Subversions just to subvert expectations do not work.
Adam Driver really stood out I admit. but he along with everyone else had a bad story to work with.
Finn, who I thought had great potential as a character was ruined in this film for laughs.
Rey is weakened as a character and Poe....... He got his balls cut off
Adam Driver is truly wasted potential. He’s not a bad actor, but he certainly feels wasted by the bad writing.
Rey was essentially fulfilled to be a Mary Sue right down to the last detail.
yep. The second film is supposed to beat the hero down, make then feel real and that they can be hurt. None of that happens
Also, Poe would have been such a good character along the lines of Wedge Antillies, but he was pretty much turned into the punching bag in the film.
I honestly believe they created Rose (asian chick) to get Finn off Rey so they could do the Rey/Kylo relationship.
That and they needed a diversity hire to sell to China only to see the film bomb in China.
tell me about it 😄 😄 😄
Its even funnier when you realize her family is from Vietnam
R I P
The nation that after beating the US, killed 20,000 chinese in a 4 month war.
The nation that China has always secretly hated.
Finn, could have been great. he in a sense is a child soldier having been raised to fight and the First Order being all he knows. But he acts and behaves like everyone else in the film like he's Han Solo for crying out loud
Plus I give major props to the actor. The guy spends more time interacting with fans and children then anyone else.
Yep. I honestly feel bad for him. I don’t hate the actors, but I really hate the writers and director(s) for these new films.
yeah. Episode 9 will sick or save the series
The franchise was already a sinking ship when Disney bought it. It was a matter of time before the thing began capsizing.
it my have been sicking, but at least the fanbase could still love it
Now I feel bitterness towards it in its current form
Honestly, I abandoned ship back around 2014 and just kept an eye on it with a good few thousand others.
Also, I loved the Clone Wars.
Top-tier series.
yeah. they really got good. Rebels is ok with major flaws. You can feel the disney on it when it comes to the battles.
I pray that the last season of Clone Wars is good
They’re pretty much going off of the storyboard ideas before the axed the series.
Also, Rebels was bad. I watched the premiere and I did not like it.
I watched all 4 seasons. The best episodes are ones when Clone Wars characters are involved.
in season 2 Rex joined the team
and Ashoka fought Vader.
but the series has good moments..... and not good stories
*Insert then stealing fruit here.*
The best episode of the whole show is about the rebels crew hanging out with a bunch of old Clones. Kanan (the Jedi) hates them.
Then in the next episode Rex and Kanan have to work together and there's some character stuff. but the rebels never outgrow the older character's shadows.
In the season 2 final, I'm not cheering for Kanan and Ezra, I'm cheering for Ashoka and Maul
That’s pretty sad, if you ask me.
You should be cheering for the new characters, but they simply pale in comparison to the characters who come along later in the series.
The only "New" villain that grows into his own in rebels is Thrawn. The season 3 and 4 villain. But that's largely because he's a fan favorite EU character.
He kicks the heroes butts in the season 3 final but does very little in the end.
Yeah, I really am disappointed with his portrayal in the show.
in short Rebels is 20% good, 60% meh, 20% garbage.
Thrawn is literally a mastermind genius who has been used by pro-Imperial fans as their idol character.
I love him as a character (looks over at self with 3 versions of the classic Thrawn novels
The Thrawn Trilogy is a masterpiece of writing.
