LIES I SAY LIES....BOTS...TROLLS...THERE IS NO FIRE TLJ >>> ESB

Trial

I am not sure what is worse the verdict or not being surprised at all that this verdict happened in AmeriKKKa. And yet Racism is dead and Reverse Racism against White People is worse then that against actual POC.

The Good Place + Planetary Symbolism

You say that but its not like the Magic Story-line didn't involve killing characters during major conflicts to raise stakes. Heck I argue it was more Game of Thrones in the past after all even Urza died. So I think blaming it on Game of Thrones, is disingenuous to the extreme. I mean the end game against Yawgmoth resulted in all but 2 of the Nine Titans dying and most of the Weatherlight crew as well. Sealing the Time Rifts? Again more dead characters. More recently Venser Dead. Elspeth Dead. So MtG never had a problem killing major characters in the past but now the Gatewatch has unlimited plot armor.

The Gatewatch they go up against the Eldrazi and Bolas and lose not a single member.  I can make a case for Bolas not killing most of the Gatewatch. Vess is obvious. Jace could be played on Ravnica since he is the guildpact. Nissa has a unique ability with her leyline stuff. After that though the case for keeping Gideon and especially Chandra around seems rather nonexistant to me. Gideon maybe cause Bolas proved his ability is useless and you want an idiot steering the enemy team as the leader. But what reason does Bolas have for keeping Chandra around?

That's one thing a lot of people hate, that winning over the Eldrazi was an "easy" victory, they were built up so much and so well in the first Zendikar block only to be turned into another generic villain to be killed in the BfZ block. And Hour of Devastation was barely even a setback, I think a lot of people were expecting half of them to die and the other half to be turned into Bolas thralls or at least one of them suffering from something that couldn't be cursed in one block.

They were built up so much and so well because you never actually saw them. It’s the Boba Fett effect, the moment you have to explain them they stop being cool. So the choice was either to literally never deal with them cause they’re too OP, or to make them more manageable. We still don’t know if there’s more to the story there, as Ugin flat out states.

Did you know that people don’t have to die for there to be stakes? There’s a really toxic attitude out there from grimdark fiction like Game of Thrones that is easily proven untrue by decades of genre literature never requiring it.

I don't even understand why they do it. Books don’t trump the movies...the only way to fix this mess is to simply go full on elseworld where this sequel takes place outside the Prime Universe. They cant retcon the trilogy via a book. I mean they cant just say it was all a dream or some bs. And fixing the problems requires a whole lot of work.

Could there be a clearer indication of bad movie making? I need a compendium to understand it? Put it on the damn screen in the first place.

Brick Brain Johnson probably thinks it’s a sign of how endlessly deep his incredible unbelievable masterpiece is…

To be fair JJ will never have more power against KK. He brought in 2 Billion which is all the hireups care about and KK cannot afford to fire yet another director. So we shall see how he wants to use his power.

However, I have no doubt KK loves Reylo because she loves Adam Driver for some reason and her white British brunette self inserts. In contrast, and I am not joking I cant not honestly remember KK say one positive thing about Finn (John Boyega), Poe Dameron (Oscar Issacs) or Rose Tico (Kelly Marie Tran).

As for the other stuff, I havent read Finn and Rose getting together. I have read stuff that Finn once again got saddled with comic relief, the arc wasnt that great and that John Boyega once again had to elevate shitty material.

I have a feeling JJ is just gonna undo stuff anyway. Rose allegedly according to New spoilers ends up Finn’s girlfriend at the end and Rey apparently is conflicted about Kylo. I can’t see JJ continuing those threads. I also think Rey will turn out not to be so random.

Maybe. We’ll see. I doubt that they’re as divided as all that, especially since Kathleen Kennedy has final say on everything and loves Rian’s work so much she’s giving him the keys to the castle, so to speak. But I don’t intend to spend the next two years theorizing about what JJ/KK are gonna do. (Of course I didn’t intend to get so wrapped up in TLJ speculation either and we can all see how that turned out. I should delete my entire backlog and drink to forget).

Wow this is useful I use to use the Trader Joe stuff when I was younger.

And two popular brands that promised SPF 50 were actually only SPF 8.

1 Token Black Guy (or any POC) and at least 2 White Dudes who look alike is CW Diversity. It can basically function as a meta commentary.

????????????????????????? i hate this post. also those two boys on the left are literally identical.

You can say that I agree but lets face it what is shown in the movies is not someone who has the top of their class in combat. The books don’t matter, heck I am not even sure RJ watched TFA or the OT. Finn got beat by Rey, got beat by TR-8R and beat Phasma cause she was looking the wrong direction. Beyond that while you could argue he showed impressive skills with blasters in TFA...RJ decided not to have him use a blaster at all in TLJ. So I can’t blame the audience forgetting the impression that he is not great at combat cause the movies have done nothing to dissuade that notion. Plus you know the scenes where he is most competent always seem to end up on the cutting room floor remarkable coincidence that is.

This is not to say racism doesn't play a roll at all.

can ppl like you stop acting like finn was just a janitor he literally wasn’t he was top of his class and well on his way to be an officer and only worked on sanitation bc that was part of his rotational as a cadet (like every cadet did it) so ofc he would be great at combat bc he was again top of his class

Finn (John Boyega) is even more underdeveloped, and “The Last Jedi” saddles him with a plot that has literally no impact on the actual course of the movie and provides him with no discernible character development: The whole thing could have been excised from the film, and the only difference would have been a zippier run time, a smaller special-effects budget and a tighter story.

they. sidelined. finn. (via paige-tic0)

Trust me he is still a lead said the lying bitch RJ. He sidelined him with comic relief bs while having Rey fantasize about Kylo and then tried to toss Rose at Finn to kill FinnRey. Look I dont have a problem with FinnRose in the abstract since but its clear the only reason Rose is here is to help make sure Finn fans dont get anything they want. No Force Powers (he has a random kid show powers as one last fuck you to Finn Fans). No Arc (despite lying about it). And Rose is there to try to make us forget about Rey so he can cram Reylo down our throats not for any progressive reason or because the relationship has real value. RJ went in the goal to emasculate Finn and Poe and prop up Kylo.

Why the fuck do they think this is a positive. These are trilogies not solo movies. Trilogies, how do you not make sure the movies properly connect. Wtf do KK and her merry band of “Story Group” actually fucking do.

that explains a lot tbh
