It’s the same thing that happened in Doctor Who to the Daleks when Davros was created.
I mean, before that there was Yarvelling, but nobody ever knew or cared about him.

So much this. First Contact is by far the best TNG film, but I hate that it absolutely ruined TNG’s best villain.

This. Lower Decks is clearly crafted with love for Trek, and is also really funny. I highly recommend it for any Star Trek fan.

Martial arts dork rant incoming....the OG Obi-Wan v Vader from EP IV is probably the most “realistic” of all the scenes as it doesn’t look like a pre-programed set. Obviosly all of these are “coreographed” but that one had the awkward pacing and more direct/simple attacks that you would expect actual sword fighters…

This-over the years Flash has been written as just really fast to godlike. But I love the Rogues Gallery. 

Ah ok fair point...gotta love the blue PJs!  Anyhow I think you’re underestimating the sheer coolness of boomerang...bah who am I kidding that silver age shit was silly as hell right?

If you’re talking about the TV series it’s just hilariously badly written after the second or third season, mostly because Flash’s powers are almost always an auto win button.  I’m almost done with season 8 and believe me it has taken a lot of willpower to stay with it.

You Only Live... Nice.

You’re not alone. It got SUCH hype I went into it expecting to be at least entertained. I was mostly annoyed.

Fett was bad, but at least it didn’t actively damage the canon. Kenobi, on the other hand, did exactly that and was awful, to boot. Making Leia and Vader main characters was ill-judged enough, and then the finale doubled down by building a climax around Luke, too. And who could forget Reva, the most spectacularly…

I liked that movie, too, with the same caveat. It was about a million times better than Avatar.

Yeah, haters. If a sequel retroactively gives the first movie slightly more depth 13 years later, then all of your accurate criticisms of the original were just short-term thinking. You morons. You absolute dumb bastards.

Have you actually READ the John Carter novels? They’re nothing like Avatar. Like, at all.

The Goggins!  He does nothing!!

I’m old, so I actually read the covers off of the John Carter books as a kid. Avatar didn’t resemble them in the slightest. In fact, a straight up adaptation, cultural issues and all would have been far better than what we got.

I see you pointedly ignored the Supreme Court, which you would have to in order to even try to make such a stupid overall point.

Some people forget that Neil Breen and Tommy Wiseau and James Nguyen are also “auteurs”.

“What’s the deal with airline food? Why don’t they make that out of the black box?”

The critical aspect is that those weird old customs must be pagan-like rituals. If the customs are tied to Christianity, it’s gothic horror (e.g., “Children of the Corn”).

It depends on the region, but broadly it involves rural communities that keep up pagan-like practices (e.g., nature worship, ritual sacrifices, etc.).
