Agreed. But, there are plenty of other articles devoted to highlighting the failings of the screenplay. These videos are designed to showcase the quality of CGI work that ILM does. I think it's fair to judge effects work separately from other elements of the film and appreciate them on their own merits.

Modern wars are never truly over.

I'm in favor of any pejorative term turned around and used as a compliment. I wish that would happen with all slurs. It would render all the d-bags nearly incapable of finding an insulting term to stick. Suck it haters.

However, being down one man could have catastrophic repercussions for the team

Yup. That's what I said. Nothing scandalous or prudish there. I've seen a penis. I have a penis. But, given a choice, I'd just as soon not see cartoons of masturbating men. While I mistakenly didn't realize it was likely for anyone to take issue with my expressing that preference, I'm still not convinced anyone doing…

I knew it!
