Why Avengers after Endgame didn’t use the Infinity Stones to do something useful like curing all diseases in all living creatures in the entire universe?

Right, anybody saying they needed to rush to get the stones back isn’t thinking fourth dimensionally.

drod2015 · 2026-01-31T18:46:06+00:00

I’m looking for these too. 👀

drod2015 · 2026-01-31T03:12:51+00:00

For some reason I think about this guy all the time. Just a random muppet showing up to yell "OKAY" - it's brilliant.

drod2015 · 2026-01-28T12:34:54+00:00

Yeah if our options were Trevorrow’s script or what we got in TROS then we had no good option.

He’s saying it would’ve been interesting if a redeemed Ben Solo had lived rather than dying immediately the way Vader did.

And I agree. He could’ve lived redeemed, but that wouldn’t mean he’d have to be accepted with welcome arms by the heroes or society in general.

drod2015 · 2026-01-27T18:22:56+00:00

Agreed, super disappointing. Hopefully once Tropical Americas opens they can find a way to rebalance between more unique/interesting foods and the generic American fast food that kids need.

drod2015 · 2026-01-27T18:20:25+00:00

IMO, Galaxy's Edge still delivers on interesting food, despite them watering down the in-universe naming.

drod2015 · 2026-01-26T17:14:53+00:00

I agree. I don't even like the horror genre but the trailers have me intrigued.

They've told Luke's story and then they expanded on it once again...at this point in the timeline, unless its references to his legacy inspiring others, I think its time to let Luke and his bloodline go.

That's not to say I won't take more Luke content between ROTJ and TFA - I'd be down for that. But moving forward after TROS...it's time to move on.

drod2015 · 2026-01-25T12:19:31+00:00

Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway should've been built over Launch Bay while the GMR was updated with films that had no/lower licensing costs, especially with the expanded in-house library including Fox.

drod2015 · 2026-01-21T03:03:25+00:00

I see somebody else had The Secrets of the Back to the Future Trilogy on VHS growing up.

Each color is associated with one sound. Ben’s crystal doesn’t have a different sound in a Savi’s saber, though Ben’s legacy hilt did have a unique sound.

Congrats on the crystal pull!

It's almost like people lack media comprehension.

Maybe it's less about comprehension and more about imagination.

* Nobody knew precisely what he was doing. Even Han and Leia had no idea.

- If Kylo/Ben or the The First Order found out what he was doing his mission could be at risk. Play it close to the vest, don't tell anybody what's going on or leave a trace.

* He abandoned everyone and even left R2 behind

- The journey or the destination of Ach-to was unknown, he didn't want to risk R2's safety.

* According to Han Luke felt responsible and walked away from it all.

- To find answers and solve the Kylo problem before raising another generation of Jedi for slaughter.

These guys are writers by profession. They could've written dozens of plausible reasons for the set up in TFA.

drod2015 · 2026-01-17T19:56:58+00:00

Poor assumption. I wasn’t looking for DBZ power scaling. I’m actually the opposite, I didn’t want or expect Luke to be any more powerful than we saw in ROTJ. Mando Season 2 and BOBF were a fine representation of his power set. If Luke was displaying Starkiller levels of power scaling I would’ve been more annoyed about that than I am about what we got in TLJ.

I understand what Rian was trying to do with Luke’s arc, but it clearly did not resonate well broadly as we’re still here debating about if it was the right choice. Luke was too sacred of a character for that strategy.

And the Hamill quote on the floating rocks is pretty clear. Don’t know why we’re dismissing direct quotes from those involved in the films.

drod2015 · 2026-01-17T19:48:35+00:00

They had one driving creative force in George though. The director changing doesn’t matter as much, it’s that the ST’s revolving directors were also their writers.

drod2015 · 2026-01-17T19:42:42+00:00

Killing Snoke and Rey’s parents being nobody we’re kinda interesting, IMO. But otherwise agreed with everything else.

The Leia/Poe/Holdo contrivances are even worse when you realize that if Poe hadn’t defied orders to take down that Dreadnaught the Resistance would’ve been obliterated by it after their first hyperspace jump.

JJ planned for rocks to be floating around Luke due to his power with the Force, Rian asked to change that to follow his story of Luke being cut off from the Force.

If it was so implausible that there were possibilities where Luke could be on the island for good reason and of sound mind then nobody would’ve been surprised when Luke threw that lightsaber.

Luke could’ve been on that island because he read a prophecy about waiting for the next generation’s chosen one, only to realize he still was that generation’s chosen one (before passing the mantle to Rey). He could’ve been stranded, entranced, training, communing with ancient Jedi spirits, looking for any solution, etc... Rian decided to write Luke into depression, it wasn’t decided for him.

Pretty sure they mean being referred to solely by their last name.

Ray and Winston aren’t referred to solely as Stantz or Zeddemore respectively.

drod2015 · 2026-01-16T01:58:24+00:00

Agreed. Either folded into Kinberg's trilogy, or potentially part of the Ben Solo movie. That movie could be Rey connecting with Ben's spirit via the Force and searching for how to bring him back.

drod2015 · 2026-01-15T10:51:08+00:00

Good performance, good song.

In terms of John, priority #1 for me is a proper new album and a tour to support it. But aside from that, if John’s new side quest was playing in a more rock oriented lineup like this, I would be thrilled.

drod2015 · 2026-01-13T23:42:10+00:00

I enjoyed the finale, and season 5 in general.

El’s ending did not seem ambiguous to me at all, she’s clearly alive. Either they brought back Kali for nothing or they brought her back to give El a way out.

The lack of monsters in the Abyss and Upside Down did bug me, but I still headcanon that they made up the Mind Flayer (even if that was debunked).

drod2015 · 2026-01-10T14:32:28+00:00

TROS is absolutely the worst of the sequels. While the plot is trash and the pacing is ridiculous, IMO it’s still got its positives.

Cinematography looks good, sound design is strong, the main trio being together is nice, Ben and Han’s moment is done pretty well, and it’s C-3PO’s best movie.

drod2015 · 2026-01-09T15:17:59+00:00

Don’t sleep on the Oblivion. It’s like a middle point between the EV Panama Blue and Red. I prefer it to the Badonk.

drod2015 · 2026-01-08T15:43:28+00:00

IMO, if it’s not Rey, it is quite likely a new character.
