2house2fly posted:I get that the political messages shown in Andor are fairly anodyne (nobody's going to say "we have nothing to lose but our chains" in the next three episodes, I'm sure) but the show going out of its way to portray the protagonists as undocumented refugees, and to portray a victim of rape sympathetically, is aligning itself against the right wing as explicitly as you probably can without having a character look at the camera and say "fascism is the immune response of the capitalist body to the threat of socialist liberation" lol

SuperMechagodzilla posted:Well, that’s the issue I was talking about - of everyone seeing themselves in Andor. While there is a truth in every narrative, the earlier posted tweets where idiots compare the Ghorman massacre to the Jan. 6th Capitol riot aren’t fully ‘wrong’. class doesn't exist in star wars because it is american media. If you want worse made shows with significantly better political nuance you can watch cdramas that take place during Republican era (term for dramas). The CPC in that are essentially jedi.

dont like the star wars cartoons except the gennedy tartakovsky ones because all the 3d ones have horrible animation and look bad in motion when you compare it to the stylized art from the samurai jack guy.

3 posted:It really annoys me to see people complaining about Bix's arc in this season as specifically her "lacking agency," when the conclusion of her story specifically revolves around her refusing to let Cass dictate her decisions unilaterally. the more you act like a stereotype the more agency you have. This is called commanding your own space. Parkingtigers posted:Just going to say it, episode 10 was a better The Last of Us story than the currently flailing The Last of Us S2. Whats wrong with tlou2? I liked fallout significantly more because it was not pretentious.

2house2fly posted:She literally isn't a person, she's a character in a TV show whose actions are dictated by a writer. When people say they don't like Bix living on a farm with a baby, they don't mean it's bad for women to quit their jobs and have kids, they mean they don't like that this character was written to do that why is it bad for this character to raise a family instead of being a rebel all day?

You know, in real life revolutions, a lot of the truest believers straight up stay behind to make lives better in the new society they are building. The villagers who aided the NLF in south vietnam weren't checking out of the struggle. They were staying in the struggle. Of course being real people unlike bix caleen, they stayed and built families during and after the war so that their children and children's children could live in a less horrific social order.

Andrew Verse posted:The question to ask is, what did Bix do for the Rebellion? In that one episode where Luthen visits at the safehouse, it's implied that he's had her do some kind of assessment jobs, which sound fairly paperwork-y. Yeah, she'd been on the field with Cassian on some occasions and did the Gorst job, but she doesn't strike me as the field agent type. Whatever she's doing for the Rebellion, especially while pregnant, she could probably do from the farm. again, technical expertise is at a premium because you have someone with actual training and ideological sympathy with the cause. Its not as sexy or cinematic as doing the blapping but its arguably more important.

Its an aesthetic of the perfect revolution. For all the rebellion believes in it can be one of those color revolutions in terms of ideological coherence.

In the three full movies you get Vader in, he does a whole lot of standing around before squaring off against someone powerful enough to actually beat him. You never get to see what makes him an actual, terrifying murder machine. jingling keys.

George posted:How did people's Rogue One rewatches go? I rewatched it slightly before S2 started and was actually pretty disappointed. It's the same characters and the events make sense but the script just doesn't Have It like Andor and it was tough going back to that. cassian is a much more interesting character now because he isn't just a scofflaw. Of course it makes jyn erso even more of a babby.

Its perhaps the weirdest thing. Luthen is kinda like a free for all information broker for different anti-empire actors but he isn't directly aligned to anyone until the end.

Cojawfee posted:The remasters will be higher visual quality, because the 4K77/80/83 movies were built from the best quality theater prints they could find. And because they are theater prints, they also will have the markings in the top right that tell the projectionist to load the next reel if that were to bother you. Other than that, it's what people saw in theaters back in the day. The versions on Disney+ have every dumbass thing George Lucas added to the movies like Han talking to Jabba in the hanger bay, including them moving his body up to make it look like he stepped on Jabba's tail. The Greedo shot first poo poo. The "weesa freee" scene when they defeat the empire. And it will have prequel Anakin as a ghost instead of the original guy. lmao, all those jarjars.
