Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Creep3r]

I call complete bs on that. How could it be "damaging" to have fired KK after Solo or right now? How could it be any worse than KK firing Lord and Miller when they were almost done making Solo themselves or her firing Colin Trevorrow and ask JJ to come back? How does she get away with clearly making bad decisions but Iger can't fire the twit because "current year" (even though another female Disney executive responsible for the rides or parks was fired not that long ago)? It's bullcrap, and I refuse to believe she has enough friends in the media to come to her defense, at least not anymore (to be honest I think JJ probably has more friends in the media then she does). The only drama I could see is that if KK goes, then all the yes-men and women she employed may go with her which as far as I'm concerned would be a good thing overall since they were clearly part of the problem in the first place though it might not look so great for the media that the "all female" story group were fired/quit because KK was thrown under the bus.

True enough, they had no qualms about firing that female park exec, but then again she wasn't as well known as Kennedy or had as much presence in media as her. But still this whole shit surrounding Kennedy is absolutely mind-boggling. Even before TLJ, she had problems and a lot of negative shit surrounding her, and after the clusterfuck that was Solo's production and overall performance, that should've been all the incentive they needed to kick her to the curve. But they didn't get rid of her. So what the hell is keeping Kennedy so damn safe? And why are people so defensive of reviews towards Star Wars to the point where its as though negative reception is the same as neo-nazis burning down KFCs? I mean GoT season 8 was almost just as hyped as nu-Wars, but no one treated critics and haters of GoT as if they were nazis.

I can.

If they just shitcanned her outright, there would be a furor. She is one of the few female high level executives and the rabid defending of her post-TLJ makes removing her outright... problematic. Expect a very large, very vocal backlash from the left.This, hot on the heels of a major under-performer, would cause investor flight which would severely damage the brand.

This being said, she is getting shitcanned. It'll just be quiet. She'll be pressured to resign, probably with some flowery language about how now that the trilogy is wrapped up she feels she is no longer needed to steward Lucas' vision or some shit. If she refuses, which is possible, she'll be bumped to a role far away from movie production, professional siberia effectively.

Most in the thread have said that its possible that she'll be "promoted" to a position in FOX that's very out of the way and harmless in order to save face, but to be frank I would love it if she were outright kicked out or set to some lowly position.

 

[Cpl. Long Dong Silver]

Everyone is talking about firing KK and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the toilet dude.

They made a dude whose brain is in a stinkditch!

This is body horror on par with Cronenburg.

 

[Pumpkin Girl IRL]

Save yourself some grief and spend money on Jedi: Fallen Order instead. Better star wars story and doesn't make you fat like a coke and popcorn would.

 

[Polyboros2]

Unfortunately, I don't think anything over 150 million is a win. It's definitely bad, and will surely cost Disney, but I don't think it's bad enough for drastic changes.

We'll have to see how the second weekend drop off goes. If it has a especially significant drop off and does much worse in the long game then TLJ then maybe heads will roll, but I'm currently expecting the blame to be shifted of who and how they are making the movie, and the trend to continue.

You should've seen the other headless freaks in Disney Wars.

These horrors were from Rogue One and Solo too (they were also going to be in TLJ but were replaced with a girl with an empty head piloted by a shrimp).

They're supposed to be a "more effective" replacement to droids. Literally how? Wouldn't maintaining these horrors be infinitely more expensive than droids? They're not even implied to be used as hookers, just as waitresses, so no fucking allowed. Also these things are used as servants in this "Holy City" that was the most popular tourist spot in the galaxy in Disney canon. That's like people happily going to Israel despite it being full of headless undead screaming muslims walking around serving you tea. What the fuck Disney.

This is the kind of shit I would expect some evil fetishistic villain to have, not some droid alternative that's actually fucking popular across the galaxy outside the criminal underworld.

 

[Emperor Julian]

I'm not going to lie, I wouldnt drink in a pub with those things in. I'm really not up for some cyberpunk horror on saturday night. Whoever thought those things up for a light hearted family fun has some real issues.

 

[ZMOT]

The spider-man movies.

Two separate Terminator attempts (And probably the last one too)

X-men

What do these all have in common? Well, when they under performed, or outright bombed, the studios that made them simply ignored the prior movies and made new ones.

comic book movies are known to have whatever canon they want. the source itself is all over the place so if movies do it no one cares. in other cases like terminator it was "franchise: subtitle". there is no official terminator 4.
meanwhile we have episode 7-9, making an episode VII 2.0 would look absolutely retarded and not fool anyone.

besides, what could you do with it? carrie fisher is dead, harrison ford didn't even want to do the first sequels, hamill got shit on left and right he probably left the role behind him to move on. we had one chance of a proper reunion, and disney blew it, and for that I will always shit on them.
and lets say they put it 50 or 100 years in the future, who's gonna care? why call it episode X when it's just some randoms? because no one gives a fuck about poe or finn's possible offspring, and jarjar fucked it with killing off kylo (imagine the spergout of reylos when she has someone else's kid), and even then it would not be a skywalker but a fucking palpatine. in that regard TROS fucked any future sequels even more than TLJ did.

you can bet your ass they let the IP cool of a bit with lower budget disney+ shit that even when it flops can be sold as a loss-leader for the streaming platform to shareholders, and then in a few years they gonna rape the old republic because it has all the options and the fans are pretty much done with everything after ep6

Slave women without brains. How woke.

 

[Cyril Sneer]

When the original Ghostbusters first came out, the neighborhood kids tried to come up with our silliest parody of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Our youthful collaboration resulted in the idea of a ghostly sentient toilet (simply named "toilet man") that spoke by flapping its lid open and shut and attacked foes with "bowl breath."

Did your parents work for Kenner?

 

[Violence Jack]

These movies are made bad on purpose guys. It's not fucking fumbling. It's knowingly allowing this shit to happen. You think piscey one of the biggest media empires with a near limitless pool of talented people couldn't crack the code of space wizard films for children? You're being fooled by thinking that money is the goal. They've gotten to the point where the money doesn't matter anymore. They already have more money than god and they're going to make it hand over fist regardless of how the reception is. This is what's important for these corporations. Controlling the narrative lasts longer than making a few bucks. Creating a slave to your products ensures you never go hungry.

Those may honestly be the most disturbing thing I've ever seen associated with Star Wars, and I'm probably the world's second-biggest fan of the Yuuzhan Vong.

 

[Shroom King]

Not that I'm a Reylo shipper (far from it), but Ben dying has got to be the most predictable shit ever.

I haven't watched TROS but I simply don't see how you could conclude this trilogy without Ben meeting a bad end. The guy kills his dad, his master and tried to kill his previous master. It's the same reason why a lot of people didn't mind seeing Anakin get amputated and burned alive at the end of ROTS: because he was such a huge prick in the prequel trilogy. Fuck Prequel Anakin and fuck Kylo Ren. To me, the TRUE and HONEST Anakin was played by Sebastian Shaw in ROTJ.

I think we had this toy (or at least my older brother did). Man, this takes me back.

They tried to give him redemption through sacrifice, but it sucked ass. The only way he could have gone out positively is if he sacrificed his life to kill Palpatine like Vader/Anakin did. That would be a completion of his arc where he desired to be like his grandfather. But they couldn't have that because it would mean a FUCKING WHITE MALE doing something useful.

 

[Creep3r]

And this is the one that replaced them for TLJ.

Doesn't look as disturbing as the headless girls, but I'm not even sure what the hell this is since there's no production or lore info on this thing. Like what the fuck am I looking at? Is it a shrimp alien that scooped out some girl's brain and turned her body into a vehicle (I don't know why Finn is amazed since he could be next) or is this an actual nu-species with see-through heads that lead to another dimension like that time alien guy in Men in Black 3?

OI M8 U AVIN A GIGGLE?!

 

[Ghostse]

Just curious, why did so many here rush to see it on its opening weekend?

Seems there's a lot of "it sucks, I knew it would suck". The problem is that your money does more talking on opening weekend.

Abused wife syndrome.

Just enough of a head to give head. It's the perfect woman.

Thanks, it's a lot easier to tolerate the picture quality of this version.

Now if only I could tolerate the movie itself.
