first i'm hearing any rumors of Michonne leaving

what's the source on that?

It's all fan speculation at the moment but her contract is expiring so she can go either way.

CapnMuffin posted...

Oh yeah Tara.

What are some significant characters that were added as possible mainstays? We have Negan, Ezekiel, Jadis, Gabriel, Aaron, Jesus, Gregory, Enid?

Its looking like the Daryll and Carol show at this point.

If you ask me, our A-list becomes: Daryl, Carol, Michonne, Rosita. Some combination of Aaron, Dwight, Negan and Enid will join later on (if the show lasts long enough).

Gabriel and Jadis might join the B-list.

Gregory and Ezekiel most likely take the role of their comic counterparts and die before/during the Whisperer War, though Ezekiel might have a chance to survive with them already killing off so many main characters already and Ezekiel being fairly well-liked in the fandom. Gregory is definitely gone, though. Rosita technically goes this way too but she's far more important than her comic counterpart ever was, so I think she might be alright.

I'd be legit shocked if Tara makes it to Season 10.

Damn, reading up on the Carl stuff it's even more fucked up how they handled it.

Since Chandler Riggs would be turning 18, they'd have to pay him adult prices rather than child prices. And apparently Riggs and his family bought a house in Georgia and were looking at colleges there just so he could still film the show.

And they decide to kill him off anyway. What the fuck

wait michone is out? I'm so glad I stopped watching a long time ago.

Not officially, but people are speculating that with her commitment to the Marvel movies, she might end up leaving.

RIP show

I hope Michonne decides to stay.

The Marvel movies are made in Atlanta so it wouldn't cause a huge conflict with her TWD schedule, but if she decides to get involved in projects outside of Atlanta, then she might just choose Marvel over TWD.

The worst show to last that long ever made. Its been abysmal since season 1.

Seasons 4 and 5 were really good. Hell, even Season 2 and 3 had Shane and The Governor. The quality of the show didn't start to noticeably decrease until around Season 7 for me (although Negan was a great villain, he simply didn't have as much screentime as I was hoping they'd give him).

Not really surprising news, but nonetheless it looks like they've been cleaning house since Season 7. The only major characters from the first 3 seasons that might still be around after Season 9 are Michonne, Daryl and Carol.

I love how the "solution" to work eating up a shitload of time is to learn how to manage the meager time you get outside of it. We should really be working towards shorter work weeks. I'm working hard at obtaining early retirement in case that doesn't happen in my lifetime.

That's how I feel tbh.

When I realize how much time I've devoted to making someone else rich versus doing things for my benefit, it's kind of a depressing thought. I mean, I sit at work thinking about the thousands of other things I'd rather be doing than sitting at a desk working on something that doesn't really excite me. And not just mundane stuff like watching TV or playing video games, but studying up on things I have an interest in, or reading news articles or learning how to properly invest and run a business. It's like when I'm working, it's frowned upon to do stuff like that, but when I'm at home, I'm so mentally drained from work I can't even focus.

The entrepreneurial route is definitely the route I want to take in the future. I don't mind working hard, but I do want the work I'm doing to be interesting.

Eat lunch at your desk in 5 minutes and leave at 5.

Depends on the job. Salaried jobs don't usually care right?

I usually eat at my desk. But I have a 9/80 schedule where I work 9 hours a day and every other Friday is off. So taking an hour for lunch would mean being there for 10 hours

Ya, I understand this. It's hard to get past that mental feeling of being tired after work,but I think it's something you just have to get used to and get better at. Or find ways around it. I know that's why I prefer to workout in the morning.

Eh. I couldn't do that tbh.

After a nice workout, all I want to do is sit back and relax. I usually go at 8 at night.

The hours you're working suck. I work 6 to 2:30 and I have the rest of the day to do shit. Closing shift and mid shift are the "live to work" shifts. Opening shift is where it's at.

I definitely wouldn't mind something like this. At the very least, I'd have more than like 2 hours of relaxation once I get home.

and only won his first real fight because he got beat so bad so he was knocked out of the fight.

Not sure what you're talking about here.

Then when he goes to leave to try to save Rey. he is beaten up by Rose

If by "beaten up", you mean, "surprise tazing" somebody, then sure.

cjsdowg posted...

At the end Rose stops him from killing himself .. saying it is not about hurting the ones you hate it is about saving blah blah blah. But she just stopped him from doing just that. At the start of the movie. If it is about saving the ones you love she should have let him go. Beyond that she talked about stopping other people form leaving. You know statically speaking she killed those people.

But he wasn't going to save anybody. The beam was going to blast right through him and the door.

Yes, yes they are.

Yes they are someone who can do anything , and Jar Jar with fade, or Yes they are better? I hope it is the latter so we can agree on something .

Rey can't do anything, and I really don't feel like arguing this because it's been explained to death since TFA came out and people still choose to be upset about it.

And Finn is not even close to Jar Jar tier.

She was showing Han goddamn Solo how to use the Millennium Falcon

Can't be taken seriously after that

No she wasn't.

Han hadn't seen the Millennium Falcon in literal years and it had modifications made to it.

Everything post-ROTJ was a hot mess.

I'm a big fan of Stackpole and Allston. Mostly because I like pilot stories in Star Wars more than Jedi stories, although I thought I, Jedi was pretty good.

It's not all bad, but the vast majority of it was basically licensed fan-fiction.

You wanna talk about Rey being too strong.

Let's talk about Galen Marek who was already swiping lightsabers out of Vader's hand as a toddler and was killing legit Jedi Masters and beat the piss out of Vader in a lightsaber duel at the age of 17.

I mean... Yeah. That was stupid too. What's the point here?

People are trying to claim the writing in the EU is better. It isn't. It's much worse.

It kinda baffles me how so many are defending shitty, and lazy writing instead of demanding better.

The EU was not perfect but it had some good solid writing that the ST lacks big time but instead of saying that they should do better people are actually defending this garbage.

LOL no the fuck it didn't. The vast majority of it was fan-fiction quality writing with numerous lore contradictions and Dragonball Z levels of absurdity as far as powers go. People couldn't even handle Leia "flying" through space, yet they want the EU back?

All of the good that came from the EU was in the Clone Wars era and the Old Republic. Everything post-ROTJ was a hot mess.

If Luke were instead just some random Jedi master, his character would have made sense. It is dumb to portray a man as a quitter when he didn't give up on converting his father to the same religion that he killed nearly all the followers. This is like if he didn't give up on converting Hitler to a Jew. And then he does basically convert Hitler into a Jew. You would think that experience of doing the impossible would reinforce his ideas of perseverance in the face of the Dark Side. Yet inexplicably he pusses out, when his nephew hasn't done anything near as bad as Vader and could possibly still be turned. It's idiotic and there's nothing you can say to rationalize it.

This has been mentioned several times.

Luke already sensed darkness in Kylo. He tried to train him to bring him into the light under his tutelage. Then he realized nothing he was doing was working and that Kylo would go on to be a mass murderer. He pondered for a brief second if killing him was the only option, but stopped himself from doing so. Then it all went south.

Rey later on actually tried redeeming Kylo and then Kylo decided to double down on being a Dark Jedi. pretty much showing what would happen if Luke had tried it.

And Vader was only turned out of familial love for his son. By that point, Kylo doesn't give a fuck about that. This is the same dude that was willing to cut down his own father.

There's interpretations of this.

There's interpretation and there's blatant misreading of the text.

When your idea of post-OT Luke is some Christlike, wise sage character, then you've missed the point.

That's never what Luke was, and that's never what Luke was intended to be. There is absolutely no evidence in the OT to suggest that Luke was ever supposed to be anything more than a guy. Out of all of the Force users we see in the OT, he is objectively the weakest. Hell, of all of the main Jedi/Sith to appear in the first 6 films, he's arguably the weakest.

This is actually a great video to watch:

That's the thing. You can't seem to accept that people thought it was a shit movie. That's why there's so much damage control going on, but in the end, it's less damage control, and you just trying to push halfway excuses as logical facts.

I mean, people don't have to like the movie, but certain complaints about the movie make me wonder if certain things just totally flew over their head.

Other complaints, like casino planet, Holdo not even attempting to tell Poe about the plan etc., are acceptable.

But when I see people claim that TLJ was a betrayal of Luke's character I have to question if they were even paying attention. As if they missed the whole backstory of him trying to live up to the post-OT image that they had of Luke and him failing to meet those expectations because all he ever was in the first place was just a guy, who's made plenty of mistakes due to the pressure placed upon him, much like his dad before him.

Yoda and Obi-Wan had a comeback plan.

Except they didn't. Their only plan was to split the children up to keep them safe. Not once did they mention anything about training them as Jedi until Luke was forced into the conflict.

Yoda didn't even do that much. He escaped off to some swamp planet and basically disappeared off the face of the galaxy and didn't even want to train Luke until Obi-Wan talked him into it. Yoda himself even called it an exile at the end of Episode 3.

It is that added to that fact that he didn't fix what he messed up. And didn't try to fix it. You can mess up but down me a coward afterwards. Hell he could have even tried to reach Kylo more at the end.

in the novelization it sorta delves into this
basically Ben had always had the darkness in him. Luke agreed to train him, but Han wasn't happy about that
after Luke failed, he not only blamed himself for not being able to fix him, he also blamed himself for ruining Leia and Han's relationship. that's when he started getting depressed about the Jedi as an institution and thinking that the galaxy would be better off with no Jedi

Jesus, maybe put all that in the actual movie instead of some filler casino planet garbage.

I agree.

That doesn't strike me as a guy getting a murderboner over the idea of killing his own nephew.

Yes, Luke's self-imposed exile after that was selfish, and his reasonings for why the Jedi should end were flawed, but I have yet to be convinced that these kinds of failings are beyond his character. That by defeating his father and the Emperor, he suddenly became incapable of making mistakes or failure.

To many people it is not about he mistake of almost killing his nephew. It is that added to that fact that he didn't fix what he messed up. And didn't try to fix it. You can mess up but down me a coward afterwards. Hell he could have even tried to reach Kylo more at the end. But he was all about the cool lines. Then he just fucking dies. RJ made sure that Luke could not be redeemed .

Luke didn't want to get involved because he saw Jedi interference as actively making things worse in the galaxy. It's not unlike a thought Kreia expressed in KOTOR 2 (although on a much tamer level in TLJ).

And it makes sense. He trained Kylo to prevent him from succumbing to the dark side, yet Kylo's heart was tainted by the dark side regardless and he went on to become Space Hitler despite his initial efforts to stop it.

Plus, as Luke said, what would he realistically do in that scenario? When Anakin became Vader, Obi-Wan knew he wouldn't be able to solo The Emperor, Vader and the entire Galactic Empire so what did he do? Fucked off to Tatooine and only bothered getting involved once Luke found him. Hell, Yoda himself fucked off to Dagobah and didn't even want to train Luke out of fear that they'd just create another Darth Vader.
