Maybe you shouldn't have been complaining as Oppenheimer for three months straight, OP. Mega64 posted:So what I get is Star Wars would be better if it had boobs. Andor is the closest you come to seeing two people have sex in Star Wars.

Vim Fuego posted:I'm watching the Andor review and I cannot comprehend why anyone would want to watch that show It's the RLM thread so everyone is going to tell you it's trash, but the core is a solid story that wouldn't need to be Star Wars to work, it has Star Wars affixed around the edges. Similar to first season Mando.

Andor is bad precisely because its competently made. It has no business being a Star War, but no one was gonna offer Tony Gilroy a budget like Disney was, so we have to settle for the round peg of "a mature sci-fi spy drama" being jammed crudely into the square hole of "the Flash Gordon ripoff IP humanity can't seem to let go of, for some reason." Market research tells these craven fucks that new IPs wont play in Peoria, and that the hardcore nerds will watch whatever you put in front of them regardless of marketing or quality. This is the direct result of that. Everything must fall under something already existing, and what already exists must be a foundation for every kind of story. The issues with this are endless but the main ones are tonal whiplash and an impossible to maintain objective cannon. Stuff just starts contradicting itself wildly, and like that other better poster said you got the serious Andor man in the same universe as a cackling Scooby Doo villain emperor and it just all starts to feel as crass as it is. There's only two ways this nightmare ends and both seem impossible. One is that consumers become more tolerable of new IPs. Asking a dumbfuck mob of billions to be more open minded does indeed seem impossible, but it's actually less impossible than the second option which is Disney leaves money on the table and keeps Star Wars as just the "fun adventure romp for the 14-30 demo" and doesn't keep bankrolling the IP under every possible genre of storytelling ever made.

Get used to all new stories being made under existing IPs for children, for the next decade at least. If you want a good tv series, you gotta accept that it’s a Star war. Pretty soon if you want an adult relationship drama, you’ll have to accept that it’s in the muppets universe

Yeah Andor has the problem of being far too good for Star Wars. You flip over to one of the other shows like Ashoka and it’s just embarrassing trash for babies. Then there’s the whole issue of the rise of the Empire being botched in the prequels, and Andor being almost impossible to match with all the goofy nonsense that George threw in there as “world building”. Star Wars needs to just die, and better sci-fi to take its place, but we’re stuck in a moronic cultural paralysis. There’s no solid base in SW to build an endless franchise off of, even if you brought in the best people possible now. colonelwest fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Mar 30, 2024 |

You know how you can enjoy movies? Call real movie movies, call Disney franchises stuff movie-like and series-like. They are not real movies, they are just synthetic poo poo that takes up 80% of the market.

What the gently caress is this Indiana Jones movie? It's like the anti-Crystal Skull but bad in entirely different ways. Crystal Skull kept making "haha old people" jokes about Indy. Dial of Destiny instead says "actually Indy is cool and good go gently caress yourself young people" by making Wombat the most insufferable rear end in a top hat imaginable while Indy is completely miserable the whole time. It's amazing how much worse this movie looks than Crystal Skull, too. Lol I just got to the part where Mutt died in Vietnam. Antonio Banderas has had two lines so far.
