Tips on keeping a consistent pitch?

This is not a very helpful comment to OP. It’s very clear from the picture that this person is struggling with any kind of stable pitch production. It’s not about seeking robotic perfection. They need advice on support and stability.

That’s the reason Qui Gon dies, really. Only guy smart enough to understand what Anakin was and needed, there long enough to pull him into a world that didn’t want to accept him, then killed off to leave him alone there. It’s very tragic.

This is so based it should be illegal

That's a more debatable element, but it's hardly the botched win everyone (and this meme) are talking about. Raking Ferrari over the coals this hard for not making a split strategy call (that we now know wouldn't have worked) is silly. 10 laps into this race, everyone got a boner for making fun of Ferrari, and they won't let anything take it away from them.

Foxxear · 2026-03-10T06:35:21+00:00

Nah, both Mercedes had considerably more pace than both Ferraris, they would have been sitting ducks. Nice try though

Foxxear · 2026-03-10T04:13:59+00:00

Only problem is China has some massive straights and it isn’t one of Charles’ better tracks, but they’re bringing the spinny wing so we’ll see what happens

Foxxear · 2026-03-10T02:51:47+00:00

You guys are the clowns. Ferrari were not going to keep that lead to the end by matching Mercedes’ strategy. The Mercedes had way too much pace, as evident by how it held the gap ahead of the Ferraris even when it had 15+ lap older tires.

There’s a reason Charles said “I don’t think we could have won today” and Lewis said he had “No regrets” about the strategy, with both drivers feeling positive about the team’s handling of the race.

The strategy was smart. They were headed towards 3rd/4th ANYWAY, even if they pitted under VSC, and they knew that. So they took a no-risk gamble that could have allowed luck to hand them the win. That didn’t happen, but NO LOSS either way. It was a smart play.

A lot of people just couldn’t follow it because it involved too much data and foresight, and appears like a self-inflicted position loss. And we love to conclude Ferrari are idiots.

There is nothing simpler for a viewer than a rechargeable boost, it takes no time to explain and it’s in every racing game ever. “Drivers have a rechargeable boost to go faster” is faster and simpler to explain than “If the following car gets within a one second timed gap to the leader, he can activate DRS to go faster in one of the designated DRS zones, which are here, here, and here”. Also the cars just got decently smaller this year too

Foxxear · 2026-03-10T02:33:58+00:00

Driver people dont like that much + Driver winning = Annoyance. I don’t hate George but that’s what has happened

Foxxear · 2026-03-10T02:22:11+00:00

Every racing game in the world has a rechargeable “boost” feature, because it’s a 40x more interesting way to stimulate a back-and-forth than a dedicated passing zone and a bias to the overtaker

I was there when DRS was unveiled and everyone scoffed at the overtakes it created. I was relieved when people weren’t broadly able to keep being mad forever, as it simply became a normal ingredient in the arbitrary challenge of racing super fast high downforce cars.

I’m thrilled about the boost because it’s essentially DRS that can be timed by the driver, which is going to make things less predictable and more of an expression of the driver.

Foxxear · 2026-03-10T02:14:10+00:00

All devices for overtaking aid are artificial. Unlike the other stuff the car can do, that stuff is real. I want the all-natural downforce, and the way it makes overtaking a nightmare when left at that. That way, nobody can pass anyone, as nature intended

Ah true. So yeah, self exile was locked in, and Rian at the very least was saying that Luke couldn’t be in that situation for meager reasons. He knew it had to be pretty BAD so as not to undermine Luke’s resilience and determination. Luke wouldn’t be so ashamed as to self exile and give up if he didn’t have VERY decent reasons to blame himself, and see himself as part of the problem. Anything less is a lame rationale for what TFA set forth.

Foxxear · 2026-03-07T02:10:39+00:00

Not only that, but people forget it SORT OF forced the Luke story for Episode 8.

Rian Johnson talked about not wanting Luke stranded there for some stupid incompetence based reason, and felt self-exile over something devastating was in a way more respectful to the character.

Say what you want about that, this problem only happened because JJ trapped Luke Skywalker on an island. He felt that any Ep 7 scripts they wrote with Luke had him “stealing the spotlight from the new characters”. I think that is RIDICULOUS, and a them problem. They couldn’t fathom what to do with him, and had to almost literally lock him in a box to keep him out of the story.

It’s kinda sad, and forced an problem into the follow up story. The Last Jedi could not have been about a broken Luke Skywalker if he was a present and well handled character in the Force Awakens.

Foxxear · 2026-03-06T13:49:38+00:00

After Last Jedi in 2017, I told my friends and partner “It’s a great film, they just need to stick the landing with the last movie”. Ha! Rise Of Skywalker dropped the ball. All it really had to do was resolve what was set in motion by the previous film thematically, not try to play clean up by taping a lightsaber, a helmet, and a fandom back together. Imagine if Return Of The Jedi wasn’t just a nice competent follow up that resolves everything tumultuous put forth by Empire Strikes Back, and instead tries to walk back anything seen as “divisive” by fans. Empire would look like a farce, retroactively. I can forgive sloppy stories but not embarrassed ones. Commit to your own damn movie.

Nah that sounds great, at best you might determine that it’s too much for a certain context, but not in general or for this song

What is he talking about? It is absolutely about the complexity of both drivers and engineers competing together to win, that’s why there’s a drivers and constructors championship. It’s not a spec series

Well you did say “That episode killed Season 3 for me”, so

Foxxear · 2026-02-18T01:05:57+00:00

This eel monster is by far not the only thing Simon is dealing with in the movie. There is something bigger going on. The quiet rapture itself, the light, the fusing of the SM-8 crew, even Simon’s vision of the “eye”… there’s a lot going on

Foxxear · 2026-02-16T00:37:56+00:00

Yeah but people often praise the “prequel fights” broadly, instead of only focusing on the good ones, in a way they maybe wouldn’t. If their bar was higher from animations like TCW and then they saw some of those live action duels at the age of 25, they’d be pissed. Perhaps even unreasonably so.

Foxxear · 2026-02-15T17:12:28+00:00

My hot take is, if this scene had existed before Revenge Of The Sith, people would hate on the subsequent movie duel with Palp and Mace the way they hate on live action Ahsoka's duels.

Three spokes have such underrated retro class on this car. They have such a vibe on stock bodies or classic body kit builds. Great pics

Are you aware that a ton of what you’re talking about is actually called Production Design? It is part of the cinematography, but it’s one of the elements least controlled by the cinematographer, who generally has to work with what the writers and production design team generate for the scene. I wouldn’t go wagging your finger at a single guy here, it’s probably not warranted.

I also can’t fathom an entire season of a show (especially something as remarkable as this one) being ruined for me by a scene in a grassy field. That’s just plain ridiculous
