"most visually striking and thematically rich Star Wars film" lmao bruh are you for fucking serious

like alright fine if you like it you like it but you really going to tell me that anything in TLJ surpasses anything in Lucas' 6 films visually or thematically, come on now.
Happy 8th anniversary to THE LAST JEDI - the most visually striking, subversive, and thematically rich Star Wars film to date. The movie features our favorite SW scene of all time - Luke & Leia’s reunion - a never fails to get us tearing up. Forever grateful to @rianjohnson.bsky.social ❤️

bro really blocking me because I pointed out most of Spielberg's films are successes comparable to the Indiana Jones films and not Jaws or Jurassic Park :(

Metroid Prime 4 finished 100%

it's a good game, but definitely lacking in parts. Feels like the middle game of a trilogy missing the first half. Not being able to TURN OFF THE HINT SYSTEM is stupid!

But it looks great, plays smoothly, it is by no means a bad game by any fair metric. 7/10

also a thing about star wars is its inherent postmodernism of taking the old *accusation* of sf being space operas --- i.e. just reskinned westerns --- and going 'yes that is what this is and we're doing it full-throttle' is not quite obvious to generations who grew up with it

i think the thing most sci-fi universes get wrong is that a lot of them are trying to be cool and george lucas implicitly understood that it needs to look cool, lived in, and also everything's kinda weird enough for the audience to go "woah what is WEIRD" and gawk at it

Tonight on an all new Metroid! Private Armstrong is Samus' newest biggest fan, but her imitations start to prove a bit excessive! (Cut to Armstrong curled up like a human pretzel and clearly uncomfortable) "H-Hey, Samus, look! I can morph ball too!" (Cut to Samus staring blankly, canned laughter)

Big agreed. Other M trauma is silly and overblown. Even in that game, Samus didn't talk *that* much (she monologued internally), and while it was bad it was largely at the feet of a poor localization. Samus is not a chatterbox, but she needs to be allowed to say "Yes", "No", "Thank you", and such1
Look, this is the problem. The series tried to overcorrect after Metroid Other M and now it's such a cowardly mess that she's not even allowed to speak a lick of English to anyone anymore lest the fans cry. We have to let that fucking game go. It's been more than a decade.

It's been "A New Hope" since 1981. It's literally been "A New Hope" for more than 90% of its existence. This isn't even a special edition chance, or even originally a home video change, it was a theatrical re-release change!

How are some people so pissed off at the existence of a subtitle.
RE-RELEASE STAR WARS (NOT A New Hope) FOR THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY YOU COWARDS!
Yessssssssss finally

"as it was intended: the way the director and head creator no longer felt satisfied with!"
Glad to see the OG trilogy of Star Wars is getting a new theatrical release so we can finally see it as it was intended.

With Han shooting first.

Slavery is outlawed in the Republic. This is established by Padme in Episode I: The Phantom Menace. The Jedi do not "tolerate" the slavery that goes on outside Republic borders any more than public servants in the global north "tolerate" various atrocities in developing nations here in our world.

The Federation can be a generally benevolent force for good fighting mad scientist space terrorists while also having crooked actors doing things to consolidate power and authority behind closed doors, these aren't mutually exclusive ideas. One is Tanabe's focus, the other is Sakamoto's.
The Metroid Prime games are Federation propaganda by the way, specially 3 and Federation Force.

Characters being the same archetype do not mean that one has to like all characters of that archetype. Luke is well written; Rey is not. Moreover, Luke and Rey aren't the same archetype, unless your idea of archetype is "protagonist".
Having a different attitude to Rey in Force Awakens vs Luke in Star Wars is pretty unjustifiable. You can think they're both kinda dull Mary/Marty Sues or you can think they're both nice every(wo)man action heroes. Either justified imo. But they're basically the same so you gotta cohere between them

i legit love how weird and unorthodox these space suits are. some of the most interesting visual design in all of TOS.
These space suits from Star Trek ToS effin rule!
