boomers' greatest fear has always been the idea someone other than boomers might have agency. fortunately, this series of cautionary tales convinced them to never ever loosen their grip on the levers of power

Also power means mind powers where wanting something makes it happen. Because they've purposefully blinded themselves to how anything works to avoid acknowledging the incredible violence maintaining the status quo.

Psychic powers are the worst storytelling device. They start out as a metaphor for society, “the force others”. But then the story’s message becomes society is unnecessary because psychic powers fill the gap. Total fart huffing about how wanting something really hard gives you magic powers.

Well yeah. We gotta explore what made them so hungry in the first place.

There will be 3 separate movies that end with the message that the hippos have finally become hungry. All the hippos will die in the fourth movie without ever becoming hungry.

the first jurassic park movie should have been about them making their connecting flights to get to the island and ended when they started to open the big jurassic park gate

The first movie should really have been about Alan Grant’s parents.

Many have tried to parody super heroes and it doesn't work. There's nothing too stupid for super heroes. The attempted parody will just be consumed like all other media.

The term Blade Runner is nonsense in context. Originally it came from a novel where people smuggled medical supplies like scalpels, hence were "Blade Runners" ala rum runners in the caribbean

Decker was going to have a sword but Harrison Ford had a stomach ache so they just gave him a gun to shoot people.

the actual logistics of a galactic empire as determined by some guy getting voted as emperor on the big city planet would be too nonsensical to seriously discuss. you need some amount of public buyin if you're going to enact fascism, which you could never achieve over a thousand planets of aliens

Liberals love fascism and happily helped set up the empire. That’s the plot of the prequels. They are really annoying though so Palpatine built the Death Star so he could finally get rid them. He dissolved the Senate as soon as the Death Star was up and running.

I love it when people take their Star Wars very seriously and think it's actually a nuanced political critique of the thing they don't like. It's usually capitalism and they almost always have to mention the prequels.

It is neither nuanced nor well told. The prequels repeatedly grind to a halt to communicate basic 2000s era political messages. It is only remarkable in light of subsequent sequels that abandon the idea that anything happens for any reason.

Padme had a lot of issues. A normal person wouldn't pursue a relationship with a mass murderer of sand people who cries all the time and was a baby when you met him.

A liberal politician being turned on by the murder of “sand people” is what passes for biting political commentary in 2002.

They could’ve done a full remake of “what makes the red man red” and even crank up the racism but literally nobody would mention it or care or even NOTICE because it’s the loving live action Disney plus Peter Pan remake. The only thing that gets clicked less than that is the big red button in the president’s office

No one would mention it because no one would remember seeing it. That poo poo just slides off the eyes. I bet a big portion of the box office for theses remakes is people seeing it, forgetting about it, and seeing it again by accident.

It’s Hollywood telling you how to think and feel about an important event so of course it is important. Possibly more important than the actual event.

The algorithm says you need to have 5+ storylines with different characters and constantly switch between them every couple minutes. Then when anything happens you have 5+ sets of characters react and discuss it. By the time that’s done, everyone is bored of it so you drop it. Plots don’t have to lead anywhere. You just keep pulling things out of your rear end and have swarms of characters buzz around them.
