What if we don't like Cats & Dogs 2: The Revenge of Kitty Galore

As long as your criticism of Cats & Dogs 2: The Revenge of Kitty Galore does not involve any version of "dogs suck", then it's fine.

Dogs are cool and good, but Cats (2019) loving RULES. Also, I imagine that Selonians should probably look something like this:

It's maybe got a similar thing going where seemingly everything is at odds with everything else, but it becomes an entertaining car crash rather than a tedious and frustrating watch, like someone trying for half an hour to push a door marked 'PULL'.

I read it and most of what I take away is Poe was a terrible inclusion in the movie from start to finish.

A Stormtrooper who becomes a Jedi is like, peak Star Wars and should have been an incredibly easy sell. I blame racism.

I appreciate Boyega having the balls to not pull punches in criticizing the mouse. I hope it doesn't impact his career. I mean I guess he's never going to hurt for money but he deserves to be in good movies.

I'm not sure if him becoming a jedi would've made the movies better, but having any sort of consistent idea for where they wanted the story to go probably would've helped. Sidelining Finn is just part of how the movies don't really stick with anything. I do think that a lot of Star Wars works get too hung up on Jedi when characters can still be cool without the force or laser swords, just running around shooting guns and flying spaceships. It's a big setting, and the Jedi are just one little facet.

I mean they could have had him been a leader of other Troopers and built an insurgency inside the First Order but no gently caress that, we need to burn 2+hours of screen time across the trilogy on gently caress all.

I will never understand why kylo ren's stupid loving lightsaber design didn't just make everyone go "hang on, wait, we're fuckin this all up"

It's just a really funky looking lightsaber in a way that doesn't affect the way it's used in any way, so it all feels kinda pointless. Stephen Colbert came out with a big theory that it's supposed to be a crossguard, but it's never used like that. Maybe if he used like a medieval longsword fighting style with it, but then you can't really halfsword a lightsaber. I did see an anime once where the hero character had just a single line lightsaber and then the villain comes up and he's got a beefy lightsaber that's thicker and has a more complicated design, and it was a nice little visual metaphor for the hero being an under-equipped underdog compared to the villain, but Kyle's lightsaber doesn't really create that impression all that well, and he's not even really depicted throughout the rest of the movie as being menacingly overpowering, because the movie prefers to show him being emotionally vulnerable. Just a weird choice with no real purpose.

i mean it's violent, barely controlled, spitting sparks everywhere, and obviously not as refined and sensible as other lightsabers. it's an insanely obvious metaphor for his character also they put it in the first trailer for the exact same reason they put darth maul revealing his double sided lightsaber in tpm's first trailer so it needed to be unique in some fashion or another

Luke wears a tight, long sleeve black outfit and black leather gloves in the desert in RotJ? What gives? He doesn’t seem to use any of the special features of this ill advised outfit? It’s Star Wars, form is everything. The differences between tie fighters and x-wings is pure EU. Stormtrooper armour doesn’t do poo poo. Kylo’s lightsaber looks a certain way to fit his character, and nobody would nitpick it if the movies were good. Edgar Allen Ho fucked around with this message at 13:45 on Oct 20, 2020 |

Kylo's sword is clearly modeled after European swords, unlike the noble japanese katana. Something-something little white cuckball.

While Rose had a crescent necklace! Wake up sheeple! Luke wore Italian clothes in RotJ and look at how much more accepted Italians are now than in the '80s. It's blatant social programming.

Darth Tyranus had a curved handle for his blade so Christopher Lee could use his fencing training If you want some ridiculous lightsaber designs look up No More Heroes

I don't think theres anything wrong with Kylo Ren's lightsaber in the first two films. Im iffy on the third but Im also iffy about the entire narrative arc for his character in the trilogy and its hard to separate "everything about the writing sucks" from "this prop design is weak"

Ghost Leviathan posted:Darth Tyranus had a curved handle for his blade so Christopher Lee could use his fencing training I love this thing though.  Travis Touchdown swings it around like a baseball bat because it's powerful, but also large and slow. That's good design work. I don't think the others get that weird. I like the concept that a lot of them have where the blade is projected by an extendable fixture that has a feel kinda like a fluorescent tube.

Fifteen minutes into watching Rise of Skywalker right now, and I already want to slap anyone who's ever said Last Jedi is the worst movie in the trilogy. This is cringey fanfiction.

Done watching it now. Movie picked up with the Rey/Kylo fight on the Death Star wreckage, but faltered by the time Palpatine was doing his usual "tell the Jedi I'm trying to corrupt exactly what my plan is" shenanigans, and the lines "I am all the Sith" and "I am all the Jedi" are total cringe. The whole ending was baby food. There was a good twenty minutes to half an hour in the start of the latter half where I was emotionally invested and immersed, and that all came down to Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley being able to project believable emotion through their performances. Whatever they got paid for all this, it was too little. The Rey/Kylo dynamic is the saving grace of the entire sequel trilogy, and the fact that this movie had one emotionally weighty and evocative lightsaber fight in it is the only thing keeping it from being prequel level trash. Congratulations, Rise of Skywalker, you're slightly better than loving Revenge of the Sith. Blech.

I agree that RoS is better than RotS, only because if I actually saw RotS then it exists in my world view and it shouldn't. I saw RoS and I wish I hadn't it was terrible. Edited for clarity. CainFortea fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Oct 25, 2020 |
