Not to everyone else, he might as well put a neon sign on his head that said "I am Drug Lord". He rouse unwanted attention many times that becomes a liability to his own organisation.

Eh, that doesn't matter to the cartel guys. When one of their front places gets busted they just set up another. If one member gets put away, there's always another to replace them as Lalo did. He can always just jump back to Mexico anyway.

Lalo just wasted 7 millions pesos because he felt the need to show off his shooting skills to a bystander who barely had any connections to michaels. Nacho would never make such humongous error. Lalo Calm demenour just mask his extremely low level of intelligence or lack there off pororin

7 million bucks is like change under the couch cushions to Lalo. Nacho was stealing baseball cards.

Plus Lalo almost outsmarted and killed Gus. That's a pretty big feat.

Basically all the fake creative names people come up with. And yes, "but all names are fake", but come on. People shouldn't give their kids embarrassing names or stupidly spelled names in the need to be creative and unique. Screw that.

These are not real names! You want to hear a real name? Eddie. Eddie is a real name, whatever happened to Eddie, he was here a minute ago. Joey and Jackie and Johnny and Phil. Bobby and Tommy and Danny and Bill, what happened?

Soft names make soft people. I'll bet you anything that ten times out of ten, Nicky, Vinnie, and Tony would beat the shit out of Todd, Kyle, and Tucker

TopicBreaking Bad vs Better Call Saul

I lean towards Better Call Saul. It feels like an improved version of BB in a way in terms of writing and cinematography and such, more refined. Before BCS came out and after I finished BB, I had wished for a prequel of sorts about Saul and Mike and my wish was granted. Plus it has Kim and Lalo.

Sort of a wild comparison, I know, but BB is Goodfellas while BCS is Casino. The former are the first and the more iconic, but the latter are like the former, but better writing and story wise.

It was basically a more refined version of the bedtime tales he told his kids if I remember right. He incorporated it into his Middle Earth stuff later.

And Sauron was still Morgoth's number 1 guy. Being number 2 in that organization requires lots of power even if there were more powerful beings back then. He also focused more on guile and corruption than outright blunt power too it seems.

-Star Trek The Motion Picture is great. It's slow in parts, but it's closest in tone to the show. Speaking of Trek, the idea of "all the odd numbered movies are bad" is wrong. Out of the original movies, only 5 is not so good.

-Some of my favorite James Bond movies are the hated ones.

There was always a schism between WWE fans and other wrestling fans, especially indy wrestling fans, which AEW caters to. It's sort of a cycle. Some AEW fans would act stuck up and troll or crap on WWE fans when AEW was doing good. Now that AEW isn't as hot as it was and WWE got better (from what I hear), some WWE fans are stuck up and troll and crap on AEW.

Lots of wrestling fans aren't great. AEW ain't my thing so I just don't watch it. Neither is WWE. Back in the day, I watched and loved both WCW and WWF at the same time. I never got the extreme tribalism.

The problem is that the explanation we get for Luke is the issue. If he was defeated, you have to give a good reason. Tlj wasn't it. It tries so hard to subvert expectations that it abandons logic to get there.

The movie doesn't want to showcase reasons for things, it just says they happen and wants you to roll with it.

And that too.

mehmeh1 posted...
tbh the actual big mistake with him (and Leia for that matter) was just destroying the new republic and putting things back to reheated Rebels vs Empire. That was basically saying "yeah nothing in the OT mattered"

And that. If done right you could probably flip it to where there's a small, but dedicated neo-Imperial group that does terrorist attacks against the New Republic. Or do something different than Empire vs Rebels again.

It's not the expectations or the disappointment that I take umbrage with, it's the singular focus on something that's ultimately subjective. You can argue that his regression is bad for the character while others might argue it's fine.

But everyone should agree that the Holdo Maneuver is dumb or that the Canto Bight scene was both unnecessary and hamfisted or that the space chase scene was plodding and contrived or Rose's murder-suicide attempt to kill herself and Finn was irrational. That's the crap that made TLJ a terrible movie, not your expectations for Luke's character being unmet.

I mean, taking the hero and main character of the original trilogy and turning him into a bitter failure is a pretty big deal to a lot of people. You could also say the opinions on all you listed are also subjective too. Some people actually liked those things. I agree they're pretty big problems though, but they're big problems on top of other big problems.

My beef is with people who are indignant because his characterization in TLJ didn't align with the head canon they'd spent decades cultivating for themselves.

I never got this particular criticism. It's like nobody can ever have an expectation for a character and can't be dissapointed when that doesn't happen. Why is it wrong to have that especially when the previous entries of a series pretty much showed he was going in that direction? The people who take it too seriously and constantly complain about it are one thing, but can't a fan of a series be dissapointed about something in a sequel? We have to accept everything that's given to us?

Luke going from the noble Jedi he was supposed to be at the end of ROTJ to the bitter hermit he was portrayed as in TLJ is no more jarring than him going from whiny bitch in ESB to noble Jedi in ROTJ, or from Yoda going from noble Jedi in the PT to crazed hermit in ESB.

I think it can be jarring. And Luke going from a whiny brat to a Jedi is his arc. It shows growth. Him going back to being a whiny brat is just regression. Also, Yoda was only pretending to be crazy at first to test Luke. That's something TLJ sort of forgot about.

Of all TLJ's flaws - and there are so, so many - Luke's characterization shouldn't be one of them to anyone casually interested in the IP.

Why not? Can't people have different opinions? I don't think it's just fanboys who complain about Luke either.

Because he's never been portrayed as a noble Jedi before. He was a green kid in ANH. He was a whiner in ESB. He could have passed as a noble Jedi in the ROTJ's first act. And he wasn't in TFA. There's not much in these four movies to hang your Noble Jedi hat on.

It seems like the direction of the original trilogy was that Luke was going on to be a Jedi Knight. He was training to become one throughout the trilogy and becomes one at the end of ROTJ after defeating Vader.

It's fine that some people don't want that and want him to be different, but many people wanted to see Luke be a cool Jedi Master. I don't see why some people make that out to be a dumb and immature view or expectation to have. Having a typical hero isn't always bad.

It's a very well done show about how institutions are corrupt and have failed so many people who end up stuck in a life of poverty and/or crime. The show is both about Baltimore and America as a whole. Each season has a main topic in a sense like the police force, unions and blue collar workers, the press, the school system, and politics.

It's sort of tough to get into because the show does not hold your hand when it comes to the plot and all the characters. It took a couple of times for me to get into it, but when you do, you'll be hooked. Be prepared, it can be a very heavy show.

I feel there's a middle ground between TLJ Luke and EU Goku-like Luke. Not everyone who didn't like TLJ wants EU Luke. That's become a straw man. They went so ridiculous in the EU where he could pull Star Destroyers down out of orbit and stuff.

TopicHow much influence did your parents have on your music tastes?
Southernfatman

A good bit. Both had/have typical boomer tastes. My dad liked classic rock, but also southern rock and country music. Mostly outlaw country like Hank Williams Jr., Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, etc.). 80s metal too. My dad had a special remastered CD of Dark Side Of The Moon which he forbade me to ever touch.

My mom was a bit on the lighter side when it came to rock. Basically a lot of 70s and 80s stuff that leaned on the more pop side. Lots of pop music too even up to the 90s. The stuff you'd hear on Adult Contemporary stations.

Both liked disco so I got into that through them. Both also liked Led Zeppelin. Stairway To Heaven was their song. Weird choice, but not a bad one I guess.
