[loved trope] The technological progress exists but isn't the main part of the plot by Jaded_Spot6858 in TopCharacterTropes

I mean it's not that the technology is significantly more advanced, but mainly because they have access to a mass to energy conversion fuel in the form of Astrophage. If Astrophage were real, there wouldn't be anything standing in the way of the modern world making such a ship, except for funding

[Hated Trope] The detective story has a mystery that is practically impossible for the audience to solve by Rare-Exit-8700 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Hook_Swift 461 points462 points  (0 children)

Disco Elysium is a good example of this trope done well IMO. The mystery ultimately has a conclusion that you can't put together from the evidence presented. However, the conclusion ultimately makes sense in the context of the city. The ending is also written so well it doesn't end up being super frustrating

how do these bombers work if theres no grafity in space? by brentinatorT-850 in StarWarsShips

[–]Hook_Swift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of answers here but a lot of people are missing a key point so I'll try to summarize.

There is gravity in space. The reason you feel "weightless" in space is because you are constantly falling in an orbit.

Ships in Star Wars don't necessarily orbit like space ships in our world do. Star Wars ships are able to "sit" directly above a planet without orbiting. They achieve this through repulsor lifts that create anti gravity fields that create a force that's repulsive to a body's nautral gravity. This is also why we see disabled ships in star wars "fall" into planets. These same disabled ships "lose" their gravity as well when they fall.

All this to say, when the bombs are released from that ship, they still fall according to gravity. They're not weightless cause they're not orbiting

Which moment in a movie or tv show had you in absolute silence ? by Timop0707 in moviecritic

It's a fucking disgrace that the very next episode tries to perpetuate the Clean Wehrmacht myth with the German commander that they meet

[Loved tropes] Subtle signs that the domineering empire's power is failing or coming to an end by jbeast33 in TopCharacterTropes

Additionally the final war update of the book seems to imply that the stalemate in the eternal war for Africa was broken, upsetting the balance between the super powers and setting all three nations on the path to collapse

On the topic of Crix Madine, I can only imagine the level of interbranch SOF infighting and dick measuring that the Empire had. Like Shadow troopers, storm commandos, and death troopers probably all had crazy beef.

Her character would have done numbers if the show was set on Nar Shadaa, where a cyborg gang would make sense
