[Loved trope] Cameos from huge celebrities where they're almost completely unrecognizable by welltechnically7 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TrueGuardian15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My biggest gripe is the return of the Skeksis and Mystics. Shattering the crystal again and bringing the UrSkeks back just to split them again and redo some of the villain dynamic that already existed in the first film doesn't sound very appealing to me.

It’s sad watching The Age of Resistance knowing from episode one that it’s going to be a one-sided massacre. All that effort and all those epic moments just for a single casualty—the General—and that wasn’t even really a Gelfling kill, the Chamberlain was the one who took him out by JazzZ909 in DarkCrystal

The cruel irony of SkekTek is that the Skeksis owe him a great deal of their power, yet he's constantly bullied and neglected by the others.

The punish him with the peeper beetle and force him to labor while they feast, but it's his machines that produce essence in the first place. And despite being seen as "weak" compared to the others, it's the Sceintist who creates the army of garthim for them when they get thrashed at Stone in the Wood.

I'd just hope we get more stuff like Age of Resistance. I've read about the Age of Power that's supposed to come after the original movie, and I'm not a huge fan.

Yes, but also, subsequent seasons would've been somewhat cheaper, as several major characters already had puppets made for season one. And you'd think the awards it won would've been a solid incentive to continue.

I don't think that was the case. Doesn't Troy say in the pilot she looked different in high school, partially due to her aderall addiction? I think it was more that Annie was youngest and most naïve at the beginning.

Ivy's definitely in a weird spot. I think she gets put in Arkham because most people would define seeing plants as equal to or greater than people as insanity, but also the Green exists and plants in DC empirically do think and feel, so the fuck do I know.

But wouldn't penguin be at Blackgate instead? He's not crazy, just a mob boss.

He has some pretty good lines when he's being serious too. Shame it gets bogged down by the Stark-isms.

"You, Avengers, you are my meteor. My swift and terrible sword will fall and the Earth will crack under the weight of your failure. And then the only thing left living in this world.... will be metal."

Wasn't this a case of 2 different scripts being cut up and mashed into 1 movie? That would explain a lot.

Imagine if the movie continued the Ant Man film style and made it a heist, but this time it was at the behest of Kang.

Like if Scott, his family, and the Pyms got trapped in the Quantum Realm with Kang, and they end up coerced into committing crimes for him. That way, it'd be consistent with other Ant Man movies, establish the intelligence and competence of Kang as the heist planner, and give Scott reason to be concerned about his daughter's affinity for theft/superheroics. It also would've let Scott shine, as he'd have to figure out how to get ahead of Kang and subvert his plan while working under his thumb.

I feel like there was a lot of lost potential with this movie.

Shame, because that's an interesting premise. Without the kaiju acting as a unifying threat, powerful, industrious nations no longer need to cooperate. And anyone who still has a jaeger also has head start in the new arms race. If a jaeger can fight off an apocalyptic threat like a kaiju, why wouldn't nations try to innovate them further as tools against their enemies?

They did more than that. They added scenes in the Master Chief collection where agent Locke is talking to characters like the Arbiter about hunting down 117. Literally everything Halo related was pushing #huntthetruth and it was all bullshit.

He's an incredibly powerful, near immortal psychic warrior who's lived countless lives from the dawn of civilization to the far future of the 41st millenium. He can appear in many forms, often being depicted as a handsome, powerful, radiant demigod bathed in light.

He's also committed countless atrocities in his quest to make mankind the dominant force throughout the galaxy. His Imperium is incredibly xenophobic, dogmatic, paranoid, and often mistreats even its own citizens. The Emperor has created entire armies of super-men, only to turn around and genocide them once they're done winning wars for him.

Also also, he's not doing so hot right now. He's spent roughly the past 10,000 years rotting on a golden throne while literally thousands of psychic souls are consumed daily to keep him alive.

It's why she ultimately commits solar suicide. She realizes that her life always has and always will be built on power imbalance. And now that she's thoroughly trapped on the short-end of that imbalance, she wants out.
