If I recall correctly, the scene of Anakin and Padme at the Lars homestead was just slightly longer in the comic or novelization, adding a line or two showing Anakin’s conflict (maybe regret?) over giving in to his rage. After the line about “... but the women and the children, too. They’re like animals, and I…

[Vader] seems genuinely unimpressed, if not outright disgusted, by Tarkin and the military establishment’s embrace of the Death Star. (Of course, the prequels changed that impression, but they were always going to change it.)

No one’s arguing that the Tuskens in Attack of the Clones were good people or anything.

I 100% agree with out. That’s exactly how I read that scene as well.

Plus Anakin’s confession was more just that - a confession - than gloating. It’s (supposed to be) clear in the scene that he is still in rage and experiencing a profound crisis of conscience. One that is ultimately won over by his selfish emotions (the Dark Side) rather than his moral values (which, by this point,…

I think she understands his rage. She certainly doesn’t agree with every aspect of his character, they even disagree on politics. But Padme is alive in a time of war. She has killed people, she has sent her own people to die. She has seen brutality and injustices and fought against them. So while she is visibly…

I seriously think you need to read more about crunch culture because in the games industry it’s not a few weeks twice a year, it may be the last year and a half of a project. Think about that- 80 hour weeks for OVER A YEAR. It’s grueling and it impacts the personal lives of those doing the work (many an anecdote of…

I liked Eternals because his relationship was what tied him to Earth and was a huge motivating factor in fighting to save it.

Not just that but it also introduced new bugs, such as the “twinkle” over asteroids on the ME1 galaxy map no longer working.

Actually, he kind of did.

Don’t misunderstand me. I totally think he was the object of Joss Whedon’s “the token black guy should be grateful that he gets to be the token black guy in my movie” racism. 10000%. And when it comes to making that fact known, he should absolutely bang that drum in whatever way gets his voice heard. Anyone saying…

This! Now I don’t know enough about Snyder as a person to be certain he’s a better man than Whedon, but the evidence we DO have is a pretty good indication that he is. But the Snyder fanbois are incredibly obnoxious. Yes, I saw The Snyder Cut. No I’m not watching it fifteen more times until I magically “get it”, which…

“Get some therapy, you goofy fuck.” - best advice he will ever get, also, the most accurate take on his sad ass limp dick life

Bet money he’s forgotten that part of it already! In his mind he was a hero betrayed by his own. I wrote him off far in advance of “slavery was a choice” and you’d best believe that little fandango had me congratulating myself on my forsight.

star given just for the term “Goofy fuck”

Not to mention that his campaign was run by the GOP with the explicit goal of coercing false confessions of “electoral fraud” out of black election workers - and they brought in other black faces to do it.

Add to that, I’m not feeling any of his choice of friends. How can any Black person in his right mind befriend Candace Owens?

“Slavery was a choice.” Cooning with Trump. Now talking about hanging with Putin. Don’t sound like any friend I ever had.

Also, it’s interesting watching Cobra Kai as a person who has maybe seen the first Karate Kid one time - I can tell there’s a lot of nostalgia there, but I also have to read Wikipedia plot summaries about the references being made. Still a really good show, though.

It’s not perfect, but since this is inspired by The Matrix Revolutions (which I quite liked), I feel like I have to mention Keanu’s other recent long awaited sequel, Bill & Ted Face the Music - released in 2020, 29 years after the most recent film (Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey) and 31 years after the original (Bill &…
