Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Cactuar King]

Ahsoka will be next up on the chopping block.

I wish. No, Filoni will make sure that his rancid little pet character takes over as the face of Star Wars.

Ironically, Ahsoka would have made herself useful at the end of Book of Boba Fett. Instead, she let a baby get into an X-wing and travel to Tatooine on his own like an asshole.

Figures that the one time Filoni decides not to overindulge in his orange waifu is the one time it actually makes sense to do so, at least in the context of that show. There's no reason for Baby Yeed to have been there other than the lowest hanging fruit of fanservice wiping out any semblance of character development from the end of Mando.

I don't like the SW Rebels artstyle.

Do they clap and screech for every new frame that comes into view? Because holy fuck those people are unbelievably obnoxious. I never understood that level of fandom to be honest. But I guess for Disney these are the people that'll keep swallowing the shit they are shovelling down their throat, show after show, movie after movie.

Random tangent but I recently watched the Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers movie last night because I was looking forward to how bad it was. I was disappointed because it was just mediocre. The one thing that stuck out to me was how people are reacting to it online. The movie reminded me of TFA and TLJ in that aspect.

Disney made another badly written cynical piece of nostalgia bait full of references to things and people ate it the fuck up. It's just like I said a few posts ago, people just want to clap at things they recognize. When people talk about the movie they don't really bring up the story or the characters, just the references and jokes. Just like how people who like Disney Wars like it for the references no matter how badly written it is. Disney has not learned anything from their ownership of Lucasfilm and Star Wars at all. But at the same time, why would they? The only real film flop they had was Soylo. TROS capped off the ultimate piece of shit movie trilogy and it still made a billion. Sure Kennedyfilm is a separate studio but my point still stands.

Kenobi is unfortunately going to succeed just because of this. The memberberries are too strong even if everything else is low quality.

the difference is that CnD is a sequel to a 40 year 65-episode cartoon and is blatantly meta, its like if galaxy quest was a literal TNG film. whatever precious EU there was is intact, beyond that its not like CnD was a huge franchise, literally just 65 episodes,

It's been said that pop culture is on a thirty-year time loop (decent article when it doesn't go full Orange Man Bad, and also climate change for some reason), where it takes about thirty years for people who were fans of something at a particular time to get into a position where they can then create their own works based on their nostalgia. Thus, the 2020s are going to be primarily focused on 90s reboots, much like the 2010s were where we had 80s nostalgia overload. This isn't an exact science or anything, which is why we saw some 90s remakes in the 10s, or things like the Transformers movies beginning in the mid-aughties, but it's a general pattern.

I think it's something that we notice more and more due to the nature of the studios today, constantly taking the safest bets and never trying anything new. It could be a function of there being less media out there in the past, but it seems a lot of older creators would produce media based on things they were nostalgic for without flat-out remaking them. George Lucas initially wanted to do a Flash Gordon movie because he had been inspired by those old serials when he was younger, but when he couldn't get the rights, he worked to develop his own take on similar ideas, and that's how we got Star Wars. Modern studios care solely about having a recognizable brand to market to consoomers, and they'll throw any hack director at the project to get asses in theaters or devices to stream.

I worry about what these trends mean for the future of pop culture. What is there to be inspired by with these soulless corporate cash grabs? Older, quality works still exist, of course, but what kid is going to go look for them, especially if they're not on streaming services (do kids even know what DVDs are anymore)? And even if they do, what hope do they have of getting an ambitious new idea out there when studios won't give them the time of day without a brand to sell to the masses? Will we just be in a continued slide down of ever-degrading reference-bait and nostalgia wanking, drowning in a sea of memberberries?

Sorry to be a downer, I just think about this stuff sometimes.

i remember reading about it being a 20 year loop, The "remember the 80s" bullshit started with The Wedding Singer in fucking 1998, its literally 25 years later and we're still raping 1980s IP, for fucks sake, Rescue Rangers only aired for one season in 1989, just because you caught it on reruns doesn't mean its not a 1980s series.

And i'm being so rude because i've been waiting for the 90s rape of pop culture, but unless its a flashback or a biopic media just doesn't give a fuck about this decade. you can pretty much count the amount of stuff set in this decade that isn't either of those two previos categories on about one hand. its apparently not popular with people. literally only one successful tv show was set in this era.

It is funny that they made this video and others like it, but liked the last Spider-Man movie which is all about "remember this old Spider-Man meme?"

i called that out in the RLM thread here, people weren't appreciating it

@Sneed F91

scooby doo and the gang were only all together in the 1970s, meaning those cartoon network reruns were 20+years old.

but more importantly that whole "nostalgia stops in the 1980s because pop culture became too fractued in the 90s" is bullshit. we still had a fuckload of beloved IPs that were popular then, like i'd see it if we were still only getting remakes and reboots of successful network shows and movies, but like i'm saying, CnD was a one season, 65-episode tv show from 1989. theres a fuck load of cartoons and tv shows that either had or surpassed that number of episodes that has yet to be raped.

thanks to streaming lowering the bar so much, we should have way more sequels and reboots of classic crap from 90s cable or syndication. If i had to guess its more likely that creators were a lot smarter with their IPs by the 90s, it was a lot easier to screw people like disney did lucas before it was extremely common to get a made-for-tv movie, sequel franchise, or 25th anniversary shows.

seriously though how has no one thought up to bring back those dirt cheap series like Xena or Farscape for a new generation to enjoy? people fucking love cheesy absurd shit way more now than ever.

I am happy to see more Liem neeson, and it would be cool to see some actual EU adaptations. but man obi wan looks so shit.

Im really wondering if they are going to create an AU happy ending or some shit with how badly they are mangling the lore.

Well, it was Lucas who started this "I'll cook a yummy breakfast for the vibrator for getting me off last night!" shit in the Phantom Menace when they thanked R2 after escaping the blockade on Naboo. This series seems to be Prequel Lucas on bath salts.

 

[The Ugly One]

Inquisitor Bitchface perpetually had a lightsaber stuck up her ass, not much to say there, except that at end the second episode the grand inquisitor tells her "I cannot risk you letting him get away" which is proceeded by her killing the grand inquisitor and letting Obi-wan get away, good job. For all the talk about strong female characters they sure can't write one that isn't a retard, but I guess her being impulsive was setup earlier so what do I know. Also her casually telling Obi-Wan about Anakin being Vader feels cheap, they could have had an actual moment out of it when Obi-wan and Vader meet face to face for the first time.

"Strong female character" just means "insufferable, angry bitch who knows she's better than everyone." It doesn't mean she has any particular strength of character.

It's just like I said a few posts ago, people just want to clap at things they recognize. When people talk about the movie they don't really bring up the story or the characters, just the references and jokes.

These sort of filmmakers and showrunners seem to live in symbiosis with a type of YouTubers who'll pause every frame to look for hidden easter eggs and make videos about them.

Holy shit Ellen Page looked so hot in that outfit, so why did she decided to troon out?

That huge ass forehead visible from space ruins it for me. That retarded former lesbian will learn soon enough that it's far more difficult to score some vag as a skinny manlet. Did she undergo phalloplasty yet? Consider it added, Dark Souls-level difficulty if yes because those hideous things look like hot dog buns.

Soy Wars has failed at one explicit goal. The toys don't sell. The OT and, yes, PT created new legions of child fans. The stories were always appealing to children (even if adults and adolescents largely hated the PT), and the toys sold like gangbusters. Note that today's nostalgia for the PT is largely from people who were in elementary school when Phantom Menace came out.

Soy Wars was supposed to do that. It failed, badly, because Kathleen Kennedy really doesn't care what kids (or anybody else) likes; the writers write stories to prove a point and play to Millennial shitlib political pieties, not entertain anybody. DO YOU REMEMBER BOBA FETT??? with zero other appeal sells to aging Xers and Millennials with nothing else going on. Kids don't care.

I nearly threw up after accidentally Google searching that (don't know why I was probably drunk) I'm so used to how it is in Futa Hentai where it literally grows out of the clitoris.

MATI rambling coming through.

I Also her casually telling Obi-Wan about Anakin being Vader feels cheap, they could have had an actual moment out of it when Obi-wan and Vader meet face to face for the first time.

You wanna know whats even funnier? In ROTS Kenobi learns that Anakin is Darth Vader after watching the securtiy footage and seeing Palpatine knighting Vader. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S0CE9yAjWs 50 seconds in.

"You have done well my new apprentice now Lord Vader"

So its obvious that the show writes couldn't give a enough of a fuck to watch the 3 movies this show is a sequel to. But what's even funnier is that they show part of this scene in the recap of Obi-wans life at the start of episode 1.

Disney all i excepted from this show was member berries and you can't even do that right. Just call up George and admit you were wrong. Cause even with all of the jew gold in hollywood you can't stop yourself from writing as cringy dialouge as him and what's even worse is that you can't even make a basic storyline without fucking up the basics.

[TheAmbiguousLurker]

I thought it was not that they knew who Leia really was but that her adoptive father knew and was friends with Obi-Wan and that they figured if they kidnapped his daughter he would call Obi-Wan for help.

Since when is Obi-Wan such good buddies with Bail that some chuckle fuck's plan can rely solely on the idea that not only is Bail still in contact with a jedi in hiding, but that Obi-Wan is the sole person Bail trusts to rescue his daughter from third-grade Bounty Hunters?

 

[Sneed F91]

@Kramer on the phone
I'd argue TLJ is damn near Galaxy Quest the Star Wars movie. It says Star Wars on it but it's like a parody made to take the piss out of of the entire franchise. I brought up CDRR because it came out the day I made the post and everyone was jerking it to the references in that movie. I'm pretty sure the show ran reruns through the 2000s and they've been trying to make a movie out of it since 2014 apparently. Now a week later nobody gives a shit. That, and Disney almost brought back every successful 90s cartoon they've had. Gargoyles and Darkwing Duck will unfortunately be next one day.

90s and 2000s nostalgia is happening right now. The waves never really "stop" but imo pop culture was fractured in the late 2000s thanks to the internet. Kenobi proves people have nostalgia for the prequels considering they brought Ewan and Hayden back. There will be a small group of people nostalgic for Disney's shitty SW sequels one day. The thing right now is we never moved past 80s nostalgia along with nostalgia for the 90s and 2000s. That would be like people in the 90s still being genuinely nostalgic for the 60s along with the 70s at the same time.

I don't know who owns the rights to Xena and Farscape but if they were owned by Disney I assure you we would have gotten shitty reboots or sequels of those things by now. It just depends who owns the rights. I have become entirely resistant to the idea of reboots/sequels/remakes of ANYTHING in general.

That huge ass forehead visible from space ruins it for me. That retarded former lesbian will learn soon enough that it's far more difficult to score some vag as a skinny manlet. Did she undergo phalloplasty yet? Consider it added, Dark Souls-level difficulty if yes because those hideous things look like hot dog buns.

Holy shit Ellen Page looked so hot in that outfit, so why did she decided to troon out?

Stop reminding me how cute I thought Ellen Page was in X-Men 3.

"I'll cook a yummy breakfast for the vibrator for getting me off last night!" shit in the Phantom Menace

uh, what scene in TPM was that? asking for a friend

Are there any article reporting current toy sales from the past few years? I only ask because I know toys for TROS completely ate shit in 2019 because of the films being as bad as they were, but I want to know if The Blandalorian is unsuccessful toy sale-wise too considering people still like that show.

Since when is Obi-Wan such good buddies with Bail that some chuckle fuck's plan can rely solely on the idea that not only is Bail still in contact with a jedi in hiding, but that Obi-Wan is the sole person Bail trusts to rescue his daughter from third-grade Bounty Hunters?

Since Obi Wan and Bail shared one entire scene together in ROTS. That means they're obviously very good friends

[UselessPieceOfShit]

You know, I don't mind this Inquisitor chick being black, hell, I wouldn't give two fucks if Disney made all-black tv show... But can we get a dark side woman who is actually dark side/imperial for once, and not "ooh, I have a tragic backstory and actually I'm good deep down". Like, c'mon. Back when I was a kid, I was an edgy fucker who loved Sith, I even made my own Sith OC, who was a badasss and edgy Sith woman. And I can't be the only one. Like, girls also love edgy shit. Boys had their Darth Mauls and whatnot. Of course, there were cool female baddies in EU, but still...
Phasma was a bitch-ass pussy, who got fucked in every single movie. This black chick is actually not on the dark side, it's complicated. It's like Disney is afraid of competent female villains. Thank God for EU, at least they had it right.

 

[Sneed F91]

I don't mind this Inquisitor chick being black

Nobody gave a damn in 2015 when it looked like the main characters of the sequels were going to be a black guy and a young woman. Turns out what we really got were some bitchy mary sue and a worthless uncle tom simp. Phasma was some annoying ass middle manager cunt who nobody cared about from the start. The fans got Boba Fett'd TWICE. The problem isn't who or what the actors are, it's that the writing is so god damned atrocious the characters might as well not even exist at all.

What toys? I mean it, what toys? I sure as hell don't notice any when I'm doing Christmas or birthday shopping, and nobody asks about them.
