    The Mandalorian

    What a great episode this was. Can't wait for the next one.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Oh definitely, it was a mix of Cell vs Gohan and Voldemort vs Harry in that scene. The dialogue was meh, but the visuals were pretty cool, and the room it takes place in is pretty cool too.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Regarding the title and the ending... Since I can see this post is getting a lot of love, I'd like to point out I'm not writing this as my own poetic interpretation, I'm just stating the movie dialogue right there.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I won't defend the new movies overmuch, they have a ton of flaws and some good things. But as someone that saw the whole movie, if Palpatine's lightning in that scene was on the same level as what he used in the scene just before this video, it's not a matter of "will I fuck my face up" and more...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Yeah but like I said above, Palpatine did the same mistake in ROTS.. it's not like he's the best at making short-term decisions.. he's a good schemer and manipulator but ultimately he judges people wrongly (both Luke and Rey, and even Vader), hubris is his worst enemy, he keeps underestimating...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Haha I see.. well, that's nothing new, the same thing happened in ROTS, that's how he fucked his own face up. Or his glamour at least. I'm sure Disney will release a comic or a novel that explains how once your Force Lightning gets tangled into a lightsaber you can't stop it or something...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I'm genuinely curious, what do you find retarded about it?

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Yes. But that's pretty obvious, not sure how anyone could create these images otherwise. It'd be a really fucking amazing video editing job if it was fake.

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Okay so.. Before I tell you anything about how I liked TROS, here's my take on the other movies. Prequels - mostly terrible, a few good ideas sprinkled here and there but overall wasted, learned to not let them bother me too much after a while. Classics - love them. All of them, including...

    I’m browsing on my phone right now and it’s a huge PITA to write anything, I’ll be home in a bit to write my thoughts.

    I saw it a couple hours ago. Feel free to ask questions if you want.

    The Mandalorian

    Not to argue that the female twi'lek hissing at everything and behaving like Harley Quinn wasn't weird and out of place but the knives didn't seem like regular plain knives to me. When she threw them at Mando they seemed to have glowing purple edges, like the knives we see the cartel boss use in...

    The Expanse

    Well, since you haven't read the books, maybe you know or maybe you don't know, but all of Bobbie's stuff and most of Avasarala's stuff in season 4 is completely made up for the show, because Bobbie was not in book 4 at all, and Avarasala barely was. The show has linked them to events that will...

    The Expanse

    While I love the book series, books 4-5 are a bit of a jumbled mess and blur in my mind due to all the chapters dedicated to the Marco bullshit and the eye slugs on Ilus dragging on way too long and most of the characters seemed pretty forgettable in those books until it picks back up when...

    Terminator (2019)

    One could argue that if you're going to make a movie without Skynet, the Connors or the T800, maybe you shouldn't make a Terminator movie. It's not like Terminator has the copyrights down on killer robots or future wars.

    Resident Evil 3 Remake (April 2020)

    RE4 hasn't aged too badly, but it would be interesting to play it in the same vein as the new RE2 remake indeed.. I wonder if they'd try to make it as serious as the remakes though, because RE4 definitely wasn't taking itself too seriously. RE5 was the moment the franchise jumped the shark but...

    Resident Evil 3 Remake (April 2020)

    Then after that they'll remake the RE1 remake to match those new remakes, and by the time that happens it will be time for RE2 Remake Remastered and the cycle will begin anew. Better get that Umbrella, Capcom, it's gonna rain money.

    Resident Evil 3 Remake (April 2020)

    That was in RE2, and in RE2 Remake as well.. not sure if RE3 also had it. It's basically HUNK on hard mode.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I've had my eye on Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom on Switch for a long time because I love the Metroidvania genre and it's now at 50% discount on the Switch store (so 19.99), but I'm seeing a lot of positive reviews and a few negative ones, but the negative seems to point at really large...

    The Mandalorian

    Because 2019 or even 1999 Lucas is a far cry from 1977 Lucas that gave us the classics we enjoy(ed). And even then, their success was mostly due to Lucas being surrounded by talented people such as his wife who reworked the flow and script for IV, and two other directors for V and VI, plus...

    'Tis The Hat/Avatar/Shoop Season!

    Can one of you shop wizards attempt to put a frame of blinking christmas lights around the gate and upper ledge of the burning dojo Sekiro is facing? Like alternating blinking red, yellow and green lights or something.. not sure if it is possible to add an actual hat to Sekiro though. Maybe a...

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    Also, if you're looking for a good (but old'ish) game about vikings, Viking : Battle for Asgard is pretty damn good, it didn't really find its audience back then but it would have deserved more success than it received (it's on X360, PS3 and PC).

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    So much this. I mean, in one of the Assassin's Creed 2 games (Maybe the third Assassin's Creed 2.. or the second... goddamn this franchise) Ezio finds notes from Altaïr that say he had two sons, one went east and one went west to spread the creed of the Assassins. Ezio being in Italy, it...

    Black Widow (2020)

    Seems great so far. Funny to see Taskmaster apparently mimicking Hawkeye in that car chase, though the compound bow + helmet gave me a big Crysis 3 feeling.

    The Mandalorian

    It's not like you have to show your face to bang someone. In fact if it wasn't Disney I'd have expected around the end of the episode when he's packing, the pretty widow would come talk to him and whisper something and he goes "Uh.. no it's only the helmet.." and then an ellipse and back to...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I'll answer that question like I'm not surrounded by people asking questions without wanting actual answers. In the duel at the end of TFA, you gotta remember Kylo Ren was 1) bleeding like a stuck pig after taking a bowcaster shot to the chest (which we saw several times in the movie backflip...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I think what you are overestimating is the importance the masses give to the impact TLJ had on the Star Wars brand. It did some damage, for sure. Lots of adult fans that used to buy all the toys and merch for every movie are now buying less or none. But for the kids, the merch is still...

    No you're right about avoiding threads in the weeks prior to release.. however, this leaks situation without any spoilers has been going on in this thread for months. Even before the first teaser.

    Since we're on the topic, I check this thread now and then BEFORE the movie expecting to see teasers, trailers, and the occasionnal youtuber video and comments about how KK is ruining this franchise, or making fun of TLJ some more, or stuff like that.... leaks should be spoilered or be in their...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Not that this thread takes the lore seriously for the most part, but in the amazing novel Darth Plagueis novel (seriously one of the best SW books I've read, including the Thrawn trilogy), Palpatine's background and origins are explored much more. His first name is indeed Sheev since that was...

    I know I'm late to the party but I've only recently played Hollow Knight since I'm trying to catch up on my backlog of games (finished the PS4 backlog and 3 games to do on Switch, woo) and good lord that game is frickin amazing. The soundtrack, the gameplay, the world-building is all top notch...

    Warcraft III: Reforged

    The artifact the Dragonmaw were using was the Demon Soul (previously Dragon Soul) that belonged to Deathwing (he stole it after the other Aspects poured their power into it). Deathwing allowed the Dragonmaw clan to use it to enslave Alexstrasza the Red Dragonqueen whom he hated, and let them use...

    Hopefully everyone slides off from the back just as the main thrusters fire, incinerating the SWJ brigade. Only Lando remains to finish Palpatine.
