The Arrow TV show: they drink vodka as though it were water or wine. Also Oliver's Russian sounds horrendous, but maybe that's because I've not spoken the language for a while, but it still sounds somewhat off.

Star Wars - The Force Awakens... So Stormtroopers are not mindless drones or nefarious clones, but brainwashed child soldiers capable of growing up in a Stormtrooper compound with compassion, humour and a range of other emotions, but it's still OK for them to get gunned down en masse by the "good guys" because... they were abducted by bad guys as children? Hey Resistance, is that not even slightly morally questionable? And the leader of the Stormtroopers is someone so ruthless and committed to her cause that she... gives up her base's shield and condemns everyone, including herself, to almost guaranteed death so that she won't be shot by the janitor and an old man. "Please don't kill me, I'd rather die than be dead." - Captain Phasma. Han Solo: once a badass, now a loser. But everything about the original trilogy was rendered pointless anyway, so what does one more character matter? You thought Alderaan was bad, well we just did that TIMES FIVE! You thought the Death Star was cool, well we just made it into an ENTIRE PLANET! You thought the Rebel Alliance defeating the second Death Star was an important victory, well not in the slightest - the past 30 years have seen the winning team splinter into two divisions that are both unable to defeat their reorganised original foe, kinda like World War II, except the Empire wasn't a goddamn country so why the hell did the Alliance let them recoup in the first place?! I think I might know why, it's because the good guys are USELESS, just like in the prequel trilogy. "But they rebranded themselves, we can't just waltz in there and shut them down or anything, it would be a bureaucratic nightmare, can you imagine the paperwork for the senate?! Also, our key demographics on Coruscant think that royalty is passe now and military is the new hotness." - General Leia. This movie was a convoluted piece of garbage with scenes that were about 75% remake of the first movie without any of the inherent simplicity that made A New Hope so memorable. And yet, even though they borrowed most of ANH, they gave the Force Awakens an Empire Strikes Back ending - what the hell? What is wrong with people that this awful movie is so popular?! Is it because it's better than the Phantom Menace? I did a poo poo earlier that was a better movie than the Phantom bloody Menace.

If you want an answer to the question as opposed to screaming into the empty void why not go to the Cinema discussion area, they'll probably be able to give you reasons!

Fine, I'll go over there right now. In fact, I'll fly over there in this old piece of space junk that's been sitting in the desert for 30 years. Lucky for me the keys are still in the ignition. Also, it is lucky for me that despite being an old piece of space junk it can still perform deft hyperspace maneuvers after some cursory maintenance. I will fly over to Cinema Discusso immediately with my rhetorical questions in hand.

I think a lot of people forget how cheesy and full of coincidences and poo poo the original trilogy was full of. Everything is space magic at best and the writers going *shrug* at worst.

John Carpenter's Prince of Darkness: How did everyone who survived not end up in jail at the end of the movie? There were at least 4 mutilated bodies scattered around the church, how did they explain that to the police? " Oh I know it looks bad officer, what with all the dead bodies and all, but they were all posessed by green devil liquid, all of which is now gone".

Leastwise that's what I would do if I had problems with a big film, they are generally better at the analysis ideas than here.

The survivors were all obviously traumatised, there were signs of a siege - remember that the church doors were barricaded from the outside - several people who had been inside were missing entirely, and the area was known for its homeless problem.

Ain't no swiping of a hotel room key gonna get that war rig going. Sorry, I watched that last night and well, sw can't hold a candle to it.

Force users, Jedi and Sith, are basically walking WMDs.quote:[Luke can't levitate his X-Wing out of the bog] Whilst the Jedi are, theoretically, bound by a code to do no harm and only use the force as a defensive measure, there's nothing really stopping the Sith reaching into you with the force and pinching off your carotid artery or crushing your heart. Or at the other end of the scale a force user(or users) could rip a planet or star apart, no need for a Death Star or a Starkiller base. If we take what Yoda says above at face value, size ain't poo poo to the force so be careful what you say around those force using dudes. Really the Republic should be rounding up any force sensitives and wiping them out before they start experimenting with their powers. Even if they are Jedi there's the remote possibility of them falling to the dark side so they should be taken out too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PbdyJ_ybSI

Smoke posted:It's more of a "The droid escaped and is now with at least one person who might lead it to/be from the Resistance" thing, not related to who or what she is at all. Finn's presence also makes it worse because if you can't trust your Stormtroopers who can you trust? No, they tell him the droid got away and he's calm. It's only when they say it got away with a girl that he goes off. He clearly knows something about Rey and that she's on Jakku, and just the chance of it being her with BB8 makes him flip out.

Aphrodite posted:No, they tell him the droid got away and he's calm. It's only when they say it got away with a girl that he goes off. Maybe he sensed a Force User/Force Sensitive person nearby, and was able to tell that it was female. He detects his father when he arrives on the same planet/superweapon so it's not too far off to think that he detected her during his time over Jakku and put it all together when the droid ended up with a girl. He might even assume Luke was training Jedi or something since right now his whereabouts are a total mystery to Kylo.

I just saw it the one time but I'm positive it was the fact that Fin was involved that flipped him out. One of his child soldiers raised from birth to be completely loyal, has not only deserted and run off. But now he's actively helping the other side and loving Kaylo over even more.

He does flip out when they mention Finn helped. Thats when he trashes the console. Then he asks if there's anything else. The officer mentions a girl, and Kylo force pulls him into a choke and asks super intensely, "What girl!?" So I'm thinking he definitely knows she's significant in some way.

I'm almost positive they're setting up a connection between Luke and Rey for the sole reason that they want a tone reversed callback scene in the 2nd one where Luke says "I am your father" and instead of it being horrifying it's heartfelt. That's basically Disney: A bit hacky and you can see it coming miles away, but it'll work anyway because people eat up that kind of thing.

I just took it to mean that he was surprised Finn had some help. Dude has never been on Jakku except for when he was tasked with killing people, ends up with a droid that has a map Ren desperately needs, and then boom, Finn gets ANOTHER person involved somehow and it seems like the whole "Just go to the planet and get the only functional droid" plan is snowballing into some gigantic clusterfuck.
