Got it.  I’ll catch this on streaming and only pay attention to the few good parts.

It goes way deeper than religion. This is more or less them laying the foundation for something they want to use to identify undesirables.. Today it’s porn, tomorrow it could be because you shopped at the wrong place, or liked the wrong thing on Facebook.

I think a lot about AI media and the current state of AI, and I think a disconnect is that a lot of media is about how AI develops to be on par with humanity on an emotional and cooperative level (AI recognizing that they both have the same flaws and struggles and that they’ll be able to accomplish great things if…

Re: not just wanting the Netflix show again, same. I’m especially not interested in another show that treats having Daredevil being in costume like its an embarrassing mistake.

That seems like a sure fire way to make sure Aquaman 2 bombs.

Nobody gives a shit if you find him annoying. You couldn’t just say that he did a good thing?

How dare he have his own opinions!! 

I used to dislike his curmudgeonly comments for the reasons other commenters have pointed out here, but he’s been consistent in his views for so long, I have to admire it. The problems with the comic book industry he’s pointed out have also gotten worse, so his cynicism is justified IMO. I think that he is still a…

I mean the original trilogy’s saber combat was also very much “swinging a club” style.

This shit is already sold out in my town and people are near-raging on facebook because they can’t get tickets.

That’s a fair observation. I guess I’m a little more forgiving of it here because of the history that’s already been established, but I can see where it might be annoying for the casual viewer.

“So they are willing to spend days chasing the resistance when all the First Order had to do is jump a few ships slightly ahead of them and wipe them out.”

What? That Rain made a movie with complicated characters but some people just wanted wish fulfillment cardboard characters that do exactly what you expect them to?

Star Wars may be doomed

I loved TLJ. The world building that people here seemed to think didn’t exist, was done beautifully in the Canto Bight scenes. I learned much more about the galaxy and the ordinary people in it there than the entire original trilogy. (How many people did we meet in the original trilogy that weren’t either in the…

It’s odd how most people beyond people you know think it was a good movie. Along with most critics. Which would mean that Solo not performing well has more to do with people just not giving a shit about a Solo movie in general as opposed to their opinion on another movie not related to Solo.

Let me guess: most of these folks are online?
