Lmao
Sorry, that just reminded me of this.
someone earlier said the last jedi was so close to being ok. its kinda like how if i shot myself perfectly in the center of my forhead id be so close to solving all my problems, so close.
@Arch-Fiend i linked a video which pretty well explains why.
its the only starwars movie ive ever hated, so i think its a bit worse than "just misses the mark"
it actually makes me think less of the earlier film, NO movie has ever done that before
not necessarily. sometimes just a change of context can flip a scene and motif 180.
sometimes you can see a bad sequal but it doesent harm the predicesser much, this is not the case
and the video had 12 of those instances so thats only a few changes but a massive shift in overall story
first one being instead of luke just straight up trying to murder kylo, he instead saw snoke much in the same way he sees kylo when rey is with him, and that is what he is reacting to when he activates his lightsaber. So then kylo actually isn't right that luke was about to kill him.
that helps, so another change is completely changing lukes entire character too right? like making him not the worst character in starwars history?
here, watch the video, see if you think these changes would be enough to make it serviceable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8ksEz8Qq1k
nah its fine, i know what needed to be done to make that movie better, i think anyone with a brain does
so im sure its good but unfortunately i just dont want to give it any of my time
fair enough
but i think those are small enough that they could go back and reshoot them for not a lot of money, and the pull a Lucas and release a "remastered" version with the changes
the last jedi has zero redeeming qualities. the story makes no sense, the characters boring, uninteresting, unlikeable and stupid (in the sense of... dumb... not intelligent... just... stupid), the "jokes" destroy any suspension of disbelief and the combination of all those things made absolutely sure that i will not spend any money on seeing episode 9.
And then Disney finds new and uninteresting ways to make it even worse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9OXqzLvYJM
So in short: she leeched all of Kylo's training and powers from him because of mind bridge thingy.
So, shortcut to power, because we can't actually have any real development take place or have her character go through any real hardships now, can we?
Just when you think they can't possibly make this situation with Star Wars any worse and dig this hole any deeper, somehow a Disney employee manages to find a shovel.
It could have been so easy to insert a scene where she's looking into Kylo's mind and seeing his memories of being a Padawan and training at the temple. Being able to see the new order in it's beginnings, the potential, the hope, and then then we as an audience could learn and decide on the truth of Kylo and Luke's relationship leading up to the attempted murder
But noooooooooo...We get shitty authority figures and casinos
*And an entire subplot that didn't need to even exist.*
In fact, scratch that.
The entire **movie** doesn't need to exist.
Disney decended to follow EAs business model. Buy an existing IP, quickly release substandard product and rack in as much fanboy money as possible, then kill off the IP so it doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
I knew Disney would run Star Wars into the ground, but I didn't think they'd do it within the span of a single trilogy.
Especially given how overall pretty good the Marvel movies tend to be.
With some exception.
If anything, I thought they'd just do what they do with Marvel movies, only it's in a Star Wars skin.
My prediction was that 7-9 would be pretty good, with 9 probably being weak, and then things would start going downhill by Episode 11.
However, while a bit predictable, I didn't think rogue one was all that bad. Don't get me wrong, not short on room to improve, but not terrible
But then Disney was like "hold my beer."
I would like to have seen the pre-reshoot version of Rogue One.
Something tells me that was going to be much more interesting.
What was their excuse for the reshoots? It was 'too dark' for the casual audience?
Not sure how much darker you can get than "everyone dies."
The solo movie has been more or less written off but I'm still curious what it looks like.
Oh yeah, I have *zero* hope for the Solo movie.
We shall see. If it's like everything else, then no surprise. If, by some miracle, it stays about 7 and 8 in the vague area of rogue one, then there might be some life left in the EU, even if the main story is tanked.
I kind of went on a bit of a tyraid on another discord after hearing that they removed the guns/blasters off of the international movie posters.
Probably an overreaction, but for some reason it really set me off. lol
Because it just reminded me of the whole ET walkie-talkie thing.
This is a problem I first really started to notice in halo when 4 came out. If a series is wrapped up with a decent enough ending, the it's best to expand the IP sideways and or back in time. Leaving anything happening after the wrap up event for things like books which usually fair better than visual mediums.
Particularly in series that span at least 3 installments.
Yeah, or jump forward, but even then if you jump forward enough it is practically a side story.
Usually by that time you have so much material that is just sitting around the edges you can just start picking up random pieces and spawning their own story lines and SubIPs.
I really miss Halo, but I don't like what it's become.
I really hope, if halo survives 6, which to be fair, while not great, the story isn't horrible. But they've had to do some serious leg work in the books to make that happen, but I hope they start expanding outwards.
Like there is some much in the halo lore that they could use.
It doesn't need to be a "halo" game in the game play sense.
Halo wars has been good, I personally loved ODST.
A GTA or LA Noire style halo might be interesting
ODST was one of my favorite games.
I just had to coach a kid through a damned middle school lesson.
Some kid up in New York, 8th grade, English - Language Arts.
He's been asked to write an essay on 'Privilege'.
Accompanying worksheet:
```Aim; To explore the idea of adversity through the lens of identity and race
Do Now: Add to your vocab list:
Meritocracy: A society/system where people are rewarded based on hard work and achievement.
Merit: Quality or action that deserves reward (or punishment)
What is/are the differences between between Privilege and Merit?
One is earned (merit).
What is it that makes talking about race difficult for white people?
How is racism a โsystemโ and not a scientific quality?
What are your thoughts on the 3rd grade teacher and her students questions?
How has being white shaped the sense of identity for many of these people?
What does it mean to be โcolorblindโ? How do you feel about it?
What is the privilege that comes with being white?```
This video was accompanying the lesson, and referenced in the questions: The 3rd grade teacher, Sense of Identity, and 'Colorblind'.
This lesson is absolute indoctrination, straight up. IN AN ENGLISH CLASS.
sad truth is that the kid is also gonna be in trouble if he doesn't write an anti-white essay
he can't just write "the concept of privilege is used in a modern racist society to ignore the basic merit a person possesses" in there
so this is those tech bros they always talk about?
@RyeNorth should have just told him to write "all whites deserve death" and see what he got for a grade later.
I would have told him privilege is a racist concept used to keep white people from defending themselves or having an opinion.
but, you see, my approach wouldn't get him murdered by the lynch mob
that's a good one liner
"How has being white shaped the sense of identity for many of these people?"
I thought white people didn't have an identity, or that they were not allowed to have one?
Except, you know... when talking about privilege, *then* white people exist...
โWhite peopleโ ๐ tell a french guy that he is just the same as a brit or a german...
Tell a muslim terrorist the difference.
Tell a black south African out to 'kill the white farmer' the difference.
