meh, I didn't have a job when I was 20, he's obviously a lot busier than me - probably less time to watch classic movies. that being said, we watched them in school.

I feel like your history teacher was really stretching to include 'A long time ago, in a galaxy far away' as part of the curriculum.

Not having seen original Star Wars is the most loving retarded thing to get worked over for a young dude. Good, I'm glad he hasn't seen it. gently caress Star Wars it's retarded and he spent more time making something of himself and his career instead.

Also it's weird to watch episodes 1-3 and 7 of anything and then go "Yeah I really enjoyed those but episodes 4-6 ehhhhh can't be bothered."

Most people don't really care about continuity and just go see whatever movies are popular in theatres whenever they feel like going. I'll bet there are more people who've seen a few random entries in the Harry Potter series than have seen all seven.

I liked it enough to watch Thor 1 later.

I guarantee there are dozens of much better movies he hasn't seen at 20. And it's not weird at all that he watched the latest release movies then didn't go back to movies from 20 years before. In fact, for the people who loathe the prequels it makes perfect sense that his attitude was "ok these were good but I don't care to see the same thing with worse special effects" without realizing the original trilogy is a masterpiece you guys holy poo poo I can't believe he hasn't seen them!!

He also said in the interview that he probably won't see Star Wars any time soon, because he's extremely busy. Some actors just aren't even all that into watching movies. As a movie fanatic that's always weird to think about but some of them seem to enjoy the acting gig overall but don't really love movies as a pastime.

The addition of Cate Blanchett to Ming-Na Wen, Liv Tyler, Rene Russo, Glen Close, Gwyneth Paltrow, Angela Bassett, and Tilda Swinton in the MCU and Lou Ferrigno signing on for at least 3 more movies are the only things keeping me going at this point.

There's also actors/filmmakers working on remakes who specifically avoid watching the original to ensure they bring something fresh to it, or at least avoid being overly influenced by the earlier performances.

IIRC in the book Thrawn is aware that one of those guys is a clone because he's like "note the extra U in the name" but no one in the entire galaxy has ever seen the name written down at that point.

Actually Thrawn noticed the "Joruus C'baoth's Pad - All Others Keep Out!" on the hut BTW I didn't look up the name and did it from memory. How bad did I gently caress it up?

I forgot that Loki is actually a frost giant and not Asgardian. Why does he look human then? Or does he actually look like an ice giant and he's projecting that image instead? None of that really makes any sense.

None of that really makes any sense. Weve been over this, Ice Giant is a slur and the two groups are barely ethnically different from each other and if you think Loki should look different youve bought into Asgards institutionalized racism.

None of that really makes any sense. - Odin finds him as an infant Frost Giant. - Loki is the son of Laufey, the leader of the Frost Giants. - Odin just genocided most of the Frost Giant race and feels guilty/shows mercy to the infant. - His decision to not finish the genocide is not popular on Asgard. - He disguises Loki as an Asgardian and raises him as a son. - Loki doesn't realize that he is not Asgardian until the spell briefly falters. - He goes to Laufey to ask him what the deal is. - He has always loved Odin and sought his approval, but resented the fact that Thor was in line to be King. He thought that Odin was unfair because Thor was the oldest. - When he figures out that he is not Odin's biological son, then he thinks that it is not because he is the younger son, but that Odin has secretly hated him the whole time. He still allows the spell to function because he sees himself as Asgardian and he is going to "earn" the Throne. Also, nobody else knows about his heritage and they wouldn't accept him as a ruler if they did. In Thor 1, he decides to finish the genocide on his actual dad to get fake Dad's approval and kick Thor out of the line of succession.

People tend to forget that in the late 80's and early 90's you didn't have to set out to see Star Wars, it was unavoidable if you owned a television. It seemed like once a week there was a Star Wars marathon on cable, there was just no way around seeing them at some point. Things are different now, there are a lot more entertainment options available to kids and the OT is not nearly as prevalent on cable as it was during that time.

He didn't actually want to rule Asgard, he just thought (correctly) that Thor, being a brash warmonger, would be a disastrous king. It was only once Thor was banished and Odin in the Odinsleep that Frigga told Loki he had to lead. Then again, that last part was in a deleted scene, but nothing in the proper movie contradicts it.

I mean, this is getting kind of pedantic, but I think there's a difference between resenting, implying bitterness, and just realizing, rightly, that Thor isn't right for the job. It's only after Loki's prank backfires and his whole life crumbles around him that he comes to resent Thor.

He has always known his entire life that he was not the favored son, and then he finds out that actually he's not even Odin's son at all. So yea I think resentful is a very accurate word for what he is.
