Len posted:Gotham would be significantly better if they'd based it around Gotham Central which was Law & Order: Gotham Nah. The first season tried to do this, but it was terrible and they realized that it's pointless to have Gotham without the villains. It got way better once they figured out what to do with the show.

To be fair on Luke no one could predict that the Republic would let the imperials brutally own them with no resistance, and actively undermine the rebels trying to stop the imperials (because it's really bad writing)

FreudianSlippers posted:It's almost like Darth Vader being Luke's dad and not just a scary space samurai was something Lucas pulled out of his rear end for the sequel when he needed a good twist. In the early drafts of Return of the Jedi, Owen was Obi-Wan's brother. It was only decades later that Lucas decided nah, he's Luke's real uncle after all.

Before the prequels I just assumed that Owen and Beru were "aunt" and "uncle" in the same way that semi-adoptive foster parents who wished you weren't shoved into their lives are "aunt" and "uncle". Their last name was never mentioned, was it? Maybe it was in the credits or something, but "Owen Skywalker" was never uttered. Guess that's just my headcanon or whatever.

It's said out loud in attack of the clones at the very least, not sure if they say their full names in the OT. I knew their full name from a trading card.

crappy scripts can still make internal sense. the political situation of the sequels isn't implausible or unbelievable, it's just dull and largely ignored by its own narrative

It got way better once they figured out what to do with the show. Gotham is amazing now. - Teenage Bruce Wayne is running around at night beating up muggers dressed like a gimp. - A 10-year-old girl who loves plants (and lived in the same apartment as teenage Catwoman) fell into some chemicals and now her actress is replaced by a sexy 20-something actress. If you can't tell, this is the origin of Poison Ivy. - The Riddler has a crush on Penguin but Penguin had Mr Freeze.... freeze him and turn him into a decoration in Penguin's new bad guy HQ. - Speaking of Penguin, his stepmother and stepsiblings wanted to swindle him of his inheritence so his stepmother tried to have her daughter seduce penguin. This failed really badly when Penguin killed his stepsiblings and fed them to their mother. By the way, Penguin's father was played by Paul Reubens. - Alfred punched R'as Al-Ghul.

Timby posted:Urban legend, not true. Really? I remember having an art book awhile back that had a bunch of early production stuff back when the movie was going to be “Ghost Smashers,” with the heroes using wrist-mounted wands instead of proton packs, and the Winston character was specifically mentioned to have been intended for Eddie Murphy before things fell through. I mean, that was a vastly different iteration of the script (obviously), but I’ve never heard differently.

No one responded to this likely because it's wrong and bad but um Obi-Wan's outfit is, in fact, different from Luke and Luke's Uncle's. And not just different, but pretty fuckin different   They're very different, apart from the white and...a belt?

Brother Entropy posted:i really appreciate gotham's commitment to basically always have the most dramatic absurd thing the writers could think of happen happen in nearly every plot Seems kind of fitting, too. I should possibly watch it now. Though I don't like what they keep turning Poison Ivy into some kind of plant elemental thing on day one, she worked just fine in BTAS as a brilliant botanist and chemist descending into increasingly extreme views and only eventually turning herself irreversibly into something nonhuman. That show had quite a theme of villains in downward spirals. (or on the up and up; the first two seasons basically portray the decline of Gotham's traditional organised crime, paving the way for the freaks to take over almost completely)

The novel Kenobi is pretty much Western. It's honestly really good and they should adapt it if Ewan is up for it.

Davros1 posted:Star Wars is small. The moment you remove the Jedi or the Sith or the Rebellion or the Empire, it becomes generic sci-fi. I'm not calling for the removal or lessening of either. I guess I was just disappointed that the visual language for the whole Jedi was based on one character? Like, as an example, I can accept that the Naboo Queen wears faux geisha makeup because it's ceremonial. If Amidala's successor had shown up in the Red Geisha dress from Ep1, and the explanation was "it's traditional Naboo monarchy dress when negotiating with foreign envoys" it would make the world less colorful. Or, like, we meet another Corelian smuggler and he just has to have Han's pinstripe pants or something. Waffles Inc. posted:They're very different, apart from the white and...a belt? I'll concede that I might not be perceptive enough to the intricacies of the costuming in Ep4, but it's always been a case of "this is what you wear when you live in a desert planet" to me.

Five Nights at Freddy's is a jumpscare game about a grimdark pizza place full of murderous animatronic animals that enraptured a nation of youtube manchildren who pretended to scream a lot, gaining untold billions of elementary school fans along the way.
