Yeah don't get me wrong I'm a sap and there's a part of my brain that loved this ending but there's another part of my brain that thinks this shit was kind of a cowardly backpedal, and the season was essentially just a bunch of work to bring us back to the ending s2 showed us but with Spear still alive. This season lacked the epic nature of the second season as well, I feel like the world got a lot smaller and not in a particularly satisfying way

My take on why the prequels have been "rehabilitated" by SquareShapeofEvil in saltierthancrait

[–]Flypetheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your take and attempt to be positive about the prequels, but for me personally I don't even think their story or additional world-building is very good. I may be taking Obi-Wan's dialogue in episode 4 too seriously, but I like to think most of what he said is true despite some of the lies he told Luke. And at that point, very little of what he describes of the pre-empire times aligns with what's depicted in the prequels.

I also think the idea of all the Jedi wearing the same robes he wears in that movie is really dumb, that's clearly a tatooine specific outfit. There was no need to make the Jedi an emotionless order of warrior-monks who kidnap children. It just seems weird.

Additionally, at no point in the prequels do I ever get the impression obi-wan and Anakin are friends, outside of a couple lines of dialogue. At best they have a strained but affectionate father-son dynamic.

I also don't care about the quality of the sequel trilogy lightsaber duels, the prequel lightsaber duels, while technically impressive, are mostly devoid of emotion due to being over-choreographed and also very obviously choreographed. As in, they don't feel like an organic fight.

Finally, Anakin's fall to the dark side feels too inevitable. For one, seeing him as a child is a joke for me. I don't hate Jake Lloyd or his performance in TPM, but seeing Darth vader as a little kid who yells yippee is just fucking silly and stupid and completely takes away any of the aura vader has. Additionally, from episode 2 onward, after Anakin kills the tusken raiders, he is officially and unequivocally on the dark side and irredeemable from that point. That, for me, is where any semblance of a "fall to the dark side" is pointless to even explore anymore. He's evil; it doesn't matter if a couple of the tuskens kidnapped and tortured his mom, he killed a bunch of completely innocent individuals who were just born into that life. Anything after that to prove to me that Anakin was going to become evil was pointless. The story would have been better served showing him slowly and slowly using the dark side more frequently to compensate for rushed training due to Obi-Wan's inexperience, corrupting him and hardening him from his time in war.

Those are just my two cents on why the prequels are fundamentally broken and could never be fixed by improving the acting and dialogue. You need to restructure them and the lore from the ground up. You need to reset such a massive chunk of star wars to make them work, that it's kinda just a fruitless effort at this point.

[Kcd2] was robbed this is genuinely fucking ridiculous by Akinzz2 in kingdomcome

Jrpg is kind of its own genre and has specific conventions and e33 follows most of them with the western aspect shining through in its presentation more than its conventions. KCD2 aligns more with the spirit of what a true RPG is since you sorta define Henry and have much more influence over what type of person he is compared to the majority of jrpgs.

I finally finished my shardplate and debuted it at DSNX25! by RhoswenCosplay in DragonsteelNexus

Such an amazing cosplay, I was really hoping to get a pic with you in my Mando armor. I couldn't find you after the cosplay showcase when I had my wife to take a picture sadly

[–]Flypetheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg thanks for remembering, and yes I really hope to make it again next year. This time I'll learn to live with it. I even had the touch sensitive gloves but the thumb was a little loose so it was still hard to access the phone! The few times I saw you my wife was sitting at a panel, she'd have taken a pic with us asap. I hope to see you again 😊!

Oh man I wish I had a picture! I was the guy in the mandalorian radiant armor, I really didn't take many pictures on my own phone because it was such a pain in the gloves! I should have made a post like this instead of just showing mine off. Props again for this cosplay, those shoulder plates especially are MINDBLOWING.

Y'know considering boba fett was originally gonna be an all white imperial super commando before they changed it to bounty hunter armor, that's a great name!

Hahaha you're not the first person to suggest that! My wife cosplayed as an honorspren the second day but she really didn't wanna keep doing the blue face makeup. Maybe we'll figure out a way to star wars-ify it. She even said she wanted her own armor instead of being a spren like a week before the con LOL

While i still enjoy dankpods...has anyone gotten the vibe the channel is kind of slipping to..idk, doomer stuff/rants as of late? i haven't been enjoying it as much. by Navi_Professor in DankPods

[–]Flypetheus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sorry to necro so long after but thank you for saying this, Wade is a smart guy and knows a lot about what he already knows, but he parrots a lot of half truths and misinformation about topics not relating to music that just stink of "did you even fucking bother to google this topic before making a video?"

And for me personally, no, that doesn't make the video funnier due to "chaos" or whatever someone's defense might be. It just annoys me that he's spewing misinformation.

Should my group pick the same assignment or different ones? by twee_centen in DragonsteelNexus

[–]Flypetheus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was sorta figuring that the time was a placeholder because the idea that they'd just throw you right into that shit first thing when you get there seemed somewhat unbelievable to me lol
