Ah, nevermind, I no longer wish to know anything about this guyquote:Dathan, also known to the Sith Eternal as "the Abomination," was a human male hybrid strandcast genetically engineered by Sith cultists on the planet Exegol in 12 BBY. The Sith cult utilized the template of Darth Sidious—the Dark Lord of the Sith and Emperor of the Galactic Empire—to create cloned vessels for the preservation of his essence. The strandcast who became known as Dathan was a byproduct of the cult's experiments, however he lacked a strong connection to the Force, despite his genetic connection to Sidious, and thus was deemed a failed experiment by his "father." Although Dathan was treated by Sidious with disdain for his powerless nature—being referred to as a "useless creature"—the excellent health he possessed nevertheless made him permitted to live as a means for continuing the Palpatine bloodline.

after I watched dune 1 and 2 the other day for the xth time, I thought about the various slightly different models of ornithopter displayed in the film, and had the thought that in an alternate universe, for each and every single one of those thopters, the dune wiki would provide model numbers, serial numbers, nicknames, specifications, manufacturer, names and history of pilots, and whatever tenuous connection to paul atreides existed at all for that particular ship

Probably poe was a mistake. Everyone in the world loves wedge, but let's face it, that was probably because he was about as minor of a character as he should have been

Yah agreed it is nothing about gender or anything like that, she just was not really that great in the role. I felt that Kelly Marie Tran was much better in a weirdly terrible role but no fault of hers.

Also weren't Rey and Kylo supposed to get together? At least that's what it felt like after Last Jedi. Earlier I should have mention that I never saw Rise of Skywalker.

dr_rat posted:Did trinity have much of a charcter in The Matrix? It sort of stopped at bad-rear end love intrest. Fleshed out charcter wasn't really the Matrix's thing. She seemed decent enough in Jessica Jones, though I never finished that season because it just seemed like a bunch of grimdark combined with some really convoluted thing about her mother secretly being a villain or whatever and it was just kind of pointless. It was also after The Defenders which took a lot of the wind out of the sails of the Netflix Marvel stuff.

She definitely wasn't good enough at the time. I don't get how JJ could have thought hiring a 20 year old with practically zero experience was a good idea to carry movies this big. It's not like mark hamill was great in the original movie either, but in 1977 you can accept that quality standards weren't as high and lucas just needed a pretty boy who could recite ridiculous lines like this without stumbling over them.

I don't think Mark Hamill is that great an actor. He's improved for sure, and he definitely did great as a voice actor. But for ANH, I'm not sure if it was a case of him having just the right energy or other intangibles, or if it was a case of Lucas getting the right performance, the one he needed. With Ridley, I have no loving clue. Is she a bad actor in a bad role with a bad script? Is she a good actor who was terribly miscast? Is it the director who failed to get the right performance? edit: The more I think about the sequel trilogy, the more baffled I am by all of it. The story, the characters, everything. It's all just so loving stupid and nonsensical. Jose Oquendo fucked around with this message at 20:25 on Apr 5, 2024 |

Say what you will about the prequels, (they fuckin suck) it was at least one project by one weird guy. It wasn’t a dick waving contest between two directors.

stephenthinkpad posted:So because of the Shogun show I ended up spending a whole day reading up on the Shogun warring period. Honestly the actual history of the characters this show is based on is more interesting, and has more intense GoT style royal struggle. I understand why the book/show used fictional names and altered history because they wanted to added more western elements and Christianity elements for the global audience. But the history is more fascinating, the circumstance of how Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered his wife and first born son killed is very interesting and I don't buy the official narrative. Don't worry this is not show related. Yeah, the new Shogun rules. I decided to re-read Shogun (hadn't touched it in twenty odd years) and rewatch the old Shogun in preparation for it and it's way better than the old show. As good as the old show was, it did not treat the Japanese like characters (more like props and obstacles) because it was told entirely from Blackthorne's perspective. They both stick pretty close to the book, but the new one veers a bit more away and when it does it tends to make sense. I have a feeling the end of the book is gonna be changed completely though because it just wouldn't be a satisfying TV show ending.
