Frankenstyle posted:That was kind of disappointing. They revisit the only bad first season episode for more 'member berries like, "Remember pit droids, old comedians who can't act, and hey look! the sheriff from Dead wood is using one of Anikin's pod racer engines. 'Member episode 1?" And then they go for "Also what if the Mudhorn episode again, only with a bigger monster???". I was kind of hoping that the whole "more of the same but bigger" aesthetic got banished with JJ Abrams. I remember when people didn’t pick up annoying ways of speaking from South Park.

teagone posted:I thought it was from Red Letter Media, specifically Rich Evans. But lmao, I guess he got it from South Park. That makes sense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ncps_RYHoAI For a minute I also thought Mando was gonna eventually let him keep the armor, but I guess it makes sense he wouldn't since Dyn wouldn't even take his helmet off to save his own life. I wonder if his whole guild or whatever is like that because they almost got wiped out, or if it's like most organizations that follow a code of honor where like three people strictly adhere to it and everyone just pretends they do and ignores it when convenient. No, what I was thinking the entire time I was watching was that Cobb would crawfish and turn on Din once it was time to settle up, or that he would bail on everyone once poo poo got too real. The revelation being that he's a sort of con man who breezes into town and gets people to trust him by looking the part and taking on some low level goons that are actually working with him. I probably got this impression because the two Olyphant characters I always think of are Bullock, who doesn't really smile much because he's busy barely containing his rage, and the guy from The Girl Next Door who's a sleazy porn guy but oddly charming and always smiling. Cobb seemed a lot more like the latter than the former, but that character would probably have been too much like Calican. CubanMissile fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Oct 30, 2020 |

I loved Tron Legacy when it came out but man that de-aging technology doesn't hold up well over the years. Looks even worse than Rogue One.

banned from Starbucks posted:Only gripe I have about the episode is the gamorrean dudes fighting each other were just fat dudes wearing masks were the ones in jedi wore actual suits(or at least fake arms) that made them look more proportionate. The ones in mando look goofy with their oversized heads. The only thing that bothered me was that their only move seemed to be to slam vibroaxes against each other.

I hope Carano’s agent is giving her the facts of life talk that her resume puts her career trajectory as a chud actor in Kevin Sorbo’s orbit and not Clint Eastwood’s. Also that body diversification is great and the people she hates are the ones who think a rebel shock trooper should be played by someone of her current body type while the people she supports are probably mad it’s not her former.

BaeYo ate that spider no problem but it gave me the worst xenomorph images in my head and I just want him to be safe.Frankenstyle posted:I dunno. The escape pod is on the HasLab Razorcrest too. And goddamn I wish I knew that was in the pipeline. Order cut off is in three days and I just put the last 400 bux down on my baby Yoda pre-order. I think Star Wars strategy is more into trying to make his existing ship iconic than trying to sell everyone on new ones every year like G.I. Joe.

Sash! posted:He doesn't know what he should and shouldn't eat. The stuff he keeps eating has a semi-aquatic theme to it, making it feel like he's eating what he's supposed to eat...just at the wrong time. The joke is more that he isn't listening, not lol futility of existence lol Except the episode is supposed to be about this woman trying to save her family line and transport eggs for intelligent life. I’d agree with you more if she was just some rich woman trying to transport rare and valuable space caviar, not “haha baby ate the nice lady’s future children”.

Bust Rodd posted:My singular complaint is that I am very tired of Din just moonwalking into the most obvious ambushes in the universe. This episode was otherwise extrememly cool. As someone unfamiliar with Clone Wars and Mandalore stuff, getting to discover that Din is like a fundamentalist wackjob at roughly the same time that he did was very amusing. I am very curious as to what he was raised to think of Mandalorians who don't follow all the rules. Yeah, I know Din probably spent most of his time at Mando Church but he needs to stop being such a rube and trusting everyone he meets at a cantina while wearing beskar from head to toe. At least paint it or something so he doesn’t look like a walking Tiffany’s.

Isometric Bacon posted:Am I the only one who's a little bit worried about the fact that this show is tying itself directly into events and characters from the cartoons? You’re not going to be able to put Din in contact with any Jedi from this time period unless you either go to the cartoons or use a digitally de-aged Luke Skywalker. This is the better option. edit: And personally I hate the idea of just serving up some made up lost Jedi on tap whenever the plot needs one, which is assume the EU novels probably did.

Frankenstyle posted:I went to see it begrudgingly, thinking of it as The Chewbacca Movie featuring some guy he knew before he met Han Solo that I was determined to hate. To my surprise the guy playing Han wasn't awesome, but he wasn't terrible, and Danny Glover was perfect. It's a shame it won't get any sequels, because it at least proved that in the right hands it could have been great. Personally I felt Solo was the best movie since ROTJ. Agreed on Han and Lando. You’re never going to replace Harrison Ford and Don Glover did such an amazing job it’s sad we’ll probably never see him in the role again.

Frankenstyle posted:I think that's part of the point though. You don't get Beskar armor unless you're badass enough to earn it, and you don't wear it unless you're badass enough to keep it. As functional as it is it's also a symbolic "come at me bro" to the universe, and if you can't prove you deserve to have it you won't be keeping it. That makes sense for a bounty hunter but it’s still kind of a dumb way to do things when: 1. What’s left of your people are secretive and in hiding. 2. Your current mission is such that you want to draw as little attention as possible.

I’d rather see Cal Kestis show up up than Ezra. I haven’t seen most of Rebels, but Ezra was pretty lame in the parts I did catch. Also because I think Cameron Monaghan is a good actor and ponchos make sense to me as Jedi attire.
