| Topic | What exactly do people dislike about the Holdo Maneuver? *Star Wars spoilers* |
| AlisLandale 09/12/20 4:45:17 AM #37: | I dont care about the move itself, so much as the character writing. >Holdo is introduced to us as Queen Bitch. This is deliberate so to make the audience hate her so it can do a thing later. >Later its revealed Holdo was right all along, now feel bad for her as she nobly sacrifices herself. Tangentally, this is further soured by later in the movie where sacrificing yourself to defend your friends is apparently wrong if youre not 100% pure of heart about it. But anyway, Holdo demonstrates supreme incompetence that isnt compensated or redeemed by the limp-wristed twist later, so her sacrifice just comes off as eyeroll worthy and unsatisfying. I felt more emotion for Random Torture Victim Gonk Droid. >_> ...the actual, physical maneuver looks really cool. But its just a kamikaze attack so it strikes me as odd that it deserves a special name. --- #1 Kaiju Fangirl ^_^ https://imgur.com/mptS9Qj ... Copied to Clipboard! |
