Wondering how much of “the Jedi must end” ties into the position taken by the Bendu in Rebels.

Am I the only one whose response to this is, “Wow! So this game really will be coming out?”

Brainstorm!

Not gonna lie, they look like granny panties.

The hands brought into the shot were added, and toward the end you realize (if you’ve seen the original) that the scene is actually running backward from how it is in the movie.

I’m thinking I might have a way to distinguish the two... pretty sure Cindy’s dialog and animation works whether she’s in front of a car or a stripper pole.

As I indicated at the end of my post, mannerisms are a cultural product, thus a learned product of memory and not genetic.

Or watch Stand Alone Complex, which is the best version of Ghost in the Shell to watch.

Who the hell will pay their recurring fee?

They aren’t white, race isn’t merely a skin tone even when you are just a brain in a fake cybernetic body

Something to consider: because of the nature of the Major, the studio is absolutely not bound to having Scarlett return to the role and any sequel could still be 100% in continuity with the first movie.

I think her approach was accurate to the Major that was written for this movie. It was the script choices that were made to have a Major who is not confident or familiar with her cybernetic body.

I don’t think that the writer even realized there was any sort of debate on the issue. The movie was uniquely placed to actually have a some sort of discussion about it that almost no other film can and it simply didn’t. Huge missed opportunity.

My main complaint is that they should have taken it and run with it. It’s like there’s a 300 lb gorilla in the room, and the only thing we get is, “hey, does someone smell gorilla?” when they were uniquely situated to actually engage that gorilla in a unique way that almost no other setting can do right now.

The vast majority of it concerns the pacing, the lack of narrative and character development, over-reliance upon scenery, and a few other issue that have absolutely nothing to do with the casting controversy.

You’re best off watching Stand Alone Complex. It’s the best adaptation of the original materal—I’d even go so far as to say it improves on the original material.

I’m in the same camp, I like this movie better than the ‘95 movie.

The soundtrack was not distinctive, which was what I was hoping for.

I’ve seen it and written up my thoughts. Posted it as a new discussion under this topic: http://io9.gizmodo.com/1793932448#_ga=1.154868413.423347786.1484330074

I’ll just state it now, this includes spoilers.
