This. I feel like Johnson leaned too hard into subverting expectations at the expense of good story telling.

I enjoyed the Luke-Ren showdown too, but (for me at least) it was diminished by the reveal that Luke wasn’t really there.

True, but I struggle to see how you create conflict between those two when Ren is immensely more powerful. Even Hux gaining the support of the First Order troops seems tough at this point because who’s crossing Kylo Ren for some stodgy middle manager?

It really seems like they decided to change courses for what Abrams planned based off some of the negative responses to TFA. The Last Jedi dispatched with Rey’s parents, Snoke, and Phasma and reset the table so to speak.

I was OK with the OT not giving the Emperor a backstory because it’s the status quo of the movie world we’re being plunged into. You can argue the same should be true of Snoke, but the problem for me is TFA only happens 20ish years after RToJ. So, this super powerful force user coming out of nowhere and leading a new…

Oh definitely not. It’s what I had always wanted to see from Vader.

You come up with new ideas and new technologies you didn’t have before that can create what effectively is a continuity error.

And made sure everyone knew about it... how incredibly genuine with her. Side note - there were actually a lot of groups raising funds for Kesha’s legal fees in that case.

“Making sure nothing got changed” is a huge win on healthcare. Other than that you’re just rambling incoherently.

Maybe I’m missing something, but that graph seems to illustrate that if Clinton had the same number of black and hispanic voters as Obama then Trump would have lost, no?

11 months of Trump in the white house and what is the ONE unifying thing we have seen ALL democrats stand together publicly and speak up for

I’ve never seen one person wearing any kind of neck/throat protection during paint ball, which is what I was referring to.

Loved the finale and the season in general, but one thing really bothered me watching this. Taking the cast of a musical paintballing is just a terrible idea. A stray shot could put someone out of commission (as it did to Lin) or end their career. I understand that taking the crew paintballing was necessary to set up…

The issue is that every other highly addictive vice (alcohol, tobacco, gambling...) is subject to stringent regulations regarding where, how, and to whom their products can be sold.

Jack Daniels also has strict regulations regarding the sale and promotion of their product.

The people giving you shit for this are not just confusing to me but genuinely frightening. I guess by their logic I should have disowned my grandmother while she was alive for occasionally using the term “colored”. Was it right that she said that? Of course not, but she grew up in a segregated neighborhood during an…

I genuinely hope this is some sort of satirical comment by you, though I doubt it is. The inability to see anyone whose values don’t align with your own as a “good or even borderline decent” person speaks more to your own character than theirs and is exactly why this country is so divided right now. Limiting the…

I get why this picture is making the news, but it shouldn’t surprise anyone that a super-rich celebrity golfer, who has never been outspoken regarding racial issues, is a Trump supporter.

Probably a name recognition thing mainly. Outside of golf circles I’m not sure many people know who DJ is, but EVERYONE knows who Tiger is.

I think the fervor of Beyonce’s fans and the superlatives hurled at her by the media are what spawn the questions. Just type “Beyonce” into Google and you’ll find articles calling her “Queen” Goddess” and “a literal angel”.
