Just finished Mandalorian S01 finally

loving ha ha ha what the gently caress Disney - just loving decanonize the entire Sequel Trilogy and start from scratch with the Mando team. Jesus gently caress me christ the Imperial Remnant was far more intimidating and badass than any loving single loving thing the First Order threw out. Such a perfect cast too and everything, and you actually learned more about the galaxy through just watching the show.

That's the best Star Wars has been in nearly 40 years. Just fuckin' fantastic, even the "bad" episodes were still a ton of fun. How the hell did this get made because it puts the Sequel trilogy to absolute loving shaaaaaameee

* doesn't make the SW over world incestously small

This was the part I really liked. The Rebel drop trooper lady could have a show/movie all on her own about doing sickass commando stuff. The New Republic prison ship thing was really neat. Werner Herzog's character was loving rad. The Grand Moff at the end kicked rear end, and that loving Flame Trooper was a thousand times more intimidating than anything the First Order shat out. I hope at some point they go all in on the Death Troopers being reanimated soldiers. The entire arc with the IG unit was just loving incredible. All the Empire hardware falling into random hands... so much you can do with that.

I had so much loving fun watching this show! It was so good!

Star Wars is dumb, and Star Wars fans ought to have embraced that by now. Most Star Trek fans have embraced the idea that Star Trek is dumb. It has some cool highs but mostly it's dumb. There's no need for elaborate conspiracy theories about why it's dumb or why some Star Trek movies are bad. It's because Star Trek is dumb and good movies are the exception, not the rule.

Star Wars may have had the advantage in the movies dept before Lucas made the prequels but it's not an argument anymore. Star Wars is just as dumb as Star Trek and just as prone to stupid poo poo and bad movies.

Star Wars is “dumb” but the character drama in the OT is the glue that made it so memorable and timeless.

Luke was human with his dreams of leaving the farm and going on a huge adventure, Obi-Wan lies about his father to protect him, and Vader still holds some love for his son that he can’t bring himself to kill his son, and instead empowers him to be a critical part in destroying the Empire.

Han grows from a self-centered scoundrel into a real hero, and Leia was very much not-a-stereotype in that she was not a damsel in distress in any sense of the word. You come to root for these characters and how their relationships grow over the course of the story. It’s solid stuff.

It’s also why nothing since Mandalorian has been able to recapture that same energy. Mando has a gang of misfits from diverse backgrounds thrown into a lovely situation who eventually come together to bring down a horrible enemy, and those rare character moments are really powerful.

Instead, we get,



Christ!

-space baboons with rabies
-rocket hijackings

And it’s all trapped under a thick layer of sad Brad Pitt monologuing for two hours

Obscenely stupid writing, which makes it obvious that it's pretentious garbage. If you enjoyed it on a stupid schlock level, I get it. But if you couldn't spot how miserable the writing is please don't listen to the people on Facebook get your kids vaccinated. For anyone who didn't see this mess try to imagine people think this movie is really deep and psychologically impactful:

Dumb thing: Brad Pitt's pulse rate never goes above resting, because he's soooooo badass.
That is now how the human cardiovascular system works. If his pulse rate never goes up, that means his endocrine system is hosed, and he just got medically discharged until they can figure out that he has thyroid cancer and his adrenals got knifed out in an incident in Bangkok and he's passing out anytime someone spooks him because his heart isn't keeping up.

Stupid thing: An old guy has to sit down on the moon to rest because he's old.
Hint: What's the gravity like on the moon again?

Really stupid thing: Brad Pitt climbs up a spaceship's engines while they're blasting off.
If you can't figure out why this is dumb I have no idea how you're even reading this right now. Have the person narrating this to you take you to get professional help.

We need to quarantine all the critics who couldn't spot how dumb Ad Astra is, so they can't spread their stupidity to any more innocent people who might be trying to pay attention in a fourth grade science class.


People saw the garbage trailer with the horrible pop cover of "they're coming to America" and decided to watch this nonsense?

They probably thought Ad Astra was really deep, too.

If you read my post you’d understand that I agree with you on all the stuff you just wrote and I wish it focused on moon pirates training space baboons to hijack rocketships

There is an amazing movie trapped under the burial of Sad Pitt and his Monotone Monologues. Like I knew that poo poo was going to suck going in, but I had zero loving idea it featured Moon Pirates, Space Baboons, and Rocketship Hijackings. All of that together would make for the loving greatest movie of all time, and loving everyone involved in the production ran away from it. Absolutely shameful.

Gonna strongly disagree with the boys and say that for the record that Independence Day (the OG, obviously) is still the greatest alien invasion movie of all time, it's infinitely re-watchable and the special effects still hold up

President Fighter Pilot was seriously the greatest idea ever put to film

But also, "Oh no, you did not shoot that green poo poo at me"

CGI is terrible. And everytime you say CGI is terrible, people link one of those videos "10 AMAZING CGI SHOTS YOU DIDN'T KNOW WERE CGI" and all the examples are basically digital matte paintings: Adding cars and scenery etc.

Greyhound looks as realistic as Red Tails.

It’s hard to put in to words but it all feels way too smooth. Like there’s a level of grit or texture just buffed out, against live footage of real sets/actors the contrast just makes it really stand out to me and get totally uninvested, unless it’s something really good like Pacific Rim or whatever.

Black Widow is between Civil War and Infinity War chronologically. The prevailing theory is that they’re setting up Florence Pugh’s character to assume the Black Widow mantle after Nat’s death in Endgame, like Sam becoming the new Captain America after Steve’s retirement.
