You can make an argument that Patty Jenkins wasn’t one of the top five directors last year and that omitting her in the category wasn’t a snub.

Yeah it’s not a story’s responsibility to dole out lore, and the answer to the question of Rey’s parents isn’t “who cares, it’s irrelevant,” it’s “Rey assumed she couldn’t be important unless her parents had been important, and she was wrong. And, in fact, the futility of that kind of thinking is what this entire…

An opinion is an opinion, and you’re far from alone in not liking this movie, but did we really need to know who Snoke was?

Huh, these things you hated were some of my favorite aspects. It’s almost as if our opinions are subjective...

Why does Snoke’s backstory matter? We don’t know Obi-Wan’s backstory, and it makes not a whit of difference. Ditto for Yoda. Every i and t does not need to be dotted and crossed.

Fans pre-Dec. 15:

Funnily enough, I loved this movie for the exact same reasons you hated it, my dude

I’m surprised and disappointed by the amount of negative fan reaction, especially in comparison to TFA, which I also enjoyed but was a much more flawed film.

I feel like this theory has to reach HARD to explain all the evidence that he isn’t her father.

Conservatives: The liberals want to turn the world into a PC hellscape where sex and swearing aren’t allowed!

Counterpoint: This is exactly the kind of douchey slippery-slope bullshit that the alt-right is constantly peddling, a paean to “If you don’t let us use racial slurs and sexually assault women, WHERE WILL IT ALL STOP!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!?!!11??!?!” writ large on the silver screen complete with a Very Special Guest…

Well there is also the fact Battle Angel Alita takes place in the US despite being a Japanese Manga.

the current PC hellscape we live in

redskull3000, you are fined one credit.

Sure, that old chestnut.

Everyone one of you that have been complaining about Capcom abandoning Mega Man better buy this game.
