The thing is, I have to agree that America is facing crises like in the Prequels. A massive, uncaring, incompetent bureaucracy fails to stop corporations from acting like pseudo-sovereign entities and instead of trying to uphold the founding ideals of the Republic, a massive military-industrial complex is built to wage interstellar war for no other purpose than to ensure the power of the most selfish and cruel people ever.
George Lucas is friends with Obama and voted for Hillary Clinton, please stop pretending he's a wise political counselor
I'm no fan of his politics either, but the parallels between his movies and the Roman Republic are hard to ignore... and because America modeled itself after Rome, we're having similar problems.
to be fair that as much as most normies know about FF.
most people were oogling the booba and were surprised to actually see an attractive female for a change (doubt there are a lot who'd call janina gavankar ugly).In relation to what I said before about shills and their reaction to Disney OCs, I still remember when DICE made the big reveal for Inferno Squad at E3 years ago and everyone there and online started cooming after one of the voice actors showed up on stage and announced her character's name, with everyone reacting as if this was some long lost beloved character "OMG I can't believe its Iden Versiowho! She's back!" You dumb nogs, she was invented for the game that was just getting revealed.
Yet everything he basically showed with the Prequels about modern America hit the bullseye. And his friendship with Obama and Clinton are superficial at best, when his politics are closer to that of Alex Jones. To the point where Jones IS a big fan of the Prequels because of that:
You know why they slapped the film with the Final Fantasy title. Come on.
Ironically enough, they should have just pushed for these new sci-fi flicks instead of trying to take Star Wars. They'd be richer and less hated by fans. Instead of buying Star Wars, they could've made this generation's equivalent of Star Wars, like how Halo, Mass Effect, Starcraft, Transformers, and Gundam became fat and wealthy from taking the SW formula and adding their own changes and ideas onto it.
And a diverse group of zealots is indoctrinating small children while all this is happening.
I haven't noticed any difference, it still seems about the same level to me. Fairly good for TV, definitely not movie-level. The compositing in the residential/amnesty areas of Coruscant felt a bit off though I'll grant you that. I also couldn't help but think of Andor during those sections despite not watching the show itself.
John Carter's biggest problem as a film was it tried to cram about 1.5 books worth into a film at once IMO. This is especially bad since the vast majority of people are not going to be familiar with the setting, so you can actually take the relatively short story and build up the setting, and its characters so you give a shit. Adding in Matai Shang and the Therns was a stupid move, since the audience ain't gonna know about that shit, and you have a lot of characters to build on already. Like no one but fans like me are going to know what the fuck a Jeddak is, who the Tharks are, and other shit. You need to establish that shit, especially for a franchise as niche as John Carter.
Holy shit, they actually cancelled something at one season. That actually surprises me, since usually if it ain't contracts it's spite that forces companies to make one more season of garbage.
Pour one out for the few people who actually gave a shit. It's not the 80's anymore, you can't expect gold from franchises this dated.
