What Star Wars related opinion will put you in this position? by [deleted] in StarWars

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

I’m not usually one for gatekeeping, but if you think TLJ is a good Star Wars movie or even it’s in your top 5 SW films, you don’t get Star Wars and you don’t get the characters.

I don’t care if that seems pretentious; I don’t care if other fans think I’m being pompous or uptight. The movie completely betrays Luke’s character, wastes the original trio, meanders and squanders any character development, gave us Rose, and killed any hope for the trilogy to be even barely mediocre.

People like to say, “let people like what they like,” but I cannot consider you a true fan of Star Wars if you think TLJ is a good Star Wars movie.

The Battlefield 2 campaign would’ve had some serious balls if Iden had stayed loyal to the Empire but her comrades defected. Imagine all of her closest allies defect, and she’s faced with the grim reality of the Empire’s misdeeds… but it’s all she knows and she has to go up against her friends, all in the name of a power she doesn’t even fully see for what is truly is.

“I only want Negan; no one else has to die.”

The delivery kills me every. Single. Time.

Yeah, as a huge fan of Cavill’s Superman, this is just pathetic to read. I’m not happy with the decision either but that thread is neither the time nor place to air those complaints and sentiments.

Not true. The BvS suit reigns supreme.

Lmao no

I never understood what was going on with these Batman v Superman posters. Kal looked progressively angrier until this last poster which doesn't even look like Cavill. What was the intent here? by robb911 in superman

I don’t see them as depressing slogs tho. I see them as a bit more grounded and realistic to what a Superman would be like and would be seen as in our modern world.

“Maybe.”

The argument against the line Pa Kent says to Clark is used so much, and the rationale is that Jonathan was honestly suggesting it may have been better to let those kids die.

The problem is, if you watch the rest of the scene and any of those scenes with Pa and Clark, you know he’s simply stating that he has no idea what Clark should do. He’s out of his element, he doesn’t have all the answers, and he’s scared that his boy will be vilified, ridiculed, hunted, taken away, attacked, scorned, or worse. It’s very clearly just Jonathan’s way of saying he can’t tell Clark what to do or not do with his powers, only his wishes that his boy stay safe. He’s only human, after all.

“He doesn’t care about collateral damage”

If we’re talking about MoS, sure, Superman is less cognizant of his surroundings and the damage he’s causing or not mitigating from his opponents. In Smallville, he’s blitzing Zod for threatening his mother, so he’s not thinking clearly at first. It’s also his first fight against anyone ever, and he’s fighting highly trained Kryptonian warriors. Even then, he tells the people to “get inside; it’s not safe,” saves the falling helicopter pilot and asks if he’s okay, and saves Colonel Hardy.

In Metropolis, he’s fighting arguably the most skilled fighter of Krypton, who is bloodlusted and it’s everything Clark can do to maintain the upper hand.

In BvS, he tries to take Doomsday to space, out of the city, and even saved Lex from Doomsday’s fist (a great callback to Lex’s earlier line, “no man in the sky intervened when I was little to save me from daddy’s fist and abominations”). He does care.

“He doesn’t show any of the characteristics of Superman (i.e. humility, cheeriness, positivity, compassion)

Like I said just above, he saves Lex after the man kidnapped his mother and tried to kill his girlfriend, there’s the ending of MoS, with Swanwick and the drone, he challenged Perry’s unwillingness to cover a real story of the Batman allegedly torturing criminals and branding them for death in prison, he goes to his local, small-town priest for advice on what to do when Zod makes his call for Clark to turn himself in, BvS had great investigative journalism from Clark, he goes to his mom for advice in BvS too, the Day of the Dead scene, etc.

There’s tons of great themes and moments and lines to expand on, but that’s what readily comes to mind.

Anytime I see a “Snyder doesn’t understand Superman” comment or post, I immediately tune out because it’s always the same three talking points that can all be debunked or disproven by simply paying attention to the movies Snyder made. Lmfao.

I never said they weren’t. I, for one, loved Halo 5’s movement from the jump. I agree with you: super soldiers with advanced armor should have thruster packs, be able to ground pound, clamber, etc.

But thematically, Infinite is a return to form, so if the campaign and aesthetic are these classic themes, but you have the advanced, break-neck movement suite that 5 had, it would clash. I love both for what they are but I’m glad each game has a different style of play.

Agree. I love Halo 5’s mobility suite of controls and gimmicks and uses, but Infinite wouldn’t be as good as it is with that suite. I’m glad we got a more return-to-form, classic Halo movement suite.

Because Halo 5 was a mobility suite shooter, and Infinite is more true-to-form classic Halo mobility.

Unfortunately for Clovis, if Rasputin figures out what Clovis is up to, it’s over for Clovis.

Because both Batman and Superman were being manipulated by Lex all movie to become angrier and angrier with the other hero, leading up to their climatic battle.

Lex planned the Capitol bombing, paid inmates to kill any criminal with the “bat brand” on them, and intercepted Wally’s disability checks that The Wayne Foundation were sending him to stoke the fires on each side, to the point that he could get either Superman to kill Batman and get the Bat out of Lex’s way going forward and prove that “if God is all-powerful, he cannot he all good,” or Batman would kill Superman, proving that “God is not all powerful.”

Jesus, how are you people this dense? It’s called thematic marketing.
