You could have Luke in silhouette, you could have red alert lights on so you only see a hooded red face, you could just bring Mark Hamill back and if anyone complains that he looks too old you can say “well at least it’s not some cgi monstrosity! God! Could you imagine?”

stephenthinkpad posted:The color is so over processed it look more like video game cut scene than a...200 million movie. Mouth nowhere near big enough to bite someone's head clean off.   Hong Kong. Godzilla fighting King Kong in Hong Kong in this time frame is rather ironic.Lister posted:Bottom line is they recast Han and it didn't work. They're never going to try recasting an iconic role again unless it's behind a suit or a ton of makeup. It didn't work because they cast the wrong person. They had time travelling Harrison Ford and didn't take him. Dude was perfect, beyond impersonation. He wasn't going to save the film as it was dire af, but people would have been drat interested to the character under him. Space Kablooey posted:If CGI Luke is bad and recasting Luke is also bad, they can solve this conundrum by... not putting Luke there in the first place. Nah, it was "Fine" having Luke. It was the execution that was off, not Luke the character. Others have noted was very likely financial considerations rather than finding an appropriate actor. This blow back on Luke is the flip side of people masturbating to Luke. That "Improved" Luke. Just from the thumbnail they hosed it up. No need to watch that.Lister posted:I guess it's fine enough but Discovery kind of did that with it's first episodes and the way the Klingons viewed the Federation were "they'll get us to assimilate into their society and we'll lose our identity" which is kind of true but never really followed up on. *Undiscovered Country*. Having actually seen the first season it never gets brought up again nor did it make any sense. They had nothing on how the federation was trying to assimilate them other than them saying it. gently caress all build up. They didn't have any real contact for a hundred(?) years yet that is the conclusion they all arrived at. Literally the one thing they hung everything on was "We come in peace", would you like to have a chat? January 6th made more sense. Stepping out, the writers both wanted a casus belli and pot shots at MAGA. Being hack frauds they managed to shank both goals, and it didn't help they were running their mouths off. Picard was even worse in that aspect with the Patrick interview.

Space Kablooey posted:If CGI Luke is bad and recasting Luke is also bad, they can solve this conundrum by... not putting Luke there in the first place. It had to be Luke for marketing reasons. Disney did a huge self-own by letting Rian Johnson turn Luke into a pathetic old failure, it devalued the whole brand and cost them a poo poo ton of money. Just those few minutes of Luke being cool and good paid off enormously for them, and all of the fanboys are now back on the Star Wars train. FuturePastNow posted:and now they have to eventually try to explain how Kylo totally didn't murder Baby Yoda (or alternatively, tell us that Kylo did murder Baby Yoda) One of the most baffling things about the ST is how it’s such a massive narrative dead end, for what was supposed to be the kickoff to decades of new Star Wars films. It will be interesting to see how they work around this the closer that the post ROTJ shows get to TFA. But I really think they’re going to retcon the ST eventually.

You could also not build up the entire first two seasons to Grogu being handed off to a Jedi. If that’s the end point for the arc, Luke is really the only person who makes sense from a buildup/payoff standpoint, but nobody made them write the series that way. I mean, somebody probably actually did, but you get what I’m saying. From the point that Viking Mando woman said “you have to deliver him to his kind” the show wrote a check to the audience that said “sooner or later, this will lead to Luke Skywalker.” But they could’ve just not made that promise to begin with.

His "own" kind was a bit vague. It didn't have to be Jedi. It could have meant his home world or past caretakers or parents. They didn't know anything about BY and didn't understand his Force Powers. The obvious path was Jedi but it wasn't a lock.

It could have just as easily been the yoda race of people coming to get him. I've said in this thread before and this makes the most sense in the story and also doesn't put a question mark on Grogu's fate because we know Luke is ultimately going to be an abject failure.

I think Disney wanted to give Mark Hamill a voice role to patch up his feelings to the franchise, which I agree it's very important to the money bottom line (because Hamill is not likely to drink himself to death in near future) . And this just make TLJ an even more bizarre multinational corporation product.

The thing that always wrecks my head when you see those “we did the cgi faces better!!!” videos is that 90% of the work is already done by the time these YouTube hacks come in and polish up the work that’s taken VFX artists weeks or months. Like it’s so much harder to go from 75 to 25 year old DeNiro than it is to go from 25 year old to slightly better 25 year old DeNiro.

Yep. Only good example I recall of that kind of video was when some people removed Cavill's mustache better. They used Mission Impossible footage and remove the mustache instead of just cleaning up the bad superman footage.

Honestly I was a fan of Corridor Crew but seeing the way they handled people asking questions about them working with the chud-right Black Rifle Coffee Company (wallpapering and deleting all posts on the subject) they can get out of my YT Subs list. Only one out of several million but you don't buddy up with assholes without at least some comeuppance. The lovely racist 'shoot stereotypical arabs' short film they made was warning enough, but seeing how they are working with BRCC for sponsorship and BRCC are also in bed with rightwing Blaze Media (who are currently stanning for Kyle Rittenhouse) that's the last straw.

He had zero presence in the overall story and it could have just been another Jedi master showing up. You know, a new character that maybe we could learn a bit about in the show?? His appearance wasn't even good. He shows up to kill a few pointless robots then goes back to his home planet instantly with basically zero interaction with our protagonist Zzulu fucked around with this message at 11:09 on Jan 25, 2021 |

Y'all missing a point. Having someone else like Ashoka, Kanan, or, hell, Kyle Katarn instead of CGI Luke would not create endless reaction videos on YT while nerds yell at their screens. Disney is a job creator dammit  It appears that we are on a new plane of existence that there are reaction videos to someone else's reaction videos or "[Some random douchebag] watches [Anorther unkempt neckbeard] react to X" videos now. ENDLESS THRASH!

He should be thanking D&D for literally killing any popular interest in him completing the books as the collective memory about A Song of TL;DR will be forever tarnished by the last 3 seasons. Didn't he said something like "Oh, we wrote the ending with D&D in line with how I imagined the books ended" which is probably the biggest gently caress you to fans of the books. I have nothing but respect for the colossal hustle GURRM pulled on that one.

stephenthinkpad posted:Instead of alternate slavery history they are putting their eneegy on ruining The Three Body problem. To be fair to D&D, they probably thought that GRRM would at least have book 6 if not the whole series finished by the time they were ready to wrap up GoT. You could tell they had the basic plot points for the last two books from GRRM but no idea how to connect any of them. But at this point, judging from how much of a sprawling and unfocused mess the later books devolve into and that it’s been a decade since the last entry, I don’t think GRRM has any clue how to satisfyingly wrap things up either.
