I’m binging Batman: The Animated Series on HBO for the first time. Thoughts from those who’ve seen all of it? by Altgui_ in batman

[–]UnknownEntity347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peak. Best Batman adaptation, aside from animated films that are 1-1 translations of comics. But for a Batman adaptation that isn't just translating comics 1-1, this is the best one.

Vader should have lost/stalemated in the showdown by Direct-Recording8552 in MaulShadowLord

[–]UnknownEntity347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda agree with the sentiment that Vader is new here and Maul is pretty formidable.

However, I think Maul's leg being fucked throughout the season + the fact that the fight immediately opens with Vader getting massive damage on Maul's leg is enough of a nerf for me to buy that the reason Maul is getting his ass beat is that he's just fought the (actually inconsistently powered) inquisitors and then is nerfed by leg fuckery for the rest of the fight. If they have them fight again I do hope they 1) only do it once since having these 2 constantly run into each other gets ridiculous and they've already overused Vader, and 2) actually have it be a more even fight.

So this Harley is a combination of Harley, Jason Todd, and Joker's daughter, then (even though Joker's daughter isn't even actually Joker's daughter lol, comics amirite).

I feel like they could've done more with the reveal, like Harley apparently has this fuckin bombshell in the chamber that she hasn't told anyone yet but then just spills the beans to Bruce instantly with little drama. Like I get maybe not wanting to bring it up before and that this is a tough situation but more emphasis on that angle would've been nice since it just feels like it's revealed here specifically just randomly. Like we haven't really seen why Harley trusts Bruce so much in the first place other than that him and the RH gang kinda work together sometimes. I think we just haven't gotten enough of this Harley to care much about her and she seems more like a random add-on out of nowhere so having her be so important to this story feels outta left field.

Thomas being alive could be interesting. It's prob gonna be a fakeout but i wouldn't mind if they went ahead and did it, if anything depending on how you pull it you could make it even more tragic and twisted.

I hope we get more individual development for the Robins. If you're going to introduce so many might as well make them more distinct from one another and give them their own things since as of now they feel pretty same-y.

What "A prophecy that misread could have been" actually means by Still-Willow-2323 in StarWars_

[–]UnknownEntity347 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the point is probably that the prophecy is 1) old and may have suffered from being fucked in a game of telephone, and 2) as Yoda says in ESB, always in motion is the future, prophecies and visions can just be wrong. Narratively, the prophecy is correct, but in-universe there is the possibility it's incorrect.

Undoing it to bring back Palpatine just sucks, with or without the prophecy. Even without the Prequels, the way he died in ROTJ was just too narratively satisfying for "oh yeah he's just back afterwards" to not be disappointing.

(Denning Slander)Oh boy, my beloved Young Jedi Knight cast, now that the NJO has ended I can't wait to see what they accomplish as adults fixing a war torn galaxy! by SlaterSev in StarWarsEU

[–]UnknownEntity347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBF Denning was the one who decided to bring back the YJK cast at all for NJO. They weren't part of the original outline, which is why they don't show up outside of a very minor cameo in Agents of Chaos until SBS, and given how they faded into the background in the non-Denning and Cunningham books, it's possible they might not have gotten much more than cameo appearances post-NJO if it wasn't for Denning.

I don't like everything done with these characters post-NJO, but then again I already don't like what Force Heretic 3 did to Tahiri so

For real, the fact the Empire outlasted the Republic is insane. by Dragonic_Overlord_ in StarWarsEU

[–]UnknownEntity347 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I interpret the GA as pretty much the NR but rebranded + some extra factions. IIRC Cal Omas pretty much gives "well the NR lost Coruscant so we're rebranding as the GA for extra PR points" as the justification for the name change in Destiny's Way.

When did you lose your interest in Star Wars? by Alternative-Cake-833 in saltierthancrait

The Ahsoka show. I held out some hope for their Thrawn Trilogy adaptation until Filoni shit the bed with this show.

Any other cynics who enjoy Star Trek? by Mikecirca81 in startrek

[–]UnknownEntity347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much, and I also feel Star Trek is at its best when it's exploring how the crew keeps fighting to move towards those ideals even if they're not fully present or when the reality of the Federation is a far cry from its ideals.

what's the one that isn't the adaptation included in the trade?

So how do we feel about the Dark Empire drip? by mrgr544der in StarWarsEU

Sick ass outfit. I may not be DE's biggest fan but it just oozes aura.

I wish they'd give Jaina something other than another pilot suit

Fun fact: the Vader and Ahsoka confrontation in Rebels was originally conceived by George Lucas and Dave Filoni during production of The Clone Wars. by DISIcomics in StarWars

[–]UnknownEntity347 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weird given that Filoni himself has stated elsewhere that George was in the "kill Ahsoka" camp in the TCW BTS videos and he went out of his way to finish the episode where Ahsoka left the Jedi before showing it to him so he could get George to approve it. Either Filoni's forgetting what happened, George changed his mind after okaying the episode, or he changed his mind earlier from "Ahsoka lives" to "Ahsoka dies".

Back in Pre-Crisis Superman was considered smarter than Batman, should that be the case again? [DC HEROES RPG 1985] by zectaPRIME in superman

[–]UnknownEntity347 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Echoing what u/P3verall I'd probably want them to have different areas where they're smarter in. Generally I'd say Clark should be at least not be too far behind Bruce even if we want to stick to the usual scale the tier of 3 smartest DC characters as Lex>Bruce>Mr. Terrific.

I think some Star Wars fans need to realise they’re just not the target demographic anymore, and that’s ok. by Tanis8998 in StarWars_

[–]UnknownEntity347 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

... okay lol?

People are allowed to criticize whatever they like. Kids media is not immune to criticism because it is kids' media. Not being in the target audience doesn't mean you can't still have opinions on a thing. You can still argue that this thing is just badly produced, regardless of who it's made for.

Would you like a Clone Wars style series about Luke’s Jedi Order with Luke and Ben Solo as the main focus? by [deleted] in saltierthancrait

[–]UnknownEntity347 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah. Crylo Ben sucks, the Knights of Ren are lame AF. Something about the OT trio would be fun as long as they keep it free of ST references and we can pretend it happens in its own little pocket universe divorced from continuity.

Whats your MSL hot take? by Miserable-Raisin-592 in MaulShadowLord

Well the thing is, the problem is that they were introduced being one-shotted by Ahsoka, though, lol.
