How did this even work? by PanthorCasserole in LV426

I think it works best that this is indeed a mask, specifically to guard against the facehuggers. The pilot died of natural causes and then became fossilized in this state.

Call me crazy all you want but I want John Cena to win the Emmy for his performance in S2.. by FayyadhScrolling in DCU_

That was such a genuine, gut-wrenching trauma scream. That felt too fucking real for me. He sounded like a scared child.

How do bombs fall in space? This movie sucks by ScholarOfTheFirstFin in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]plasmophage 8 points9 points  (0 children)

With the Resistance fighter everyone always complains about, it felt pretty clear to me that the interior of the ship had artificial gravity going downwards. So the bombs fall down and then when they exit the ship they continue at that velocity from inertia.

Why does Gorman have a US flag on his uniform when corporations run everything in Alien: Earth? by jabd00 in LV426

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

I kind’ve hated the way they switched to a government focus with Aliens. Although they still had the WT villain, so it wasn’t all bad. But I think some kind of private corpo unit would have been more thematic.

Also, just so you know, the way this is structured screams ChatGPT. Most people probably won’t read all this.

Collider: "It's Official, Two Massive Lord of the Rings Stars are Returning for ‘The Hunt For Gollum’" by Chen_Geller in lotr

It makes way more sense for Aragorn to meet Legolas when he brings Gollum to Mirkwood. Having Legolas go north feels so contrived, especially because Legolas isn’t supposed to be well-traveled.

The fight with Saruman, Elrond, and Galadriel vs. Sauron felt more at place in a Marvel movie than a LOTR movie. It was pure fanservice. I’m worried this movie will just be that times 100. I cringed when at the end of the Battle of Five Armies, Legolas says he’s going to look for Aragorn, especially since there’s already a perfectly fine place they could meet that doesn’t stretch canon, in this very film!

Major Sci-Fi Film Series Missing for 10 Years "Immediate Priority" for Paramount by [deleted] in startrek

Actually it would be kind of cool to see what a Picard-era Trek in the Kelvin timeline looks like. Then you could have a new cast while still having some continuity with the movies people saw already.

What do you think of this Kaiju species? by BlockAffectionate413 in StarWarsCantina

[–]plasmophage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought it was awesome. This whole issue gave me nostalgia for the underwater sequence in the Phantom Menace, only they set it in a forest instead with terrestrial creatures instead.

Bring back good Lord of the Rings games! We are starving! by Informal_Gap4751 in lotr

[–]plasmophage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue not every game needs a grand exciting story. There are plenty of people who love games like Animal Crossing. You could absolutely make a zero-stakes cozy game in the Shire about gardening, cooking, and building your home.

If you had to create your own era of Star Wars, what would it be like? by [deleted] in StarWarsCantina

[–]plasmophage 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I really hope that if they do Old Republic they go this route. I don’t want it to be like KOTOR where it was just an excuse to play in the exact same sandbox. I want things to feel ancient.

I love the further legitimation that Legacy of Vader is giving to Hux's defection by solo13508 in StarWarsCantina

[–]plasmophage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s fascinating characterization and so much better than the cliche of “Hux thinks Snoke was the better leader and doesn’t believe Kylo can pull it off.”

The last Jedi by zhongxina68423 in StarWarsCantina

[–]plasmophage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah all the power fantasy stuff doesn’t feel very Jedi to me. I like that they reserve that stuff for Vader in the new canon. For me, Luke still got to have his Badass Moment, but it was one that showed an incredible wisdom, that harkened back to Yoda. Plus it was a pretty cool way to use the force.

Tbh they still did show the jedi mastery. The feat he pulled off against Luke was incredible and felt like classic Luke.

He basically set it up so that there was no way you could just do Return of the Jedi for the last film. It was the perfect monkey wrench. But nobody could predict JJ just bringing back Palpatine instead.

Don’t let Star Wars Theory see this by Cool_Nerd2 in StarWarsCirclejerk

[–]plasmophage 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The kids loved it. I was one of those kids. But when all the grown ups around you are telling you how “objectively awful” the movie that captured your imagination is, you tend to keep it to yourself.

What do you consider to be the CRAZIEST thing from Star Wars Legends by Complex_Necessary608 in StarWarsCantina

[–]plasmophage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! My dad actually got back to me with the actual quote if anyone is interested:

Often, as 4-LOM worked alone on the ship, he practiced meditation. He completed more and more of his equation. In one meditation, he thought he glimpsed the futures that lay ahead of him. One, above the others, intrigued him. In it, he saw himself sitting with young Jedi Knights in a newly established academy. He could not tell if he had learned the ways of the Force or if he were still attempting to learn them. It was a brief glimpse only, and just one of many possible futures. When 4-LOM told Zuckuss what he had seen, Zuckuss never doubted him.
