I’ll tell that to myself. A person in a tank unit that didn’t use tanks in a riot situation.

Or why doesn't the Empire have access to these shields and put them on their Star Destroyers. 

A small Rebel base has a shield strong enough to withstand space bombardment from a fleet of Star Destroyers, but the Star Destroyers are vulnerable from one ion cannon?

But a Star Destroyer wouldn't have that same shield ability? 

The shield is powerful enough to protect against a fleet of Star Destroyers, but you can just walk through it?

So the Rebels can fly and shoot lasers just fine (even into space), and have shields so strong they can withstand massive impacts, but they’re so weak you can walk through and land AT-ATs on a planet, and the best fucking option the Empire can come up with is to land AT-ATs? Fuck outta here.

Riot control? We used HMMWVs and Bradleys. 

There are better options to intimidate. And intimidation means nothing if you can't back it up. 

Why have actual tactics when you can spend time defending a dumb military vehicle that makes no sense? 

We used HMMWVs with machine guns. 

No, but they moved faster, had 360° firepower, and weren't held up by rope. 

Or just get some ropes. I can't believe people are defending these things. 

A 100 ton steel ball would survive reentry mostly intact.

So the can’t attack from space, but they can fly to the surface in a ship big enough to land several giant AT-ATs? And that makes any kind of sense? That doesn’t even work within the movie’s logic. Why don’t they just land a ship full of TIE bombers? Or a division of stormtroopers? Or any number of other things better…

Battle tanks are terrible against a riot. They’re long-range ground weapons and are more vulnerable the closer you get to them.

I’m pretty sure if I dropped a 100 ton steel ball on it from space, it would destroy it a lot easier than a slow walking target.

Nah, they’re completely useless. This is a Type-2 civilization. Slow, large land transports that have minimal defenses are dumb. They’d even be dumb deployed on Earth’s modern battlefields.

I mean, if you just finished reading the LotR books and JRR Tolkien was like, "Here's some more about Sam and Pip and no one else," I wouldn't give a shit.

Sam Wilson only has the power of wearing a cool backpack. So, maybe he's not Captain America yet because he's not Captain America yet. 

Yeah, but to be fair, I never felt like anything was at risk during the first Avengers movie. Like, at all.
