Yes ok it's a Kojima universe so it's an autistic fever dream that talks about AI memes and hamburgers and poo poo but the series ends with a timeline of things that definitely, for sure happened.

Meanwhile on earth-234 prime the infinity jewels and black lanterns or whatever have time traveled or shifted dimensions and restarted the universe and made 4 supermen from the dead one I think???

Does this nullify the UN legislation they signed after all those kids died in an exploding playground???

I can't wait until the MCU movies start to run out of ideas and they start to do the the no one can ever die for real because everyone is a clone or impostor/multiple universes/timetravel clusterfuck/constant reboot/every hero has been played by seven different characters nonsense that actual comic books consider normal.

They just tied her up off screen IIRC, she's going to be a bigger deal in the sequel. I predict that they'll take advantage of the fact that we never saw her face to have her "surprise" audiences as a secret covert agent or something like that.

Even though we never saw her face in the movie, the only two descriptors for this character that literally everyone knows are 1) Shiny armor and 2) Played by Gwendoline Christie, so it's not like they're going to sneak her 6'3" rear end in as a spy anywhere.

Between Marvel and Star Wars, Disney is making a sizable amount of the money in the film industry right now. That poo poo ain't going anywhere.

Marvel movies may have their problems, but I do appreciate how that poo poo is actually planned out ahead of time instead of just retconning everything and making it up as they go. Like all things, cinematic universes are fine in moderation. I do take exception to trying to turn literally everything into another CU though.

Prequel apologists and Ring Theory proponents are such an alien concept to me that for awhile I was wondering if it was just a straw man Plinkett was using. So I looked in the CinD thread. Nope, it's all real. They were dismissing the idea of that the prequels might have problems like it was some absurd notion that had been so clearly decided long ago, what a silly thing to even bring up again.

I actually thought for a long time that the ability to use a light saber was only linked to jedis and siths because of the force. Like, I don't know where I got that idea from.

Like, the idea of robots using sabers in the prequels was not weird?

Plus then you can have cool stuff like finn being able to fight, even poorly, as something relevatory because it means he's attuned in some degree

I always thought it's not that you literally have to use the force to turn on a light saber, it's just that you need crazy magic powers to ever make it a practical weapon. Any rando today could take a sword and slice open a dead farm animal to crawl inside and stay warm, but to fight a battle with a sword where everyone else is shooting you with guns and you're just deflecting that poo poo you have to have space magic.

Hollywood is currently developing a Tetris trilogy. Also a Play-Doh movie.

I couldn't believe it so I looked it up. Somebody said these words to another human being, and kept a straight face presumably.

“It’s just a phenomenal idea for this brand,” Kasanoff told Mashable. “That’s what motivated this whole thing. And you’ve gotta ask yourself why ‘Tetris’ has been so successful for so many years; we’ve thought of a really great science fiction movie out of it. I get pitched video game projects all the time, and we’re very picky about that stuff.”

I think the actress probably went to defend her character because the majority of people bitching about Mary Sue poo poo on Twitter aren't the people discussing it in here. Instead of "I think Rey's a bit of a Mary Sue in TFA," you get "REY IS MARY SUE LAZY poo poo WRITING FUCKIN FEMINIST ABRAMS #MENMATTER2"

I can understand being upset if she's getting bombarded with more of the latter than the former.

Personally, I felt she did come across as a bit of a Mary Sue in TFA but I'm intrigued enough by her mysterious backstory to give it a pass. If it leads to a disappointing payoff in Ep. 8 or 9, then the whole thing will leave a bad taste in my mouth. I'm willing to wait and see, though.

I think that's probably true, and I think it's terrible that we expect our celebrities to subject themselves to the torrent of human excrement that is twitter. But, her argument is 'Mary Sue is a feminine name, so using it makes you sexist' and I don't think that argument is going to help her predicament.
