You faux nerds couldn't handle real sci Fi like the Dune movie. Why don't you spice it up then come back to chat.

Turns out the way to make a movie as good as the first trilogy is to completely crib the plot

If Joseph Campbell knew so much about myth how come he wasn't a demigod, huh?

Nope, and I don't intend to see it until sometime in the New Year. But I can't help but notice that, once again, you're taking a contrarian opinion on something, so I felt a little razzing was in order.

Now I'm going away. Goodbye. Have a nice weekend everyone.

I actually didn't mind seeing a new hope again, but it's a hell of a lot closer than just saying "oh it's the hero's journey of course it'll seem similar"

So you'd rather bluster about something you haven't even the foggiest idea of because you think my opinion is different than consensus

I'm sorry?

Or perhaps it's actually default to interpret "this film really leaned on another" as being snotty but I thought we emotionally passed "if you don't have anything nice to say" a long time ago

ofc, and saying "I liked it but it hewed closely to ANH's plot" is barely a criticism worth reacting to~

the one we live in now
the sad tale of as'sina the cat person.





(it randomly chose Warlock's Thrall)



As'sina puts on a ring of magick protection and suddenly finds herself... awake. Free. No longer commanded by her warlock master, she quickly quits the cave and sets off on a brave new world of adventure, of discovery, of... freedom.



she almost immediately runs into a body-hungry necromancer.





moral of the story: it is better to be alive and enthralled than dead and free.

Hmm I completely agree with this post, not nearly contrarian enough.
