People consider that movie "great" for one reason only. . . The latter half is where it shines. Getting there is a bore. 1 hour ago, TheInfernoman said: The movie was excellent...but a series for this guy? eh.... This is exactly the problem.

Wellman Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I mean it isn't unheard of. All the major streamers with international platforms basically buy or create certain movies or shows aimed or made for certain audiences in different countries. I believe I saw an Asian drama advertised for Disney+ not too long ago. Quote Link to comment
Hecatom Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Disney has had an initiative to try to appeal more to latinos in recent years with their products and the brands under them, like marvel for example. The problem is that outside Encanto, they have been fucking up, like calling us latinxs, something that latin americans hate with passion 🤣 This series doesn't only have Diego Luna reprising his role from the movie, but he is also one of the producers, and it seems that it will also direct according to some sites. And like Wellman said, it is something that has worked for Netflix. Those Motherfuckers keep adding classic telenovelas and series from latin america that keep being on the top 10 for months because how beloved they are, like the original version of Ugly Betty.

There were Telenet or whatever reporters constantly covering and televising their feats during the war. how do people not realize he’s who he is?

It's giving me fetch-quest vibes. That revelation doesn't make sense when you consider that Spoiler In canon only 4 people knew about that. Even in the disney canon. The only rationalization i can give is Spoiler That Vader purposefuly has manypulated the 3rd sister, revealing that he is Anakin, and groomed her hatred to make her hate Obi Wan, and manipulating her to be like she is, and to do what is doing to try to bring Obi Wan out of his hiding. Gonna say that knowing the leaked scrips and ending and seeing the show so far, it gives credence to said leaks, and i am preparing myself for another disappointment.

SMFH Plus (mini rant below) Spoiler As mentioned by other's Leia is supposed to be 10 and looks and acts like a 6 year old. 3rd Sister's character doesn't work as of now. Unless there some sort of explanation, disobedient dark side uses get bopped without prejudice. Failure is barely tolerated, outright defiance? No way. Obi Wan's struggling to catch a falling Leia with the force? Really? He's laying in wait to train Luke but he's let his basic skills atrophy that badly. Don't get me started on Inquisitors frequently being on Tatooine and not noticing Luke being with Owen. It's not like Luke is pretending to be their son. While I'm ranting, this show got pushed back. I'm not talking COVID reasons. I mean the scripts were done, KK thought they weren't up to snuff, and they started from scratch. This is bad for compounding reasons. If this is better than the original scripts how the fuck were the original scripts allowed to get to the point of them filming before the reset button was hit. Why is the Lucasfilm story group even a thing? They are supposed to be there to prevent gaping plot holes being present. WTF? Are they doing some "did the devs even read the wiki" before releasing Mass Effect 3 type of shit? Edited May 30, 2022 by Darc_Requiem Hecatom, TheInfernoman and OPTIMUS124 2 1 Quote Link to comment

I really think that they got cocky and made a thing without any real thought put into it. After seeing Top Gun Maverick, it just brings The Force Awakens down another peg. Either TFA was a poorly constructed sequel or TGM has enough examples of "what not to do" that it was practically the perfect revival.

After Moses Ingram—who plays former Jedi-turned-Imperial Inquisitor Reva Sevander in Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi—received racist and hateful messages online following the May 27 series premiere, the franchise stood up for her on social media. This is literally the first few lines. She was getting hate, and they put out those statements. Unless the article is wrong, this isn't them deflecting criticism. It's them saying "fuck off" to racists plain and simple. Edited June 1, 2022 by axeman61 OPTIMUS124, KimuraLOX, RSG3 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment
iStu X Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) I mentioned this on discord and I stand by it Quote I don’t think she’s (Moses Ingram) all that great, tbh. I know she’s classically trained actress and has been in all these great things. Which is fine and great. But all her lines are just so cringely delivered to me and she steals the scenes for all the wrong reasons. it was genuinely a struggle to get through her scenes because they were so horrible to me. You can be a great actor/actress in one aspect, genre whatever but be shit in others. No actor is perfect. I don’t really think she fits Star Wars.

axeman61 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 And THAT's fine. That's criticism. The shit Moses was getting that inspired Disney to tweet that stuff out was not that, if I'm getting the sequence of events right. Hecatom, RSG3 and OPTIMUS124 2 1 Quote Link to comment
