound engineer Michel Geiss for Équinoxe (1978), and the E-mu Emulator. The different languages as listed in the album's liner notes are: Aboriginal, Afghan, Arabic, Balinese, Bengali, Chinese, Dutch, English, Eskimo, French, German, Hungarian, Indian, Japanese, Malagasy, Malayan, Pygmy, Polish, Quechua, Russian, Sioux, Spanish, Swedish, Tibetan, and Turkish.

Much of the album's recording took place both Jarre's makeshift studio in Croissy-sur-Seine, France (credited as Croissy Studio). Sound engineer Denis Vanzetto joined the Jarre team, and later going to the Clinton studio, New York for recording American musicians chosen by Jean-Michel among them guitarists Adrian Belew and Ira Siegel, bassist Marcus Miller, and percussionist and drummer Yogi Horton. After Jean-Michel read in an American newspaper The Village Voice about an exhibition held by the avant-garde singer Laurie Anderson in a New York gallery. He called and invited her to the studio to listen to his demos. Seduced by Jarre's proposed idea of speaking a completely imaginary language, she agreed and provided the vowels for the track "Diva". Parts of the album, like the track "Blah Blah Café" and the second half of the track "Diva", were reworkings of material that had already appeared on the 1983 album Musique pour Supermarché. The album was mostly mixed by David Lord: final mixing began at Trident Studios in London, but Jarre wasn't satisfied with the results, so he and Lord finished mixing at Jarre's home studio in France.

Release
Zoolook was released in November 1984 on Disques Dreyfus label and launched worldwide in September 1985 by Polydor Records label. More aurally challenging than Jarre's previous works, the album was also somewhat less successful, reaching only number 47 in the UK album charts. Two singles from the album were released – the title track and "Zoolookologie". Both had a music video in 1985. The title track video was directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and featured twelve robots designed by Marc Caro, of which only one was kept after filming. The video of "Zoolookologie" was directed by Rod McCall and produced by Frank Coppola in London, UK. It "shows three models flirting with the artist in a provocative fantasy".

In 1984, the album won the Grand Prix du Disque award by L'Académie Charles Cros, and in April 1985 it won the best instrumental album of the year award, at the Victoires de la Musique. In 2016, a contest called Zoolook Revisited was organized, in which amateur or professional producers were invited to share a piece using samples taken from the SoundHunters app. Tracks from selected winners such as Luke Vibert, Zeka Lopez, Mikael Seifu, Simonne Jones and KIZ by Jean-Michel himself were included on the disc of the same name.

Critical reception
At the time of its release NME said: "Strangely simplistic, this LP is like a union between Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) and Kraftwerk on speed". Australian newspaper The Evening News commented that "is a phonetic symphony laced with catchy, funk-rock rhythms based on the intonations of various exotic languages".

In Montréal (Québec), Le Devoir felt that the beginning of the album was "a musical background both morbid and grandiose". In Mojo magazine, Phil Alexander listed it as one of Jarre's three key albums and wrote that "Jarre's rumination on internationalism also boasts a deliberate melodic focus that acknowledges the influence of synth pop, while pointing the way forward to greater experimentation – both in his own work and that of others".

AllMusic's John Bush stated that "Jean Michel Jarre combined an actual band and processed vocal samples – recorded in 25 different languages –  with his rich, melodic synthesizer pop", described the album as "interesting throughout" and added that "the tracks with Jarre alone are often the best, reprising the classic Oxygène sound". "Zoolookologie" was described by Thom Holmes as a "fascinating exploration of samples both of voice and drums".

Talk:Fantastic Four (2005 film)

1994 Movie
Anyone got anymore info on the 1994 version? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.194.68.22 (talk • contribs) 12:29, 12 April 2005
 * Yes. See The Fantastic Four (film). -Acjelen 02:32, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Page Move
This article is now here to comply with Wikipedia naming conventions for movies. Please help change the wikilinks pointing to Fantastic Four (movie). -Acjelen 02:32, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

What about Ben Grimm?
At the risk of picking holes, the plot summary never tells us who Ben Grimm is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.79.38.74 (talk • contribs) 19:35, 27 July 2005

Naming
I believe the real title for the movie is actually Fantastic 4. I think so because on the DVD case, that's how it's labeled. Also, in the movie, I think it shows the logo with a 4 on it. I think the page should be renamed. Anyone else?--M2K e  01:21, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Now the page contents contradict the title. Plus the title contradicts the display text of most references to this page.  Almost everywhere it says "Four", except for the title which says "4".  Also, if somebody moves this page again, please check for double (or circular) redirects (which was a problem, till I just fixed it). --Rob 03:05, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Ditto, I've moved it back. Almost every single source lists as "Four" rather than "4", contrast this the Star Wars films, there is no dispute over whether the films should be titled "Episode III" or "Episode 3" or "Episode Three" because they are always listed with their roman numerals. The Filmaker 20:52, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Clearly inspired?
I don't want to sound nitpicky, but the "plot elements were clearly inspired by Ultimate Fantastic Four" line in the Trivia section seems to be more of a personal opinion. All arguments about how close it is to Ultimate Fantastic Four aside, I think unless that can be backed up by something from, say, the commentary tracks then that item should be removed.--MythicFox 10:49, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I don't know, I didn't think bad of the movie. --Yancyfry jr 05:23, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

 * I removed all the speculation regarding inspiration.Blue Spider 03:26, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Reluctantly
In the trivia section, it lists that Jessica Alba was given the part of invisible Woman "reluctantly" by the casters. Now, it's clear that she wasn't the first choice, but does that necessarily mean they were reluctant to give her the part? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.127.207.168 (talk • contribs) 23:07, 10 February 2007

Paul Walker
The page contained the line "*Paul Walker was considered for the role of Johnny Storm but he was considered too young." This doesn't make any sense, considering the actor that played Johnny is nearly ten years younger than Paul Walker. If there are references that support it, then anyone who would like to can add it again and cite it.BOne 19:40, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Supernova at 4000 Kelvin???
When the group are finding about their powers, they test Johnny in a chamber to see how hot he can get. From memory, Reeds says something about approaching a nova at 6000 degrees, and that it would burn all the oxygen in the atmosphere. The script from IMSDb says the following: SUE You were at 4000 Kelvin. Any hotter, you're approaching supernova --

JOHNNY Sweet.

SUE That's the temperature of the sun.

REED Not only could you kill yourself, but you could set fire to Earth's                        atmosphere and destroy all human life as we know it.

JOHNNY Gotcha. Okay. Supernova bad.

However, that's not truthful; the surface temperature of the Sun is around 5000 Kelvin, but the center of our star peaks at about 15,000,000 Kelvin - And our star isn't even big or old enough to cause a supernova until at least several billion years into the future. Perhaps this little morsel should be listed under 'Trivia'. - Xander T. 05:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

 * Don't worry, you are wrong about the 6000 being mentioned anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.6.18 (talk • contribs) 21:40, 1 December 2008

Major Disappointment?
THAT is why the casting was dissapointing? It makes no sense. I suppose Chiklis' casting was a major disappointment since he doens't actually have orange, rocky skin.

Either reference something tangible, like performance: (Alba was wooden), or age (Alba is not old enough to be a contemporary of Reed Richards) but to claim that the issue with casting was actors hair color is absurd. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stonesean (talk • contribs) 16:20, 6 May 2007

Torch'd
Should it be noted that Johnny Storm's liscence plate, which reads "TORCH'D", could be a reference to an internet cartoon site, homestarrunner.com? -- 16_BIT_MARIO1

X-Men joke in the theatrical version?
I've only ever seen this film on DVD and my understanding is the fourth wall-breaking joke involving Reed turning into Wolverine was only a deleted scene and not included in the theatrical version. Can anyone confirm that the joke did in fact appear in the movie when it played theatres, as the article indicates? (It's not too hard a stretch to imagine this did happen -- in the sequel Reed looks right at the camera in several scenes). But sounds a bit unlikely. 23skidoo 19:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * In the 2 months since my original question I have found no evidence to suggest the Wolverine joke was in the theatrical release, so I have removed that reference. 23skidoo (talk) 06:58, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

"when the ship carrying them experiences unusual electronic interference"
Is this plot description from the film or from the extended edition? If it's the latter, it should be moved to that section. -Lwc4life (talk) 00:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

"What happens when you rapidly cool hot metal"
Why is this even mentioned in the article? The reason why he said it was to match Doom's question of heating/cooling rubber when he was trying to kill Reed. It is pointless to have only one of them phrases in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.185.6.18 (talk • contribs) 21:43, 1 December 2008

same universe?
are the Fantastic Four, Daredevil and  the x-men films in the same universe due to the fact that they belong to FOX
 * Yes and no: Yes, they are the same universe; but no, that's because it's the Marvel universe, not Fox.--CRConrad (talk) 00:22, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Prequel?
This film is in the category Prequel films - why? What does it prequel? David (talk) 19:22, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

"Sequel Section"
Noob here - reluctant to make that first edit...but in the sequel section it explains "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer was released on June 15, 2007, and was regarded as being better than its predecessor, but still lacked the flair of the genre and the essence of the comic. Metacritic gave it 45% from 45 people. The sequel earned less at the box office than the first one, and managed to churn out $289,047,763."

Firstly - is any of this information necessary - rather, is it enough for it to just point towards the main article? If it is necessary, then is "churn out" appropriate language? Would not "The sequel earned less at the box office then the first one, but still managed to earn $289,047,763" be more in the manner of an encyclopedia? I know what the person who wrote this means, and "churn out" is a popular informal phrase for cinema takings, however just don't think quite fits here. Greg1138 (talk) 03:44, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi, Greg! Thanks for bringing this up, and I agree with you. I think it is better to save the details for the sequel's article (and to remove the unencyclopedic language in the process). I simplified the paragraph; let me know what you think. Erik (talk | contribs) 12:52, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Looks good - thanks! Greg1138 (talk) 05:28, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Головка пальца ноги???
Why the ship, on which Doctor Doom is being transported back to Latveria is called Головка пальца ноги? Do you even understand what does it mean in Russian? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.190.194.119 (talk) 17:47, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

American-German Co Production
Because this film was also produced by Constantin Film it should be mentioned that it is a american-german Co Production. Any complaints? Otherwise I will change that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.210.102.79 (talk) 21:23, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Amistad KOG
This is simply not an appropriate encyclopedia topic, especially the list of students in the classes! It falls somewhere between "No potential to become encyclopedic" and a "Vanity page" with a hint of "Completely idiosyncratic non-topic" thrown in. Mwanner 12:29, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Perhaps an inclusionist will argue that a better article could be written under this title, but not me. This particular article is snarky POV about the program. And listing elementary-age children by name seems like a significant violation of their privacy. FreplySpang (talk) 13:03, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Indian Language
Hindi (a.k.a. Hindustani) is perhaps what the author had in mind...?

It is stated that over 30 languages are used, but only 25 are listed - should this be revised? I will check the liner notes on CD and LP when I remember.Rwintle (talk) 16:29, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

On the record's inner sleeve (First Edition, 1984) and on the CD (Second Edition, 1985), The following languages are noted: Aboriginal, Afghan, Arabic, Balinese, Buhndi, Chad, Chinese, English, Eskimo, French, Gabonese, German, Hungarian, Indian, Japanese, Madagascan, Malayan, Pigmy, Quechua, Russian, Sioux, Spanish, Swedish, Tibetan, Turkish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.82.128.108 (talk) 09:16, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

Moon Machine
Does someone have a source for the statements about Moon Machine being recorded for this album. Its style doesn't quite fit in, and the sounds used have more in common with Waiting For Cousteau than this album. Crossbottle (talk) 19:35, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

 * I see someone added that the sounds of 'Moon Machine' were used in Calypso I. I think we need a source on this, or it could easily be the other way round - that the sounds of Calypso I were used on Moon Machine which, after all, achieved mainstream release *after* Waiting For Cousteau. Crossbottle (talk) 22:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Moon Machine was originally released in 1986, as a B-side to the 12" extended Special Remix of Rendez vous 4, though it had appeared on a flexidisc too. I actually have a copy of the 12" single in my possession to verify that it does appear there. However, I too have read that Moon Machine is a hold over from work on the Zoolook session, which finally turned up a couple of years down the line. I'll have to dig out something to corroborate this, but the fact that it is contemporaneous with RV at very least is not in doubt (see also []).

A source here suggests MM was for Zoolook (http://www.musicsense.org/588062video8371805-Moon-Machine.htm) ds 16:45, 1 October 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Illuminatusds (talk • contribs)

"Woolloomooloo" AND "Wooloomooloo"
There is a hyperlink for the song title "Wooloomooloo", to the Australian suburb "Woolloomooloo". This is incorrect & I recall viewing an Australian television interview in 1985 (whilst on tour to promote the album) where the interviewer made the comparison between the Song & Suburb, and how the two names were almost identical. Jean Michel was quick to point out that it would have been good to have known the suburb name at the time of writing the song, however that it was co-incidental. The genesis of the song name "Wooloomooloo" was to do with the tonal qualities of the "oo" sound & how it lent itself to be sampled... In any which case, the hyperlink of the song should be removed from the Australian suburb - as they are two separate concepts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.171.76.242 (talk) 13:53, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing out. I've fixed it. If you see a mistake you can fix it yourself. Phazd (talk) 11:38, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Different versions of tracks appearing on different releases
I have added a reference in the main body of the article to changes between different versions of the albums, where either the original or remixed versions of both Zoolook and Zoolookologie are included (I own two versions that have just this difference - one Polydor, one Sony). The different versions of these albums do appear in the musicbrainz catalogue and there does appear to be a wikidata identifier that links them, so I'm mulling over how best that info can be cited set within the page. Any suggestions? Illuminatusds ; talk 14:45, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Infobox
I've edited the album's info box slightly to pull data direct from wikidata. This is working...sort of, though it does provide a small problem in the chronology box, where pulling the title of Rendez-vous now grabs a disambiguation box. This is faintly annoying. Otherwise, things seem to work broadly as they should. I suspect someone won't like it and might possibly revert, but... Illuminatusds ; talk 16:58, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Subindexex in cue sheet
The first two tracks have more than 1 index in cue sheet, maybe they are divided to parts? Here is the cue sheet for those 2 tracks: TRACK 01 AUDIO TITLE "Ethnicolor" PERFORMER "Jean Michel Jarre" INDEX 00 00:00:00 INDEX 01 00:00:32 INDEX 02 03:34:64 INDEX 03 05:07:42 INDEX 04 06:45:74 TRACK 02 AUDIO TITLE "Diva" PERFORMER "Jean Michel Jarre" INDEX 01 11:42:07 INDEX 02 14:57:04

Only INDEX 00 is a pregap to track 1, the rest are pointing to parts/chapters/movements of those 2 tracks.

Finsbury Pavement

Finsbury Pavement is a short length of street in England connecting Moorgate with City Road in the London Borough of Islington. It forms a part of the London Inner Ring Road (as the A501 road), and before the introduction of the ring of steel around the City of London it formed a major through-route towards London Bridge and south London.

History
The name was formerly Moor Fields Pavement, being on the west side of the Moorfields, behind the Bethlem Hospital. Its current name derives from lying within the historic manor of Finsbury, the manor forming one of the prebends of St Paul's Cathedral, and becoming the Metropolitan Borough of Finsbury, in 1900. The area was first drained in 1527, and the existing postern made into a gate in the city wall at Moorgate. In the early 19th century, the southern end of the street was renamed Moorgate, by the City of London – and the name change marked the boundary, but today, due to boundary changes, most of the street is within the City's Coleman Street ward.

By 1761, the Islington turnpike trust built City Road, to meet Finsbury Pavement from the City. The street formed an early terminus for coach traffic from the north, and in 1871, the street became the terminus for tramways running from Islington. In 1891, Finsbury Pavement became the City terminus for the Great Northern & City underground railway serving Finsbury Park, via the Copenhagen Fields tunnel, under Islington. This line was taken over by London Underground in 1913, as a part of the Northern line's Highbury branch, and the terminus extended to Moorgate station. This branch was never integrated with the underground system, and is now operated as the Northern City Line, a suburban service.

In 1825, George Batty and his wife founded Batty & Co, a condiments manufacturer, at Finsbury Pavement. The company later established a large manufacturing plant in Peckham, which became the United Kingdom's first manufacturing base of H. J. Heinz Company in 1905.

As well as Moorgate, the closest mainline railway station is Liverpool Street, a short distance to the east which also has an integrated London Underground station.

Forum civilium

A forum civilium (pl. fora civilia, "civil forum") was a judicial center in ancient Rome. These judicial forums were extensions of the Roman Forum, which had become congested with commercial and civic activity.

The three major civic forums were the Forums of Caesar, Augustus, and the Roman Forum. The forums were not used for commercial activity, but used as a meeting place for dealings in public affairs as well as the noblest activities that were before held in the Forum.

Julius Caesar built the first Imperial Forum 56–54 BC to relieve congestion in the old forum.

The Forum of Augustus was built to celebrate Augustus's victory over Brutus and Cassius, the assassins of Julius Caesar. The temple was dedicated to Mars Ultor (the Avenger) and was adorned with statues; on the attic of the porticos ran a decoration of female figures (caryatids) and clipeus. This forum has incredible architecture for the time. In conjunction with the establishment of the fora civilia, commercial activity was moved from the Forum and started in the forum venalium along the Tiber.

Renaming
Seems a shame to leave the Ostfriesland under USS when they only had it for a year. GraemeLeggett 12:37, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Progressive flooding and sinking
What is meant by progressive flooding? Were the ship's hatches left open or were all interior and exterior hatches secured? Binksternet 14:37, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Combat record
Did SMS Ostfriesland Sink any enemy ships while she was commisioned with Germany.--121.209.65.203 (talk) 13:28, 22 March 2008 (UTC)ps

 * As far as I can tell, no she did not. Parsecboy (talk) 13:36, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Ambiguity
In the section about using the ship for bombing tests: "Carefully edited footage of the sinking of the Ostfriesland was made public after the experimental attack and was highly influential on US Naval decision makers.[citation needed]"

Not only is a citation needed, but this sentence is ambiguous; did it influence people into believing that bombing was effective OR ineffective against the ship? --Bobbozzo (talk) 01:52, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

 * I am unable to answer your question, but am able to delete the fact-challenged sentence. Binksternet (talk) 16:45, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

What?
"Following the capitulation of Germany in November 1918, most of the High Seas Fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral Ludwig von Reuter, was interned in the British naval base in Scapa Flow.[53] On the morning of 21 June, the British fleet left Scapa Flow to conduct training maneuvers, and at 11:20 Reuter transmitted the order to scuttle his ships. In the span of a few hours, ten battleships and five battlecruisers sank in the shallow waters of Scapa Flow.[55] KzS Karl Windmüller served as Ostfriesland's final commander,[3] until she was stricken from the navy list on 5 November 1919. She was then surrendered to the Allies as "H". The ship remained in Germany until 7 April 1920, when a German crew took her to Rosyth. She was ceded to the United States as war reparations, and on 9 April an American crew arrived to bring her to the US.[50]"

This passage is completely confusing. Was the Ostfriesland at Scapa? If not, why is any of this mentioned in the same paragraph (or at all)? If so, how did she end up back in Germany? Generally, what do the two halfs of this paragraph have to do with each other, if anything?

Maury Markowitz (talk) 10:39, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * No, she wasn't at Scapa - it's there because the Helgoland and Nassau class ships were surrendered after the scuttling as replacements for the ships that were lost. That should be clearer now. Thanks. Parsecboy (talk) 12:34, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
