Captain Lavender posted:That's Adam Scott isn't it. well they shut down that destroyer's shields and engines in the previous scenes I believe, allowing the hammerhead, a ship designed to ram things, to give it the thrust it needed to fall with the planet's gravity into the shield gate. why is this scene so hard to understand?

every time worf got the defiant he was blowing up civilian ships, fighting other federation ships, or trying to ram it into something oh and i swear that corvette thing was taken from one of the extra campaigns for the original x-wing. you capture some kind of corvette and then there's a cut scene of it taking out like 5 star destroyers that are all lined up in a perfect row.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:But it wasn't the capital ship. He ordered a Hammerhead Corvette to ram the disabled star destroyer, and it's pretty much designed for exactly that. Everybody watch the 300 sequel. It's basically 300 on ships with Eva Green as the antagonist. It's all ancient Greek naval combat, which meant boating running into each other and then people fighting with swords and spears and poo poo on those boats. The big climax is the main character emerges from the bowels of a ship on a goddamn horse and rides it across a field of burning ships all clumped together.

The main climax is Eva Green's can contractually obligated sex scene.

Yeah it's not. Just the idea of a capital space ship being build to withstand ramming wasn't totally obvious to me. Calling a ship "Hammerhead" in an armada commanded by fish monsters makes its role at least a little ambiguous. Again though - again - it's fine. It looked cool. It's all fine.

Literally the only concrete thing I remember from that 300 sequel is the scene between Eva Green and Protagonist Dude where they're doing that thing where the villain is an overly sexy lady who's obnoxiously flirty with the protagonist (think, like, any time Batman deals with a female villain) and they actually just end up loving right there whereas in other movies it never goes beyond the creepy flirting. It was actually kinda funny.

Entropic posted:TFA would have been like 50% better if they'd just found a way to cut the Death Star III plot entirely though, christ. I wis they had just ripped off Char's Counterattack. The remnants of the Empire's space fleet show up to surrender, but it turns out it's a trick, and then there's a desperate battle in orbit over Coruscant as the Republic tries to stop the Empire from blowing up the planet

i never liked 300 that much because i don't like stylized comic book versions of actual history, but the just loving the flirty female villain is a good way to get past the whole overly virtuous hero thing. as a side note, does anyone remember that aeon flux version of alexander the great? now that poo poo was loving nuts.

There's barely any actual history in those 300 movies. The Battle of Thermopylae is just something for the filmmakers to hang a lot of homo eroticism and gore on. Which makes those movies alright in my book.

They also portrayed Artemisia as a street urchin when she was one of the most powerful women ever.

300 is a really entertaining movie but it's one of those things where the criticisms against it are all valid and I can't really defend it. It's a love it or hate it kind of movie.

Guy Goodbody posted:Reign: The Conqueror i barely watched any of it. i remember it being creepy, extremely homoerotic, and it had weird poo poo like people using flying machines and dropping bombs and elephants that used their trunks like flame throwers. also there is a lot of scenes where people appear to be loving giant snakes.

Rise of an Empire is great because half of the is taking the piss out of how blatantly fascist the first movie is. The Athenians are all "yeah let those spartan nut jobs have their glorious death on land, if that armada gets around them we're hosed.

1)R1 was an okay movie that had a ridiculously awesome finale. Everything aside from that was ultimately forgettable, which is why I get real kneejerky when people claim it's the best Star Wars movie in the franchise. Empire is a better, more exciting film from start to finish. Consistency is a big deal to me. R1 is kinda similar to RotJ in that regard; awesome finales tarnished by baffling decisions in the middle. Ewoks, random space terrorist leader, it's all the same. 2)300, part deux, was hilarious for its battle sex scene and that was really enough for me to

She was a local dynast (Queen of Caria, in Anatolia, also a Greek), who ruled as a vassal of the Great King of Persia, because local dynasties and monarchies were usually left in power subservient to the Persians in areas they conquered. She commanded all of 5 warships in the battle of Salamis.

It was a ship they took from the RTS Star Wars: Empire at War. They were not very damaging but they were a cheap way to take a capital ship out of play in order to divide and conquer.

R1 the better of the 2 new movies and it did it without an opening crawl. JJ was being JJ throwing poo poo on the wall like he does with every movie he makes. TFA had all your icons you expect like how you have like John Williams to the point they blatantly stole from itself. None of it pays off or has any real setup. TFA was like 90's Pepsi trying to be an extreme of Coke.

At least TFA gave a poo poo about its new characters. Rogue One sucks the dick of original trilogy so much that the new characters get sidelined so that Vader and Tarkin get spotlight whenever they appear.

The movie where the new characters weren't developed so that we could have unrelenting applause breaks for the Millennium Falcon, Han, Chewie, Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2, and Vader's mask definitely didn't suck any nostalgia dicks at all.

I always liked Tarkin and thought he was a really underrated character and that still didn't make Rogue One enjoyable.

CG aside, Tarkin was one of the interesting bits in R1 how he hosed over Krennic in a display of the bureaucratic backbiting in the Empire. My favourite thing about R1 was how Krennic was a villain not because he was a horrible evil shithead but because he had some loving DEADLINES to hit if he wanted to get the sweet promotion and kudos from the Emperor! He was definitely the my favourite character in the movie and the most memorable.

Make Jyn Erso his daughter who worked as a pilot who defects to the Rebellion. You can cut down the number of characters and have some interesting conflict that way. Krennic was great whenever he was onscreen. The Archaic fucked around with this message at 14:27 on Apr 22, 2017 |
