Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Creep3r]

Jesus Christ you had me worried that this was about the new Doom game. I'm glad it's just a shitty literally who movie. It's getting savaged across the board too.


Holy shit, when did this happen? I'm glad, synthetic lightsaber crystals were baller, and it fit the motif of the Sith better than the bleeding idea, which made no sense when you put any thought into it (like why red is such an ebul color that crystals can be any color of the rainbow except that one).

They kinda alternate back and forth with this piece of Disney lore. It started in the first Marvel Vader comics everyone had a ridiculous hard-on for. Whenever I brought up how silly the new origin for sith lightsabers was I would just get shot down because it "totally makes more sense now that lightsabers are almost alive and can cry and bleed". Some people have a hard-on for the idea of lightsabers being portable waifus. Essentially, Disney canon is that siths can't naturally connect with lightsaber crystals so they rape them with hateful emotions to violate them and make them red. For example, Kylo Ren is so angry and butthurt that his lightsaber crystal is super raped and that's why it needs vents, but before they claimed it was because it was poorly constructed, but then it was because his crystal is actually cracked and broken which causes it to release too much energy.

Synthetic kyber crystal

Synthetic kyber crystals, also known as synthcrystals, were artificial kyber crystals whose synthetic nature made them highly unstable and explosive. Synthetic kyber crystals were artificial kyber crystals, Force-attuned crystals that were used by the Jedi and Sith in the construction of their...

Sith lightsaber

Sith lightsabers, also known as Sith sabers and sometimes referred to as laser swords, were the lightsabers wielded by members of the Sith. They were constructed through methods similar to those used by other Force-sensitives, but the underlying philosophy was different. Unlike users of the...

starwars.fandom.com

The discrepancies can be blamed on Marvel as well as Pablo fucking Hidalgo. Even though Galaxy's Edge which is also 100% canon goes back to red crystals being synthetic and still being red despite not being force raped by siths and sold by the dozens. But at the same time, they're still said to be natural in a contradictory fashion and that red crystals are essentially rape victims and a red crystal is seen as a crime against the Force, yet Mr. Ondar and the lightsaber shop which claim to honor the ways of the jedi have no problem handing out red crystals by the dozens, most of which they make themselves. And even if you make a red saber at the lightsaber shop, Yoda's voice will be heard upon completing it and he will praise you for effectively raping a crystal and committing jedi taboo. I'm certain nobody but Pablo Hidalgo gives a shit about consistency and even Hidalgo's obsession over this seems more like him just happy that he can enforce his own headcanon without limits.

It is so weird. Nothing in Star Wars ever gave any indication that lightsabers were treasured buddies that every Jedi had a personal connection to. They were tools that were to be respected, but they were just tools. Not even going into EU material, Anakin implies he's lost a bunch of lightsabers in AOTC and definitely doesn't seem to care about retrieving his old lightsaber when he chops Luke's hand off, which makes it hilarious that his kajillionth is considered to be some Excalibur type of weapon.

Lucas was involved very heavily with the Shadows of the Empire project, and that was where the idea of colored lightsaber crystals and synthetic crystals came from, right? Luke actually made a synthetic crystal for his.

 

[Relic 31]

Yeah, if I remember correctly Luke created his synthetic green crystal in Ben’s hut when constructing his new lightsaber.

The crystal color being influenced by the owners personality is so dumb. I’m fine with certain colors being chosen by the creator to signify personal philosophies, just user preference or even different colors granting advantages or disadvantages to the saber blade being generated, but having them alter color due to some sort of force bond like it is alive is weird.

At the end of the day a lightsaber should just be a weapon that has a storied history and specific construction requirements, and while it could be built or used by anyone it is most effective in the hands of a trained Jedi or Sith being assisted by the force.

I remember reading that when Dooku became a Sith and started using a synthetic red crystal, it increased the cutting power of the blade, but decreased the maneuverability.

 

[Poe-Shen Zcela]

It looked cool in the Marvel comics. Watching Vader play through the fantasy scenario where he kills Palpatine right, then refuse it and turn the crystal red in a DBZ lightshow, made for good dramatic fodder. It was like a dark initiation ritual. I thought it was fair enough, but not something you'd really need lore rape revision to accomplish. Plus hearing you guys describe it as crystal rape and implying they have personalities is pretty gay, so yeah. Burn it all.

they don't, just like the average mainstream crowd anywhere else. but they also don't care much about star wars. the ones that do are the nerd crowd, which have a higher standard.

Yeah, we're pretty exacting about our nerd entertainment. The high bars to success are:

1. Please stay consistent with what came before
2. Please don't shit on our heroes
3. Please give us something new and exciting

I know this takes excruciating effort, but art without pain is trash.

Reylos on fucking suicide watch. This'll be like Trump 2016 all over again, get the stretchers and popcorn.

Wow who'da thought I would be genuinely pumped to see the coming trailer?

Not because of any expectation of quality ofcourse, but when that moment comes when exogol gets namedropped by the ghost of luke at the end of the trailer....I want to see this thread burn with unrestrained horror and disappointment

Now THIS is meta-entertainment!

They fucking replaced Doomguy with a woman. Why? No reason. Same reason Disney replaced Luke with a girl. No reason.

Oh, there was a reason:

Joan Dark is based off of Joan of Arc. The path he took to deciding this, according to him, was by observing that if there are demons, there must also be angels. Who better to fight demons than an angel? So who was a good warrior figure I learned about in Catholic school? Oh, Joan of Arc!

He also later justifies the decision by saying that the last Doom movie didn't do well with a male lead, so he figured the studio would be more open to a female lead.

So essentially it's bullshit, but props to the man for copping to it and agreeing to an interview. There's other good bits in there too, like at 12:15 where Mr H asks him about the Twitter post that got backlash. The director explains it as having been her idea and coming from her Scottish sense of humor, wherein she likes to bust peoples' balls. He then admits that she probably wouldn't have done it had she known there would be such a backlash. I don't buy it, but okay. Maybe that's how she feels. Wonder how they felt about all the ball-busting they got in return.

So... should I bring up everything on this shitty game? Continue my expose/criticisms of Disney aliens or finish up what I never finished about Galaxy's Edge?

Might as well. I'm not really interested in playing it, but I'm curious to see what's in it. EckhartsLadder posted a video recently with a title/thumbnail that said "BETTER than UNLEASHED?!?!?!?"

The man has to be the biggest cuck in Lucasfilm. Best of luck to him on the job market.

 

[Dom Cruise]

I swear, they're trying to kill nerd culture. DOOM, Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who, Stargate, Marvel, there's a Dune movie coming 2020, Ghostbusters, Men In Black, I feel like there was a Predator movie with some Mary Sue girl, am I misremembering that? Edit: And like DOOM, Wolfenstein got wokeified, and the list just goes on and on. 40k is starting to fall to the infection and I don't know how much longer we can hold before diving back under.

They're trying to do everything they can to completely ruin western nerd culture.

But at least Japanese nerd culture keeps on keeping on, unaffected by SJWs, though they sure are trying.

[Dom Cruise]

I don’t see the likes of Kamen Raider, Super Sentai, and Ultraman catering to SJWs.

Or anything else from Japan.

I mean part of the reason why is because there's no need for it, there's always been plenty of anime and manga aimed at a female audience, there's just no political pretensions to it.

For some reason in the west it's got to be one way or the other, if you want a female audience, that can only be done by excluding males.

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

I swear, they're trying to kill nerd culture

Because "nerd culture" is now Twitchthots and other "lol such a nerdy gamer gurrrrrl" types, their soyboy beta orbiters, and troons like Brianna Wu, and thus every product needs to dumbed down and remade for this crowd as they watch Big Bang Theory surrounded by Funkopops. It's the "gentrification of nerd culture" so to speak. The unfortunate part is that it isn't limited to shit like Star Wars and superhero comics (which have always been mainstream cultural icons) but instead seeps into practically everything.

They're trying to do everything they can to completely ruin western nerd culture.

But at least Japanese nerd culture keeps on keeping on, unaffected by SJWs, though they sure are trying.

They have China to worry about since PR China is an increasingly large market for anime (probably toku too but I'm not sure) and even makes their own stuff. But the only thing SJWs agree with China about is that fanservice is bad. China doesn't seem to go for the generic "strong wahmenz protagonist", nor do they like ugly characters, and they definitely don't like homos.

[Poe-Shen Zcela]

So Pablo locked his Twitter account a couple weeks ago, shortly after he got salty about the backlash to the Pitina May-May Vore character. This didn't do anything though, since people were still dunking on him when he responded to Dataracer and Jimmy Mac from Rebel Force Radio, both of whom were castigating him for retweeting somebody bashing Star Wars fans as incels/misogynists or something. So he decided to implement a blockchain that blocked half his followers, including several of his hack shills and white knights.

Naturally this led to some hurt feelings and funny responses, like this one from Jason Ward of MakingStarWars:



Wew. Shots fired.

Reminder that this is the set-dwelling gremlin that probably orchestrated the "racist harassment of Kelly Marie Tran"--including making the Ching Chong edits on Wookiepedia himself--and the one who may have direct ties to Kathleen Kennedy. The relationship between them being that he carries out hate hoaxes like "the black stormtrooper controversy" and the KMT one to deflect fan hate, and she gives him access to inside scoops to help promote the films and his own website above other fan sites.

On that note:



What did he mean by this?

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

I know there's selling at a loss, but is there a term for something that is bought out as a "surefire failure" but pitched as the companies newfound vision for the product/service? Because putting the useful idiots within and without production aside, I feel like Iger always knew Star Wars would be a loss for them regardless of planning.

Admittedly, the only thing about these movies I've paid the most attention to is the drama surrounding them, it's not even a required watch to understand what goes on in each movie, except for maybe Rogue One.

 

[Poe-Shen Zcela]

Loss leader comes to mind. Star Wars has cinematic prestige and geek appeal. Maybe buying it for Disney is some sort of business or career cachet. If you own and run that, what couldn't you buy or run? That's my guess.

I got really, really drunk last night and my cousin and I spent like an hour shitting all over Disney before trying to come up with something better for nu-wars. Why they didnt just use the Imperial Remnant and have them in a tense truce with the New Republic have the galaxy split in half with DMZ's and have the First Order and Resistance as militant factions trying to start shit again I will never understand. The shrieking purple hairs still want Leia and Han to be divorced or whatever? Maybe the First Order attacked Luke's Jedi Order and Han blames the First Order, maybe he thinks Luke and Ben died in the attack and wants them to pay so he starts up the Resistance while Leia thinks keeping the peace is more important than revenge and goes against her husband/baby daddy, leading them to be split up while both having understandable, sympathetic viewpoints.

Hell have Finn be a Remnant stormtrooper sent to work with Poe to hunt down both the First Order and the Resistance for some Odd Couple shenanigans too. I'd watch a stormtrooper and a republic pilot become BFF's while hunting space terrorists

 

[WaltherPPGAY]

What did he mean by this?

I'm honestly split.

I'm starting to wonder if the whole Exogol thing is gay ops in the vein of the JJ shilling post. The fact that the leak connects the ending so clearly to Korra's past avatar bit feels a bit like the whole thing may be a setup to point to any opposition as merely misogyny.

 

[Jub-Jub]

Sneak peak of the upcoming trailer

I thought reshoots were said to be finished over a month ago? It feels like the are going the school assignment route and the movie will be complete minutes before it's due.

I feel like there was a Predator movie with some Mary Sue girl, am I misremembering that?

The latest had Olivia Munn with 2 MS traits that i can remember, but i also only half watched it on a movie night and think it was just shit writing rather than an agenda. That movie also had last minute reshoots, that didn't work, to try and fix a trashfire. You could probably go back and find Shane Black telling the same pr lies that JJ is now pushing for his trashfire.

 

[Secret Asshole]

Because "nerd culture" is now Twitchthots and other "lol such a nerdy gamer gurrrrrl" types, their soyboy beta orbiters, and troons like Brianna Wu, and thus every product needs to dumbed down and remade for this crowd as they watch Big Bang Theory surrounded by Funkopops.

But the only thing SJWs agree with China about is that fanservice is bad. China doesn't seem to go for the generic "strong wahmenz protagonist", nor do they like ugly characters, and they definitely don't like homos.

Its why I'm praying for 'nerd culture's inevitable collapse.

If China would only get on the fan-service bandwagon...but China's aversion to fanservice is because women should behave more modestly. It has absolutely nothing to do with SJW motivations and is basically the polar opposite. China loves big tits and shit, but just wants clothes on them. Also China wants ATTRACTIVE women. They outright reject ugly people. If you read comments on China's moviegoers to TFA, they were mocking how everyone in the movie was ugly as fuck. That's why its bombed into the ground.

Releasing shitty Star Wars novels isn't going to do anything as Japanese/Chinese light novels based on Anime/Manga are FAR more popular. With China also producing their own shit, they're going to have to compete. And God fucking help us if a Western Entertainment company's product is WORSE than a product that comes out of the most censored place on Earth next to North Korea.

Star Wars is a failure in China, will always be a failure in China as long as they try for the SJW crowd. It will NOT work. Rey has to be hot. There has to be a ton of white people. No gays. No blacks. 50/50 split of Chinamen and Whites, sexy people, then you'll get China. You will not get China as a diverse tranny PoC disabled coalition of fat ugly faggots.

You know what's the really sad and/or possibly odd coincidence behind the main character's name for that abomination? It's oddly close to the protagonists name for the great N64 fps Perfect Dark (i.e. Joanna Dark). Which begs the question...why didn't they just make a Perfect Dark movie?
