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.

...I literally don't see what TLJ has to do with ESB, but you do you

I guess there's some visual references

I mean, Dr Frankenstein was both completely reckless in his actions, and then spent forever trying to avoid having to pay the price for his actions until he gives in and dooms the world (at least if I'm remembering the book correctly, and I'm probably not)

Actually actually the monster views Dr Frankenstein as his father and refers to himself at least once as “Adam”, so his name might plausibly be said to be Adam Frankenstein.

Frankenstein can be the name of both the monster and the doctor!

I'm gonna have to reread TFS because I don't actually remember why I liked book one a lot and book two merely adequately.

same with the inheritance trilogy, actually

never made it to inheritance book 3, and TFS book 3 wasn't out yet (because I'd still have read it, the setting is loving cool)

Dapper_Swindler posted:

loving this. the movie is all about the older generation either loving up and or failing or being stupid monsters and its up to the younger generation to make it a better place. the only bad part of finns arc is how badly hamfisted the ending is. other then that he is fine, that bad parts of his plot line arnt on him, its all weird pacing issues. the themes are still strong and tie into the rest of the movie.

Did you watch the same movie I did? Its completely filled back to front with the younger generation being the fuckups and only the old wise generation being able to be proved absolutely right and then saving the day by being better than anyone else could ever hope to be and pulling stupidly powerful poo poo they couldn't do before outta their asses. Hell, young people trying to go against the wishes of their elders accomplishes jack and poo poo all, except to (a) replace Snoak with someone slightly more competent, and (b) get 99% of the Rebellion forces slaughtered. If they'd all shut up and done as they were told by Luke and Leia, they'd be exactly where they are now but with a less capable enemy and more resources. Its almost to a Forrest Gump level of "You young people need to sit down and do as you're told and let the older people who know better handle things"

Everything that Finn, Poe and Rey do in this movie only serves to make things worse, with the sole exception of Rey lifting the rocks. What are these failures of the older generation? I can't think of one thing anyone over 50 did in that movie that wasn't the perfect thing to do and anyone who questioned it was proven to be the worst.

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.

You didn’t ever say anything about WHY you didn’t like TLJ you’re only just now briging up loving representation holy poo poo 😅😅😅😅😅

LUFTHANSA YOU FUCKING DICKWEASEL
Finn didn't do poo poo and it's obvious they had no idea what to do with him. His entire side quest could have been cut out of the movie. The main reason it was there was to show that people profit off of war. His win against Phantasma isn't even as fulfilling as it should have been because he spent most of the fight getting his rear end kicked. A big star wars might find the deconstruction of the series that the film does interesting, but to someone like me who isn't obsessed with it, it was too long and poorly structured.

Donald Trump is dumb and a bad president.

This might be related to the law lined out in SB91. They tried to free up money in our budget crisis and reduce overcrowding in the jails by sending most misdemeanor and some felony arrests home with house arrest, third party or promise to appear.

Probably a good idea in theory but they didn't set up all the other infrastructure and monitoring systems this requires before just cutting people loose with a promise not to commit any more crimes until their court date. It got so bad that the city of Anchorage had to pass it's own law making it a crime to be riding in a stolen car, since actually STEALING the car basically got you a ticket.
