You can probably get the 9-disc Blu-ray set for less than that. I have it from the day it was released, and those movies look and sound incredible in HD.

I am convinced Snoke is small. It’s a classic Abrams attempt at misdirection.

>“Ren” is basically the equivalent of “Darth” It’s a title, not a name

There is absolutely zero chance that Rey is a clone. I have no love for JJ Abrams’s storytelling, but I refuse to believe he would do something so trite (and Lucasfilm/Disney would not allow anything so amateurish either, and we know the bean counters are actually in charge of the story).

You didn’t mention what I think is the biggest hint - the way Rey looks at Luke and gets incredibly emotional. The woman who is somewhat pre-occupied with wanting her family to return tears up immediately at the first sight of Luke Skywalker.

Star Wars is a heavily symbolic story. Luke’s lack of a hand is there to make a symbolic point about his connection to Anakin (and his potential for evil).

Dumbest theory ever. Cloning someone and altering their appearance (and gender) defeats the purpose (and would be terrible writing, creating a nothing twist for no good reason). The cloners in Episode II adjusted the clones’ personalities to be more soldier-like.

So you think movie studios should only be concerned with making the most popular movies possible rather than let the film-makers create a story they want to tell in a style of their own?

I think you have this the wrong way around. The Marvel movies lack individual personality (except for Guardians of the Galaxy, which is amazing and very much a James Gunn film, and the childish Deadpool). They look and feel the same. The plots are generally quite generic. The level of humour and action is the same in…

The big problem is sites like this, and many of the people who frequent them and comment on them, thinking they have a God-given right to decide which movies are worthy and which aren’t.

I think a better approach would be to James Bond it. Swap directors and actors every 3 or 4 movies and have a fluid continuity. They could adapt comics and not worry too much if events contradict previous films, just like how comics work. You could have serious and realistic in one movie and straight-up comics…

Murderfest? A handful of people die (offscreen, implicitly) during intense, violent fights. Batman doesn’t execute anyone or go out of his way to kill anyone. There is collateral damage in some very violent life-or-death situations.

Wow, The Avengers at #1, really? It has barely a plot, and is little more than a collection of action scenes and ways to bring multiple characters together, all of whom get nothing particularly interesting to do.

It was addressed in the after-credits scene.

That’s not an accurate portrayal of that scene. Jonathon Kent was clearly unsure. He knew Clark needed to hide his powers, and he was unsure of how far he should go to do so. The way Costner delivers the ‘I don’t know, maybe’ line clearly shows that he’s conflicted and unsure. He’s frightened.

Spiteful Superman? Did you not see the movie?

So you haven’t seen the Snyder movie where Superman kills Zod (having no other choice) and instantly questions his actions, and the one where he chooses to be the ‘bigger man’ and goes to great lengths to preserve life and live up to his ideals, and also to pass on those ideals to a new friend?

Um...this movie is nothing like any previous (film) version of Batman or Superman (except Man of Steel, obviously). It’s also the polar opposite of the Marvel movies (the movie reminds me of Marvel’s Netflix shows actually - kind of drawn out, leisurely paced).
