HD-Man Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) I liked the Nanomachines although I wished I he'd use the explanation more sparingly, but it made sense in their tech based world. There's still that unexplained supernatural element in there tho, I don't think they explained how The Sorrow became a ghost who developed powers to fuck with the living. EDIT: Fortune also had latent psychic abilities independent of tech too right before she died MGS is Technology and supernatural bullshit clashing in harmony, I'm good with it lol Edited November 2, 2021 by HD-Man Wellman, RSG3, Hecatom and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment
Hawkingbird Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) The nanomachines were dumb in some many instances. Like when Naomi shut down her nanos that put her cancer into remission to kill herself.

RSG3 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Personally I don't care about the Nanomachines explination because Kojimas actual commentary was never about Nanomachines themselves but about the effect of tech on War. That's why most his weird shit never had an explination to begin with, it wasn't the point, his attention was squarely focuse on a different subject. And also because Metal Gear is a soap opera for men so asspulls are to be expected after a certain amount of time. Hecatom and DarkSakul 2 Quote Link to comment

Not against Frank or even Big Boss who did him the ultimate dirty. Snake always knew how to put himself in someone else's shoes and understand their motivations. He may not be friends whith her but he wouldn't pass on her expertise when innocent lives are on the line. That would be the Grade A bullshit move from Snake imo.

As a life long fan of serial fiction who watches soap operas on days off and reads comic books (Western and manga), nano machines are not even the top twenty ass pull explanations for bullshit I have seen or read. Although real talk a particular character punching a dimensional barrier so hard that it resurrected another character in another dimension still is my personal "You made us all dumber by introducing this element" even if I do like the character they brought back and how he fits.

I think this show will exceed the Mandalorian. At least from the onset, this doesn't appear to be a fetch quest. The only thing that I think Mando's got over this is the fight choreography. The start of that one scene gave me some Taken 3 fence vibes. Quote Link to comment
Wellman Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 It was fine. Spoiler It didn't have the spectacle that the first episode of Mando had with it's shoot out and Baby reveal but the escape plus the multiple armed sand creature were cool. See Bobba so clearly not know the rules of his new position now annoying to watch and I hope they make that story line better cause at this point I feel like Shan would be the better leader for a crime organization.

Darc_Requiem Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 So am I the only one... Spoiler That thinks the Tuskan in all black is a woman? I could be wrong but something about the way they move gives me that impression. Boba's flashback with the Tuskans was highly entertaining. I almost didn't want to have any of the run time taken up by the present. Single handedly bopping a speeder gang, jacking their speeders, teaching the Tuskan's how to use them, and then jacking a train "stage coach" style. Sign me up for more of that.

Darc_Requiem Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) I missed this but I just found it out. Spoiler The bar Boba goes into is Tosche Station and the two humans he saves are Luke's friends Camie and Fixer. The characters originally appeared in Episode IV but were in a deleted scene. Camie is apparently Luke's childhood crush. Favreau knows his shit. It's fucking awesome when someone that cares about Star Wars makes Star Wars. People figured it out due to the subtitles. Since their names aren't said aloud. Here is a pic from the deleted scene.

More over, they even designed the set to look the same as the original Tosche Station set.

OPTIMUS124 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) This most recent ep felt more like it was building something to say the least. I didn't find the "bigger" action sequence all that interesting. I would like to seeing what's next though but I have a feeling that it's not going to do anything mind-blowing. I just hope there are a few surprises in the next few eps. That said, I'm ready to get away from this "era" of Star Wars. So far, my favorite new story (outside of the main films) is Jedi: Fallen Order. Edited January 15, 2022 by OPTIMUS124 Darc_Requiem 1 Quote Link to comment
Darc_Requiem Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 While I enjoyed parts of it, Episode 3 was the weakest in the season thus far. I see where they are going and if they stick the landing it will really pay off but they really need to stick the landing. The "high speed" chase seemed like anything but. Black Krrsantan's sequence could have been done better. The average wookie is strong. Krrsantan isn't average. He's expectational and he has enhancements. The way the fight was choreographed, Boba should have died three times over. OPTIMUS124 1 Quote Link to comment

I do believe that staying where we are holds the saga back. You're waiting for your favorite toy to come out of the toy chest at any moment. Yeah, it gets hype levels to maximum, but the narrative relies on nostalgia. If they were to continue, I'd rather have stories that dive into other parts of the Galaxy that we really haven't seen without it being a fetch quest.
