I’m going to disagree on both counts, but that’s beside the point.
Here, you know all those times a great film gets a crappy sequel and people scream that it, “ruins the first film?” Well, most people point out that statements like these are kinda bullcrap. Separate films can and probably should be judged separately,…
You can enjoy them both. But a good novel tie-in doesn’t rescue a bad movie any more than a bad novel tie-in ruins a good film. They are objectively separate things made by separate people, and can easily be enjoyed separately from each other.
You can keep saying this is subjective. But that’s objectively wrong. The book and the movie are objectively different things and nothing is ever going to change that. 9_9
Well, you can, but you’re wrong for doing so. For example, some film tie-in’s for movies are horrible, but they don’t make the movie worse for existing. Cause they’re not the movie. The reverse holds true as well. A book tie-in can be ten times as good as the movie it’s based on, but if the film itself is horrible the…
You do realize that by that logic, planet busters shouldn’t be a thing in the Star Wars universe, right!?
There is no magical difference between the energy of a laser and the energy of a kinetic weapon. Energy is energy is energy. If shields can withstand planet busting impact from a kinetic weapon and they also block…
It’s time to let that dream die son, it’s not freaking Broly.
Interviews and the promotional material seems to indicate that this is a continuation of Super. So with that in mind, no this probably isn’t a DBZ era movie.
The difference in animation style is probably mostly due to budget. Early Dragonball Super especially was understaffed and underfunded.
Not secret knowledge, common knowledge. They spent 4.5 billion dollars buying the franchise. If it doesn’t make X amount of money yearly, NET not gross, then Disney will be in a position where they could’ve made more simply by putting that money into traditional investments. This is why films that, “look,” like they…
5 grams of mass accelerated to lightspeed will hit a target with the impact of 43 Hiroshima bombs. You don’t need to load that ship with anything!
And yet, backwater junkers have them, smugglers have them, and the rebel fleet even equipped them onto the equivalent of fighter planes that were otherwise useless for long-haul trips. Sorry, but there’s “they aren’t just laying around in the trash,” and then there’s, “actually prohibitively expensive.”
The sheer…
No, it makes sense. Freight ships of this sort are always cheap. In every form they’ve taken at every point in history, ships meant only to carry large amounts of cargo have been cheap. They kind of have to be. The economics of shipping cargo wouldn’t work if every vehicle had a price akin to a Lamborghini and carried…
Right, which is why even most hard sci-fi fudges light speed travel. Doesn’t mean you don’t treat everything else as if it’s taking place in the real world. And, like I said earlier, even a fairly high fraction of C will turn even a small ship into something that could easily cause an extinction level event.
You’re…
No, this isn’t an opinion you thought challenged ameba. The book and movie are separate things. You can see the movie and never see the book, can see the movie and never even know the book existed. These are separate things, and can only be judged separately.
You don’t need to calculate what the impact would be at FTL. You only need to calculate what it’d be at 99.9% of lightspeed, that’ll give you a minimum figure to work with.
At 99.9% the speed of light, a 5gram object will impact with the force of 43 Hiroshima bombs. That’s the same amount of mass you’d find in a…
You don’t actually think before you speak, do you? XD
So even if I concede that this’d be a poor move for the Resistance. (Spoiler alert, no it’d actually be pretty friggin smart. You could turn a single ship’s engine into a potential planet buster and deal a critical blow in exchange for effectively nothing. What are…
Apparently, you’re half illiterate because I already went into merch. Merch sales are down over twenty percent which puts them squarely into highly disappointing territory. And no, it isn’t amusing, this is all incredibly sad. But, this is what happens when a franchise is horribly mismanaged.
This is the state of Star…
Apparently, you don’t know how money works. So sit still a moment while I do the job that your teachers didn’t.
Disney spent over four billion dollars in one year for the Star Wars franchise. In order for that investment to be considered successful, they needed to make more than what they would have made by investing…
You can do it, you can make an even bigger fool of yourself, don’t stop!
Seriously. If you think this is business than usual then you’re off your rocker. The Last Jedi is by far the worst received Star Wars film ever. Even the Phantom Menace was better received than this, and people certainly didn’t desperately point…
“The movie does a fairly good job of explaining things!”
