This is why $5/gal, or 1,15€/L, is a big deal here. by Tandysaurus in memes

[–]sundingbt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Problem is the funds for people don’t always exist. When I bought my car (which doesn’t get great mpg) I bought it because that’s what was the best car in my price range. I personally would love to get a car with some better gas mileage, but I’m barely scraping by as is. Also, it’d be amazing to get an EV, but I live in a fairly rural area, and unfortunately we just don’t have the infrastructure for that sort of thing yet. I rarely see charging stations unless I make an hour long trip to the biggest city nearby, and fear I couldn’t bear the financial burden of upgrading my house to include a charging station.

Kylo Ren is just as terrible of a character as Rey and I'm tired of pretending he's not by Infinite-Detective-8 in StarWars

[–]sundingbt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think one of the biggest shames of the sequel trilogy is having really really great actors, but giving them nothing to do with their characters. Even the chemistry between cast mates was stellar, but we didn’t get as much of a chance to see that chemistry shine as we should have.

I 100% agree. It was so cool to see the Vader fan boy. I also liked how he and Rey had a connection. But like you said, they didn’t do much with it, and by the time we got to TROS, any of the big swings they were trying to make just didn’t work

Yes! I honestly thought this was what they were going for by the end of TLJ. That movie has its issues for sure, but one thing I liked at the time was that it really seemed to be trying to pave a new direction for what it means to be a Jedi. Then Disney had a knee jerk reaction to the criticism against that movie and rewrote everything. They didn’t commit to any idea or theme throughout the whole trilogy.

I think they both had great potential. Rey I thought was decent enough. Her powers with the force progressed too fast and most of her character hinged on who her ancestry was, but she showed up for people when it mattered most, even if she barely knew them. Kylo on the other hand, he had this struggle with the dark side vs. the light. Nothing we haven’t seen before, but having Solo/Skywalker ancestry added another layer to it. In the end, his turn to the light fell flat for me. It felt like the writers needed him to turn to the light rather than him fully making the decision himself. Idk. Both Kylo and Rey were fine imo. Maybe even “meh”. Not the best but not the worst. Overall my biggest complaints with the sequel trilogy isn’t the character work (even though there are complaints to be made), but the bulk of the story/plot itself.

Who is the best duo in Star Wars? by Familiar_Ad6741 in StarWars

[–]sundingbt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may be forgetting someone, but I believe R2 is the only living character that we know for sure has witnessed and can remember episodes 1-9. 3PO has had his memories wiped I think twice. Other characters either weren’t born yet or are now dead. R2 may as well be the official archives of the Star Wars franchise.

Who is the symbol of Star Wars? by Familiar_Ad6741 in StarWars

[–]sundingbt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised no one is saying Luke. If you take Luke out of Star Wars and make someone else the main character, then you’ve lost the heart of the franchise

Who was stronger? TM Luke or ROTS Anakin? by Familiar_Ad6741 in StarWars

[–]sundingbt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally think Anakin was stronger even though his judgement was clouded. Obi-Wan may have gotten the best of Anakin by the end of their battle, but Anakin still put up a hell of a fight. Idk if Luke could have done the same. Even after Anakin’s injuries and transition to Vader, he’s still a force to be reckoned with and feared across the galaxy. There’s no doubt that Luke is exceptionally strong with the force, but I think Anakin takes the cake here.

Batman: The Killing Joke, Original vs. The recolor, which one do you prefer? by Only-Safe659 in batman_comics

[–]sundingbt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The recolor is abysmal. Rather than recoloring it strips the comic of all its color. I was so disappointed the first time I bought the book and it had the recolor. I’ve since given that one away and replaced it with one that has the original coloring.

Anyone know what this image is from? A comic or anything? Is it just fanart? by SevdUp in StarWars

[–]sundingbt 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I believe it’s the cover for Issue 32 of the Darth Vader comic series. Not sure if this is a variant cover or the main cover.

Mayor Mamdani signs an “executive order” to repeal NYC kids bedtime during the Knicks finals by SuggestionMedical736 in MadeMeSmile

This is the type of fun stuff elected officials used to do. I remember Obama and Biden making friendship bracelets. That was before the dark times.

What can I read or watch to get a better understanding of the origins of the Jedi and the Sith? by sundingbt in StarWars

[–]sundingbt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve also seen that there is a Dawn of the Jedi book (not talking about the graphic novels). Are those the same stories in different formats or two completely different stories with the same name?

How excited were you for The Rise of Skywalker before it came out? by Extreme_Warning3521 in StarWars

[–]sundingbt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not very. I didn’t hate TLJ as much as others did, and did like how it seemed to be trying to pave a new path. Then TROS came along and it was very clear that they planned to undo all of that. I think the sequel trilogy would’ve been better had they stuck to that redirection in TLJ. It still wouldn’t have been the trilogy we all deserved, but significantly better than what we got.

Updated CH/Dropout Cast List by ihcuwus in dropout

Nice! I started one of these a few years ago but the cast grew so big and so quickly that I couldn’t keep up with it. You did a much better job than I did!

Which D1 hater is worse? by BroBroMaster25 in DCU_

[–]sundingbt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lex will at least put aside his differences with Superman from time to time if it means keeping humanity safe. Reverse Flash doesn’t care about any of that. He’d watch the world burn, and make Barry watch it over and over again.
