The extension of 'communities' here into off site platforms was definitely one of the worst things to happen on gamefaqs.

While I find the whole 'oh if you're so great why not post a pic bro??' stuff a bit cringe, stuff like that reddit or harassment discords are magnitudes worse

For instance, the whole chase sequence that spans Fury Road is filled with CGI.

You guys are acting like Finn's kamikaze attack definitely would have stopped the battering ram cannon that's like 100x the size of the craft he was piloting

They're all so boring and inconsequential. Like that ROS intro one

Also I know it's not a cgi scene I just mean that it's such a good practical scene that cgi scenes subsequent to it seem weightless and boring

I'm curious where you guys think they could have taken things after TLJ without also being a problem.

straight off the bat imma say i'm not a fan of this kind of argument cos it puts some obligation on us as observers to fill in the blanks for a whole team of professional writers lol. but i will say...

• is this strictly a problem with TLJ? did TFA not set that course initially by having him be the mysterious, masked apprentice to a monstrous master figure?
• not my own idea as it was something i read on twitter but i think kylo could easily have split into a third 'faction' of sorts. the first order is a giant fascistic wannabe-empire, you would think they don't live or die solely on the back of kylo leaving them. they have a whole evil bureaucracy. hell, they basically function that way in this as is with the emperor and his guy. why even leave it that late?
• on further contemplation, I have begun to really resent this idea that TFA 'set things up' and TLJ 'ruined' them. TFA set nothing up bar a bunch of mystery boxes. you could literally fill in any plot in the world around them. you could have rey embark on an epic stamp collecting adventure across the galaxy and still have JJ's various hanging ideas get answered in much the same manner as they would in any other wider scenario. the empire has become more powerful, the resistance is small but has regained a sense of hope at the end of TLJ. how is that hard to build a climax around? hell, you could argue the ROS endgame space battle is a very natural progression of this albeit one which the build up is ruined by the pacing of the film.

not related to that post per se but somebody (remind me if it was you, whoever you are!) was posting a 'TLJ explained' video on here recently and it was a good reminder that kylo's ideals in TLJ aren't meant to be taken as gospel or necessarily correct and that his 'burn everything to the ground' mantra is destructive and chaotic, as a sort of also-bad counterpoint to the endless tethering to the past. again, i think there's plenty to work with there in terms of a conflicted character but it ends up boiling down to a very straightforward redemption arc. this is a much bigger missed opportunity than anything from TFA not used in TLJ!

like man the helmet thing is definitely merchandising related lmao

i maintain the biggest problem with this trilogy was not, in fact, a lack of 'planning' but rather the tethering of it to the original trilogy in order to capitalise on brand/cast loyalty and nostalgia. they should have had the strength of conviction to do something original or different. instead, we get a weird retread of past ideas with a few mostly impotent cameos (Lando in this one spoke and acted like a dude wheeled outta the retirement home for the day lmao). it also totally kneecapped the overarching story/threat cos everybody's just like...how tf is there a new empire already???

Parappa09 posted...

i mean let's not forget that finn never told rey what he wanted to tell her (twice) that they built up throughout the film. how do you get to the stage of a general release without wrapping up that part of the film?

also i really found it bizarre how rey is like "aite luke imma do the same thing you did on the same island you did it...despite me witnessing your entire arc first hand about how hiding away from the world was in fact bad and how you sacrificed yourself to 'the force' to reinvigorate the resistance". again, why

the thing i hated most about RoS is how jj scrubbed the existance of TLJ tho. the plotholes were p bad but that was such a bad move on his part

yeah some of that stuff was really weird. even relatively minor stuff like kylo reforging his helmet only to forget about it like 30 minutes later. what's the point of that? people will bitch and moan about inconsistencies and characterisations in TLJ but like...how is that not infinitely worse?

i kinda take @IShall_Run_Amok 's point above too: you almost wish they committed more to it at times if that's the route they were gonna go

Parappa09 posted...

but mad how they did domhnall gleeson bad

i feel his character was kinda under-utilised throughout the 3 films but yeah. again, another moment that was focused on for about 5 seconds and served no purpose and carried no weight.

my parents liked it though!

i always think of RoS like fast food

it's a good and enjoyable experience when you're eating it since it's satisfying junk

but the more you think about it, the more you realise and reflect on how bad it is. and definitely not good long term/in the bigger picture

I am cool with this thinking but I find that I personally find it harder and harder to just zone out to films a lot of the time these days To me, this just had a lot of glaring annoying stuff and the action parts just left me a bit cold (again, I think Driver brings a lot of good physicality to the role and his action scenes are some of the better ones as a result).

Like the film spends literally zero time lingering on any shot or moment with like 2-3 exceptions , so much so that nothing ever has any weight or heft to it. Supposedly emotional moments just float away in the wind. Like big character deaths and perceived deaths are treated with the gravitas of stubbing your toe, its really weird.

I actually liked the palpatine return more than I expected but I hate this thing where they make a big deal about rey being 'a palpatine'. Like just say he created her by manipulating the force or something, there's no value to having him boink her grandmother.

Also like half this film is close ups of reys face expressing mild consternation.

As per, adam driver has like 100x screen presence than everybody else bar Ian McDiarmid. They did that man dirty making him launch his assault in a crewneck lmao. Oh and his death which I mentioned earlier.

So yeah like a 2/5 film. There's some fun moments in the climax but not a particularly well made film otherwise

again, shock value is probably not the right word. i guess i mean more that the film is selling itself as this brash, daring satire and yet in reality i've seen it widely suggested that the satirical element is somewhat toothless and the film is almost like a romcom for large parts of it.

The last few years it seems like western Christians are always trying to favourably compare themselves to Muslims when it comes to representations of religious figures and yet there is always a strong undertone of 'well why can't we react like that too???' so wouldn't be surprised if stuff like this increases in regularity

I haven't seen joker at all. Fully intended to but got sooo sick of the joker discourse that I feel I was already burnt out on it by that stage.

Similarly, ouatih...really hated hateful eight and just feel tired of Tarantino at this stage. Will prob watch both at some point but not rushing to do so.

Prob just gonna wait for the lighthouse to properly release next year to see it but hear its really good. Same goes for parasite
