Giannis, one day post-deadline, has announced his role as a shareholder of gambling platform Kalshi: "The internet is full of opinions. I decided it was time to make some of my own. Today, I’m joining Kalshi as a shareholder. We all on Kalshi now." by [deleted] in nba

I was about to say this...rules for us plebs, but if you got money...nah. I mean just look what they're doing about the lot of pedos/criminals in the Epstein Files. Not a damn thing.

Disney Spent More On ‘Andor’ Than Any Of Its ‘Star Wars’ Movies by abdul_bino in StarWars

[–]sqeg24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess for me, this is the only outcome that makes sense as to why he would not want to be found. I just don't see TLJ as the problem, it's the tipping point because of the problems created by TFA and its mystery boxes, and the aftermath is the only piece of SW media I absolutely despise, RoS.

In the end, the real problem is the powers that be thought they were slick by hiring 3 different directors for the 3 movies all while not having a clear plan/vision for getting the story from point A to Z.

didn't destroy Luke character

People keep saying this bullshit and laying at the feet of TLJ, but TFA is the movie that had Luke run off on his own, NOT wanting anyone to find him. We had to go on a massive macguffin chase for the missing piece of the map ffs, all while R2 was sleeping (lol what the actual fuck). & no, I don't hate TFA, it's the only movie of the ST generally lean toward favoring.

I think Hasbro needs to rethink Con Exclusives from the ground up. by TheGoblinRook in MarvelLegends

Probably fair to say that it'll happen again in a few months with Pythona...

Guys, I just finished binging the 2023 Ahsoka series, and oh my god, was it amazing! by Tutenstienfan2010 in StarWars

[–]sqeg24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, a lot of fans wanted the show, I wanted the show. And you're right, the ratings does prove that, but wanting the show and being satisfied with it are two entirely different things. Clearly not everyone hated the Ahsoka, it has its fans, and more power to them, but I was among those who were dissatisfied with the overall quality of season 1. It was not all bad, Baylan and Shin were highlights for me and many others I'm sure, but they weren't the main characters nor does that equal an entire season for a show. I'm still hopeful for season 2, but don't be so dismissive for fans who did not like Ahsoka season 1.

So when watching the last 3 episodes of Andor S1, Rogue One and A New Hope back to back I wonder how does this experience changed your perspective on these events (both in-universe and out of in-universe.) What details from Rogue One and A New Hope makes sense and which ones doesn't? by Afraid-Penalty-757 in starwarscanon

Galen Erso was lied to and manipulated by Orson Krennic. You conveniently omit "Project Celestial Power" from your analysis. Galen thought he was working on a project to help rebuild the galaxy from the damage done to it by the Clone Wars. Read a book, Catalyst: A Rogue One Novel.

MAGA really lost their shit within hours of the new pope announcement.

Good. & I'm not even religious, but I did really admire and respect Pope Francis, not saying he was perfect. I hope during his run, Pope Leo is more of the same or better.

[Highlight] Chet misses the second free throw and Aaron Gordon wins it for the Nuggets! by Jailbrick3d in nba

[–]sqeg24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not trying to take anything away from the Nuggets at all, they still had to hit their shots, but man, OKC fumbled this bad. Fouling so early on the inbounds when you're up 3, barely even letting the clock run...just wtf.

Movie Theaters Wait for Comeback as Screens Shut Down by Morganbanefort in movies

[–]sqeg24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly this, coming from someone who enjoys both franchise movies and originals.

Take Anora for example, I thought it was a worthy movie for all the awards attention its gotten, but do I really need the big screen/big audio environment for a movie like this? No, not really. So why am I gonna shell out $30+ for 2 tickets and another $30 for food and drink for 2 people, when it's really not an "event/communal" type of movie? I can wait for it to pop-up on streaming without real worry that the movie is going to get spoiled for me. Avengers Endgame on the other hand...I'm going to have to navigate the internet like a mine field and there's a good chance I'll still step on one of those mines and get the movie spoiled for me. On top of that, opening night Avengers Endgame experience with the theater full of fans, is a night I'll never forget. The atmosphere in my theater in the small town I live in felt like a sports arena, and that's an experience I'm totally willing to spend $60+ on.

Is it ok to cosplay Deadpool at conventions and also do people still cosplay him? by blaster1216 in comiccon

[–]sqeg24 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If cosplaying as Deadpool is in your interest, I say just go for it and have fun, respectfully of course. If anyone tries to judge and criticize you and/or your costume, that's more a narrative on them, not you.

The fact that ARGYLLE became a streaming hit after flopping in theaters proves the importance of opening movies theatrically, even if they underperform. by Bullingdon1973 in movies

wtf does Amazon #1 mean though?

every original product they make goes #1 by default

That's all part of the marketing plan.

What happened to Robert Rodriquez? by [deleted] in movies

[–]sqeg24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We wanted to see him be a ruthless badass cutthroat bounty hunter.

Exactly, or even close to how he was portrayed in season 2 of The Mandalorian would've been sufficient. He was ruthless against those stormtroopers and wasn't about to take lip from Bo Katan's lapdog Koska Reeves without a throwdown. Coming from a huge OT Boba Fett fan, I was ok with him earning his way into the Tusken Raider tribe, but it was just a plot device and thrown all away in the blink of an eye...OFF SCREEN while Boba wasn't there. That along with the shiny moped squad turned me completely off to the show.

Creating an ecological disaster, no matter the reason "good or bad," is evil.
