kidkissinger posted:That whole sequence just seemed like a way to make Leonidas seem more badass but whatever You think it's badass to throw babies off a cliff? I think the problem lies more with the viewer than the movie in this case Aside from that it also portrays people seeking peace as traitorous rapists and also coincidentally have the other traitor be a horribly disfigured hunchback, all the while portraying the invading persians as monstrous and inhuman. At the end of the movie we find that this was all a tale narrated by one od the spartans, who i am absolutely sure was totally truthful and not at all embellished or twisted facts or outright lied. You dummy

Radical thought, they should try to make a movie that isn't a horrible, contradicting mess, or bland nostalgic pandering to grown manchildren

CelticPredator posted:They did. Not the movies fault you didn’t like it. They did not. TFA was clearly built around evoking the nostalgic "Star Wars feeling" at the expense of plot and character development, and TLJ constantly undermines its own themes. The slavery scene is a perfect example. At least Lucas was interested in exploring other stories within the SW setting and take risks in an attempt to tell a compelling story. That's not going to happen now that Disney are in control KVeezy3 posted:Of course, The "Great Space Horse Liberation" was a pretense in facilitating their own escape, applied after-the-fact when they were no longer useful to The Resistance. Right. They liberate the poor sentient animal but only after exploiting it for their own benefit. Meanwhile the enslaved children, which are of no use to the Rebellion, are left to languish at the hands of their cruel slave masters.

Wheat Loaf posted:Episode III had the cleverest trick, i.e. its title. It is called "Revenge of the Sith" but there are no real, actual Sith in it because Palpatine is just pretending to be a Sith. He was tricking everyone and the audience was no exception (unless they were intelligent enough to recognise the deception). My immediate reaction is to reject this assertion as you pulling it out of your sarlacc, and this reading is not borne out of the movie. But I'll bite. What makes you think Sheevs is cosplaying as a sith?

galagazombie posted:From my admittedly anecdotal experience it really does seem like Star Wars has been mortally wounded. People are just completely done with being fans of it after the past few debacles. Like even if you didn't hate TLJ you just don't care about the universe anymore. It's true for me at least. I was pretty excited when I saw the yellow intro text scroll by in TFA, and I walked out pretty done with Star Wars, and TLJ just did the equivalent of a mercy killing of my love for the franchise

YaketySass posted:Yes, and the game has nothing real to oppose to her outside of: "Just try thinking for yourself, maaan. Have you, like, really looked at your hands?" That whole bit was the game telling you via kreia to stop making choices based on what you think will give you the most desired color points and actually think for your self. Polo-Rican posted:TLJ has a lot of ambition and attempts to take star wars to places it's never been before, which is good and admirable, but large parts of the story make zero logical sense and it deals with a lot of its themes either awkwardly or badly. IMHO it's interesting and a cool project, and way better than TFA, but still pretty bad. My thoughts exactly.

RLMs bitching about Clones was that the romance didn't make sense, as in why is amidala being a senator a hindrance to her loving anakin, and also why is she wearing a bdsm leather outfit while saying it, and inferred that this was because george lucas hated women and romances because of his own failures in his love life, which is a totally sane thing to imply. They also claimed that the only reason GL cast SLJ as Windu was to get more black people to watch the movie (and then made a crack about black people stealing their tv. Also they totally miss any part that deals with the jedi being myopic dummies. They juxtapose Obi-wan bitching out Anakin for losing his saber with Yoda in empire saying a lightsaber is not that important, claiming that GL missed the point of his own movies. RLM is trash, is what I'm saying

Is Preston backpedaling or moving the goalposts? Or both? I'm of two minds about the lightspeed kamikaze. On one hand, that scene was friggin awesome, and nitpicking the tactical stuff is kinda silly. On the other hand, it's one of those things that really take you out of the movie in a "wait, why hasn't anyone done this before?" kind of way. It's something I think was assumed you couldn't do because it utterly breaks the setting. Why bother with star destroyers when you can just use a light speed rail gun across the solar system? It's like if jedi could force grip the blood vessels in your brain or heart. There's no reason they shouldn't be able too, but it fucks the story up when you introduce powers like that. Or saber fights, where someone turns a lightsaber off midswing. Or using lightspeed to bypass planetary shields (gently caress you, abrams). It's lazy storytelling imo.

Preston Waters posted:Yea it kind of expects you to be half-way intelligent so you can fill in the blanks on your own. Odd, I know. This is a dumb argument because you're comparing the blank slate of ANH with TFA which takes place in a heavily explored universe and therefore the has different standards for setting the proverbial stage, and explaining what the hell is going on, which they purposfully failed so they could have hooks to sell their other gaudy merchandising like books or videogames or whatever poo poo they're trying to sell.

Kart Barfunkel posted:Yes, really. Justice League and BvS. Not Justice league. The justice league that was released is a fundamentally different movie from what Chris Terrio and Zack Snyder worked on. The only reason I would consider seeing the next star wars movie would be due to Terrio, but honestly it doesn't matter who they get because anything remotely interesting in the script will be sanded down to make the film as boring and uncontroversial as possible
