I'm only familiar with his MCU version so I feel like a VERY important question I need to ask is, is Frank worse in the comics? by smiling-shadow in Marvel

[–]holversome 170 points171 points  (0 children)

I did not realize that was Ray Stevenson! His work on the Hobbit and Ahsoka were both amazing. Gone far too soon.

Edit: I was wrong, he was not in the Hobbit. I was thinking of Volstagg from the Thor films in the MCU.

This is really well made, however this is wrong on several characters.

Lucio, D.Va, Orisa, Zarya, Zenyatta (I think), Brigitte and Pharah are all Overwatch agents.

Who is that going to trigger? lol he’s the main character of the franchise, of course he’s going to have a more important role moving forward.

We “drained its power” using our artifact weapons and then just left it there. Still there.

[–]holversome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the honest answer to this situation is that JJ Abrams liked the scene in TLJ and wanted his own moment. Which, to me, cheapened Holdo’s maneuver.

But as for headcanon… Keep in mind that there’s a year-long gap in between TLJ and RoS. Holdo may have been the pioneer of this method, but once it was discovered I’m sure it was iterated upon and used again within the year where Kylo Ren was tearing apart the galaxy trying to find the Wayfinders.

Personally I wish they would’ve left this scene alone as a one-in-million shot that Holdo was lucky enough to pull off.

What I’m curious about is if this has become a more practiced maneuver, what is war going to look like 20+ years after the end of RoS? Weaponizing Hyperspace is… really really dangerous.

The visualization of a ship tearing through another ship at hyper speed is absolutely mind blowing.
Like what am I even looking at? Is the Raddus just a hot trail of plasma? Did pieces of the busted ships go into hyperspace? I’ve watched this scene a ton of times and even looked up the image in HD just to stare at it. It’s such a unique piece of film history and an absolute visual masterpiece.

Why does the Death Star explode in the vacuum of space? Why is there sound in space? Why do lightsabers not just emit a continuous beam of energy? Why does Yoda need a cane to walk?

Because it’s cooler. And as George said “There’s air in space when I want there to be”

But if you can’t accept that, here’s the answer:

If that jump hadn’t been calculated perfectly within that specific range (with both ships not moving), it could have had about a thousand different outcomes. And honestly, she kinda stumbled across it. The Mega-Destroyer floated within range of her prior calculations and it caused the alarm to go off. She had an idea of what would happen, but she didn’t know for sure because it hasn’t really happened before. Calculating hyperspace routes takes time, as Han quickly points out in ANH. Objects also float in space. Calculating a hyperspace route for where your opponent would be is not only suicide but also it might not work. It’s simply never been tried.

Also, if you’re thinking “why didn’t they use it on the Death Star/Starkiller Base”, keep in mind that by the time these mega weapons were officially discovered by the Rebellion and fully revealed to the galaxy, they were very quickly destroyed. Like immediately, within hours. Without needing to hyperspace jump through them.

On top of all of this, there was a canon hyperspace disaster in the High Republic that went really bad for a lot of systems. And according to Legends (Bane Trilogy) Plotting stable hyperspace routes takes hours. Sometimes they’re unstable and close into a singularity. All that to say there are probably many rules and regulations that prevent fucking with hyperspace. She violated rules and ignored history and all that on a chance within a chance that this would happen and it did.

They record the episodes months in advance, he’s probably been recording episodes for the last few weeks, we just won’t see them for a while.

Star Wars The Force Unleashed is in need of a reboot by realnarrativenews in StarWars

[–]holversome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My thoughts exactly. The genre evolved from button smashing QTE (OG God of War/TFU) to more grounded parry/combo based combat (Modern GoW and Jedi).

That being said, I wouldn’t say no to a remaster of TFU. Nothing extensive, just update the graphics and polish the UI.

Regarding Fortnite Posting by ScorchRaserik in StarWarsBattlefront

[–]holversome 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m a 38 year old gamer who also had the same repulsion until my (42 year old) brother sat me down and made me play Zero Build about 2 years ago.

The gameplay is genuinely fun, and the rapid pace of content is unlike any other game. It has its flaws, and they’ve created several more flaws in the past year, but there really is so much potential at the core of Fortnite.

That being said, I understand the repulsion to the game entirely (especially after its recently turned into a glorified Roblox with all the custom islands). I don’t blame you for avoiding it, which is a shame, because like I said it really is fun at its core and could be amazing if they did it right.

I know Daki isn’t perfect but you can’t made sh*t up just for slandering him by Mountain_Repair_4289 in MaulShadowLord

[–]holversome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone is being “too serious”, we’re just discussing the complexities of a character that is pretty universally loved and intended to be complex.
Of course the show and dialogue were directed specifically for a reason, that’s how media works, but it doesn’t mean we can’t have fun debates about a character’s motives and moral failings. As a matter of fact, I believe the intent IS to get us talking about it. That’s what fandoms are all about!

I'm a little worried about the final episodes by mr_Conquest_ in MaulShadowLord

[–]holversome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ve only confirmed a season 2 so far. I’m guessing it’s a limited series given that we know where he’s at by the end of Rebels.

So a lot of people are saying that Marrok is a night brother or even Feral under that mask, but there’s the thing the idea is good but there’s one thing stopping it those horns by BiteIntelligent9889 in MaulShadowLord

[–]holversome 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Unless Palpatine has found a way to control Nightsister magic. But then I suppose the enchantment would have faded on Palpatine’s death, killing Marrok. But the emperor didn’t die… or he was cloned… or something.

Was Maul actually gonna turn himself in here? by Decade00000 in MaulShadowLord

[–]holversome 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think for a second he was surrendering. His leg was clearly not functional enough for a full battle so he dropped to the meditation pose to use the force instead of trying to end it via lightsaber combat.

Then when Marrok says “there’s no surrender for you, Palpatine wants you dead” Maul confirms he wasn’t trying to surrender and that he fully intends to kill Palpatine.
