What am I whining about? Just stating your posts make you sound like you're 15.

TC's posts usually make it seem like he can't be older than 15. So 20 is a compliment.

Nice, Ali Abdul leading, along with Sae-Byeok, though honestly, she wasn't that great.

Who was your favorite in all of this.

Tbh, Ali Abdul's death hit me the absolute hardest. I couldn't stop crying.

what a waste of chance of posting bender's "let me laugh even harder" meme.

You still have a chance to post it yourself.

I'm sure there's an infinite list of other voice actors who can do the voice for less.

I'm the only one who brought up the numbers and I specifically said half a billion for season 1.

I guess ill remain blissfully ignorant because the problems people have seem to be nitpicky stuff I dont care about.

Those smalls things might make or break it for fans. If you're casually into it, I'm sure you'll be fine.

Even as bad as the Hobbit movies are, I still like watching them because they have a similar feel to the Lord of the Rings movies. If at the end of the day, they establish that in some form, then this will be great. But the trailer doesn't seem too enticing just yet.

i think a big part is the music. it just felt super generic. if they could have done something that sounded like the movies it probably would be better since it would show that it's the same world more

Oh yeah, the trailer music is super generic lol.

That's missing and personally, I feel like the connection to the movies is missing. I just expected something grander with half a billion for season 1 + half a billion for the rights.

Idk, both the MCU and Star Wars (which is 45 years old) are actually flourishing by keeping things connected.

Nothing about that felt like Lord of the Rings. It just felt like the many fantasy shows that come out yearly.

They spent a billion on this and this is the best we get? Still, I'll wait till the first episode or two to fully judge, since it's still very early.

If only the writers had some way of telling us this what they were going for.

I think it was conveyed well, though subtle. The stuff he said to Krrsantan about it being not worth it working for assholes like the Hutts, which went back to Jabba. Fett fell while helping Jabba. Krrsantan was left to be killed because he failed his job in service of Jabba's cousins.

You know there was something I questioned about Boba's motivations in this show. It seemed like he was pissed off that he nearly died in service to Jabba. But shouldn't he be blaming himself for that and not necessarily Jabba? Did he really have any obligation to stay around after delivering Solo to him before ROTJ? He even says to Fennec something along the lines of he doesn't want bounty hunters to get killed after being caught up in the plots of bad employers. But his relationship with Jabba seems like one he brought upon himself.

The reason Fett is in Jabba's Palace in RotJ is because he had just finished another job for Jabba and was just cooling off. You can see he's flirting with the dancers and probably just wanted some ass before he left. It has nothing to do with Solo lol.

That was weak, but not that bad. Of course, the best parts were mostly all Mando. Though Fett handing Cad Bane his ass was pretty nice and the Rancor was cool with the first droid.

Otherwise, way too much running around and aimlessly shooting. I have a crazy sound system and this episode was shaking the entire time, which got a bit annoying.

They should have saved Grogu's return till Mando S3. I thought that is what they were going for since it was obvious what he was going to do.

As for Fett, I don't think it was the Tuskens that really changed him. It was more like being eaten by the Sarlacc and pretty much being dead being the real catalyst and the Tuskens reinforced it. Personally, I didn't mind him going good.

Last episode out tonight at 3 AM EST.

I'm hoping it's a great wrap up since the last 2 episodes were amazing.

That's nothing wrong with him. It's an extremely easy payday. Most of these shitters are from one dude, who pays him $1 million for minimal work.

Questionmarktarius posted...

also the bizarre voice synth is better, or maybe Hamill popped into a studio this time.

Hamill is actually filming these for mapping.

Then they de-age the voice and create the deepfake which is transposed to two different stunt actors so far between S2 and this.

Nah, if they play their cards right, they will end up strengthening the ST. One of the bigger issues with the ST is not really knowing what happened during this large ass period. We're already touching on Luke's downfall here.

Basically, context will make it better. IMHO.

Of course he's being targeted. He's been banned like 20 times now and keeps returning and acting the same.

Do people think a new account is a clean slate or something?

The lightsaber stuff was addressed before. In the Disney canon, there's a lightsaber in Yoda's hut on Dagobah. In the Darth Vader comic, it's shown that Mas Amedda destroyed all the lightsabers, specifically throwing in Yoda's last.

So the writer was asked about that and he said that lightsaber was either a fake that Palapatine used to make a point, or the lightsaber on Dagobah was just another Yoda made.

Someone from the story group confirmed that Yoda had many lightsabers.

Interesting direction they're going with this. Seems like they got big plans for the post-RotJ era. It's probably better to just consider these shows as one big Star Wars show, with Din kind of being the Tony Stark.

I need to watch this one again because it was just too much lol.

Maninstagnate posted...

but I don't know any fan who wants to see Luke Skywalker that isn't Mark Hamill.

I mean, yeah, he's CGI, but it's still Mark Hamill voicing him.

I now fully believe Luke will meet Anakin's Force ghost in one of the future shows like Ahsoka. Both Mark Hamill and Hayden Christensen seem like they're down for more Star Wars.

jpenny2 posted...

I was thinking something similar. Luke is supposed to be starting this new generation of Jedi, and he's just going to repeat the stupid mistakes of the past. This was by far my favorite episode so far, but it ended on a really bad note.

Luke is changing things up. Basically, he wants that person isolated during training, and then once that's done, they can go back to their lives. I'm assuming this was also the plan for Ben Solo, otherwise, he would have to fully cut off Han and Leia.

The issue here seems to be specifically because of Grogu. He ages slowly and it's gonna take him much longer to reach completion. That could be a very long time for Din as Luke said.

Out at 3 AM EST

I hope this and next week's last episode are great.

While what you're saying is true, it's not likely to happen. That's what they weigh when deciding to accept or not accept deals like this. The case against them is very strong so there is no need to make a deal on the off chance they get found not guilty.

Prosecutions don't really offer pleas because they think their chances are good or bad. They offer it to save money and get it over with and to move on to the next case. Almost everybody gets offered a plea at first.

The defendants would be motivated by chances way more. Meaning if they took it, they expect to lose in the actual trial.

This is a pretty bold deal to begin with. They're basically pleading guilty to the actual charges from what I've gathered, instead of something much lower. The state to Federal prison change being the only condition. So it's a guaranteed conviction.

Compared to the costs and chances of getting off. I mean, it serves no purpose here to go through that when you basically got them twice over.

They have life without parole and in Georgia, that means life without parole.

The only way they are ever getting out is through appeal/pardon or outright escaping. A plea deal for Federal hate crime charges cuts off the appeal route because they're still pleading to something with Federal prison time. A trial could end up being not guilty and if they win the state appeal, they walk.

The benefit to them here is that both spend 30 years in Federal prison, which is much nicer than state prison and they wouldn't have to be in protective custody or solitary like in state. The father dies in Federal and the son is moved to state after 30 years.

By going to trial now, they're not only wasting millions for nothing, they've opened up the door to possibly get out. Stupid move.

It's still trash even if you overclock to the max CPU, GPU and RAM so it's probably just the bigger screen playing tricks.

You can go off and do your own thing, but there's TONS of pointless cutscenes telling you the next steps that waste so much time. This is all the way to where I am, which is near the end.

Rebel came into pogo's topic and started accusing him of being alt-right because he used the word degenerate to describe an area people get tattoos. Which is pretty fucking paranoid.

Pogo told him to fuck off several times before he blocked him. This prompted Rebel to make a topic bitching about being blocked and continuing to accuse him of being alt-right. Rebel was then banned.

Then shock made a topic acting like the ban was extremely unfair when it's obviously harassment and even if Rebel hadn't lost 20 accounts, would probably still be warned.

And now shock is suspended for some reason, lmao.

Personally, I think this episode was always the plan. Kathleen Kennedy said that the next chapter of the Mandalorian would come out December 2021. This was 2 weeks before the S2 finale where Book of Boba Fett was revealed.

Furthermore, Favreau clarified that while it's own show and that season 3 of The Mandalorian was still happening, internally, this show was labeled starting with episode "301" instead of "101". And that it's more of a season 2.5 to them.

Also Kathleen Kennedy said all these characters are ultimately connected to Din Djarin and that all the shows are eventually heading towards a major crossover event.

But yeah, Fett was pretty fierce in Mandalorian, but he's been slacking hard here. Feel like it may be a budget thing maybe.

Wow, that was a great episode. It was entirely a Mandalorian episode.

Definitely wasn't expecting something like this, though they did basically say his story will pick up here back last year.

Out at 3 AM EST.

Mando

Damn.

I completely forgot Worf was in this shit.

Anyone remember where he basically became an incel Trump supporter on that Jamaharon planet?

More like GF doesn't have a choice because they need to release games on a schedule with the anime and new merchandise. The Pokemon Company won't let the entire system just pause without new material for a few years while GF works on a game, especially when the games sell well regardless.

There's no reason they had to release Arceus this early. Like, they literally followed their usual plan and a remake like BDSP is considered a 1-2 year "generation".

They had till next November to work on it at the very least or outsource Let's Go Johto or whatever for 2022 and then release it in 2023. The other stuff doesn't track because everything can easily be attributed to BDSP outside new forms since it's all from Gen 4.

Like, Nintendo knows the drill, and the only people aside from GF themselves they answer to is Nintendo. Nintendo is probably the first people to understand good shit takes time, especially if you're trying to be thrifty.

Cats have all sorts of personalities and moods. I've dealt with newborn siblings where one loved me, the other was passive aggressive, and the third hated me.

I wouldn't say flawlessly, but there's obviously a difference in philosophy between GF and Nintendo, and both rely on being cheap.

Nintendo will take their sweet fucking time to release something. GF couldn't give 2 shits because they not only have an army of Nintendo fanboys, but also Pokemon being huge with casuals that don't care.

But they obviously knew Arceus was worse than their usual effort. Hence the January release.

Jail time is insane. Calling the cops over this comes off really Karenish.

There's only one town.

This is the laziest I've seen GF. Even with all the issues with Sw/Sh, it wasn't that bad. This is complete garbo.

Kisai posted...

Why would they hire him? Would Mando have had some adventures in-between episodes that we wouldn't know about?

This takes place after the last episode of Mandalorian. So Mando is not with Grogu and doing whatever before season 3 starts.

I know it's Mando because his theme started playing when Fennec said that.

Out at 3 AM EST.

Hope things start picking up with the main story since there's only 3 episodes left after this one.

I think the episode was pretty good up till the chase. I was not expecting Krrsantan to come in that hard like that.

Him running off into the sunset was weird and hilarious. Also, I feel like they're playing the Hutts off like they're tricking Fett, but I think they genuinely think fighting is bad for business and are gone.

The biker gang seems so out of place. I feel like they could have done a little better job with costume design. Feels like they lifted them straight from some British dance club.

It's an alright movie, but I feel like this was basically a Galactus storyline. I wonder if they'll just repeat that when it's actual time.

Comes out at 3 AM EST

Eternals also releases on Disney+ at the same time for those that haven't seen it yet.

VR porn is absolutely amazing.

I just got this a few days ago and realized all the duping tricks are gone. Fuck.

I'm in your exact situation a lot. Less so in recent years since I got all the females here fixed, but.. here's what I would do

Befriend the mom really quickly with tuna or something. And then move them in a garage or whatever you got

It REALLY sucks losing kittens and it never gets easier... But like you said, out in winter they may not make it

Gonna hide the topic now since this kind of thing has actually given me PTSD or something, but I wish you luck and hope all turns out well

Thank you for you help and sorry for bringing things up. I know exactly what you mean, since I had tried to block out the things from the summer and I'm already feeling down thinking about it.

You probably know me as the guy who can't stop helping stray cats and their kittens.

So I've been seeing this super chubby cat around the past few weeks around my yard and I walked into my bedroom to grab something and swore I heard the sound of baby kittens meowing outside the window. So I called my gf over and she confirmed she's hearing them too.

I told her to wait till the morning to go check on them because of the cold and raccoons, since she's totally down for these things. But.... I just took care of 3 over the summer and lost 2 of them. The whole thing is a lot of work and is mentally draining. We were both depressed for like over a month since the first loss was at 8 days old, but the 2nd loss was almost 3 months old. I miss that guy so much, fuck. He passed very depressingly.

But........ I feel so bad since it's about to hit 10F on Tuesday, which means certain death. Another issue would be that I haven't befriended the mother like with past ones during warm weather. So we'd have to steal them and feed them ourselves.

Idk, I guess I'm just kind of ranting and looking for possible thoughts.

I'm fully expecting Fett having united the Tusken tribes, at this point.

That'd be the major ace-up-his-sleeve he'd need to assert himself on tatooine. And exactly the sort of thing none of these current players would be expecting.

Makes a lot of sense. I'm now expecting a scene where they're cornered and then a whole Tusken army arrives and surrounds the city.
