Acebuckeye13 posted:I was disappointed by the new Star Wars if only because the seem physically incapable of not following the old movies to the letter. gently caress, if you're going to do something, do something new, don't just redo the old movies with different scenery and some different twists. Like did you see the new Star Wars which basically said gently caress dynasties and the old stuff we are going to do something new. I mean yea Force Awakens is pretty much a remake but Last Jedi is it's own thing.

That's good to hear, I was part of the minority who didn't like Force Awakens when it came out because the whole movie just felt like bad fanfiction with no new ideas. Wasn't going to see the new one if it continued that trend, might reconsider if they're going in a new direction.

Yes I wonder what the difference between these too things are. Surely not Iris and Joe West and Cisco Ramon being front and center and me not liking what I'm hearing with regards to Finn's storyline. Like I'm looking at it from a different standpoint to you. Different people have different things that are important to them when it comes to storytelling. Shocking.

I liked the new SW movie. It basically had to create some new poo poo or it was going to be retreads of the original trilogy forever. They did that and I'm fine with it. Black Panther is going to own so loving hard, though, and part of the joy will be harvesting the tears of white comic book fanboys(I am a white comic book fan).

You're basically exactly the person the new movie is aimed at, to the point that someone is lying to you spoiler-free quote from a spoiler-filled article quote:The Last Jedi has a clear message: The nearly all-white, overwhemingly male, privilege-based way of thinking that celebrates war culture and toxic masculinity and that created the First Order has to go, both in the larger world and as it’s internalized in our hearts and minds, and in its place will be something entirely new, created by diverse young people who are walking away from war culture, walking away from toxic masculinity, walking away from systems of privilege. What new society will they create? We don’t know. But we do know that old ways of thinking have failed us in every possible way.

Boon posted:You admitted you didn't see it and haven't said what you heard so why are you being defensive about this? Because whenever representation is brought up someone almost always comes out of the woodwork to shut it down or bitch at me about why I care. Representation is important, full stop. I'm glad it seems like the movie is good on that. What I've heard is Finn's storyline was pointless and he was unnecessarily physically brutalized by space Nazis. If that's not the case I'm ecstatic. But I mean in that context, of course I'd be unhappy with it.

Star Wars was fine (if a bit long) and the "Unlimited Power" cocktail I got from the theater bar was tasty. It's worth a matinee if you're into it, but it's neither the best or worst movie I've seen this year.

The Empire reformed into the First Order because the problem wasn't contained to one or two bad guys at the top. That was the whole point of the movie. A few people at the top can neither fix nor break the system. The system was broken before the Empire because the system had stopped giving a poo poo about people. Killing Vader and the Emp didn't fix the problem because they are the symptoms, not the cause.

Mild spoilers, but still His storyline ended up not mattering to the outcome, but it was still a very core part of the film. He basically just got hosed over because the Empire actually decided to have a basic modicum of security on their god damned flag ship for once. He still had a lot of great scenes, both action and comedy. And he definitely came off better than Poe because more than anything, TLJ was 2 and half hours of just making GBS threads on him for trying to look heroic instead of actually thinking. Also, Rey does some cool stuff and learns that there is a lot more to being a good person than just achieving the title of Jedi Edit: Trump Thread II: Star Wars chat, itt The Glumslinger fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Dec 22, 2017 |

Bottom Liner posted:the entire point of TLJ was to poo poo on past Star Wars films Yeah, and it did so while ripping the old ones off wholesale. The broad strokes of TLJ are practically identical to ESB with a bit of ROTJ mixed in, and the visuals and events of specific scenes are meant to specifically evoke the old films. It's a cynical attempt to take the old films, wrap them with some slightly darker tones with different twists (Oh, Luke's an rear end in a top hat now! Rey's parents weren't important at all! How loving transgressive!), and present it as a new, fresh take on the franchise, and to me it all just rings completely and utterly hollow.
