Sci-Fi and Fantasy Thread - SPOILERS Part Two

[Flybynite]

In the Boba Fett finale the happiest part for me was

Spoiler

I kept saying "c'mon man. Let the Rancor get a snack already! and finally he got to eat a guy. cool

Spoiler: Fett

I wasn’t impressed with the series but the last three episodes were alright.
We have this lock down eyes here people there nothings getting in. Blue dude casually strolls down the middle of the avenue. Where’d he come from??
The mods were low level water thieves but yet are experts with their laser derringers. Freetown comes to the rescue by driving the speeder past a bunch of fortified positions and stopping by the mandos. Ok I can get behind that. But then they all get behind it two. That cluster is a dude with a grenades dream.
Then the mods come to the rescue by rushing right there too.
Fett spent no time with the rancor but suddenly rides it like a pro.
This is my town I’ll die to protect it. And destroy it in the process.
just a ton of head scratching decisions on the episode.

What the f*** was that spin move?

Spoiler: Spin

i f***ing forgot to mention that. I’m facing you already and in a hurry to make a shot but first let me spin 360°

Of all the mods, why wouldn’t the dude with the cyborg eye be the sniper?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Spoiler

Of course, f***ing Robert Rodriguez directed that, the total hack, but with that script Favreau just turned in something worse than his work on "Friends."

POINTLESS.

I pray to God that it has a point and furthers something in the universe.

Spoiler

it’s weird that Rodriguez’s work in the 90’s is so much better than his more recent stuff.

It's not, though - he caught the eye with "El Mariachi" basically because of the promise of some refinement, and it never came. He has always been awful. And I WANT to like the motherf***er, but his work is trash.

Also, we're now paying fan service to King f***ing Kong in Star Wars? Swerve me with that shit.

I won’t stand blaspheming desperado and from dusk til dawn

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I don’t say this with any type of exaggeration. The “biker gang” may be the worst thing that’s ever been apart of Star Wars. Just ridiculous.

That's a no from me dawg.

Jar Jar is unequivocally better.

Spoiler

The lack of even basic competence in filming that ambush and most of what followed was very, very distracting. Like if everything else were cool - like advancing the story of anyone, or revealing anything, or just having been written well - I could probably ignore it for the most part. But even that basic kind of shit was just terrible. It really pissed me off quite a bit lol

And that King Kong shit ... I can't even.

 

[The Rage Kage]

I love Mandalorian Season 1, but its legacy will be the utter degradation of Star Wars media in giving Favreau free reign and empowering Filonis worst impulses in fanservice. TBOBF was absolutely awful. They were too worried about exciting reveals rather than telling a compelling (or even remotely interest in story). It also looks incredibly cheap production wise, Mos Espa looked like it had 1000 citizens max (also is Boba stupid how tf are you gonna take over Jabbas territory yet only hire 4 guys lmao), the action scenes looked like a bad fan film (much like Rodriguezs Mando S2 episode), the Volume does not work well in an urban setting (there is a very clear dividing line where the empty foreground meets the busy background)

Spoiler

Luke, Ahsoka, Grogu, and Din should not have been in it at all, Cad Bane should have been the villain from day one, have flashbacks to the unfinished Clone Wars arc and tie it to the current day story so the general audience has a reason to care about their confrontation. Bring back bobas crew from TCW, have some side with Bane. Theres so much they could have done rather than have boba f*** around for 4 episodes doing nothing, then get sidelined for the next two, then walk ass backwards into winning a battle against a multi planetary crime syndicate with a 16 person crew.

You are obviously more positive about it than I am. Great post.

The only thing I enjoyed

Spoiler

was having someone finally aim for the massive gaps in Mando armour lmao watching Boba flop like a fish while Cad Bane shoots his joints was great

 

[Lord Defect]

I swear the mando helmet is the new punisher skull
