maybe the fact that hes a horny and slightly obsessive 18-19 year old explains it?

The Plinkett stuff about the romance plot and how many times Ani fucks up is some of the funniest Plinkett stuff

im not laughing at the actual actor, I mean when he spouts shit like "now THIS is pod racing" being funny lines because of how awkwardly theyre delivered and how out of place they are. What kind of asshole actually laughs at the actor's life being ruined.

the podracing scene's big issue were all the other aliens looking like out of place cartoon characters, lol.

what i meant clover is that i know that some people are being a lot more empathetic about it after finding out that some dickwad fans kinda ruined the dude's life

but those are still the cringiest most painful to watch scenes in the entire series as far as i'm concerned

"But that's execusing bad acting and character development because of an equally bad concept. You are just trying to kill two birds with one stone while using a rubber dildo(sorry I can't think of a better metaphor right now honestly)."

Or maybe because it makes sense and it seems like literally nobody has ever picked up on that???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

i mean the entire scene itself, on top of being ridiculously overlong, was out of place (beyond needing something to justify young ani as a good pilot or the precursor to a good pilot). that and again, every single line he says in the film

The issue is that youre trying to justify bad writing with real life situations that, as far as the universe and writing is aware, arent things inherent to their own universe and characters. @alex

"arent things inherent to their own universe and characters"

maybe they're inherent to humans in general and since anakin is a human it still makes sense? lol

Thank you Star Wars.

Yeah what park said. Like how is Han and Leia's relationship or even Fin's crush on Rey not similar to shit in real life?

and also you can have an "awkward, slightly creepy but means well" character who isnt a product of bad acting and writing and directing.

yeah humans who can manipulate microscopic beings in the balance of the universe to make things fly everywhere or choke people to death. Fantasy setting and fictional settings allow for character writing that does not depict real life.

And like I said you can have an "awkward, slightly creepy but means well" character who isnt a product of bad acting and writing and directing.

Ahah

Episode 7 was some of the most bullshit Star Wars ever.

I can write tens if paragraphs about why it blows and it's just a cash-grab, but I'd rather not as I have already been in a discussion like this numerous times and .. well fanboys will be fanboys. Sorry to say but prequels > force awakens.

"prequels > force awakens."

Honestly, TFA is better objectively, but like, I completely agree. It just didn't feel like Star Wars unless OGTrilogy characters were on screen, and I like Rey and Fin and all the new characters. Also, the fact that there is literally no planets or species from the OG or prequel trilogies mentioned/shown bothered the fuck out of me, and made it feel like the movie takes place in some alternate star wars galaxy where everything is different but yet all the events from the first 6 movies still happened. Not too mention, the movie felt as Disney-like as they could make it while still keeping the Star Wars name.

It tried too hard to be Star Wars and it failed. Visually it had great effects, but they weren't interesting in the slightest bit. Because it all felt like one set. I liked Kylo believe it or not, but I ABSOLUTELY hated Finn and Rey. Rey for obvious Mary sue reasons. And don't try to bullshit me about Luke being a Mary Sue because it's not fucking true in the slightest bit.

Finn ... oh my god why ? Why did we have to put the stereotypical-oneliner-black guy into this. INTO STAR WARS. Supposedly set in a galaxy FAR FAR away. Y'all bitchin about sand ? How about this genius line : " You got a boyfriend, a cute boyfriend ? "WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK. Where was the otherworldly authenticity ?! There are so many things wrong with that line, that I alnost died of cringe when I heard it. I'm gonna avoid talking about the Death Star 2.0 and basically New Hope 2.0 because it's obvious. Also Han asking for Rey to be his partner, after having met her like a week ago ? WHAT ? Do you guys realize how they completely fucked the characters. Admittedly there were some good Han Solo moments, but that enough wasn't enough to salvage this wreck.



Fuck me, I went on a rant again. It's just so hard when you are passionate about something.
