Doesnt surprise me

Apparently Jamie and Adam dont get along irl

They don't.

Adam has said on camera that he and Jamie don't like each other (fundamental differences in how they want to approch things I think) but when they pitched the show they had no idea it would be that successful or that they would be doing it for so long.

The earlier episodes included their arguments on set to add drama to the show but they later cut all the drama out and the show portrayed them as getting along.
---

The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him. They're all complacent sheeple. Passion fights, but reason wins.

My problem with the new guys is mainly that they kind of tried to pick people who emulated Adam and Jamie to an extent but they just aren't as skilled as Adam or Jamie at building things.

So at the end of the day you just end up with discount Adam and Jamie.

I mean, they went out of their way to have a bald guy in a beret with a beard, and one kind of hyper silly guy (yes, I know, and saw, that they had a survivor style reality show for the new Mythbusters hosts, but the winners were decided by the producers, not by any fair system, I don't blame them for this, but I disagree with the choices they made).

I think rather than have people host the show who are just worse versions of Adam and Jamie, they should have gone with a completely different show dynamic if they couldn't get people that were equal to or better than Adam and Jamie.

Of course, this doesn't solve one of the biggest issues with the show that was one of the biggest reasons for its decline, that they ran out of sufficient interesting Myths to test.

Why is swatting even possible?

Police are supposed to need a warrant to enter your house, they're not allowed break in because someone accused you of something over the phone.

If they have explicit reason to believe people are in danger they can legally enter a home to try and save them, which they should be able to do.

In pretty much every case of swatting they broke into someone's ordinary house and arrested them based on an accusation made over the phone alone, I hardly call that explicit evidence that someone was in immediate danger or that anything suspicious was going on.

Well it is evidence all the same regardless of your opinion. It just happens to be falsified evidence.

Eyewitness testimony is generally regarded as the least reliable of any form of evidence, that said, if any accusation from anyone over the phone alone is regarded as an acceptable and sufficient reason for police to break and enter into someone's house when there is no evidence of wrongdoing at the scene and perform an armed arrest without an explanation than you basically don't have privacy rights and warrants are meaningless.

The entirety of Finn and Rose's plotline. Thought it was dumb, didn't make sense, and ultimately just fucked up everyone else's plans. I also was not a fan of Rose as a character. I loved Finn in TFA, but his role in this movie was just lame and not interesting.

They had nothing for Finn to do so they gave him busywork. Finn was much better in TFA, where he had meaningful things to do and wasn't put into a meaningless comedic misadventure.

Also, the irony of Disney, the richest and most successful movie production company on the planet, putting in a ham fisted "anti rich people" message in their movie.

Kylo Ren is easily the most interesting character in the new trilogy, I just don't think it makes any sense to make him the main antagonist since he's constantly portrayed as non threatening and being weaker than Rey.

He's an interesting character, but he's not scary or threatening. As the main antagonist, he's like a 90's Saturday morning cartoon villain which the heroes fight every week but they never actually take him that seriously.

The argument on Holdo is that she was on need to know. Poe is a fighter pilot, he didn't need to know their plans since it didn't involve fighting.

Why?

There wasn't a reason for it. Not only did she refuse to even state that she had a plan, she was being an arse to anyone for asking.

The story than attempts to push the message that "heroism is bad" with Poe "learning his lesson", but the actual message they push because of how the story is written is "blindly follow authority".

Finn and Rose's contrived subplot wouldn't have happened at all if Holdo wasn't hiding that she had a plan for no reason and being a douche about it.

Also, if lightspeeding into enemy vessels is a thing the entire chase shouldn't have happened in the first place because they could have just lightspeeded the medical ship into the First Order dreadnought.

Also the idea that every First Order ship has a light speed tracker but they only use one at a time which is why they had to very specifically infiltrate one specific ship to disable it in such a fashion that it's specifically undetectable for 6 minutes is extremely plot convenient nonsense.

Also, let's have a crafting system which requires getting very low % drops from rare monsters in a single player game.

The more I think about it, the more this movie just feels like a big intentional "fuck you" to Star Wars fans. Rose in particular seems to embody this. "That's the real victory" as they're leaving this... Las Vegas.... planet without accomplishing their mission. Then later she collides her vehicle with Finn's for no real reason then spouts some bullshit about "we'll save them with our love" as "mini death star tech" blows up their base and for all she knows kills all her friends. So maybe in some way this movie is actually kind of genius?

Nah it sucks.

Worst part about that scene- The AT things just watched them. One shot and boom, both of them are dead. Fuck one shot and fin is dead before he even gets close to the thingy

Not only that, Finn drags Rose's body from right in front of all the First Order forces all the way back to the Rebel base on foot, and nobody shoots at them the whole time.

Just watched this from the other topic. Looks like Mark really disliked how Luke was portrayed. I feel like he was redeemed at the very end but that's it. And then disappointed when he "dies"

Luke contemplating killing Kylo in his sleep to the point he turned his lightsaber on didn't make sense. This is the guy who went on a suicide mission to try and turn Darth Vader and was temped by the dark side himself.

But I think it would have at least been more interesting if they followed through with Luke's "just let force users die out, they cause more harm then good" plan.

Of course, while that would be interesting, it would prevent Disney from milking Star Wars till the end of time.

The movie instead repeatedly pulls the "the twit is there is no twist" card. By the end of the movie everyone is back at where they started with light side vs dark side, rebels vs Empire.

Yeah, but you're using the prequels as a comparison, which everyone already thinks are bad.

The prequels are bad not because of their villains, but the overall story and the way it was shown.

My comparison is to show that the closer you are to the Skywalker family the more you get fleshed out: and if you're a villain force user it's the only way you're worthwhile in the films. The villains that weren't were rather inconsequential. Kylo had always been more important than Snoke. Episodes 1 and 2 didn't have a Skywalker villain. 3 was when it got real and Anakin got to doing the really bad shit

8 is when the sequels get real. Kylo killing Snoke in that way showed how inferior Snoke was. It also felt like some Games of Thrones stuff to me. Snoke could have had more back story, but does it really matter when he doesn't? Everyone wanted a story to know why they should care about Snoke when he was no longer anything to care about

The prequels were in part bad because of the villains. Almost every villain had no motivation or reason for what they were doing, and existed to be an evil force for the protagonists to fight. Heck, the decisions and actions of the villains (as well as various other characters) were often completely nonsensical. None of the villains seem to have a reason for being evil or benefits from anything they are doing except Palpatine, who's own actions are a round about series of decisions which contradict his own goals and rely on an exact series of events to occur to have any chance of success.

You say "Kylo had always been more important than Snoke" as if Kylo has been in more than 2 movies, Both Kylo and Snoke have only been in 2 movies but Kylo got more screen time.

So yes, Kylo has been more important, but Snoke could have been made more important, or at least given more explanation.

You have to know enough about who a character is and why they are doing something to really care about them dying. What do we know about Snoke? He's a random extremely powerful Sith who showed up out of nowhere, created the First Order without an explanation of how, and dresses like Goldmember from Austin Powers.

So Snoke dies unceremoniously leaving tons of questions unanswered, and the movie just tells you to movie on, we're not going to explain anything to you, Kylo is the new Emperor now, and everyone in the movie just accepts it and moves on like that's normal.

Yes I was also disappointed that Snoke died just like that. No backstory as to who he was

Ultimately it doesn't matter because Snoke is nothing in the big picture

It's just there were a lot of theories as to who he could be, and they built him up to be bad ass. And then he just does like that.

Does no one remember how shit and shallow Darth Maul or Dooku were or what

We've really only had one well fleshed out baddie, Darth Vader. The whole series is about him and his progeny (and the worlds and beings they encounter)

Yeah, but you're using the prequels as a comparison, which everyone already thinks are bad.

The problem isn't that he dies, it's that he dies in a nonsensical way, to someone who's proven repeatedly to be incompetent. And the movies wastes your time on Finn and Rose's pointless misadventure instead of explaining who Snoke is or why you should care about him other than that he's powerful.

Also, while I like Kylo Ren as a character, having him as the main antagonist, seems extremely underwhelming, as I said earlier, he's proven repeatedly to be incompetent, and is equal to Rey at best if not weaker.

The main antagonist who has been training in the ways of the force since he was a kid is weaker than the protagonist, who has had basically no training.

Where is the tension supposed to come from? Even if Kylo has an army the movie never portrays him as anything except incompetent, so he doesn't feel threatening at all. He in fact shows in this movie how he's still extremely incompetent and non threatening even with an army as he's thoroughly bamboozled by Luke's hallucination or projection or whatever it was even though he himself is an attuned force user.

Am I the only one who liked that Rey's parents were nobodies?

The fact that her parents were nobodies would have been fine, if she wasn't so absurdly powerful or they showed that she was trained at some point, or had a training segment for her in this movie at least (replacing let's say, the contrived and completely pointless misadventures of Finn and Rose that served no purpose to the plot because they had nothing for Finn to do), as of now she's equal or stronger than Kylo who has been training in the force since he was a kid, but Rey herself only found out about the force a few days ago and basically didn't received any real training from Luke.

She in fact becomes even more powerful in the days, or hours, this movie take place, bridging any gap there might have been between her and Kylo, once again, with no real training. She learns how to use a light saber by herself, all of a sudden. Dispute having no training, and having found out about the force days ago, she's firmly light side and is never temped by the dark side (yes, the movie says she's temped, but never actually shows any effects or consequences from it).

Muscles posted...

I don't get why people really think Rey's parents are actually nobodies, Kylo was clearly lying to manipulate her

It's because Kylo used the "Search your feelings; you know it to be true" quote (or a version of it) from Empire Strikes Back and Rey didn't disagree. The movie itself also seems to be pushing a "anybody can make a difference, you don't need to be special" message which coincides with Rey being a "nobody" (although she's the most special "nobody" possible as shes extremely powerful with the force for no reason) "just doing the right thing", as well as the movie very intentionally subverting expectations like making Kylo the new emperor.

Given, now that Disney fired Rian Johnson and J.J. Abrams is writing and directing the 3rd movie again he might go ahead and change it back so Rey does have a significant past.

Not sure if you caught this, but when Rey and Kylo played lightsaber tug of war, much like how it was shown in TFA at the end, they are on equal terms in strength. Kylo Ren is getting stronger by freeing his shackles.

The fact of the matter is, Rey's massive strength doesn't make any sense at all, the idea that she's even remotely as strong as Kylo is silly. Kylo's been training in the ways of the Force since he was a kid. Rey found out about the force a few days ago and didn't actually get any real training from Luke. It's confirmed in TLJ that she is in fact a nobody with no significant past who just got powerful.

quigonzel posted...

Also, I love that Snoke was killed. He had built up this grand vision in his head that he was destined to have some great dynastic struggle with the legendary Jedi Luke Skywalker that would result in an epic final showdown that was reduced to nothing because he couldn't see what was in front of him.

I don't mind that Snoke died, but the way he died didn't make any sense. It seemed like a half arsed way to push Kylo onto the throne. A guy that can effortlessly connect people across galaxies, when Luke was killed by projecting himself, couldn't sense or hear that a lightsaber was being force manipulated next to him. There could have been a lot more cleverness in how it was done.

The movie also teases multiple interesting ideas that end up having no payoff, one of them being either Rey or Kylo, or both, switching sides, but they both stay pure good and pure evil.

Also the moment Snoke was shown in the golden robe all I could think of was Goldmember from Austin Powers.

PaddysPub posted...

I really liked Rey/Finn/Poe/Kylo in TFA, good characters I cared about. TLJ doesnt really do a whole lot in terms of getting you to care about the characters, they just assume you already loved them from the last movie.

The only character I had a problem with in TFA was Rey, because she was overpowered for no reason, which many people defended by saying we didn't know her past, but in TLJ we find out there really is no reason. She additionally gets even stronger with no training.

I actually liked Kylo's character, him hiding behind a cool mask because he himself looks pathetic, and mentally is weak, is interesting, but it's not suited for the main antagonist. Having a whiny kid who's weaker than the protagonist who has had basically no training makes him a very non threatening antagonist with a poor, silly motivation.

Poe's was practically a different character the way he was portrayed in TLJ. The message the movie was pushing was "heroism is bad", but because the movie was written so poorly, with Holdo refusing to explain her plan to everyone for absolutely no reason, and Poe asking her what is was multiple times, Poe's actions come off as completely reasonable even though the movie tells you his actions were wrong. So the message instead comes off as, you should blindly follow orders and never question your superiors who have done nothing to earn your trust".

Just gonna say, the whole message of destroying history and completely disregarding the past is a TERRIBLE , nonsensical message. The present is nothing more than an aggregation of the past so what the fuck.

It's not really a message, it's just what Kylo Ren wants because he's a whiny edge lord with a tragic past. But they made him the main antagonist by the end of the movie, and that being the motivation of the main antagonist is stupid. Also, the main antagonist being a whiny kid who's weaker than the protagonist, Rey, who has had basically no training, is stupid.
