  1. Prediction: they'll double down and make her Gayladriel.

  2. Simp harder, I guess.
    1
  3. Given that they cast a Norwegian-Spanish-Chinese girl wearing redface as a Comanche, it's about what you'd expect.

  4. Sounds like a great Update for Modern Audiences. And I expect Carlo Gugino could pull me off perfectly.

  5. There are no stakes for its titular character, and Luna is a blank faced nothing of an actor. We should speak as adults.

  6. RIP Robin Hood tree. It wasn't suited for Modern Britain.
    1
  7. Huh, you're a teenage girl masquerading as an adult male - that's a turnaround for the internets.
    1
  8. We're not quite at the apathy stage yet, because it still hurts, just a little.
    1
  9. What was your favourite piece of writing?
    1
  10. You know how Gary jokes that X-Ray-Girl is all Orientals? That's unironically what casting a Menominee as a Choctaw is. "All basically the same, right?"

  11. Well, I can't find much to disagree with in this review, right down to the slightly stretched runtime and (initial) cast bloat. Some of the slapstick was a little out of place, like the speeded-up scooter scene. Other than that, it's superbly done and genuinely involving.

  12. I'm sorry, which community college LARP guild is this that I'm looking at?
    1
  13. Explicitly. They explicitly said that the SW:EU could get fucked. Un-canoned the lot of it, right back to the OG Splinter of the Mind's Eye. All of that lore that you actually loved and bought? Nah, you imagined it, you idiots.
    1
  14. Episode X: The Hail Mary-Sue.
    1
  15. Naked, hyper-sexualised teens, unsanctioned drug peddling, dead kids in dumpsters: this is essentially a Hollywood biopic.
    1
  16. Have you heard the phrase "The purpose of a system is what it does"? The bloat is the purpose. Kings value their own importance based on the number of courtiers, not on the treasury.
    1
  17. "Nah, it was fine"?
    1
  18. This is the best possible version. And yet it's still a pile of tedious wank, because it's got Super Sue in it.
    1
  19. At this point all they have left is to bulk-buy tickets for the empty theatres.

  20. What your analysis fails to take into account is that every time the film makes no sense, they point a giant fan at Gal Gadot and film her in slow motion, therefore your argument is invalid.
    1
  21. Yup. I bailed after the, uh... "speeder" scooter "chase" scene. I honestly wondered if I was watching some sort of parody.

  22. Why did dark-skinned Strong Female Character #4 create Strong Female Character and Strong Female Antagonist as light-skinned versions of herself? They have no other traits from Strong Female Character #5, so this must be a conscious choice, right? Iiiiiiintersting.

  23. And yet, its opening weekend was fine. Not great, but a quarter of a billion worldwide is... fine. We're getting exactly the quality of film that we deserve.
    1
  24. Nope. No tolerance for Scienticians. None. Cruise is a miniature monster. You cannot separate the man from the art.

  25. 20 years on, the only thing in Hollywood still as good as it was then is Salma Hayek's rack.
    1
  26. Point of order: the best Trek made in the last 20 years was Axanar. And Paramount and CBS murdered it after Prelude, because they knew that it was actual Trek, rather than the emo shitshow of Discovery that they had in the pipeline.
    1
  27. "Fired"?
    1
  28. So... I'll put you down as maybe a 7 out of 10?
    1
  29. I genuinely wonder if this review of the trailer got more views than the entire run of the show after that belly-flop of a start.
    1
  30. And yet again, they tick the "stronk black whamen" box with a one-drop-rule casting, indistinguishable from half a dozen other instantly forgettable identity poppets.
    1
  31. This lad's such an absolute chad that he can get 6 or 10 shots from a belt fed machine gun for every clipazine that feeds into it!
    1
  32. This is as canon as anything in the historical documents.
    1
  33. What's with all this anti-borg bigotry, ya dick?
    1
  34. Ford Escort? Gen X moment.
    1
  35. OK, then I might watch it with my good friend Captain Jack Sparrow. But WotC get nothing.
    1
  36. Supposition: if you set out to make a show that's ostensibly anti-White supremacist, but was so deliberately awful that it actually makes the audience sympathise with them, how would it look substantially different to this?
    1
  37. Road traffic collision.
    1
  38. Might have been an idea to flag up that it's got some explicit sex scenes, including... tentacly... ones.
    1
  39.  @jb-ch7ug  What enemies? Again: they've been hiding - like Wakanda - for hundreds of years. Why would be even remember?

  40. Crikey, there's a blast from the past.
    1
  41. Oh boy, look at Zegler acting. Look at her doing acting.
    1
  42. You watched this sober, didn't you? Big mistake. Huge. Just neck one for real, channel your inner teenage girl, and enjoy the proper music, cars, clothes and totty. As to the character conclusion, riddle me this: at the end of Unforgiven, did Munny win, or lose?
    1
  43. HOW COULD YOU HEAR IT OVER THE SCORE?
    1
  44. "Steve is absolutely wasted in this film". Well, that would explain his performance. Although curiously it was the rest of the world that blacked out and couldn't remember any of it in the morning.
    1
  45. When you see the runtime, you know that this one stings like lemon juice in a laser-sword cut.
    1
  46. Stormfront was a good girl who did absolutely nothing wrong.
    1
  47. Clearly Riva and Sabine took the thrust right in their bonus holes.
    1
  48. The plan where she climbs up just high enough to make herself and Toxic Male Comanche easy targets, puts herself in a position where she can't use her weapon effectively, makes herself a casualty and a liability, and is only saved because the plot says "And yet somehow she lived."
    1
  49. Of all the turd-marbles in this shit-sandwich, a tiny one but among the hardest to swallow is that they didn't even bother to give a name to the elf who, uh... tanked a Balrog and created mithril. The sheer, gopping disrespectful laziness of that. It would be like: "That Guy Who Sat Under That Tree That One Time's Law of Gravitation".

  50. I wonder how many viewers stop watching these reviews half way through, so that they can go and watch the content instead. So often, it's the other way around.
