It seems so obvious when Filoni puts it in these terms.

imo a franchise’s canon should be messy and inconsistent. Art/media means different things to different people, and Star Wars especially has a bunch of influences, ideas, and themes with no one really comprising what “makes” Star Wars. Placing that under the purview of one person who’ll then decide what Star Wars “is”…

“He wasn’t doing all our nerd stuff!”

Yeah, the allegations that he’s choosing to use an old school/analogue way of making a film rather than a quicker digital shortcut...is that supposed to upset me?

With regards the kissing - if people say it was inappropriate, I’ll believe them.

KotPotA cost $160 million to make and is doing well critically. The previous movie in the franchise made less than $500 million worldwide. Less than $150 million of that gross came from the American box office. Kingdom’s $56 million opening is roughly on par with War’s $56 million opening.

Ok so here’s my pitch: It’s modernish times and everyone has accepted that Jason is an unstoppable force of nature. Crystal Lake is a national park and only like four people die there a year. Most cause they were taking ill advised selfies as Jason lumbered up behind them.

Every single thing about this looks like an AI-generated image. David Corenswet looks like you put Henry Cavill, Matt Bomer, and Liam Hemsworth into an image generator. Same with the Superman suit. Just toss in Cavill’s suit, the New 52 suit, the Kingdom Come suit, and the Superman and Lois suit for good measure. Even…

Ah yes, the reductive staying power of a meme. I’m not saying a sequel was a good idea, but if your first movie has generated a slew of memes that indicates longevity and a place in the pop culture consciousness, not some irrelevant digital ghetto.

I promise there’s someone left off this list who was funnier than Jimmy Fallon.

HAHAHAHA six movie trilogy sounds exactly like something he would say.

Speaking for myself, movies like Richie Rich, Blank Check, etc. were less about (financial) freedom from my parents and more about wish fulfillment. I had a good relationship with my parents and did not want them blinked out of existence so I could do whatever I wanted. But those movies were fun because they let me…

This show honestly feels like it was written by utter sociopaths. Everyone is mean, cruel, and only cares about themselves and those like them. It honestly makes me almost believe those weird theories that this was written by crypto conservatives hoping to rage bait everyone because it honestly feels like what you…

It has nothing to do with everyone’s race and everything to do with the characters being intensely unlikable and unfunny. There were a couple good gags (the fog festival being the best), but everything it tried to do was done far better by the movie Bottoms, which is essentially just the second episode of Velma…

I made it through 1.5 episodes. I think all the actual ideas and concepts for the show could work, it’s just the execution was not great.

I’m not sure I’ve read a single good thing about this show.

Yeah, sending a subsequent explanation in another envelope that your receivers are now paranoid about seems poorly thought through.

Well like the article says there’s a second letter with the “lol that was a fun prank wasn’t it? Please watch our movie.” Don’t know who thought of that brilliant idea, because I'm sure there were way more people than the one in this story who opened the creepy drawing letter first and got freaked out

Maybe I’m not savvy enough to understand marketing, but sending envelopes with creepy kids drawings doesn’t actually advertise anything, right?

I’ll be sad to see Lower Decks go, but I think the show has gone so well that the characters are now simply too competent to remain Lower Deckers for any longer. Sort of how Community wore out its premise after two years and four years, and had to continually lampshade the fact that they’re all still there six years…
