Welpquote:Ghost Rider won't be returning to Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. when the show comes back from its midseason winter break, and not just because the show's story is moving in a different direction. According to co-showrunner Jed Whedon, there were budgetary concerns to consistently portraying Robbie Reyes' flaming skull. http://www.newsarama.com/32555-agents-of-s-h-i-e-l-d-can-no-longer-afford-ghost-rider.html

Drifter posted:Zack Snyder gave an interview where he said something along the lines of "I'm really glad that these COmic Book Movies are somewhat old hat now because you can finally tell a story, rather than have a thing be empty, distracting spectacle." I think "empty, distracting spectacle" describes BvS perfectly.

Caught Rogue One today and was surprised how much it reminded me of people's complaints about BvS: -- Ohh it's so grimdark! (Everyone dies!!!) -- Who are these cameos?!? A little blue robot and a gold man? Who was that lady at the end?!? None of it makes sense if you're not familiar with the source material!!! -- A bunch of these characters and plot points seem to exist solely to setup the next movie! We don't even see them use the plans they stole! -- Learning about the main character's past and motivation via a flashback dream sequence?! Dumb!!! -- It was so dense! A ton of characters, locations, planets, and plots intercut at the same time! I couldn't tell who was what where!!! -- etc. I hope everyone that hated BvS also hates Rogue One.  I really enjoyed both films.

I thought Rogue One was better than this other recent Star Wars, and actually thought it felt more "Original Star Wars-y" than the previous 4, but was still under characterized as hell for the most part. I thought it was pretty boring. I absolutely adore BvS and MoS. I'm super fuckin' stoked for Wonder Woman, but none of the screen stills I've seen are very interesting to me. Like, this one seems pretty boring even though, you know, there's an explosion right there and whatever. Drifter fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Dec 30, 2016 |

It's a question of delivery, really. Vader in the original trilogy just doesn't give a gently caress, which makes a trying-too-hard effort like "don't choke on your aspirations" or "granny's peach tea" stand out by comparison. Even in the prequels, Anakin takes himself deathly serious; it's harder for the audience to take him as seriously as Vader, because he's a whiny little twerp, but the character's attitude is completely different.

Rogue One is a prequel movie where Vader makes a sick force choke pun so it's literally canon that that is what Vader's humor is like in the prequels and he's also witty as hell in Clone Wars. There's even an episode (in like season 3 before it even gets super good) where he cold impales a dude through the back on screen and is cracking jokes about it as Obi-Wan is semi-horrified).

I am in fact making a Not My Vader argument here, just not from the position that there's a really existing Vader whose purity is sullied by this impostor, but because a Vader who finds himself and the Force funny says something different about the nature of tyranny than a Vader who will staidly lecture a council room full of high-ranking Empire officials about respecting his religion. e: It ties into the larger trend in both Rogue One and The Force Awakens to have their villains wink at the camera and go "wow, look how evil and petty we are." Grand Moff Tarkin is a backstabbing social climber instead of a chilling voice of reason, Vader is snarky and flippant instead of assured and demanding, Kylo Ren is a child throwing a temper tantrum, and so on. It's not enough for them to be fascists, almost as if the filmmakers don't trust us to know that, no poo poo, those are the baddies.

"You're afraid... that you'll never be as powerful as Darth Vader" was a great line with great delivery. You could almost hear her ask "why the gently caress would you want that?"

How about Seth Green, Weird Al Yankovic and Seth McFarlane? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSqslieMkcI That was going to be an official Star Wars series, they started work on it in 2010 and actually got 39 episodes completed but then George Lucas sold the Star Wars franchise to Disney in 2012 and the show was quietly cancelled soon after.
