more to the point, why does ford do this to himself? doesn't he hate indy at this point?

ford has always liked indy more than han solo (which he wanted out of asap) and it's one of the few ford properties that people still recognize instantly (other than blade runner :v: )

I think Cain has that option cause it's a war comedy and Cain is easily the most normal human as we know it, in 40k so I think more people could connect with it. But its been a long time since I read Eisenhorn so maybe I'm just being unfair

I think for this reason Eisenhorn/Ravenor would be easier to digest:

oscarthewilde posted:

i still like eisenhorn and ravenor more, mostly because the focus on the civilian side of the imperium is actually quite interesting.

specifically because they are grounded in worlds that are actually quite normal despite being in the fantastical WH40k universe. Eisenhorn drives around in a car, solves crimes, etc. Ravenor despite being a very powerful psyker with advanced inquisition tech still is heavily limited by how he was crippled so he has a team with skills to compensate for it. in a way they'd be a great way to introduce people to the setting before producing more WH40k tv series imo.

this has always been my position (although I’m a bit more fond of them than this). yes the prequels are worse but acting like there’s some marked difference in quality between them and the OT is absurd

i think it's primarly because in the OT there is acting done by characters which blends in with the greater story and in the prequels everytime the WAR scenes start getting good they cut away to some rear end in a top hat talking about his FEELINGS gently caress off i wanna see clones n droids fight it's star wars imagine if instead of showing the battle for hoth they just showed like 15 seconds of rebels and stormtroopers shooting at each other in a snowstorm then 45 minutes of awful character drama.

the fact that the prequals have resulted in an aboslutely massive amount of successful expanded universe content while the OT expanded universe stuff is some of the worst science fantasy ever to exist certainly is a fascinating phenomenon. the clone wars cartoons are some of the best serialized war fiction ever made imo

this is my review so far as well. I’m only on ep 3 but it seems very humorless and takes itself more seriously compared to the first season. this poo poo is supposed to be fun, where’s the fun

Yeah one of the unspoken problems with Harry Potter is it's so loving unimaginative. Most bottom-tier fantasy series had something resembling whimsy, just held back by generic plots and bad writing. Like in retrospect I should be banned from reading after enjoying the Myth Adventures books as a kid, but as wretched as they were at least it was about a crazy dimension-hopping trash wizard and his wise-cracking, green-scaled partner in crime. It was bad and stupid and probably all kinds of offensive, but it was vaguely interesting.

Harry Potter had bad writing, a generic plot AND all the magic was mainly used to recreate worse versions of real-world stuff. Modern day, no less.


same except i payed video games and the magic in them was way better than gay rear end harry potter magic.

Sex & titillation worked for Game of Thrones because it's a dark fantasy about people making terrible choices for crass motivations. Tolkien's elves don't even like sex.

its hilarious how every single prequel apologist itt has that snyder gang tag

i think the shear amount of actually good prequel adjacent stuff like the clone wars cartoons and the battlefront videos games (plus the coolest star wars legos, loving hate the boring gray imperial crap or rinky dink rebel stuff. all the clone and droid gear looks distinct and cool) has by proxy raised peoples opinions on the prequals but taht's because lucasfilm had really talented people working for it not because lucas knew how to uh, direct or write without a lot of guidence.

The same people who are pissed about movies having too much cgi are soy facing over avatar 2. If avatar 2 is successful it will just make that trend worse.

CGI and the moving of all film poo poo to new zealand is entirely about breaking the back of the unionized special effect shops left in america. every modern film maker should be cast out into the wilderness for the misery they inflict on a daily basis to normal people

I will defend porgs.

The island that Luke's hermitage is based in is apparently an irl protected puffin sanctuary. So every shot they took for the film was absolutely full of these docile but legally untouchable puffins which they could either CG out or turn into space puffins, which is a fair compromise.

(should they have just filmed it on a different island altogether and left the puffins alone? Yes. But they didn't, so, :shrug:)

why not have them be normal puffins. which are like, actually somewhat cute and not ugly horrifying giant eye'd monsters???

There are no intellectual property rights they can claim for the image of puffins, which means no money. Slap some dumb googly eyes on them and you can IP that poo poo all day

your not thinking big enough. we sell the movie as helping save the puffins. fill the disney stores with puffin merch where some tiny percentage goes to a puffin charity that we run. the libs would eat it up
