Was it too much for Luke to kick ass with his green lightsaber.

So you’re upset that puppets from the Star Wars universe which were originally created by Jim Henson’s company look like other puppets that were created by Jim Henson’s company?

I’m not seeing it till Christmas day with my parents but my best friend posted an article about how Toxic Masculinity was the real enemy in The Last Jedi and the Gender Studies Slash Major and Feminist in me couldn’t resist even though it was like “Full of Spoilers” so I read it and now I’m like “Man I can’t wait to…

So considering that every “criticism” of TLJ the Comic Book Guy crowd is coming up with falls flat because both earlier trilogies’ movies are guilty of the exact same mistakes they’re complaining about with this movie, who wants to take bets on the real reason that RJ seems to have struck a nerve with the 4chan/reddit…

I do not see anything wrong with her eyes. The FX is done well. The look is cool.

It might not be a good decision. But it’s their decision to make. There’s a weird attitude that just because the internet LETS the public chime in on everything going on that that means their opinion has merit. If the people producing, directing and leading the art direction for this movie want the character to have…

“Staring into the lead character’s disturbingly large eyes, it’s safe to say Alita: Battle Angel’s director Robert Rodriguez chose poorly.”

Counterpoint, I think it looks really cool and different.

Rule #: If everyone thinks you’re doing something weird and/or creepy, chances are you are indeed doing something weird and/or creepy.

This guy gets it:

Shit, this guy gets it.

He wasn’t “retconned”, the Shattered Empire comics were released nearly in tandem with The Force Awakens. It was planned from the start. And if you read the story, it’s only a single mission, and Shara is selected out of sheer luck to join Luke.
