One of the best things about that Lando series is that it fleshes out his character in a way that the movies never really do beyond “he’s Black Han.” It really paints him as more of a confidence man and a swindler more than a criminal, which is infinitely more interesting. 

The spoiler is right in the headline. Referring to the ending of a remake as “mind-boggling” suggests there’s something different about it compared to the original ending.

It’s a remake. Pointing out, specifically, the “mind-boggling ending” suggests that there’s something noteworthy there. If it was just the same ending as the original, there’d be nothing “mind-boggling” about it. 

Why not just go with “Here’s your place to talk about FF7R”?

The answer is a strong “depends.”

“the fact that everything hinges on not just ignoring The Last Jedi, but completely contradicting where that film was going and the themes of that film.”

Honest question: do we know if there’s someone on the Lucas side of things checking for continuity errors like this?

but before Birds of Prey, nothing about Harley’s depiction in the DCEU suggested she was anything but straight. One of the big problems with Suicide Squad was the way the film made a point of framing Harley as the Joker’s girlfriend rather than a fully-realized person in her own right

Skillfully.

Ahem:

Literally wrote this this morning. It’s pretty much self-parody at this point.

IO9: where nothing gets by an editor without a dumb sex comment.

Don't you dare bring All Star Superman into this. It's done nothing to you to deserve that. 

I literally just typed this in another post, so sorry if this is redundant.

Some pushback I get on my thoughts on TLJ/ROS are “wouldn’t it have been interesting to see Rey struggle with coming from nothing?”

I mean, your assumption that I didn’t like TLJ because I didn’t like the answers I was given is exactly that - your assumption.

And structurally, when the final act of a trilogy is left that wide open with the need for a big bad to be generated from nothing, I have a hard time seeing that as any sort of satisfying.
