Darko posted:Wait, how is she stupid? She was right about everything she did/said and flipped the "incompetent leader vs. the plucky young upstart" trope upside down as it was Poe who was the idiot who thought he knew what was best for everyone. It would have gone a lot better if she'd thought about slamming a ship into the Super Duper Star Destroyer at lightspeed when they still had 20 ships and all their people. They were literally abandoning ship after ship or watching them blow up. Any one of those ships could have done a U-turn and maybe the entire rebellion wouldn't now consist of like 5 people.

No I mean it sounds like TLJ because it has alot of "gently caress you JJ" moments. Destroying the iconic mask (also a gently caress you hasboro or whoever makes the toys), not killing off Leah, making the Mary Sue chick a nobody.

I think this trashfire is a lot more toasty than the factory-churned out and pandering Star Wars movies that Disney will now happily use to make their $$$. Those at least function enough to bring in the cash. Walking Dead, tho, looks like it might actually be heading towards some sort of financial collapse with the promised changes to Fear's team and them continuing to drive the main series into self-indulgent post-apocalyptic philosophy class. Or at least it'll be interesting to see how far you can push a modern audience before they just snap and turn on you.

Did Rick get shot in the gut at some stage? I can't remember, but it looked that way whilst he was sitting under a stained glass tree at the end of the episode. As uber cheesy as it would have been, the show would have been way better off if they went all Carl is Immune/Arabic Dr has a cure/Some kind of CDC outfit is operating back in Atlanta etc. Get the loving show moving again.

I actually thought Morgan’s gut grabbing/ventriloquist scene was surprisingly resonant/layered. You have a man - Ezekiel - who play acts as a king. His throne is literally on a theatre stage. Morgan, who is most deffo not play acting, does some serious Shakespearean violent villainous poecy also literally on-stage. Ezekiel the Shakespeare-play-acting-dethroned-bard-king looks on in horror as reality spills out all over his stage. So there was at least one good minute. Rick’s godawful stuttering was the pits though. Also - the group of “claimed!” men that Darryl fell in with where Rick bit the neck out of the leader were the last compelling bad guys. They should have given them a lot more time and development. But then, knowing TWD writing, maybe that would have ruined them. So maybe we’re better off this way.

(I'm a Daryl fan.) Speaking of Daryl why the hell does he get nothing now? Are they paid by the word or what? Literally everything is being done wrong and this includes not using this actor, a fan favorite AT ALL.

Yea, Rick hiding under bed and then Michonne and CORAL walking back unawares was seriously tense. They were also a good example of a realistic “made bad by the world” group. Instead now we have the up-uppers.moist turtleneck posted:Darryl the idiot was mad that he got the rear end end of the possum which is actually the good side Interestingly, this also p much describes my kink.

"TEN Mississipi! NINE Mississipi!" But yea, if Negan also has a great actor behind it, but his poo poo got run into the ground all the same after 1 season of dumb writing...I'm honestly glad those raider dudes just went out the way they did.

yeah the claimed bandits and to a lesser extent the cannibals were the best villains because they acted like actual people, and the stakes felt as believable as the show gets. also the morning after throat bite conversation between rick and Daryl was legit moving.

I looked away for a minute as they were leaving Alexandria, looked up, and of loving course they're not only visiting Lothar and the Trash People but they've already been outwitted, which means they are losers on this week's Are You More Likely To Survive The Zombie Apocalypse Than A Fifth-Grader?

Why would 38 men matter any more than the roughly 120+ that Rick and folk have murdered? Like if Ogg was running the Saviors, they'd have been done with this nonsense months ago.

This community of people who claimed to kill every outsider they encountered, sure are bad at killing every stranger they encounter. And even when those people stole all your guns, and then killed your leader. Seriously who the hell thinks this is a logically consistent series of interactions?
