roomtone posted:there's also just the thing where you do a one episode story, and it turns out a lot better/more popular than expected - you've just hit on something you can expand, maybe even change the whole direction of a show, new characters who are just working on screen etc This is how I feel about Witcher The first ep of season 2 was probably the best of the entire series in that it was an isolated monster of the week morality tale with no clear good or evil, it perfectly encapsulated the themes and mood of the universe The best part of the game was the side quests and the tv show only spends like 10% of its time on that, and the rest on epic epicness blah blah destiny. It should be the opposite ratio with hints of the overstory which climaxes in the finale. Just have Geralt and Ciri go on adventures goddammit. For example we’re also binging Stargate SG1 at the moment and while there’s a ridiculously persistent story arc for a network show of the time, each episode still has its own stakes and ridiculous situations that keep you entertained and guessing

i seemed to recall she was originally less rubber lady, and more like Apocalypse's power where she could increase her mass, but only like one body part at a time

i don't mean this in a disparaging way but it looks like a tv show made for 12 year old girls, which is fine but i won't be watching it.

Gutcruncher posted:Haha they crammed him into the Han Solo movie specifically for Obi Wan and then afterwards changed their minds anyway I think the plan back then was to go Solo > Qira (remember Qira?) > Obi Wan trilogy involving Star Wars heists and crime lords and whatnot. They gave Lord & Miller 3 choices on who the crime lord would be who was talking to Qira at the end of Solo and they somewhat randomly chose Darth Maul. The Hollywood Reporter article says Darth Maul and young Luke got scrubbed because the scripts came back as another Lone Wolf & Cub ripoff, and they were already doing one of those with the Mandalorian. So Filoni and Favreau threw a fit and tattled to Kathleen Kennedy who made them rewrite the whole thing.

They wanted to make three han solo movies. Imagine making solo a star wars story and thinking "yes, we definitely have enough ideas for two more films"

I continue to be amazed that I can remember the lovely Prequels from two decades ago more than any of the Disney Star Wars garbage I've seen it all has this strange quality where it just slides right past your brain and none of it sticks

Gripweed posted:What makes you think Disney was ever concerned about whether or not they had ideas for the Star Wars movies they planned to release? I think part of the problem from the start of the disney era was that the story committee was coming up with the ideas for movies they wanted to do and then matched directors with them. It seems like they might have moved on to actually allowing directors with an idea to then develop and see that vision through, but it's impossible to tell.

The Disney films are bad in a committee type way. Lucas was inventing all new ways of being bad and doing them in a perfectly Lucas fashion.

the prequels are compelling bad, like rubbernecking a terrible car wreck the sequels are sad bad, like visiting a senile relative who keep repeating the same stories and smells of wee

Solution: get the Coen brothers to direct a Star War.

People say that, and he did do a good job, but he's barely in the movie. It's like saying oscar issac was good in it too. And yeah, he was, for that small role he had. To me it wasn't indicative of leading star power.

To me it wasn't indicative of leading star power. Maybe, maybe not. It's also indicative what an actor can do under the right direction, and the direction of Solo was a documented mess.

The other problem he had is that Solo had no idea what to do with the character. He played Solo like a smarmy millennial which... doesn't jive with Harrison Ford at all

They were the product of one insane guy who no one had the balls to say "no" to, and he probably wouldn't have listened if they had. The new Star Wars (except TLJ and Rogue One) were bad, but in a boring way. Bad decisions made by commitee. It's like the difference between a steak seasoned with lavender and cinnamon opposed to bunches of chefs throwing different foods into a Crock Pot and boiling it down into flavorless mush. The steak tastes like poo poo, but at least it has a taste.
