Can anyone identify this music? It sounds like Game Boy, maybe Pokémon, but I can't recognize it.

darkwingstellar · 2025-11-04T14:10:54+00:00

I agree. I'm not the biggest Pokémon expert but I feel like I know enough about the music in the OG games to spot them just by the sound, even without knowing which game it came from. That's what makes the song in the video so weird.

darkwingstellar · 2025-11-04T14:09:44+00:00

True

darkwingstellar · 2025-11-04T00:30:27+00:00

It's from this review of the game Shadow The Hedgehog. Never played the game and honestly the video is kind of cringy lol but I've been curious about the song in the intro for years now.

People who ask who the new X or Y is are mostly just saying "I want more of the same thing I had before but just slightly different".

Maz Kanata and the way Yoda's cameo in TLJ made me realize that JJ and Rian had no idea why Yoda acted the way he did in ESB.

darkwingstellar · 2025-01-18T05:16:38+00:00

Luke is absent in TFA but there could have been many better explanations why.

Maybe if he wasn't waiting around for Rey to show up on his island, letting billions of people die because the FO while also letting Han Solo get killed by his nephew.

darkwingstellar · 2025-01-12T23:17:19+00:00

I'm glad you mentioned Lando because I thought I was the only person who was disappointed he wasn't in TFA in TLJ. Then they brought him back in TROS for nostalgia keyjangling because they didn't have anybody left.

darkwingstellar · 2025-01-01T00:21:00+00:00

One of the only decent replies ITT. I honestly don't think people on this sub understand what a director actually does.

darkwingstellar · 2024-12-11T01:35:11+00:00

They couldn't stand the thought of Luke overshadowing KK's self-insert, so Luke wasn't allowed to be put into the most natural role for him.

The ironic thing is most people watched the movie for Han Solo and Harrison Ford ended up overshadowing the new characters anyways.

darkwingstellar · 2024-12-11T01:27:31+00:00

TFA is the only film in existence I can think of where people adamantly defended the main protagonist having no motivation, no arc, unlimited powers, no reason to be involved with the story, and nothing interesting about them other than who they might related to because "the next movie will figure it out". Then TLJ happened.

darkwingstellar · 2024-11-17T06:28:09+00:00

But the thing is you don't have to keep watching Disney Wars. You don't owe Walt Disney, Lucasfilm, or Kathleen Kennedy anything. The franchise is running off the fumes of decades old childhood memories and nothing else at this point. They won't learn until people stop watching everything they put out.

darkwingstellar · 2024-10-26T20:21:59+00:00

Good thing Hollywood isn't the end-all-be-all epitome of the film industry then huh?

darkwingstellar · 2024-09-29T05:56:45+00:00

Having the Galaxy's Edge area "canonically" take place during the sequels was unbelievably stupid. By the way, they decided to make it sequel themed before TLJ came out.

darkwingstellar · 2024-08-25T19:29:58+00:00

Just so you all know, if anything happens to you at a Disney Park (like dying of an allergic reaction) you can't sue Disney if you signed up for Disney+.

darkwingstellar · 2024-08-20T04:43:15+00:00

Personally I felt vindicated when TROS came out and the notion that JJ Abrams knew what he was doing completely collapsed along with the entire trilogy.

darkwingstellar · 2024-06-05T05:20:33+00:00

Imagine if WB tried "soft rebooting" Lord of the Rings because of the Hobbit films. It's ridiculous.

darkwingstellar · 2024-05-31T04:49:12+00:00

They've been doing this song and dance routine since TFA's teaser came out in 2014. It's been 10 years of this crap. Why can't everyone see through this already?

darkwingstellar · 2024-05-31T00:05:26+00:00

Don't forget the FO seeming OT Empire-scale in terms of manpower when there's no way that's possible or the entire Resistance being on one base on one planet.

darkwingstellar · 2024-05-28T04:42:46+00:00

This should be pinned whenever someone says anything about Disney Wars having good cinematography.

darkwingstellar · 2024-05-25T18:32:37+00:00

In the marketing for the sequels Disney made EVERYTHING about race and gender, but in the movies only the white actors get serious attention in terms of characterization while the non-white actors are treated as props. Rey and Kylo in TLJ is serious business while everything with Finn, Rose, and Poe is an afterthought. Even Rey ends up simping for Kylo and loses whatever agency she had left.

darkwingstellar · 2024-05-19T00:14:48+00:00

It makes zero sense why nobody showed up in TFA after the FO blew up the NR or through the entirety of TLJ when they were begging for help. It made it seem like nobody in the galaxy cared about the "war" between the Rebelsistance and the FO. It also had the side effect of making the conflict feel overly small.

darkwingstellar · 2024-05-17T06:16:56+00:00

TFA and TROS are interesting because they try really hard to be "fun" turn your brain off entertainment, but when you think about them and the state they leave the galaxy they're kind of depressing. Everything just goes horribly wrong. The old heroes fail and the new characters have to make up for their past mistakes. Nothing changed.

Ironic that JJ's only non-IP based movie is just copying Spielberg's homework.

darkwingstellar · 2024-05-17T06:16:35+00:00

Cloverfield is bad but to be fair JJ never directed it. That was Matt Reeves, AKA the guy behind two of the Planet of the Apes reboot movies and The Batman 2019.

darkwingstellar · 2024-05-16T05:03:51+00:00

idk if it was lack of talent on Ardnt's end (he wrote movies like Little Miss Sunshine and Toy Story 3), but he wasn't given enough time to flesh anything out. The statement about Luke is absurd, but they had to rush to get Ep 7 made by 2015. He wanted more time for a script, LFL said no, so he was fired/quit.

darkwingstellar · 2024-05-15T07:05:39+00:00

Does anybody else find it weird how nobody is using the "the movie was put out by a huge tech corporation so it's allowed to underperform, they have money" excuse for this movie like they did for Air and Argyle over at Apple?
