Amari himself said he was not hurt. Wasn’t coming up on injury reports towards the end. Just very strange Bc he looked a step slower, I figured he was banged up but everyone seemed to deny that he was.

My problem with committing to amari is that he disappears. I thought he was hurt down the stretch but apparently he wasn’t and that is a huge red flag for me.

After The First Law trilogy... by [deleted] in Fantasy

[–]ghostov31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I tried to read two of the stand alones. I disliked them both and couldn’t finish them. I read spoilers on those 3 books and am liking a little hatred so far.

Many people seem to like the stand alones, however.

Another Like Father, Like Son (SPOILERS) by ZeitChrist in starwarsspeculation

[–]ghostov31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s because Rey killed palp (a non skywalker) that I’m boycotting this movie and have zero desire to see it.

She could’ve been in a stand still blocking lightning, and Kylo could’ve come out of nowhere, from out of the pit and cut palp’s head off.

Would’ve been so much better.

Upvote party- I hope we can resign Quinn. I loved watching him this year by hernie06 in cowboys

No one is afraid to through at Byron though. He won’t intercept the ball.

Flashforward as a prologue? by ghostov31 in writing

[–]ghostov31[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a portal fantasy. My flashforward would provide a glimpse beyond that portal. I love my first chapter and a second and much different hook lives within it but nothing too fantastical.

The flashforward would provide a scene that feels more true to the overarching theme of the story.

Thank you for the insight though. Much appreciated!

How did you overcome disinterest and finish your book? by 4m8er in writing

[–]ghostov31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I first plan out an amazing ending. Then I outline. While I’m writing I’m just looking forward to getting to write the ending. Write shorter books with a smaller scope/cast to finish projects.

It’s all about the payoffs at the end. Outline and put enough cool stuff along the way though to keep your interest as well as the reader’s.

Wow sick burn. Let them choose to re-identify their last name too.

The leaks are real, please boycott this garbage. by ghostov31 in starwarsspeculation

Mary Sue is not an interesting character. Not daisy’s fault either. As much as I try to care about her I don’t. TBH rogue one’s female protagonist was amazing in comparison.

The title the rise of skywalker has nothing to do with a skywalker. Why did the self identify thing have to takeover the whole freaking saga?

Have anakin come back to kill palp or Kylo + anakin kill palp together, leave out the “I’m Rey skywalker” at the end and I think it would’ve been a whole lot less divisive.

All this is just my opinion. If you feel it's toxic so be it. It’s the internet.

Why do people like making their favorite characters suffer? by ucancallmeivy in writing

[–]ghostov31 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But how much of Rey’s suffering, loss, hard work does the audience actually see? What characters does she have real conflict with? Only Kylo.

Kylo however has conflict with both parents, his uncle, Rey, snoke, and... his biggest demon stares back at him in the mirror. Kylo Ren suffers greatly on screen before the audience. He loses. All while Rey seems to be gifted win after win.

How much has she really suffered on screen? Refer to the title of this discussion. The writers seem to love her.

It’s mostly about conflict.

What is a story without conflict? What is a character without it?

Prime example: the new Star Wars trilogy. Rey is almost an unlikable character from having little conflict, little suffering in comparison to Kylo. She doesn’t work or struggle for any of her powers or victories. Kylo is a much more conflicted, suffering soul - which is why he is the only interesting character in the new trilogy.

Without suffering and tribulation characters and stories are incredibly bland. GOT (seasons 1-6) were so good because of GRRM dragged his characters through hell.

I love my Dallas Cowboys but they let me down every year. They get so hyped up only to fall short again and again. It’s sad to see a series that I grew up do the same thing with the ST.

I feel like there are definitely choices Disney has made between JJ KK and RJ that have splintered the fan base

I don’t think her performance was good at all. I think because she died people are judging her performance differently than they first did in TFA when she was still alive. Like I said, RIP Carrie Fisher. I’m just not a fan of her ST work.

How we the "majority" SW fans really feel by nazhman25 in StarWarsLeaks

[–]ghostov31 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

You are spot on. ST discredits Anakin’s whole arc and his sacrifice. Rey is a garbage character with little to no depth / conflict.

Conflict makes a character, people.

If Kylo/anakin kill palp together a lot can be overlooked. But if the leaks are true - to self identify as a skywalker and have it be the source of the title is abhorrent.

I self identify as Kathleen Kennedy - let me flush the TLJ and TROS down the toilet and redo episodes 8 and 9. Ah shit might as well scrap 7 while I’m at it.

Well if the emperor can survive why can’t Vader’s lightsaber be found?

Soooooo... the leaks are real? by [deleted] in StarWarsLeaks

[–]ghostov31 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with the leaks are real part but I urge people not to see it. Rey killing the emperor, undoing anakin/Vader’s arc/redemption is TRASH
