i just saw the second to last episode of s3 of west world and it’s insanely stupid. nothing makes any sense at all, nothing is internally consistent at even a basic level. why do the robots sometimes get hurt when shot in the torso and sometimes they’re fine? why is maeve still hunting dolores after she got the other dolores brain copy and has the key she needs? what’s the point of jesse pinkman at all? how are the guy trying to save the world and the person trying to stop him both unironically treated as bad guys? what are bernard and stubbs even trying to do and why do they think they need william and why did they keep hanging out with him after he threatened to kill them?

im yelling at my tv while watching this it’s complete trash

I thought it was an okay movie but I also don't give a poo poo about star wars. What annoys me is that they have a literal universe to work with and create something new but they keep on using things from the original trilogy to drive the nostalgia factor.

I feel like mandalorian is heading in the same direction.

i vaguely remember reading some interview with rian johnson where he said he asked how movie #8 should end, like where should all the characters end up to set the stage for 9. and disnep just said "i dunno its your movie dude, dont ask us" lol

i appreciate that he then took this freedom and used it to roof the ball and completely gently caress over the entire franchise for no real reason

I hate 7 because of this. The first five minutes seemed really interesting and then it was like, "No, lol, that's not the movie you're getting. Enjoy another rehash of 4."

i remember feeling this way about s3 too. it’s a trash fire that got insanely dumbed down so more people would hopefully watch it

i would also add “why does Maeve use a samurai sword in the real world of the future” to the wtf list

the basic answer to your questions about why certain characters are still in it doing w/e tae gently caress is probably “they had signed 3 season contracts with a certain minimum amount of airtime in a certain minimum number of episodes”

westworld was a moderately interesting idea that got turned by s3 into setups for a bunch of incredibly unimpressive "epic moments" that are all dumb as hell if you think about them for more than 5 seconds

ie the computer that runs the entire goddamn world has less security than a regional airport

it’s not incredible but it’s still an enjoyable movie. just ignore the fans who think that hating it makes them cool.

people say it contradicts TLJ but not really. Kylo Ren puts his mask back together but that was probably due to marketing more than anything.

ROS was a fine action movie, which isn't really what Star Wars movies are supposed to be, but it was decently enjoyable nonetheless. could have stood to lose like 10-15 minutes of runtime (although the story may have made even less sense at that point), and maybe make Ren's fight against the Knights/the Palpy fight longer and cooler

West World season 2 was really loving stupid and bad, but still fun to watch imo for the set design/locations and really for the performances. Ed Harris, Anthony Hopkins, and Jeffrey Wright were just ripping dingers every goddamn scene they were in, Thandie Newton and James Marsden were lovely and sad, and ERW was decent and easy on the eyes. I haven't watched season 3 and idk if I will, is it still at least entertaining as far as terrifically executing a terrible plot?


e: re: ROS - how are you gonna set up and even show the cloning tanks and poo poo and not pay that off? have a clone Snoke pop out to fight Rey and Ren, or a bunch of clone Palpatines or something. hell even a cloned Vader could have been interesting

honestly it's 100% worse. it's mostly maeve and dolores having a samurai ninja battle and jesse from breaking bad making angst faces. actually it's mostly setting up maeve and dolores having an epic cyborg ninja showdown battle which is ultimately them fighting in an abandoned parking lot while squibs from the world's worst aiming drone go off everywhere

im enjoying s3 but i also had no expectations for the series and am usually cooking while im watching, so the dumb contrived plot bits don’t matter to me im just enjoying the fact they actually tried to make a cyber dystopia.

didn’t they say in season 1 that no humans knew what Arnold looked because he’d had his history wiped and everyone assumed he killed himself before the corp took over
