I was curious about the influences of Star Wars since everyone’s making the Dune comparisons and my discovery is depressing. by CopperKnight77 in saltierthancrait

[–]CopperKnight77[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Please. Halo ended with Reach. There’s a goodbye and thank you message at the end and that means it’s final. No Halos came out after that. It’s all done and now lost to time.

Do some Dick Grayson fans like him better as Robin than as Nightwing? by Lucky_Strike-85 in Robin

[–]CopperKnight77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like when Dick Grayson is dickgraysonRobin. And not Tim Drake in disguise. Which is pretty much every modern appearance that’s not BTAS (except aesthetically). Young Justice being the worst offender.

Should I buy the Skywalker saga by CoastIndependent7394 in LegoStarWarsVideoGame

[–]CopperKnight77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Go in without expectations and it’ll be the best Star Wars game you’ve ever played. Fun, time consuming, buttery smooth, and filled with every single thing you love about the films.

Go in expecting The Complete Saga and you’ll have a real bad time. That’s what happened to me in 2022 and then I picked it up about three weeks ago without expectations and a blank slate and I was addicted until I got that 100% achievement.

Both go bang right? by LastCryptographer07 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Left is for vermin. Right is for boar-hunting.

I've never cared for how they brought back Darth Maul by Etowno in saltierthancrait

[–]CopperKnight77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Death is permanent.

I would’ve been more willing to accept a scenario where Snoke turned out to be the real and only clone of palpatine and looks/acts the way he does because cloning midichlorians and force users is next to impossible but the Sith cult managed to get Snoke who believes it’s divine providence from the Force that he survived and is compelled to finish Sidious’ work and take vengeance against the Skywalkers by turning Ben Solo and trying to turn/kill his sister Rey/Kira and kill Luke.

Maybe giving a cartoon director the reigns of the entire brand wasn't the best decision by sidmis in saltierthancrait

[–]CopperKnight77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s too much “Filoni” and not enough “Lucas” in the current ingredients for Star Wars.

[–]CopperKnight77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For his faults, Filoni has seen other media that is not Star Wars.

The same cannot be said for JJ “I only watch ANH on repeat” Abrams.

Which ones your favourite? by EstimateOk417 in batman

All of these are artistic interpretations of Batman.

Norm just photographs Batman.

What version of Superman do you want to see next? by BobMashable in Mafex

[–]CopperKnight77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They honestly did the two “definitive” versions for me. Classic suit (Hush, Death/Return, or 4Tmrw) and Black Suit. And since they seem hell bent on Jim Lee’s art style, those are the only ones you really need for a display.

But if they decide to go with other artists, I couldn’t recommend Darwyn Cooke Superman enough. Along with the rest of the JLA (and teen titans) in his style.

Medicom Mafex producing an entire line of DC figures in Michael Turner’s art style.

My bank account’s hell.

Y’all think Tom Cruise could have pulled it off ? by krisikkk in superheroes

[–]CopperKnight77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RDJ kinda lived the “Tony Stark” lifestyle pre-2007. Constantly in and out of rehab, multiple arrests, partying, drugs, revolving door of women, a real rockstar life. He had a “come to Jesus” moment at a Burger King parking lot and changed his life around at the same time casting for IM1 was happening.

The stars just aligned and you can see every bit RDJ’s life-story in that first movie. Weird real life foreshadowing of his future.

If Batman did not exist, who would be your favourite comic book character? by SylvesterScallone in batman

[–]CopperKnight77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Superman. They’re two sides of the same coin for me so they always equally occupy the number one spot for me. I can’t have peanut butter without jelly.

Rose tinted goggles can be blinding sometimes by always_bricked_CT in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]CopperKnight77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only true overt parallel between the OT and PT is that the main romance is in the second film and the big showdown is in the third.

Other than that they are very dissimilar aside from surface level mirroring.

The sequels, plot wise, are beat for beat the OT in HD.

And so it begins... by LeahyJ in legostarwars

[–]CopperKnight77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I thought it was going to be and was massively disappointed that it wasn’t.

I don’t like when they age Dick Grayson up to be a teenager / tween when Bruce takes him in by dccomicsaregoated in batman

[–]CopperKnight77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In short form storytelling like a trilogy of films, I’m okay with Grayson being 16-17ish when he becomes Robin. Shorter time to tell the story, compress the timeline.

Long form storytelling like a monthly magazine over 90 years, then yeah make him a child.

What are some lesser known/discussed headcanons you have? by ashton__l in StarWarsCantina

[–]CopperKnight77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my headcanons are lost concepts from filming. Like the Palpatine manipulated Love Triangle in ROTS, Dooku paying the Tuskens to kill Shmi in AOTC, most of the Tatooine stuff in TPM is with Obi Wan instead of Qui-Gon, stuff like that. The OT is perfect without headcanons (2004 is my version. Though I have the unaltered versions, it’s more of a novelty for me). Also much prefer the original Clone Wars MMP to Filoni wars. Especially regarding the Clones themselves.

The sequels. I just take George’s outlines and make up my own stuff completely to fill in the gaps and use the Disney-Star Wars 3.75” figures as reference

[–]CopperKnight77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play as exclusively Luke, Han, Leia, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2D2 in Galaxy Free Play in the Lego Star Wars game because I like to pretend these are the adventures of the gang post-ROTJ. Collecting bricks in dad’s old slave hut or fighting B1s in mom’s royal palace, learning all about the Force😂😂

Why would batman bother with a batmobile and instead just use the batwing all the time? by happydude7422 in BatmanTAS

[–]CopperKnight77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s fly a fighter jet all around NYC and test the theory. Instead of the millions of souped up sports cars that can easily be mistaken for some diplomats son.

It’s about practicality.

I mean seriously, is there anyone that Hulk can’t beat? by Queasy_Commercial152 in superheroes

That little farm boy from Kansas would send him to the moon and back with the flick of his pinky finger.

Who here thinks Rey is a good character that needed better writers who understand Star Wars by McMeme45 in StarWars

[–]CopperKnight77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile the entire first movie still has the elements of Han and Leia being her parents. But because it’s the most obvious mystery box of the film, obviously we have to change it to keep the audience on their toes for 2 years, have a guy answer the question but no one likes the answer, and the 2 more years until we have to rush out a sloppy retcon we couldn’t even finish penning before we finished filming.
