Is there some tide turning against Carl because the one single youtube reacto who qualifies as his elder is criticizing him? no but i always liked thunderfoot in the past so i hope he realizes that these people are lovely and awful.

Kjoery posted:Not sure if this gem has been posted, but one skeptic posted a pretty incredibly terrible review of Fury Road, while we're on the topic. It seems like the more anime a skeptic is, the more thin-skinned and prone to projection they become: how? it was a lovely despotic regime that only ran because joe had the manpower(a bunch of cancer ridden brainwashed kids) and people were afraid of him because he used to be a super powerful fighter/warlord. and it was only gone last til he died anyway. i doubt his sons could run it. its why he was trying to rape up an heir.

He's smart in a way that sounds like it was written by a high-schooler, not just a maths genius, but also a history genius, a literature genius, a philosophy genius, a legal genius, any discipline you throw at him and he's at least on the level of the professionals in those fields he's talking too at the ripe old age of twenty. He has tons of friends and most people seem to think he's the tits in short order, and those who don't he destroys with his rapier wit, prompting 1997 Minnie Driver to start sleeping with him. And of course he's got a bodybuilder's abs to kick you rear end in fight if he needs too along with Matt Damon's cute face, regardless of hair. And to top it all off he's played by Matt Damon from a script he wrote himself along with Affleck, I know that he's meant to have problems stemming from abuse but they serve to make him seem more vulnerable and deep and result from difficulties he had no control over, which is a common thing about Mary Sue's too. yeah mary sue/gary stu/whatever is pretty much that. magicaly perfect characters who are great at everything and never fail. rey never struck me as one, my only issue with her is she is kinda flat character wise, while finn sorta has a arc and poe is wedge on steroids. i honestly found kylo/ben the most interesting because he is basicaly inverse darth vader and anakin done right.

The two actors put their heart and soul into that whole thing. There is so much raw emotion in every little detail, like how at one point during the sword duel Anakin starts just choking the poo poo out of Obi-Wan, or later on when he viciously kicks Obi and starts marching towards him in such a menacing "I will rip you apart" manner. see i am mixed with the duel. if i had made it it would have been shorter and made them gently caress each other up more. like rey/finn and kylo fight, they actually hurt each other. glancing blows and poo poo. id want that. maybe anakin gets more and more hosed up through the fight and is basicaly running on adrenalin and hate alone.
