    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    If you have to make ridiculous excuses like that to justify the scenes, the Vader stuff was not fine. The more I think about it, the less bad Reva's actress seems and the more the problem seems to be with the writing and direction. I'm not claiming she's the next Denzel or anything, but if...

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    It's just gonna be the same game with a more even split between melee and ranged instead of being so heavily melee focused. I haven't fired up VT2 in a year.

    Warhammer 40k: Darktide

    After 1000 hours between the two Vermintides, I don't feel very excited for this.

    Total War: Warhammer

    Guess I'll...buy the game somewhere down the road for 15-20 bucks.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    The writers watched that "Obi-Wan has PTSD" video and took it to heart.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Vader was a little bad but Reva teleporting to the end of that escape tunnel was some Iron Fleet level bullshit. I thought she was gonna kill that sand slut and Leia was just gonna have to escape on her own.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    and a fireproof suit of armor. think I'm keeping my rating at a 6.5, the acting was improved a bit but the Inquisitors are not Sith, you don't murder your way up the chain of command. Only way that part of it is salvaged is if in the final episode Palpatine tears Vader a new one for mismanaging...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    I don't think Portman's dialogue was delivered any better than Christensen's. Even McGregor got a bit cringeworthy at times.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Sega Shadowrun was one of the earliest "do A-B-C in any order" sandbox games.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    It's linear and unambitious, but it's also a very complete and polished game.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Has nothing to do with her being a black woman and everything to do with her being one of the central characters of the show.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    It's an F&F production and I doubt they'll fumble again so soon after Boba Fat. My wisecracking does not mean I'm not optimistic for this.

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    Wonder if they'll suppress the toxicology report or just not do an autopsy.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    The last time the KKK decided to break the mold we got the sequels. You should be thrilled that they're trying to at least somewhat copy the F&F formula.

    Yes, Owen's father bought Shmi from Watto and freed her.

    Mira Furlan (Delenn) died of complications from the West Nile Virus, which is spread by insects (most commonly mosquitos).

    ...or watched the show that takes place 4 years in the future that features him as the main antagonist of Season 1?

    Does he measure up in the nose department? Because Ezra is like 25% nose.

    Well in ~6 years he'll be back at the peak of his game.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Clearly in the 4 years between now and when Rebels starts the Emperor will have found a new fallen Pau'an Jedi to serve as Grand Inquisitor.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Man I wonder if there is any precedent in the Star Wars canon for people surviving catastrophic injuries. Like being bisected at the waist and tossed down a trash chute or a triple amputation followed by being set on fire.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    The Inquisitors are not Sith. She is almost certainly facing execution for trying to kill the Grand Inquisitor but at the very least she's looking at a whole fuck load of "reconditioning" to fix her obedience problem. I'm probably giving the writers too much credit, but I think she wants to...

    Eh. They obviously got close in the time leading up to Age of Ultron but his disappearance to Sakaar ended that relationship and I don't see any sign in Endgame that they got back together during the time leading up to the blip. I'm sure he still considered her a very close friend but not as...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    In fairness I only learned about it myself like yesterday. Even with finished CGI and less wooden dialogue I don't think the scene would have worked, so I understand the decision to cut it. Banner talking to Nat might have been interesting and wouldn't have destroyed the pacing like Stark's...

    The Soul Stone brought Tony and Thanos to the Way Station to deal with an unresolved issue, in both cases it happened to be guilt over their daughters. Had nothing to do with dying, Thanos was just strong enough to survive using the stones with an axe in his chest.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    There's no way Endgame Thor is more powerful than IW Thor. In IW he's still at peak physicality and has a strong mental focus on vengeance, in Endgame he's a fat drunken slob in complete mental disarray regardless of the small pat on the back the borrowed Mjolnir gave him.

    Oh the spinny dual-blades? It looks bad enough in animation, can't imagine how bad it will look live action.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    The "Red Blades" are reasonably well known throughout the galaxy, Vader is not. ANH continuity should really just be viewed more like guidelines rather than actual rules.

    Is it really any different from 'This was your father's lightsaber, he murdered dozens of young children with it'

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    The world building came after Lucas wrote Ep 4 which is why it is full of discontinuities like that one. Back then the Jedi were just some extinct group that had never been expounded on, not a galactically known para-military that had existed for thousands of years.
