I don't mean the electoral system but rather the plurality system, or first past the post, where you vote for a single person. There are a couple systems that are generally better for everyone, and ours is largely the worst voting system :/

Niiiice

It looked like one that could be amazing or awful

We've already covered that not letting Poe know was a smart decision, keep up.

But it wasn't.

How is keeping someone out of the loop when they just disobeyed orders and got most of your fleet killed not a smart decision? Honestly, the only stupid thing they did was not putting him on lock down.

You're making a claim supported by absolutely nothing.

since I hate contrived drama over easily fixable miscommunication.

God, especially when (and I'm not talking Star Wars specifically) they withhold a secret that the other person would objectively be better off knowing but they stupidly think not telling them is "protecting" them. Then we get the pointless bit where they eventually forgive them for keeping such a massive secret, even though they should realistically hate them with a passion.

Except no, nothing really supports that.

Keep lying to yourself. Poe is not stupid. He wouldn't attack it if it wouldn't wipe what little they had left out.

And yet he did.

Yes, and the whole point is that trying to be the hero can make things worse.

Well while the lose of life is horrible. They did better with the trade off. Since if they didn't do it, there people would have been blown up by it.

Didn't say Starkiller is where it went wrong.

The whole "being a hero is bad" completely falls apart when you realize the fleet is alive because the Dreadnought was destroyed.

Except no, nothing really supports that.

We don't know the details of him getting the mission to find a map, and he wasn't the only person working to blow up starkiller base. In fact, he was the one that decided to be a hero and dive in after the breach was made, kind of like he decided to be the hero and take out a star destroyer.

To be the hero , he didn't do it for personally glory. Beyond that each of those poorly designed crew followed him willingly. It was not like they could not turn back.

What missions were these exactly, and how does that show that he can't be a hothead?

Mission to find the Map and to blow up Star Killer Base. These are too jobs that don't want hot head in. Moreover in the comic he shows his personality even more and he is't a hothead.

Jeez what is seriously up with people? Like I thought the plot was stupid, but I dont recall there ever being a point where Holdo's or Poe's gender was brought up as to why one was correct or not. Yet folks are projecting that the film was attacking mansplaining, etc. Im totally lost where folks see that point.

After the movie people who liked it made a point about it. Talked about the movie just showed how Toxic Masculinity messes things up. And the producer said the Force is Female now.

The producer doesn't make those decisions. And people making stupid claims doesn't excuse you making stupid claims in return.

It don't contradict the last movie at all.

They trusted this guy so much to give him two missions that could change the fate of the universe if he didn't fail. But all of the blue he is doesn't hot head he who needs to be humbled. Heck to be honest Rey is much more of a hot head than Poe.

Honestly, just talk to her, be a friend. Shit sucks, but she can make new friends.

he also knows it is possible that the Empire has eyes or ears onboard, and that Poe likes to talk.

Now she knows that Poe likes to talk. Come on, you are just making up stuff to make this bad writing better.

No, I'm not. Him being a reckless hothead was literally the first fucking thing that happened in the movie.

Completely contradicting the last movie, but what's continuity, right?

If you think you need to be in a relationship to be happy, you shouldn't get into a relationship - work on yourself first

I thought that and got with someone else who thought that. Worked out.

You got lucky then. Theoretically anything can work in relationships, doesn't stop some things from being bad ideas.

No, he actually seems innocent.

I love fighting bosses filled with bad hit boxes, flying, copious invincible periods and unavoidable damage. Great design.

KH1 >>>> 2

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but KH1 is just way more fun to me. I like the bosses more,the magic system is better, I actually like the diet-platforming element, the heavier focus on the Disney characters, etc. Just way more fun all around

This

Most bosses in KH1 are utter trash so no.

Finally. Beat Cherbourg, what an awful fight

At least until this end game which is full of awful mechanics

And then the behemoth boss was incredibly easy what the hell

Why do you keep playing it, if you don't like it?

I liked everything but the combat and have tons of free time right now so I gave it more of a chance. Good decision

OK shadow riku was hard

Maleficent down

Yup, a bunch of moving platforms with Iago flying around

I'm not sure any moral was supposed to be there. Holdo had a reason to not tell him or anyone else. He fucked it up.

She had an opportunity to let him in on the plan when he mutinied her. But she didn't, and allowed everything to get fucked up when all she had to do to save things was say "Look Poe, you're making a mistake, here's the reasons I did what I did and why we're doing this now *explains plan*. I have to put you in the brig after this of course, but you can clearly see that your course of action is going to get even more people killed."

So you think the logical response to someone mutinying you after getting most of your fleet killed is to let him in on a plan that he could easily ruin with his heroics? Poe could not be trusted with the plan, simple as that. The only stupid part was that Poe wasn't jailed sooner.

The23rdMagus posted...

Recklessness can get people killed, even when you think you're being a hero.

This. The point was that Poe was so determined to be the hero he cost the rebellion way more than he gained.

The only boss fight i found tedius was oogie boogie in kh1. Every other boss fight is super fun imo

You can't tell me Jafar 2 isn't tedious. Maybe it's different on proud, but I literally never had to dodge a single attack because they didn't hit you unless you were at the closest edge of the platform to him.

On to Hollow Bastion now.

I'm weirded out. So far, the first few bosses were exponentially harder than anything beyond them. The only bosses that took me multiple tries past the first few stages were the pot caterpillar, Ursula stage 2 and shadow sora. And those were only two tries each.

Second set of worlds beat. Haven't beat Hercules yet but shouldn't take many tries

Oogie part 2 was great :)

Well I hope you enjoy the series. I myself have only played 1 and 2 because of all the different handhelds they had to put the other shit on.

I played 1 before, but didn't like it. Gave 2 a chance and loved it but never went back

Sessler's an anti-trumper? I've never had Twitter, nor have I cared to follow this guy beyond watching some of his YouTube videos about video games back in the day.

Anyone halfway intelligent is anti trump.

So halfwits are anti-trump? I won't argue with you.

Even halfwits yup. That's how little intelligence it takes to know he's shit.

Got the 1.5 and 2.5 collection I beat 2 when it was new but haven't played any others.

Just beat Jafar. Tedious boss fights in both versions, but never difficult. Hell genie Jafar didn't hit me once

Dark Souls is harder but it's hard by design, KH is hard because the gameplay is just garbage, so many boss fights that are more tedious than anything :/

Remember literally just a few days later when a liberal host of a dirty, failing show said something equally abhorrent and didn't get fired?

#OopsLibsShowTheirBias

Remember when Rosanne begged not to be fired and made excuses while having far worse meaning behind it, while the TV host had benign meaning but still bad words, and honestly apologized?

He's a minor. Minors CAN'T get the death penalty or life in prison.

Just making the budget back isn't breaking even.

Isn't that the literal definition of breaking even?

No because the budget doesn't count the marketing cost.

Disney spent 4 billion to get this franchise. They are in the red both for Solo and for the franchise at large. They are currently making these films at a loss.

Tbqh... No. If Disney hasn't made a profit on buying Lucasfilm yet, they will soon. You have to keep in mind the profits include merchandise, which makes way more than the movies ever will.

Solo's opening would be 10th best last year and 11th best the year before.

For a movie that replaced it's Directors halfway thru and reshot half of it, that is phenomenal.

Also, released against the NBA playoffs, UEFA Championship, and Deadpool 2. These things really dropped attendence.

People who expected 160 mil were fucking crazy. Estimates are based off NOTHING and not usually very indicative of reality.

No estimates usually account for all those factors.
