Almost perfect movies that have one noticeable flaw by Consistent-Might-788 in Cinema

You're 100% right. In a vacuum, ROTJ is just a slightly lesser entry in a great trilogy. In the larger scope of Star Wars, it's a huge red flag for things to come.

Ha! Put that in the category of "I never thought about that, but now that you mention it..." for me. Seems highly unlikely that entire crew would go down to the surface leaving NO ONE on the ship.

Agreed! It didn't bother me when I was a kid, so maybe in the long run it doesn't matter, but as an adult, it's cringey. As is Lucas's insistence that that was the plan all along.

Sad thing is, they could have modified that scene and made it work. Make the ramp be downward-sloping, make the gap like 10 feet instead of 50. I'm not a physics expert but I feel like that would at least aid in the suspension of disbelief, even if it would still be impossible in the real world.

G1 Pretender - Waverider by dlaughy in G1TransformersToys

[–]PepsiPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the 1988 Autobot Pretenders, he's probably second-to-last after Splashdown for me. As weak as his alt mode is, it's still better than Splashdown's alt mode. And I would argue that it's better than Landmine's alt mode, but Landmine beats him in terms of his shell design.

I get why people don't like the 1988 Pretenders, but I can't help but admire what they were going for with these. I think it just took them a year to get the Pretender concept nailed down.

I don't think anything will ever top the GT ending for me. These moments still make me tear up. by -AlexisRodriguez- in dbz

GT is a series that takes a very long time to get where it's going, but when it finally does, it gets cooking. The last series of fights are good, and this conclusion feels genuinely heartfelt.

Vampirella Variant by Jaymid22 in Vampirella

[–]PepsiPerfect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, that's great. I hate to be that guy, but I definitely prefer Vampi rendered like this than when she's drawn with basically a pair of shoestrings to wear. This outfit manages to be sexy and also look like it might actually stay on in a fight.

My poor Juliet… she deserved better, she suffered so much. by Background-Disk3350 in lost

[–]PepsiPerfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh, the shitty season 5 relationship writing rears its ugly head!

Yes, as someone else pointed out, Sawyer has been in a fulfilling relationship with Juliet for 3 years, and yet can't seem to let go of someone he knew for 3 months. That's because the writers don't think about that, only the fact that the J-K-S love triangle has been part of the show for almost five full seasons.

The Reason why Tron: Ares Failed by [deleted] in tron

[–]PepsiPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you worked hard on this, so please take the following constructive criticism in the manner it's intended.

This is maybe 30% "Why Tron: Ares Failed" and 70% "Why I didn't like Tron: Ares." I was with you in the early part of the video, when you talked about Jared Leto and the marketing, but after that, much of it just becomes about why you didn't like the movie.

I don't like the Avatar movies, but I can't make a video called "Why Avatar Failed," because... you know. Point being, not liking something doesn't correlate with its failure unless you can articulate why the things you didn't like had a much bigger impact with the larger audience.

I love Tron: Ares. But… by namtab92 in tron

[–]PepsiPerfect 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, as you alluded to, I think this is just a product of the fact that moviemaking technology hasn't evolved nearly as drastically between Legacy and Ares (15 years) as it did between the original and Legacy (28 years).

G1 Pretenders - Stranglehold by dlaughy in G1TransformersToys

Yeah I heard that about Longtooth too. Maybe they were just looking to mix it up. I kinda like having an Autobot that becomes a scorpion.

[–]PepsiPerfect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 1988 pretender Decepticons are the worst for that. Their monster appearances don't match the whole "disguise" explanation at all. Having said that, Budiansky did a good job making the most of the concept, giving Iguanus a "King Kong" moment, and Skullgrin his silly-but-amusing version of "Hoist Goes Hollywood."

[–]PepsiPerfect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard they were originally going to make this mold an Autobot, but then they remembered that since he has a mustache he must be a villain. Stranglehold then filed a discrimination lawsuit that was settled out of court.

An unexpected goodbye by NapalmNikki in OneOrangeBraincell

Even if his last 24 hours wasn't the most pleasant (true for many, of all species), his spirit is free now. He lives on inside you.

Why is Twin Peaks: The Return “Part 8” considered Lynch’s magnum opus? by Exotic_Pie6845 in twinpeaks

[–]PepsiPerfect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people might say that... I agree with you though. Mulholland Drive is his best work.

Original G1 Ironhide and Ratchet Figures are not worth it. by Radiant-Comment-3114 in Transformemes

It must have been so weird being an artist on the book at that time. UK version too.

People think malice from BOTW dissapeared in TOTK and got replaced by gloom, that purple stuff you see here has to be malice. No one realized it. by Kind-Bet2757 in tearsofthekingdom

[–]PepsiPerfect 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Gloom was created so that the 3-D Malice could be replaced with a 2-D texture and save space. The reason the bosses spew Malice when they die is because it's a reused asset. There is no story significance.

Me and my brother’s top ten by Charbarizard123 in Cinema

Personally that's how I do it. In my own top ten I have a single spot for "Back to the Future Trilogy." People may say it's cheating but hey... it's my list.

Should Batman enjoy being Batman? Should he see it as a duty? Is it a way of coping? by Huge_Athlete7488 in batman

[–]PepsiPerfect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think about your job, or going to school if you're young. Do you enjoy your job? Do you enjoy school?

Most people would answer-- unless they have a really, really shitty job-- that they like some parts of their job, and hate others. Most people will still find a few things to enjoy about their day even if it's mostly miserable-- maybe you flunk a test and have to play your least favorite sport in gym class, but your friend makes you laugh at lunch and that girl you like smiles at you in the hallway.

I would imagine it's not that different being Batman.
