Captain Oblivious posted:Has anyone ever actually liked Ash or just put up with him as a means to the end of seeing things we actually cared about (the Pokemon). I stopped watching Pokemon after I managed to beat the Indigo League and Ash fuckin' couldn't. All in all, the first season of Pokemon is a good self-contained story with an ending that teaches kids how to deal with failure... and then it just keeps going... for twenty years...

Also Vader is a massive awkward chump who was put in armor that purposefully chafes him in all the worst places by Emperor Palpatine and his life is a constant earthly hell. Anyone could waste his rear end.

Honestly, I think Danny Trejo's cameo would have been funnier if he just showed up, said nothing, was in the scene long enough for you to go "Oh hey, that's Danny Trejo", and then left.

Jerkface posted:i dunno, i laughed pretty hard at it "its depressed. rancor's are emotionally complex creatures." I’ll give it that. This was the most weirdly funny episode so far. I went into this show reluctantly like “God, please, no more Star Wars.” and have been pleasantly surprised by how un-Star Wars it is. I like it.

ccubed posted:I think everything Jon Favreau star wars is along the lines of George Lucas prequels. This is all meant for the child Jon. What did he think/want when he was a child watching the original trilogy? that's what informs everything in Mandalorian and Boba Fett. To quote Patrick (H.) Willems: "These are movies about space wizards made for children." Anyone who gets legitimately frothing mad about this poo poo is telling on themselves super hard and it's always a hilarious sight to behold.

Alchenar posted:Yeah the problem isn't that this is a story for children, the problem is that this feels like a DnD adventure where the DM did about 30 minutes prep for the setting and is panicing and making things up from session to session. There’s something remarkably consistent about every new iteration of Star Wars over the last 20 years being a blind reactive panic that tries to redress the screaming outrage generated by the immediate previous iteration of Star Wars, only to somehow create new outrages which the next iteration of Star Wars will have to reactively panic to try and fix in turn.

Also the point of the show seems to be about how Boba Fett is hosed up and traumatized by his near-death experience and has clearly lost a step since he got swallowed by the sand vagina and has been softened a little bit by his recovery process and now he's trying to do a bunch of things that are well beyond his paygrade as some wandering chump bounty hunter and he's making all sorts of mistakes and pissing everyone off and it's clearly leading him towards some serious Consequences in the near future because of he's that out of his depth. The thesis seems to be: BOBA FETT: I've got this poo poo. NARRATOR: Boba Fett did not, in fact, have this poo poo.

The guy with the eye said he spent a lot of money on it, so between the body mods, the flashy bikes, and the hipster clothes, I'd say this tracks. They're a bunch of bored rich kids doing poverty tourism.

I don't need Star Wars to be "good", it's loving Star Wars, it was Good exactly once, for Empire Strikes Back's runtime and that was it. As long as it's not actively insulting like Rise of Skywalker was, then whatever.

Hazo posted:Of course this is all true, I just simply can't wrap my mind around seeing a youth street gang with brightly colored vehicles and thinking "they must be hella gay libs forced down our throat by SJW Rodriguez." Like weren't all these same dorks all up on Rodriguez's dick last year because he made Boba Fett badass Also the hilarious part about Fast and Furious is that it's also one of the most ethnically and gender diverse major film franchises in recent history and nobody seems to notice it. It seems to skid away from the nerd rage, no pun intended, because it's not really a "nerd" franchise like Star Wars, Marvel, or Star Trek is. (Thought it IS a stealth D&D mega-campaign, and I have a giant insane theorypost to prove it) Larryb posted:This fandom has been toxic since long before Disney ever got their hands on it, it’s just become a bit more vocal as of late Like legit, the entire reason Disney even loving OWNS Star Wars now in the first place was because George Lucas got tired of dealing with this same swirling toilet of screeching hemorrhoid waste and literally said "Why the hell would I ever make another Star Wars film if all anyone is going to do is complain about it?" and then started auctioning off the rights to whoever would pay him the most amount of money for it.

Killer robot posted:My biggest memory of the prequel era was when a bunch of toxic nerds realized seeing new Star Wars didn't literally turn back the clock and make them kids again, concluded that the problem must be that these were kids movies while original Star Wars was serious science fiction for grownups, and then slowly convince themselves RotJ was a bad movie just to piece together the new theory in their head. I want to put "Got mad about zippers in Star Wars" on a resumé and see if anyone notices it or asks about it.

Hazo posted:This has been well known by everyone who's been paying the slightest bit of attention, so it's extra hilarious when prequel kiddies lament SJW-LOVING DISNEY and MAHHH LUCAS. Lucas is a total weirdo hippie who borders on disrespectful at times, but Star Wars has always been blatantly liberal and anti-fascist. These are the same time of people who scream “BUT GENE’S VISION!” whenever black people or women or LGBT people show up on Trek or anytime anything violent or sexy happens. Without the slightest hint of awareness that Gene Roddenberry was a money-obsessed horndog who was known to be irascible and often violent and wanted to have all of humanity represented on his space show.

I...I thought you were dead. By the way, someone broke in here and stole your ship last week and--[PEW]" E: Oh, it's probably because Bib just kind of... kept Slave-I in his garage for like three years.
