This clown ruins the dramatic tension of every single scene he's in.

But other than that TLJ was pretty good. Rey is still op pls nerf but she's not as obnoxious as she was in TFA. Rose was cute. Finn was redundant. Not because he didnt do anything, but because they literally recycled his character arc almost beat for beat from the last movie.

But back to Poe. Kill the dude. He needs to leave.

I do truly believe there are a significant number of genuinely angry Star Wars fanatics who had it in their heads how they believed it should go and are staunchly opposed to where TLJ went. Thats fine. Its absolutely NOT half of the audience, lol.

And for what its worth, I (like many others) thought there was room for improvement with Finn/Rose, Poe, etc. It was still a good film though. The vast majority left either not caring about them or saying yeah, that part was kinda dumb, but overall I really liked it. The OUTRAGE is a vocal minority and 56% on RT is a joke.

It's not just that...

It's just obvious TLJ had a director that was very opposed to some of the things that were done in TFA, so he just killed some subplots and did his own thing. Maybe TLJ and TFA are both good movies on their own, but if you put them one after the other the end result is just bad.

Seriously, they shouldn't have two directors who disagree on so much be responsible for two consecutive movies in a trilogy.

So are they really just making the mew triology as "anything goes" without any vision for a coherent plot or theme?

I will not trust a single poll or article that diminishes Trump's chances. Not until its November 2020 and he's giving his concesson speech.

This is the exact same game that was played in 2016. "Everyone hates Trump! The nation is against him! There's no way he can win!"

Gosh, I hope the Democrats don't get too big a head just because Trump is a suck sandwhich. Hubris got us here and hubris can definitely make it 4 years longer.

Making the Ghostbusters women was one of the most consistently pervasive criticisms of that movie, starting months before it was even released.

So while I'm sure there were plenty of legit criticisms to be made, acting like sexism didn't factor in is just willful ignorance tbqh

What would also be being willfully ignorant would be acting like a lot of the complaints about them being women didn't stem from the fact that it was blatantly politically motivated and that shit tends to rub people the wrong way

"Blatantly politically motivated"

Jesus...

I mean, its pretty obvious that it was. Though I personally dont mind such motivations as long as the end product is good.

I checked out of the movie when I learned it was a reboot. Out of all classic franchises to make a belated sequel to, and reboot the one where it's a business that can hire people/change hands or whatever. Coulda just had the girls be the current staff years later.

Also years of Dan Akroyd constanltly going "Ghostbusters 3 is definitely happening this time" sort of made me genuinely skeptical of anything Ghostbusters. >_>

I personally feel that if youre going to oppose Trump you should be above his childish nonsense.

This "but the other guys did it first!" s*** that pollutes politics should have been outgrown in grade school.

Literally how are our leaders less mature than pubescent children.

So let other guys walk all over you.. yeah Liberals did that high road bullshit and look what happen.

The fact that you think "not being a child" means "letting the other guys walk all over you is sad.

Trump does enough stuff that we can legitimately criticize and call him out on without devolving into mindless husks.

And the "liberals" didnt take any high road. They stuck their fingers in their ears and ignored the very obvious movement of society and sacraficed the easiest fucking election in history because they refused to adapt and evolve with the people they wanted votes from.

They pretended to be above Trump and his supporters while dismissing the basis of the fears and worries Trump preyed upon. Rather than try to reach out to the people Trump's campaign was devouring they wrote off entire swaths of the population as deplorables.

The Democrats earned this defeat fair and square. And unless some leaders show signs of actual maturity I'm not going to feel any sympathy for them.

0 percent of people ragging on fat people on the internet care about their health or well-being. So that angle is ridiculous.

Though the "fat acceptance" movement leans a little too far at times. But cringy picks like in the OP aren't exclusive to fat people/fat acceptance.

Religion, atheism, politics, gamers, musicians, cars, gay, trans, men, women, vegans, non-vegans, white, black, young, old.

There's a cringy facebook infographic for every creed. So acting like this is something special just an excuse to make fun of a socially acceptable target.

Considering what Lucas did with the PT, his outline probably deserves to be in the trash.

Oh come now Higgins, be reasonable.

The PT were perfectly fine as a concept.

Rigid religious order keeps peace but their dogma is facing obsolescence. Dark antithesis to that religion is working in the shadows to eliminate them.

Upstart "priest" keeps bucking the will of the "church", finds who he believes is the chosen one. Ultimately killed.

His apprentice must reluctantly take up the chosen one. Not because of his faith in Anakin, but his devotion to his mentor.

Anakin deals with the conflict of his human emotions and Jedi upbringing. Sees all he cares about slipping away and the support he trusted till now not helping. Is constantly tempted and manipulated by a villain grooming him to be the ultimate servant and weapon against the Jedi.

Jedi council become desperate and lose their way, forcing a conflicted Anakin to pick sides. He chooses dark. At first, feels trapped by his decision but grows darker and darker, coming to a head with the final duel on Mustafar.

In the middle of this is a massive galactic war that tackles the value of human life via the "disposable" clone troopers and their identities.

It's Return of the Jedi. Palpatoad keeps goading Luke to strike him down. Vader comes in with the surprise betrayal and kills the Emperor before the final fight happens.

Vader and Luke board an Imperial Shuttle and evacuate Death Star II before it explodes. Now they pick up the pieces of the Empire and rule the Galaxy as father and son.

Come on. Someone tell me that story exists somewhere. >_>

Id be interested to see Lucas's ideas adapated still. Before they lost the rights, Dark Horse did a comic based on the old drafts of Star Wars.

Sometime after 9 comes and goes I'd totally be down for Lucas's trilogy adapted into comics or books. Give it the Legends label and market it as an alternate universe, or a send-off to the old continuity.

Worst case scenario is that hardcore fans argue that it supercedes Disney canon. But those people were never going to be content with Disney's Star Wars anyway.

That's the point. Moldybort's revival marked the turning of the series into a dark and moribund story, because there's nothing fun about him.

Which i could forgive if Volemort was interesting. But he's not. The most interesting part about Voldemort was his followers. And he doesnt need to be alive or at full power to have them do things.

Harry Potter books were a lot better before Voldemort was "revived". The first four were these "yearly", relatively self-contained adventures that built this magical world, consistent in its inconsistency, with the looming dread of Voldemort possibly coming back.

Then at the end of GoF, Voldemort is restored to power and the stories just arent as fun. Dumbledore's Karate Class, Snape's Old Nickname, and The Deathly Doesnt Matters just werent as interesting as immortality stones, secret dungeons, inescapable prisons, and world tournaments.

Imo she should have established horcruxes in 5. Have Voldemort revived at the end of 6, and make book 7 the bombastic finale. All while continuing to give each book its own personal mythology. Rather than drag "Voldemorts alive and nobody wants to do anything" out for three books and spend half the last book camping and brooding.

Jedis have precognition, telepathy, and psychokinesis.

Saiyan afterlife is basically a warriors paradise if youre not sent to HIFL.

Jedi afterlife is becoming "one with the force" and you maintain the ability to project and communicate with friends and loved ones from time to time.
