I'm actually going to see it again on tuesday because my 9 year old wants to see it... but you might notice I never said I loved the movie. I have mixed feelings about it, it's in my opinion far better than TLJ but it has some issues too. I pointed them out, many others have too, and many have...

You either fail at reading, or you're so traumatized by Disney that you literally don't see a way out anymore. I never said you have a choice between loving shit and hating shit; what I'm saying you are completely allowed to consider it shit but you don't have to consider it ruins the franchise...

That's the thing though, you seem to think this ruins Star Wars for everyone. It doesn't. Did the prequels ruin Star Wars for you also? The Holiday Special? If so, it was ruined before Disney. If it didn't, then why does this? For me, I dislike the majority of how the prequels turned out, and...

Not helped by the fact that Palpatine was held up by a mechanical arm.

That's pretty much my take on it too. Not sure it's really a spoiler since it was in the trailers but...

That's what I'm saying. After TLJ, an "okay" sequel isn't a disappointment. It's a step-up. What's disappointing is the trilogy as a whole.

I find it hard to believe anyone that goes to watch this objectively comes away disappointed AFTER having seen TLJ. TLJ made millions of people rage and swear off Star Wars, and at the very least reduced the expectations of even the hardcore fans to slightly below zero for this sequel. If there...

Almost nothing of TLJ is mentioned in TROS if it could be avoided. This movie was full backpedaling on most of the TLJ fuckups.

I don't get the Holden hate, dude feels just like Shepard from Mass Effect.. Amos is cool because he's a psycho and Holden is a bit more flat but that's just the hero type.. but who can forget this awesome moment?

That's a valid point. I too prefer the more subtle power uses (though this movie also shows some cool subtle powers that I think are fitting of a Jedi) over the super-speed, super-jump, etc... that just makes Jedi into super-heroes. But you can hardly blame the sequels for that, the power...

Ok I said I was done here but fuck I can't let that pass because that goes beyond not paying attention to the sequels it's like basic movie watching 101 right there. Are you really arguing why Leia and Han named their kid Ben after the man that : - saved Luke and Leia's mother after Vader left...

Anyway, I'm done here. I've posted my thoughts and answered a few questions as well as I could. Those that care to actually read into them I hope it alleviates some of their worries if they still hope this can be a pleasant viewing experience. Those that gave up on the sequels I can't blame...

Was it? Honestly all the clues were there.

While there's always going to be similarities because Star Wars is just one big recycling factory and it being a classic story it's also going to tread common paths, but this didn't feel much like ROTJ or TESB to me... if I had to choose it's a bit more ROTJ because Emperor and big battle at...

What a great episode this was. Can't wait for the next one.

Oh definitely, it was a mix of Cell vs Gohan and Voldemort vs Harry in that scene. The dialogue was meh, but the visuals were pretty cool, and the room it takes place in is pretty cool too.

Regarding the title and the ending... Since I can see this post is getting a lot of love, I'd like to point out I'm not writing this as my own poetic interpretation, I'm just stating the movie dialogue right there.

I won't defend the new movies overmuch, they have a ton of flaws and some good things. But as someone that saw the whole movie, if Palpatine's lightning in that scene was on the same level as what he used in the scene just before this video, it's not a matter of "will I fuck my face up" and more...

Yeah but like I said above, Palpatine did the same mistake in ROTS.. it's not like he's the best at making short-term decisions.. he's a good schemer and manipulator but ultimately he judges people wrongly (both Luke and Rey, and even Vader), hubris is his worst enemy, he keeps underestimating...

Haha I see.. well, that's nothing new, the same thing happened in ROTS, that's how he fucked his own face up. Or his glamour at least. I'm sure Disney will release a comic or a novel that explains how once your Force Lightning gets tangled into a lightsaber you can't stop it or something...

I'm genuinely curious, what do you find retarded about it?

Yes. But that's pretty obvious, not sure how anyone could create these images otherwise. It'd be a really fucking amazing video editing job if it was fake.

Okay so.. Before I tell you anything about how I liked TROS, here's my take on the other movies. Prequels - mostly terrible, a few good ideas sprinkled here and there but overall wasted, learned to not let them bother me too much after a while. Classics - love them. All of them, including...

I’m browsing on my phone right now and it’s a huge PITA to write anything, I’ll be home in a bit to write my thoughts.

I saw it a couple hours ago. Feel free to ask questions if you want.

Not to argue that the female twi'lek hissing at everything and behaving like Harley Quinn wasn't weird and out of place but the knives didn't seem like regular plain knives to me. When she threw them at Mando they seemed to have glowing purple edges, like the knives we see the cartel boss use in...

Well, since you haven't read the books, maybe you know or maybe you don't know, but all of Bobbie's stuff and most of Avasarala's stuff in season 4 is completely made up for the show, because Bobbie was not in book 4 at all, and Avarasala barely was. The show has linked them to events that will...

While I love the book series, books 4-5 are a bit of a jumbled mess and blur in my mind due to all the chapters dedicated to the Marco bullshit and the eye slugs on Ilus dragging on way too long and most of the characters seemed pretty forgettable in those books until it picks back up when...

One could argue that if you're going to make a movie without Skynet, the Connors or the T800, maybe you shouldn't make a Terminator movie. It's not like Terminator has the copyrights down on killer robots or future wars.

RE4 hasn't aged too badly, but it would be interesting to play it in the same vein as the new RE2 remake indeed.. I wonder if they'd try to make it as serious as the remakes though, because RE4 definitely wasn't taking itself too seriously. RE5 was the moment the franchise jumped the shark but...

Then after that they'll remake the RE1 remake to match those new remakes, and by the time that happens it will be time for RE2 Remake Remastered and the cycle will begin anew. Better get that Umbrella, Capcom, it's gonna rain money.

That was in RE2, and in RE2 Remake as well.. not sure if RE3 also had it. It's basically HUNK on hard mode.

I've had my eye on Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom on Switch for a long time because I love the Metroidvania genre and it's now at 50% discount on the Switch store (so 19.99), but I'm seeing a lot of positive reviews and a few negative ones, but the negative seems to point at really large...

Because 2019 or even 1999 Lucas is a far cry from 1977 Lucas that gave us the classics we enjoy(ed). And even then, their success was mostly due to Lucas being surrounded by talented people such as his wife who reworked the flow and script for IV, and two other directors for V and VI, plus...

Can one of you shop wizards attempt to put a frame of blinking christmas lights around the gate and upper ledge of the burning dojo Sekiro is facing? Like alternating blinking red, yellow and green lights or something.. not sure if it is possible to add an actual hat to Sekiro though. Maybe a...
