And they just remembered that Malcolm is evil, so his material is likely to get dramatically better from here on out.

Does that ever get explicitly mentioned in Clone Wars or Rebels? Because I’d like it if we could just say Yoda meant that Sith always come in MULTIPLES of two (if you found one there must be at least one other) and not... there’s literally exactly two. ... I had never taken his remark the latter way and was baffled…

I think J.J. Abrams said he was about 7 feet in response to questions about if Snoke was really a giant, or was just overcompensating with his hologram projector.

(I wanna know if the feed he gets from Starkiller base is correspondingly tiny, by the way)

Yeah, but they have two shots to win back the crowd with Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman first. If those films work well, they can relax a little about Justice League. If they don’t go well... I may skip the film, but I’d love to sit down with some popcorn and watch the studio freak out.

Which is kinda weird when you think about it. I mean, what, were the expecting people would hate the trailer? Why release that trailer then?

Also, can anyone else think of a time the studio basically straight up said their trailer was horrifyingly misleading?

Like the actual article says though... that’s not nearly enough money. Even if they are covering expenses, the film was supposed to make a lot more than that, and it came up short.

He did say better than anyone else at the studio. ... Could be the other people at the studio are worse.

... No. No. That’s not it. No one could be worse.

Yeah, but there’s no Earthly reason to do it in that order if you’re planning on making solo films anyway. Which, unlike the Justice League TV show, they are. Besides that, with a TV show you can introduce a lot of characters at once because you have all season to get to know them. With a film, you have between an…

Well, if Justice League sucks, they can drop the rest of the stand alone films. I mean, if you’re going to introduce almost everyone in the team up film, how much do you need the stand alone movies?

While they are bad because... they’re bad, I do think DC is mishandling this. Not that there are no other ways to do a shared universe, but the way they’re doing it is just weird. Introduce Superman in his own film. Okay, makes sense. Then introduce Batman... in the next Superman film. That’s... kinda weird, but okay,…

That was a pretty cool scene, but I never got quite why she was bothering. ... It’s not like they could hurt her. She just left her nameless buddy to deal with Superman by himself while she screwed around.

Also, I think she was the only person in that film to use superspeed, for some reason.

He did order a village torched for no real reason and slaughtered his classmates. I don’t think they’re just looking for extra ways to show him being evil.

Not to mention that Phantom Menace is almost entirely pointless, and by starting Anakin as an adult, you can get to the stuff that matters faster, and have an extra entire film to use as character development. I’m pretty sure there is literally nothing in Phantom Menace that is actually needed for the plot of the next…

I’m not entirely sure about that. He does, after all, stop Luke from killing the Emperor. Which would have probably pushed Luke to the Dark Side and taken out the Emperor, leaving Vader the new Emperor with his own apprentice/son. Maybe Vader didn’t have the political support he needed at that moment though. I mean,…

You get a star for that last item in your list being so very, very cruel... and so on-point.

The other thing that would have helped: Having Anakin actually be powerful, instead of just saying he is, and showing the impact of the war.

You have a guy with power, real power. Someone who can turn the tide of a battle, just by being there, someone who can do things no one else can do. He’d be someone who swore and…

Except those guys can’t just turn around and leave. They’ve gotta watch it happen and pretend everything is fine. ... I think the Empire had a teeny tiny morale problem...

I’d argue that, after Leia, Kylo is the least whiny. There’s no moaning about power converters, or telling your teacher that they’re asking the impossible of you (I’m not a teacher, but I work with students. Nothing is more annoying than that. ... Okay lots of things are, but it’s still really annoying). He doesn’t…

It isn’t necessarily a good thing, but it works here. We know why he got the position he did: there are no other options. The Force isn’t strong with just about anyone, so the crazy angry asshole will have to do. Just like your spotty general who hasn’t ever actually seen battle will have to do. (The latter has some…

He’s very much like Anakin, except... well it’s intentional this time around. He’s not supposed to be the cool badass villain. He’s that guy who’s really screwed up, and really wants to be an evil badass but... he’s not. He never will be. And he knows it.

He’s also not really that whiney. He complains in a few scenes,…
