Sypho Dias used to been awesome because its so obviously a joke name by Sidious and you can tell he is laughing at everyone but then they had to make Sypho into a real person.

Ok also go read all the new features the iPhone 7 will have.

Yes, it was delayed. It was going to be delayed. It's more because 1) it's a huge Hollywood film, there are delays and 2) marketing. It's not a sudden realization, "huh, maybe these clearly lead characters should be a big part of the next installment." Use you head.

Of course rear end Catchcum would want you to use the head.

Iron Man 3 is the worst.

Tony Stark makes a bunch of terrible decisions, including outfitting himself with an untested suit of armor to battle a new villain. Hilariously, this new suit slams into his junk, fails at the worst possible times, and generally, we see Tony do his best to get rid of the thing. Because we want to see an Iron Man film with no Iron Man.

Don Cheadle is a terrible, personality-less War Machine.

Then, at the end, he gets some miracle surgery to fix his heart thing that... all of a sudden, he can just have done, instantly negating any tension/need for the Iron Man suit in the first place.

Also, it's filled with lovely generic scowling goons who are bad actors, there's a completely pointless scene where he saves tons of people who fell out of a plane (with everyone smiling and waving at the end), and the villain sucks. Oh, and Happy somehow figures out the "mystery" crime scene, that the FBI or whoever couldn't, by finding clues in plain sight.

The only redeeming part was Ben Kingsley.

gently caress Iron Man 3.

If I made a robot with sentience I would never ever program the ability for that robot to exert free will. As in, it would be legitimately impossible for that droid to ever even conceive of freedom or what to do with it. To do otherwise is opening up a giant can of worms for robot rebellion. I would allow for independent thought along any other line. (Note I don't even want to get into the loving can of worms that is whether you should make this robot to begin with)

Absent knowledge of how droids in Star Wars work, a droid that I programmed in the way that I described above could literally do everything that R2 and C3P0 would ever do, but would never ever want to be free. That is to say it is impossible for them to even understand the concept, let alone desire it.

Given this, a person, informed by knowledge of robotics could watch Star Wars and just assume that droids had this programming. When you have no desire to be free, not even an ability to conceive of what freedom is (which even the most indoctrinated people can have) and no motivation to do so, how are you equivalent to a person?

its funny because reading this post i get the feeling you are a robot
