Welcome to the snyderverseporfiria posted:Of course this is all fair enough but to be fair: Kinda disappointed to learn that Polley seems to be a dictators=necessary evil sort of liberal. I agree with Snyder tho, the death of Saddam and his sons were good and cool. If only it happened to more tyrants more often!

Well that may be one aspect of the Disney wars that makes sense - this is a galaxy much reduced by upheaval, hence how weak the governments and fragile the militaries seem to be. The old familiar alien races have withdrawn or scattered. In actual history and the present day, the weakening or loss of central authority in a society can lead to an explosion of sectarian violence as the grudges held against scapegoated minorities can now be indulged. Maybe the Duros are getting the hell outta dodge and etc?

Doctor Spaceman posted:In hindsight it's a surprise he didn't do any long-term / open-ended mystery stuff with Star Trek. The nu-Treks are good precisely because they weren't made by Trek fans. There's a distinct distance (beyond the literal alternate universe plot) between them and the old stuff. I remember peeps having concerns in 2018 when Abrams said he was more of a star wars guy but had respect for or interest in trek. He and the writers, regardless of Simon Pegg's claims, clearly based their stories more on the cultural osmosis of Trek than any real familiarity, as the seminal essay Kirk's Drift documents. I totally understand where many old Trekkies' distaste comes from, but it's not hard to imagine Paramount trying a super safe and boring approach, like Disney has done. Say what you will about their quality compared to old trek, but the new trilogy is wild and mean and carelessly stupid fun. Whereas the ST isn't even an interesting mess

John Wick of Dogs posted:The thing about Luke is I don't believe he would ever start a Jedi academy in the first place, even though that's the premise of most supplementary books. He threw his lightsaber away in RotJ. That's what I thought for years, but a screenshot from the Ewok party shows its back on his belt by the end. He probably scooped it up with the force while dragging his fried dad into the elevator

thrawn527 posted:Yeah, he wasn't saying he would never fight again, he was saying he wouldn't give in to his anger and murder his defenseless father. Hell, he even says right then, "I am a Jedi, like my father before me." Him starting a new Jedi Academy makes perfect sense. It makes sense now that the Disney films have unintentionally confirmed Luke et al didn't learn anything from the mistakes of the previous generation. Before TFA it was ambiguous whether the new Republic would be like the old one or be more just and avoid it's fate.

nemesis_hub posted:It’s kind of wild that Abrams’ Star Trek movies, while certainly not perfect, are much better than his Star Wars ones. How the hell did that happen? iirc by his own admission he was never a big trek fan growing up, but absolutely was of star wars. Fan is short for "fanatic". You ever watch one of those ultra Christian movies? Not the kind by Scorsese or even Gibson, but like focus on the family poo poo? Yeah, it's like that

Khan was smuggling them out of cold storage where RoboCop was holding them hostage. Khan probably chose torpedoes so that they would end up on the battleship he built and could control alone, but Marcus caught them. He gave them to Kirk to carpet bomb Kronos with, which would remove all the evidence and give him the war he felt was necessary. It's just a run of the mill black ops double cross.

Nutreks are pretty good to decent, even though it's true they have no respect for the OG trek characters. It's a mirror universe, but instead of evil goatees it's the Kirk's Drift phenomenon.

There's usually plenty of things to criticize an Abrams story for, but being too complex to understand is a strange angleDoctor Spaceman posted:If Marcus knew what was in the torpedoes why not just kill them immediately (or use them as leverage against Khan, like he was doing originally) rather than going through a convoluted scheme to have Kirk launch them at Kronos. Marcus and Khan very obviously despise each other. Marcus is the head of section 31, those were his people Khan blows up. Even if it wasn't personal between them, it's perfectly in character for either the war-mongering admiral or demonic space lord to be vicious.

Friends, if you truly enjoy the OT, then you don't really care about bad acting or ridiculous SFX or whatever. Focus on on what the PT is saying about us and our society. Reflect on your politics and you'll know why you like or dislike the prequels; there would be more dignity in that then pretending to be confused or regurgitating rlm memes.

But then we gotta say what's bad about the movies beyond our private emotional responses. And I'm reacting to the constant complaints that should apply equally (if not more so) to the OT, and yet obviously never are

The morality around droids is terribly inconsistent. And it's arguable about whether or not he is "killed". He still exists afterwards. He's still the same exact person. Threepio isn't like Finn, he can't reverse or escape his brain wash. If you lose your whole personality and memory and never recover any of it, are you really the exact same person? I mean, people drastically change in their lives, describing themselves as new or reborn, even without being mind wiped against their will. Anyways, while whatever happens to slaves in star wars is perfectly legal & ordinary, its obviously morally wrong. What are some examples of it being inconsistent?

Darko posted:The original KOTOR2 had so many game-ending bugs that it was essentially unplayable for anyone that just happened to be unlucky enough to do a wrong sequence - and there were like 5 of them in which you wouldn't realize you broke the game until 4 or 5 hours later, which could also mess up your multi-save backups of earlier points to progress from. Sounds kinda awesome, more games should do that! Consequences for your choices!
