Or not that much anyway. The only stupid thing they did there was to add out of nowhere that unnecessary character of Tauriel. That and the ridiculous romance they made between her and one of the dwarves. That aside they didn't do nearly as bad. Quote

That I agree with. 40 minutes ago, Stromboli1 said: They killed the Saga and there's no going back they will remake all the movies in 10-20 years. You think they would go that far? I sure hope they won't. 41 minutes ago, Stromboli1 said: The Mandalorian is the best thing Disney Star Wars has done and it's okay, not great. I haven't seen The Mandalorian yet but Rogue One was amazing. Quote

I sure hope they won't. If I'm not mistaken George Lucas and his family still gets royalties off of the OT & PT which if Disney remakes both trilogies they don't have to pay any money. I need to look this up to confirm it though. 39 minutes ago, Stormbringer said: I haven't seen The Mandalorian yet but Rogue One was amazing. The Mandalorian is better and truly feels like old Star Wars. Quote

Cult Icon Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 I miss the hype trains for the nolan batman films, prometheus, Vikings, Game of Thrones, etc... those were some of the best hype trains ever. Quote
SympathysSilhouette Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Erm, the arson angle is really dumb imho. Australia is on fire not because there is a gang of leftwing conspirators running around the country lighting fires but because of an unprecedented period of heat and drought turning the usual bush fire season into a disaster of unprecedented scale. And if these dry periods persist year after year, this might become a very common occurrence. But climate change denial has now become so cultish that people are even refusing to believe their own eyes. Quote

It's entertaining but also a bit unoriginal. Yes, it is, but people like it because at least it hasn't been contaminated by identity politics like the rest of Star Wars. The Last Jedi was a talentless movie with a flawed scenario, weak characters and some "Woke mortar" to fill the plot holes. TLJ was the start of a deadly strategy, started by rich and snobbish Hollywood writers who wanted to alienate the traditional fans (the "deplorables", i.e. people who aren't snobbish millionaires ) and to replace them with a docile crowd (the woke audience who don't care about entertainment). It a was disgusting (and extremist) strategy. So, for people who genuinely love SW (and don't care about politics) the Mandalorian is a little beacon of hope. Quote

Yes, it's important to take care about the environment. Yes and a thousand times yes, but the left politicians are the ones who make the denial grow. They are bullies, snobbish and uneducated bullies, whose despise their population (the "deplorables"), and this condescension is what annoys people and makes them want to disagree. 5 hours ago, SympathysSilhouette said: But climate change denial has now become so cultish that people are even refusing to believe their own eyes. Scientists who study the climate change are talented people. Politicians from the left who supposedly care about the environment are mostly talentless. Most of the top politicians don't know the first thing about science. I've met some of them, talked to them, they are clueless. Even worse: they don't really care about these issues, their real interest are power and identity politics. Look at Greta (the truant who hasn't made it through high school), she cares more about the "patriarchy" (which is one of the dumbest conspiracy theories) than about the planet. The media call her a prophet now (they are the cultists) The left media and politicians have made a mockery about a real issue. With friends like them, who needs enemies? Quote

They established a couple of good things, planted a couple of seeds and they have to make them bloom now. The storyline is too simple, but with the ideas that they brought in the last chapter, I'm sure there are lots of good things to make in season 2. Quote

If the rumors are true and they use Season 2 to fill plot holes in the Disney Trilogy a lot of fans will move on. They even had a tie in in Season 1 which tries to validate it in TROS which truly destroys canon. I just need to accept that the OT, PT, and EU are my canon and just finally move on from Star Wars cause there's other franchises that I can latch on to because more bastardization is coming. Quote
Enrico_sw Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 ^ They destroy canon, because George gets royalties on his characters. They destroy canon, because they want to force-feed our minds with identity politics. They destroy canon, because they think that woke crowds are docile audience (which is wrong, woke crowds are mostly psychos who will eat you alive the minute you make a "false move"). The little mouse company is disgusting The few minutes during which Ricky Gervais smashed the snobbish bullies from Hollywood were more entertaining than the past years of Hollywood "entertainment".
