Doctor Aphra is quite the character I'll say The one thing I dislike about her is that they can't seem to decide whether or not she's an unrepentant villain character or a misunderstood fuck-up who sincerely regrets the things she winds up having to do, so overall she winds up having a shitty bipolar sort of personality. That's a thing I dislike about Star Wars in general - they seem absolutely unwilling to allow for moral complexity 99% of the time. If you're bad you're a mustache-twirling villain, and if you have ANY ambiguity at all, you're going to redeem yourself and become a hero before the story is over. Just once I'd like to see Imperials who are good people but who don't wind up betraying the Empire before the story ends, and who actually have moral reasons for supporting the Empire. Or even just Imperial main characters who ARE unrepentant bastards and who stay unrepentant bastards. That was one of the (many) things that discouraged me from caring about the single-player campaign in Battlefront 2. NightMareBunny posted... agents of shield was basically no name original characters most of the time with the actual marvel characters rarely doing much in the long run Nearly every character that appeared WAS an actual character from the comics, though, and often characters who were never going to get movies of their own or show up in anyone else's , so it was nice for them to get a bit of time in the spotlight somewhere. The real problem with Agents of SHIELD was that Disney wanted to push integration between the movies and the TV show, but corporate politics between Marvel Studios (the film division) and Marvel Television (the TV division) meant that the films categorically refused to acknowledge anything that happened on TV (and essentially treated it all as non-canon), while the TV show wound up being forced to acknowledge everything that happened in the films (which played havoc with their own plotting and planning). The storylines where the show responded to what was happening in the movies tended to be some of the better episodes, though. Which implies it would have been pretty awesome if there had actually been anything resembling reciprocity. It feels like Disney put their foot down and called bullshit on that sort of thing, though, which is why the Disney+ shows are apparently under the Marvel Studios umbrella rather than the Marvel Television one. Disney basically folded the TV division directly into the movie division, so there can be greater interaction and coordination between the two (which is why it looks like the Scarlet Witch, Falcon/Winter Soldier, and Loki shows will all technically be canon to the films, and may include a greater degree of cross-pollination between the two). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:933869149] in The Star W...
