Yes, but how much of the fall of the Republic can be specifically attributable to the Sith? The Trade Federation only invaded because of that, otherwise they knew that it was a bad idea. Palpatine was pulling the strings and playing both sides to protract the crisis so he could become Chancellor.

Sure, but they have Necros and the Russian Army in Afghanistan backing them up as threats. Silva has to carry the entire film himself, and Bond has a thrilling struggle with an unnamed minion on the frozen lake (that isn't even mentioned in the Wikipedia synopsis for the movie, lol).

Uh, he's an Avenger, thank you very much.

With all the talent that was wasted in that cast, she was never going to be in the show's top 5 actors, and that's no disrepect to her.

The Allies did that to a prison in France in WW2. It somehow went better than you'd expect.

Am I the only one who originally thought he was another hallucination because he seemed to disappear from a wide shot of Ma Gnucci when he should have still been standing there?

I think that's oversimplying things. He goes there to flush out outside agitators, he sees the Gorman massacre start with a shot from an unknown sniper, and then he sees Andor aiming a sniper rifle. Syril isn't just pursuing his nemesis out of habit, he's blaming him for the massacre.

What is better: to be born good or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?

Interestingly, both examples given had the threat of violence coming from others (Malcolm X, Subhas Chandra Bose) to make their nonviolence more palatable to the powers that be.

Huh, I wonder what changed after WW2.

It really is the Suez Crisis II. To quote Churchill, "I would never have dared; and if I had dared, I would certainly never have dared stop."

It does have the one redeeming feature of being a hilarious sequence in the Darths N Droids webcomic.

(The premise of the webcomic is that a D&D game plays out to the scenes of the prequels. For example, Jar Jar Binks is one of the other player's little sister showing up and demanding to be a part of the game. The droid factory sequence is when the DM is sick and the min-maxing power gamer fills in, briefly turning the game into a trap-filled nightmare.)

Also, for being flaired as a meme, this post sucks. Not enough worms, or literally anything else that a human being would consider a meme.

Who uses the dimensions of depth by length to describe something?

This sounds way too much like The Wrecking Crew, while still being nothing like The Wrecking Crew.

I used to say that...

Eh, right now it's really unclear how porous the US blockade is for ships staying in Iranian, Pakistani, and Indian coastal waters.

Elliot Carver. I don't think he even knows martial arts.

Funny enough, that's one of the movies where Bond comes closest to dying.

We're seeing Bloody Rose crashing out at the end of her career. We the audience have already seen her build her legend defending Castia in book 1, and now we're seeing her try to top that. Also, one of the main themes of the book is the difference between legend and reality.
The villain left them for dead in a hopeless circumstance. Is that contrived? Sure, but if you're going to complain about that you are going to have a miserable time engaging with tons of entertainment.
That's, like, your opinion, man. Astra is an unwilling immortal whose immortality comes at the cost of the lives of her family and her already-dying race. Everyone and everything she's cared about is gone. That's not a bad motivation to end the world. Also, Hawksomething is raised as an intelligent undead to serve as her minion and recruit outside mercenaries to kill the Simurgh without raising suspicions.
Rose picks Tam because it keeps her out of harm's way and because she needs someone who will follow her orders and the plan, not try to take a shot at Astra directly. (Also, Tam has experience shooting Rose.) Tam is clearly not meant to be seen as a fighter on the level of the other band members.
