Killing Dagmer Cleftjaw offscreen was some real cinematic malpractice and should have been more of a hint that Benioff & Weiss had no idea how to conclude a plotline imo

Gutcruncher posted:What a fuckin kick in the balls. Black Widow finally gets her own movie and it serves to introduce some fuckin lame loser replacement. Black Widow is the lamest Avenger so it's fitting. Comics BW was a little more interesting because she had the "quadruple crosser" thing going on, but Movie Widow is very bland. Hopefully the successor character is less of a loser.

Black/white releases are just cinematography flexes, "look how good and coherent our movie is", this Raiders example is pretty great: https://extension765.com/blogs/soderblog/raiders my only qualm is that not going full hog and gutting the sound is a pussy move

Famous people are often thin-skinned and insecure, the idea that they should restrain themselves from interacting with the lessers eager to own them wounds their soul It's like how Gina Carrano had an incredibly easy and lucrative job, but it required restraining herself from saying dumb poo poo. How dare you suggest she not say dumb poo poo, she can do whatever she wants!

The whole "Rian Johnson screwed the series, where could they go by the end of TLJ?" stuff is funny seeing as Colin Trevorrow already had a script for continuing after TLJ, it's pretty interesting If you dont mind hilariously amateur art, some dude is adapting it into a free comic: https://awinegarner.squarespace.com/duel-of-the-fates My fave parts are Kylo Ren being such an impatient rear end in a top hat that he murders the most ancient sith teacher, and later scene where a force ghost Luke grabs a flailing Ren's lightsaber and says "you are no Skywalker."

Not feeling some of those Jenny complaints ngl "Why are the resistance vs FO and ren vs. rey so disconnected" Exactly what would happen if Luke failed in Return of the Jedi, the second death star still gets destroyed, Vader and Palpatine either blow up with it or leave like losers, having been humiliated on an intergalactic scale by furries Also a lot of the Ren scenes are great because they mirror either TFA (talking to Vader's helmet, but this time rejecting him & yeeting it off the balcony) or TLJ (Ren also enters a gaping force hole, but he ends up being a lot more hostile to his teacher for his own failing than Rey)

Zzulu posted:If there are only ever two Sith, what happens when you kill those two? Aren't the sith extinct then Trevorrow script establishes that there's at least one gross alien dude who isnt a sith but can get you started on the path to being a sith, Palpatine left his coordinates for vader in the event he died Ren went bigtime grumpy and killed him

Cubone posted:it leaves you excited for where they're gonna go next, because for a series that's famously about finding the good in people, what do you do, what story do you tell, when they've already hit that "I feel the good in you" beat and it failed? in this heightened, mythological reality, what can our heroes do about a lost member of the family who doesn't want to be redeemed? All the Ren stuff in TLJ was great tho, from Mr. Worldwide to shanking Snoke for Rey to getting tricked by Luke I get some of the [very dumb] complaints about TLJ but if you wanted the continuation of Ren being a weird conflicted dork, you got exactly that

Godzilla is immune to being cratered because most godzilla movies are bad in some way, it's a fandom laser-focused on the few things each movie does well

Most godzilla movies are not going to be Shin Godzilla, and tbh I wouldn't want them all to be Shin Godzilla The schlocky & flawed nature of the franchise is half the fun, sitting through tedious human beats, enjoying when godzilla flies feet-forward on his tail or king kong getting a monkey axe, picking out what each movie did well and having a laugh at the bad parts

Iirc Jay thought it was worse, Rich thought it was better-but-bad For all the jokes about Subverting Your Expectations I dont recall their TLJ review even being that negative, just critical, Rich seemed like the only one who super disliked it E: this is a movie where it's overtly said "rich people dont give a poo poo if the space fascists win, they're selling weapons to everyone" idk where people got the idea that TLJ is a lib movie

General Dog posted:One big irony of the entire discourse about TLJ is that the movie really does Boyega and Tran a great disservice by cordoning them off into a fairly half-baked b-plot and that even the he movie’s staunchest supporters are pretty hard-pressed to say much good about. Casino planet was lame but I liked Rose's two-scene arc; her sister sacrificed to achieve a pyrhic victory that kicked off the movie dilemma, so when Finn decides he's going to fly a hover dirtbike into a warehouse sized superweapon she stops him from doing something stupid Had a hearty lmao at all the "SHE RUINED HIS MOMENT! SHE SHOULD HAVE LET HIM DIE" nonsense when the movie first came out, especially when it accompanied "I'm mad that Luke died" complaints
