Agreed. He was overhyped in the trailers and severely underutilized in Part 2.

Agree and I did not watch 2014 Godzilla (only the 1998 version) and Skull Island and understand the series perfectly fine anyway.

“Reader, I wrote “I hate this” in my notes, which I don’t believe I have done since I was reviewing Netflix’s horrific live-action Cowboy Bebop adaptation.”

But, you’re forgetting that Gideon’s had almost everyone in the covert on Nevarro in season 1 killed except the Armorer and Paz (I don’t think we’ve seen any other survivors). It’s unlikely the Armorer would “get what she wants” by only having those who follow the creed by around they’re being killed off.

Luke, every year you make the same claim and every year I want to scream at you: TIE Fighter is superior to Dark Forces in every way. I will argue this until the day I die.

I also have only watched TRoS one time. But, similarly, I have only watched TLJ once as well. I found it to be inanely plotted and purposely contrary the only time I watched it. Nice shots and poignant scenes are there, sure, but the core of the film is hollow and thin to me. Was I OK with Luke being disillusioned and…

Perhaps, but one puzzling thing I found with John Williams’s work on the sequel trilogy is that the quality of his scores there got weaker with each instalment to the point that the RoS soundtrack ended up being little more than feebly remixed reprises of older themes.

Fans might still hold a grudge against The Last Jedi five years later, but The Rise of Skywalker is the movie that Star Wars can’t escape from. It effectively broke Star Wars as a movie franchise, and that’s why every new project since then has been a TV series. It also demonstrated, more than any other genre movie in…

Perhaps the most fundamental rule in all of comics or superhero media in general: when two heroes first meet, they have to fight it out for a bit before moving on to other stuff.

Probably in the same way that Cable was the villain of Deadpool 2. In that he really isn’t but has to go fight the hero first before they decide to join the same side for the greater good.

My thought was “Wow, Luthen doesn’t fuck around!” and then “Luthen must have spent an absolute fortune on this one ship!” and then “This doesn’t really match what we’ve known about Luthen, so there must be more to him”.

My stepson messaged me and told me he was going to start watching TAS since he heard the news. He’s a big fan of the animated movies, but never got to the show. I still remember racing home to catch it after school.

Even I cried as a 40-year old when I heard.  

Yeah, I also get serious Palpatine vibes from Luthen. Just as Palpatine worked for decades behind a pleasant facade, Luthen feels similar. He gives off Sith Lord vibes when he meets Lonni in the lower levels. I’m not suggesting that he’s an actual Sith, or even a force-user, but rather that he’s got a similar mindset…

I remember when Luthen said that he was giving everything for a “sunrise he’ll never see”, and it suddenly all clicked thematically- “Oh, shit”. What a good episode.

Luthen’s speech was great. Stellan Skarsgard is just fantastic.

Many shows have tried, but this captures the plight of the the common man fighting for survival in the system like no other: From whatever angle you look at it, if you want it or not, you are part of it and can’t escape being part of it. Better help some people while you are working your way through something better,…

Andor has easily become my favorite show of the moment and the best since The Watchmen a few years back. This is storytelling, this is acting, this is how to make Star Wars! I’ll be sad in a few weeks when the Season ends, but happy that I will get to binge it all over again

Seconding this. White Vision trying to become regular Vision by building his own family with wife and kids is somewhat similar to what Wanda did, without the whole romp through the different time periods. The Tom King story had all this creepy narration that would be phenomenal when Paul Bettany does it. They could…

I think it is just that Star Wars has announced a lot of movies in the past decade that never got made, and the ones that did get made, were at best divisive and at worst terrible.
