I can understand him not taking the time to dispose of the bodies, but was surprised that he didn’t at least gather up the lightsabers. Jecki was concerned by Mae taking Kelnacca’s lightsaber. After that brief moment of establishing that the lightsabers are important, you’d think that Sol would grab some, if not all…

“Why didn’t these Jedi who just barely survived getting one-manned by a guy who can throw his lightsaber through trees like a boomerang stay behind and wait to get sliced in half by a lightsaber thrown like a boomerange from hiding?”

They use the old EU the same way the mcu uses the comics. Mine it for good stories/ characters/ other world building or whatever, and then turn it into whatever new thing. I'm not saying it's always a good end result, just that it's a similar concept. There's some real weird EU stuff out there, so it's no surprise…

I don't think it's a stretch to assume that 1) Sol was totally overwhelmed and that there is some kind of jedi clean up crew that deals with this stuff, and 2) the dude was fucking TERRIFIED and wasn't just leaving the forest, but actually running from it

Wow. What a bias-loaded click-bait title leading to a cherry-picked viewpoint post.
I’m 100 for discussing storytelling quality and elements. However, OP doesn’t even use the word Saga in the post, merely presents the hasty generalization fallacy that the arbitrary construct of trilogies is inherently better than…

Yes, the lesson is that Marvel should have stopped at three movies, just like Star Wars ended after Return of the Jedi...

I enjoyed this movie a lot, but I also see the bogged-down-ed-ness of “The Franchise.” I don’t think this movie suffers as much as Captain America or Thor. It’s bizarre that anyone would called it the “Captain America Trilogy” when it’s two movies that are loosely connected and Avengers 2.5. Same with Thor. The…

Warner Bros. never figured out how to do shared universes because that was never their plan to begin with. I seriously doubt Man of Steel was intended to kick off a DC movie universe. I think it was planned as the first part of a trilogy of standalone Superman movies, based on the Nolan Batman trilogy. Then Avengers…

Yeah that is SUPER WEIRD!

It’s telling that to make their point the article literally tells you to ignore a Thor movie of your choosing. Like wut?

I’m with King Canute and LightingLouie - this is a weird take, especially for a super-hero film, a genre where the interconnectedness and the fact that the story never truly ends is a huge selling point (though it has a pro and con)

It is funny he is writing THIS article about a movie that has SUCH a divergent reaction between the Professional Reviewers and the Audience Reactions.

Haven’t seen the movie yet, but isn’t that what happened to the comics? When I started reading Marvels in the late ‘70s, most ongoing storylines were resolved in three or four issues, the idea being that it would be hard for casual readers (i.e., kids) to track down back issues. The big exception was Claremont’s Uncann…

Robbie’s Harley wouldnt mesh well with the Joker tone.

I just... I’m having a hard time understanding why they’re making another Joker movie. I saw the first movie one time, and I while I loved Phoenix’ performance, nothing about it made me want to see more. It’s a joyless, grim, intentionally depressing film about violence and mental illness, with a plot heavily…

“Lada Gaga” sounds like the name of a girl who helps out 007 in the first act of a Moore Bond movie but is murdered by her superiors for her betrayal.

At the time of this comment, the article reads “...he might be joined by Lada Gaga as Harley Quinn”. Yes, we know you meant “Lady”, but now I can’t help but imagine Joker doing a dance around a certain Russian vehicle.

I thought the same thing but I’m a huge theme park nerd

*pushes up glasses* It’s actually an interesting fail. The Spidey robot locked up which must have been an issue during testing. It probably happened enough times that the Imagineers planned for it, so the show has alternate dialogue in case it occured. The breakaway wall also allowed for easy replacement to get…
