JCC Embrace The FU - Formerly the STAR WARS IS BAD thread

That would be the reference there, yes.

 

oops I actually broke the reference, it's not like you'd be slapping yourself

 

I like Cad Bane’s hat

 

I understood that reference !

 

WTF is a Cad Bane?? Is it like a chocolate Bane mask made by Cadbury's?

 

It is a joke from lit. You are correct.

 

Yes, they traditionally only sell them in the weeks leading up to July 20th to commemorate the beloved and well-known holiday Dark Knight Rises Day.

 

I'd rather the fate of Ventress be addressed, instead of the story they had written for the show being relegated to a novel.

Bane it seems was meant to die in a shoot-out with Boba, but since that never happened in the show there's no reason he can't appear in Bad Batch

 

He's the Mayor of Serpindal.

 

Isn't he Count of Serenno?

 

Oh I didn't realise you had a law degree from Dunning and Kruger University. Prestigious.

In any event that's not an appeal to authority. It would have required me to state those films are better because they have more consistently strong polling data. I did not do this. I instead framed it as the basis for a challenge to your statement about ROTS, which you presented as fact.

It's interesting, the way you handle challenges. Reminiscent of butter in the midday sun.

Seeing that a lot. It helps in perpetuating the status of "victim". Step 1 is to misrepresent something; Step 2 is to highlight how unreasonable the misrepresentative strawman is, and Step 3 play the victim beset by unreasonable (and misrepresented) strawmen (and women).

Darth Mischievous would have been proud.

 

When you know your author is a D&D Writer, exhibit A: the mayor of Sernpidal.

 

Exhibit B: Themes are for eighth-grade book reports.

 

Hey there were themes in the Icewind Dale trilogy.

Like. Um.

"Barbarians together strong".

 

I was making a joke about "D&D" using David Benioff's infamous quote.

 

Hey, the book had the first real map of the SW galaxy. The novel itself was just an "extra feature" as far as I was concerned.

 

“It only takes one author to force multiple generations of rules sets to struggle with duel wielding.”

 

Oh. Well look, there's this onyx figure of a panther, see...

"He's a ranger but has levels of barbarian and fighter... huh? Dual wields scimitars? Ok whatever..."

 

Mate I don’t really care for you to make a substantive argument. This all blew up because, while I was saying that you’re not part of the group that Ender was accusing you of being within, I said I think you’re prone to hyperbole. I think you are. Clearly you think the same about me given my thoughts on RJs filmmaking abilities. Unlike you however I’d rather discuss the issue rather than be upset that you think it’s hyperbolic. You then proved my point by misrepresenting the points I made regarding the toxic fans on YouTube. This blew up for no reason other than you’d rather focus upon the fact I think you’re prone to hyperbole rather than the actual arguments I made (spoken as someone who is a PT fan and has a massive amount of respect for Filoni).

 

Yes. He hasn't even directed a film. May as well say he's a genius in synchronized swimming. He has 6 directing credits - all of them cartoon tv shows apart from a total of 3 episodes of a live-action show. On one occasion, a bunch of the very worst of his cartoons were slapped together & released theatrically. That's not a real film, & in any case it was terrible. I think you should reserve "genius filmmaker" for Kubrick or his ilk. For Filoni, how about "adequate cartoonist"?

 

I should make clear that I don’t think Filoni isn’t a genius filmmaker because I don’t like his work. I don’t think that because it devalues the best filmmakers who I think were and are geniuses; Kubrick, Bergman, Tarkovsky, Eisenstien, Goddard, Hitchcock, etc.

 

kUbRiCk Is NoThInG cOmPaReD tO fILOnI

 

Kubrick could never have made a good SW movie tho.

 

If a fan said Filoni you're a film-making genius he might react angrily thinking that they're mocking him.
