Topic	Hot take: The prequel trilogy is better than Rise of the Skywalker.
darkknight109 01/09/20 6:53:01 AM #25:	Muscles posted... The prequels have the Clone Wars to really bolster the characters imo Any movie trilogy that needs double digit hours of ancillary material covered in a completely different medium to wallpaper over its flaws has done something seriously wrong with its life. Muscles posted... Disney has one dimensional characters and shits on the OT And the PT doesn't? Seriously, have people forgotten that the PT turned Darth Vader, arguably the most iconic fictional villain ever, into an angsty teenager that leg-humped his way to the dark side? Or that it turned the Force from a mystical energy field into a bacterial infection? Or that the Jedi were portrayed not as a sect of enlightened warrior-mystics, but as a bunch of scowling old guys that sat in a circle and talked about politics all day? And this is without touching the myriad of plotholes that the PT opened up, like how Leia could possibly remember her mother when she was all of three minutes old when Padme suddenly died of the dumbest cause imaginable; or how Obi-Wan somehow completely forgets R2-D2 (and vice versa) and also claims to have never owned a droid despite, y'know, owning a droid in Episode III; or how Obi-Wan claims Anakin was already an amazing pilot when he met him despite the fact that Episode I shows us that Anakin had never even set foot inside a starship when he met Kenobi (and also that he was nine years old). I feel like people have forgotten just how badly the PT fucked with the OT and just straight-up ignored things it had already established when it was convenient to do so. Say what you will about the ST, at least the characters were consistent with their OT incarnations. At least it didn't inspire the creator to go back and retroactively edit the originals and add in a bunch of pointless bullshit that actively makes them worse. TigerTycoon posted... The prequels are dumb, but they are still memorable. The Room is similarly memorable and for pretty much the same reasons; that doesn't mean it's a good movie. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! <cite>darkknight109 posted [p:932669724] in Hot take: ...
