Really really hope Palpatine's not alive as it kind of cheapens the end of Return of the Jedi plus it's just screams we can't think of anything to do with this movie so we'll bring back the only other good part of the old trilogy we havent touched yet. So he will probably be alive and right as rain. I'm kind of hoping his ghost remains in the destroyed Death Star and Kylo goes to it to learn from him just like Rey is learning from Luke's ghost to get more powerful or something like that, Rey goes there to stop him? Also yea title is bland.

precision posted:Because Captain Marvel bombed so hard...? Criticism was about her acting not the box office. It was never going to bomb regardless of who they cast, but she does stand out as a mediocre actress against the rest of the cast that on the whole mostly have great on screen presence. Obviously Disney doesnt give a drat because they've made money but as a film it's weaker than it needs to be because of her.

teagone posted:Larson's been pretty good in everything else I've see her in. I'd blame poor direction and writing for how Carol turned out in Captain Marvel. Hopefully, i'll wait and see how she does in Endgame because that's likely going to have much better directing and writing behind it. It'll either allow her to shine or show that she's not quite up there when shes acting alongside the likes of Robert Downey Jr, Chadwick Boseman, Chris Hemsworth etc who can really carry a film on their acting alone.

precision posted:Brie Larson is no less dumb than Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, I wonder what makes her a bigger target for nerds... hmmm... lol comparing her to Tom Cruise who isnt the best actor in the world but has massive on screen presence and charisma, same for Brad Pitt. Yea maybe it was the writing and directing but she was boring in a fairly mediocre film. Plus they arent in any "nerd" franchises otherwise they'd be destroyed online as they cant hold a candle to your Robert Downeys etc. Obviously there's going to be those out there attacking her because she's a woman in the biggest nerd franchise out there (well second to Star wars i suppose) but criticism of her can exist based purely on a judgement of her performance. Look to Gal Gadot if you want to see how an actress can really carry a super hero movie.

McCloud posted:I'd say this is a really dubious claim if Infinity war is anything to go by I think one of the worst things about Captain Marvel was the directing and even if you dislike the writing of Infinity War which I think was on par for most of the Marvel movies apart from the really stellar ones (it wasn't Guardians of the Galaxy quality but it certainty was no Iron Man 2) there were some good performances and some really good fight/ action scenes. I do wonder if they rushed out Captain Marvel a bit because they knew they had to get it out before Endgame to introduce the character and that's why it felt very lackluster.

I stand by having The Emperor win too. I dont really want to have to put an asterisk on the ending of Return of the Jedi every time I watch it so I mentally go nope he's not actually dead sorry when he get's thrown into the reactor. No reason he can't be some sort of evil force ghost though and allow him to ham it up plenty.

Brother Entropy posted:he's a space wizard general who killed his dad, he's got bigger signs of oddness than a may-december romance that's not even in the movies Oh i'm not talking films when i say all that. I dont even think Kylo is shown to have those sort of feelings for Rey unless I missed some obvious plot point. She get's all flustered when his shirts off so maybe she's supposed to be entertaining those thoughts? Yes Kylo wants her to join him but I always just took that as because she's the only other force user (besides Luke) in the galaxy left alive at that point. Maybe there's just an obvious romantic plot point between them that i've been blind to.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Shmii Skywalker wasn’t a queen. So you're saying they're X-Men? If Midichlorians are a thing, and it's assumed they can be passed from parent to child, then surely those who possess an abundance of strength in the force (and thus a high Midichlorian count?) will be genetically superior in the use of it and you dont get much more powerful than Anakin whose dad was literally the force. It's clearly a hereditary thing because you dont see Obi Wan saying to Luke "oh your dad was a powerful Jedi but you might not have any powers whatsoever because genes have nothing to do with it", he knows Luke will be a powerful Jedi because his father was one.

Lol i just remembered something from this film. They're all trying to think how to take out the new Sith fleet and Dominic Monaghan shouts out "Hey let's try the Holdo maneuver" and Poe is like "um nah that's a one in a million shot" and they move the gently caress on from that idea. JJ was clearly anticipating everyone asking why dont they just light speed some ships into the enemy like TLJ. It was hand waved so poorly.

nemesis_hub posted:It’s incredible that Kylo is such a nothing of a character if you think about it. The nonsense with Luke in TLJ doesn’t explain anything: the whole idea is that Luke freaked out because Ben was ALREADY corrupted by Snoke. Why? How? In what way was he disappointed by Han as a father etc? what’s the nature of his obsession with Vader? None of it is dramatized or visualized in the films. Instead, the movies relies on vague cultural allusions from outside the film or other SW movies (Anakin, school shooter, ISIS) to give the character any substance whatsoever. It’s complete garbage that only works even a little thanks to Driver being really good. This is all hand waved away by Palpatine saying he was Vader in his head, he was Snoke, etc etc, he was corrupting Kylo since he was young as revenge against the Skywalkers I guess?? Yea it's not great. I do like how they portray Kylo as conflicted throughout the sequels though, he does really feel like a person on the edge of losing it at all times and barely holding his poo poo together, but yes that's a lot to do with Driver.

Pollyanna posted:Like my brain genuinely hurts, it honestly looks like half the people watched a different movie than the other half. Maybe that's my brain problems, but I don't get it. Nah. I think most people are like me, very much in the middle. Perhaps the people you're looking at on twitter are just extremes on one side or the other. I think the general public honestly will mostly enjoy this film because it's just pure shock like TFA. Fun things happen, there are a few laughs, it's a spectacle with an actual ending and everything wrapping up in a neat bow. Is it a good movie? Nope not really it's just like TFA, it's a safe star wars moopie that throws fan service in your face over and over. If you aren't like comparing them to the OT, you like the new characters and you just wanna see them go on an adventure that unlike TLJ feels like Star Wars you'll have a good time. Honestly the people that seem to hate it seem to be either super against the sequels and hate the first two movies or massive TLJ fans that wanted more of the same and they're idiots because JJ was never going to do that. I think the audience RT score is pretty accurate I think if you ask the average person "was it an enjoyable 2 hours in the cinema?".

dex_sda posted:Again, I think it's all reductive, treating it as people being content to eat slop. This movie hinges on a narrative trick - in media res starting "actually the emperor is alive". If you buy it, it's gonna be okayish. If you don't, it's gonna be loving awful. Kinda yea. When I first saw the trailer months back and realised that Palpatine was alive I was like that loving sucks jesus christ those hacks can't think of one original idea. But I had months to just accept it and say gently caress it OK he's alive what else you got and so the movie didn't like fall apart on that revelation like I imagine it would have if they'd kept that a secret. I also went into it knowing a bunch of spoilers so yea I just didn't care I guess so I'm quite forgiving towards the movie than others might be. Like I cared about TLJ going into it from TFA because I, like most, thought there was promise there to be built on, I was excited to see where these characters would go, and TLJ was such a disappointment I was bummed. I feel like a lot of people going into this riding high off TLJ are going to get the same feeling.

Rose got kinda pushed to the side but these films were always about the main 3 friends and it makes sense in the last film they'd just focus on them. In this film we get Finn teaming up for a little bit with the black lady with a bow but if there was a forth film I wouldn't care if she didn't go on adventures with Finn, Rey and Poe on the Falcon. Plus there just wasn't any chemistry between Finn and Rose. Regardless of what right wing chuds say I am also sure that those in charge of the movie looked at TLJ and thought well those two sticking together really didn't work too well in that movie, the casino part of the film is often the most criticised and their romance was non existent, so let's try something else. So of course Finn meets and teams up with the only black woman in the galaxy. Even if it's going to make some idiots think their hate of Rose online worked I think Rose as a 4th character to hang with the main 3 just wouldn't have been that great. I do hope JJ addresses her lack of screen time in an interview soon though and specifically says that her being less present wasn't to do with fan pressure and those fans who abused her are scummy.

You actually might give Rey some pathos if she accidentally killed Chewbacca - oh poo poo nevermind, he's alive. Oh man! C-3PO has to make the ultimate sacrifice to keep our heroes on the path- oh poo poo oh no, he's got his memories back, no worries. Rey kills Kylo Ren in anger! That should be a bad thing, oh wait oh no nevermind she heals him back up just minutes later. If Rey had killed Chewie she'd be dead to fans. You cant have a character that's only semi liked by many and hated by some kill off a beloved character from the OT. As soon as it happened I was shocked then reality hit me and I realised nah they would be too afraid to do that he's alive somehow.
