I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed this.

That premise is literally Escape from New York. Am I crazy?

Locke & Key’s characters were too stupid for me to like any of them. They had plot breaking keys that they just forgot about half way thru the show that could have solved all their problems.

Is this a reference to the worst Doctor Who episode ever?

I second this... the McElroys have had shows where all the proceeds go to charities since they make so much money doing all their different stuff. If they’d known about this it wouldn’t be a story because it wouldn’t have happened.

Honestly to me it feels like they took the tone of the Venture Bros. and put it into the DC universe.

I didn’t enjoy it, but I really wanted to. Tonally it was all over the place, the writers/producers didn’t know if they were making a kids show, a teen drama, or a horror/mystery/fantasy show. And there are some blatant awful plot holes and it felt like the writers were jerking you (the viewer) around. The characters…

According to RottenTomatoes it had a 61% positive with critics and a 92% positive with audiences (https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/alita_battle_angel) and according to IMDB (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0437086/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) it had a budget of $170 million and had a worldwide box office gross of $404,852,543,…

It’s like Sony’s version of James Cameron wanting to make Battle Angel Alita for 20ish years.

Your analysis reminds me of people who loved and defended BvS.

Because that’s not what the plan was. Moreover, how is that tactically smarter? They’d end up with two ships far away from each other (which therefore could not offer each other any support) and out of fuel and not at an old Resistance base.

Then why am I even arguing with you? I reject your claims of Rose’s importance or of the films message having any cohesiveness or validity.

TLJ had some good character arcs, some not so good ones. Finn wasn’t good, in fact he wasn’t even necessary. Neither was Rose. Their characters were like side characters from some farcical comedy except it wasn’t funny.

I’ll counter your claims with this review of TLJ:

I agree. My take on the sequel trilogy is that JJ basically remade Star Wars, then Rian made a movie from a completely different sci-fi series and called it Star Wars, then JJ came back upset that he didn’t remake Empire, and shoved a remake of Empire and Jedi into one movie.

I actually didn’t have a problem with that in TLJ. I went in to Rise of Skywalker with a mental checklist of things I expected to happen that I thought were basically “fan fiction/theories” and pretty much all of the list was checked by the end of the film. Even one checked by the last “line” of the movie. If you’ve…

Both JJ’s and Rian Johnson’s films had issues/weaknesses. JJ’s were trying to answer the mystery box while literally (and deliberately) undoing what the previous director had done. Rian Johnson deviated from the supposed plan they’d made for the story and also had poor pacing, character development, and plot points…

In regards to your first portion of your post, it’s only excusable in sloppy and bad storytelling. The kind of storytelling reserved for bad horror movie sequels that keep revising the endings of previous ones to have the bad guy/monster return. Saying it’s a common thing doesn’t excuse it, you’re just saying Star…

There’s a pretty big difference between “improv” and a movie.

The Rise of Skywalker was bogged down by answering all the questions or re-answering all the questions The Last Jedi answered poorly and essentially disregarding that film (personally I didn’t like TLJ for many reasons, most of them plot and pacing). That’s the biggest weakness of Rise of Skywalker: trying to fix…
