I have IRL friends who vocally dislike the movie for various reasons; TLJ hate isn’t just trolling. I merely disagree with it. I can still appreciate that SuperLeia was jarring for a lot of people in its hokeyness.

Yeah I’ve done a multiple choice physics test once where a diagram of a curved trajectory like that was the “correct answer” in a question about what path would a bomb take if dropped from a plane moving at whatever mph. Forward momentum carries it forward for a bit before gravity’s pull curves it downward.

She’s not even good at everything she does! People complain “she’s never left the planet but knows how to fly the Falcon” but she spends half of that action sequence crashing into the ground. Definitely not a Mary Sue. Seven of Nine was a Mary Sue in Star Trek: Voyager. Super smart, super strong, most of the male cast…

MarkusMacMarkieThree is an alt-right Trump-voting white supremacist troll who wants to make people think that black people are as much of an unwelcoming asshole as the alt-right is.

Username checks out

The Lorca reveal seems kinda Reservoir Dogs-ish to me. Tarantino says that Mr Blonde does the little dance before the ear scene because he’s meant to come across as charming. The audience, having heard from White and Pink how Blonde lost the plot during the heist, is forewarned that this is not a stable person.…

I really love the enthusiasm Brolin sounds like he’s bringing to this.

For me, it’s simple. I like tactical espionage action. This is not tactical espionage action.

It wasn’t even deconstructing Luke. That was his established personality since the 80s.

If TLJ has shown me anything it’s that Hollywood in general and Disney in particular have started to realise that subversion of common tropes is a valid way to keep things fresh. Your reasons that heroes die are not the only ones available; just the only ones that are common.

Thor has matured but if we really go back to the “old European legend” style of storytelling, every hero’s journey needs to come full circle with a tragic end. The fatal flaw that’s been there all along will kill him. And for Thor, that’s his pride. On bad days it becomes arrogance, and there’s still at LEAST one more…

Of the big three, Thor has the most unexplored villains. Amora, the Norn Queen, the Wrecking Crew, Grey Gargoyle, I could go on... I especially want The Wrecking Crew. Picture this:

Hey dude, you can like or dislike whatever you want, I’m just responding to you (kinda regretting it now though)

Don’t forget: in Jurassic Park the DNA samples were incomplete so they used frog DNA to fill in the gaps.

The makers of Jurassic Park have apparently handwaved it, saying that the reason the raptors are featherless is due to Hammond’s decision to fill in the DNA blanks with frog DNA.

Starring for call for systemic review as well as charges to be brought

He doesn’t give up. He makes the decision to opt out of the cycle of violence. For him, giving up would be accepting it as fate that he has to fight (and probably kill) his nephew.

I thought it was like the UK where the Queen is head of state and also the head of the church

Four movies and a TV show might work though

Is it too on the nose to reply “that is why you fail”?
