Plus a lot of fat people binge eat because theyre depressed and its a way to cope. So we can make fun of the side effect of the depression, but not the depression itself?

Not all physical issues are controllable, even if they are just cosmetic. But we can make fun of that all we want.

But any and all mental issues big or small, controllable or not, are under extreme bulletproof glass to the point where we cant even say the A-words regardless of context.

We dissect and bash the shit out of how famous people look all day every day, especially if we dont like them or think theyre douchebags. Much of their physical attributes probably cant be controlled either. Are there no such things as douchebags in the mental health spectrum?

Is it Death Stranding? It was supposed to CHANGE VIDEO GAMES and create an ENTIRE NEW GENRE

Okay, you're just making up straw man arguments here since no one said this about Death Stranding. In fact, until the last month, folks still had no idea what type of game it was.

Translation: I like Death Stranding and/or am a Hideo Kojima fanboy so im saying this.

Depends on context, I think. If it's an old-ass game that you otherwise can't play for whatever variety of reasons, it isn't. If it's a newer game you can easily obtain and you're sure you'd like it but you pirate it anyway, it is stealing.

2. One update I did appreciate and enjoy was adding Hayden Christensens force spirit to the end of Return Of The Jedi. Since I have seen episode I-III and didnt know he did that, I marked out at that part. Plus im okay with that change because it represents who Darth Vader was inside and the last time Anakin was truly himself.

It suggests that he was never redeemed at the end of Jedi before he died, which is moronic.


I still think it works because his sprit represented him as his true self and his happiest peak essentially. He did redeem himself at the end of Jedi, but he was still a shell of his former self.

Ive never seen the original versions of episode IV-VI so I have no basis for comparison, but regarding George Lucas updates:

1. Its funny that he made these updates to make the special effects look more modern and believable, when the obviously CGI bits from technology that didnt exist in 1977-1983 make it look SO much worse since it sticks out like a sore thumb in the same movie as the legit 1977-1983 effects. You naturally ask yourself Why doesnt everything look as good as that thing did?

2. One update I did appreciate and enjoy was adding Hayden Christensens force spirit to the end of Return Of The Jedi. Since I have seen episode I-III and didnt know he did that, I marked out at that part. Plus im okay with that change because it represents who Darth Vader was inside and the last time Anakin was truly himself.

3. Greedo shooting first was NOT a big deal and didnt change my image of Hans character at all. He was still just as badass. He was always an anti-hero in my book and transitioned into hero pretty naturally.

As far as the rest goes:

1. These movies were so much fun and I cant remember any of the other movies allowing themselves to be a light hearted good time that got serious when it needed to be. These felt like all ages films, where episode I-III felt all dark and serious like they were made for adult fans only.

2. Yeah the special effects REALLY dont hold up in 2019 even after the updates, but I need to remember that this shit was mindblowing in 1977-1983 and also a lot of things that seem cliche are because those cliches STARTED here and were copied/parodied by everyone else.

3. A New Hope starts off REALLY, REALLY slow and I almost lost interest in the whole endeavor. Also most of the character/story development didnt come until The Empire Strikes Back, so to me A New Hope is really a product of its time and only works as an entry in the overall series, it feels more like a proof of concept for the studios to allow Lucas to do more movies and tell the story he wanted to tell.

Overall I would say these are solid films and obviously a perfect groundwork for the fucking massive media franchise that followed in the next 40 years, some much better, some much worse. None of them are masterpieces, but they ARE iconic and an essential part of cinema history.
