Honestly besides Driver who I don't like as person much or as a character in Kylo. I am increasingly finding myself liking the cast but absolutely hating the character choices from the writing for most of them.
I don’t hate Rose Tico. I hate that she’s written as this scolding, impulsive woman who just goes around stunning people with an electro-prod just because they don’t want to fight in a war. Rose is more than that.
I second this just tough it out people. I already saw a Spanish version linked online so if you can understand Spanish you can watch that everyone else can just wait a few days and torrent it.
ill say if ur like me and havent watched the movie and are on the fence about watching it even tho ur thinking “ya i hate it but i miss finn and poe”… i get you, i understand you, but please try and not watch it. you know at the end of the day what hurts disney is their bottom line (and their reputation but less so). at the very least tell ur friends and family who are casual (or not at all) fans of star wars to not see the movie. dont buy their merch. dont support them at all. we want them to know that no one liked this film. no one was interested in watching this racist bs and the only language they speak is $$$ so hit them where it hurts.
Indeed Spoilers would be nice. Cannot wait to read. I am especially interested in what the team looks like.
Oh This is great a real laugh riot.
Finn all comic relief to dumb to think for himself has to be led around by Rose. Only beats Phasma cause she takes her eyes of the ball and he gets sneak attack. And Rose falls in love after opening the movie by tasing him despite knowing he is and that he just got out of surgery. What an Arc.
Poe from highly competent and trusted Ace Pilot. To hotshot sexist dumbass who is only kept around because he looks hot. Attempts a coup for no reason except apparently females shouldn't be in charge and gets slapped and tased by Leia because of it.
Man RJ really fucking loves emasculating Men of Color. Latinos are dumb horny idiots who need strong female leadership and only useful if they are hot. Blacks are only good for comic relief and also need a good woman to get anything done.
No Arcs just getting shit on...Fantastic Stuff. 3 Movies for RJ.
Driver has done less for TLJ then Rose. Harrison Ford who is a rich legit movie star who hates promotion does more work then Driver on promoting Star Wars. Driver really doesn't carry his weight but KK and RJ love him and the fans will apologize for any “pretty white boy” so I guess it doesn't matter. Anyway saw the trailer I was right.
seguun replied to your post “So you ready for the storm to come with the trailer?”
Yes all the marketing so far does suggest that the B-Plot is for POC and insignificant compared to the White Characters and the Force A-Plot. But KK is a Saint and a Champion of Diversity….SMFH. They love Kylo so much then make Driver get his lazy ass out there and promote Star Wars half as much as Boyega does.
I actually saw some Reylo saying that Driver had the “same deal” as Harrison Ford re: promotion. I’m sorry, Harrison was on every ABC show except The Chew (which he should have been on) and every other talk show going not only for the movie but for the damn DVD release. “Same deal”? Not so much.
John Boyega has been to EVERYTHING, been charming and funny - and his reward is that poster? 2 seconds in the trailer?
Plus the difference is Teferi seems like the main character or at least main non gatewatch character. He has got the packs, the big poster and the planeswalker deck. He has gotten resparked, the Weatherlight is owned by Tolaria, and he has got the family now? That is alot of ground to cover in Dominaria as opposed to Chandra who is only tied to Jaya. Plus WOTC knows fans will riot if they bring Jaya back and dont give her a planeswalker card at all.
Why do you think Teferi gets a planeswalker deck as well as a card in the set proper, whilst Jaya doesn't? Is it because Jace just got a planeswalker deck in Ixalan (and would have got one otherwise)?
I think it’s more a matter of them wanted to have balanced decks and they probably picked he planeswalkers last. White Blue screams Teferi, and then Chandra is probably in the story and they wanted to fit her in.
Great stuff basically RJ is lying bitch ass bastard. Finn basically has the same “arc” as last time just with less screen time and less plot relevance cause this time his actions are pointless. What he and Rose do on their adventure makes no difference, the only difference is this time Finn gets to beat Phasma. Poe has an irrelevant mutiny subplot that goes nowhere cause Holdo suicide rams her ship into the Supremacy proving she is good all along. Which changes nothing because it is all pointless as the Resistance is slaughtered until Rey, Finn, Poe, Leia and Rose are the only humans of note that remain. Rose ends in a coma saving Finn, how original RJ. Finn and Poe barely interact at all. But hey at least Poe meets Rey at the end. And guess what it ends with some random black kid (who you meet earlier for like a minute) showing the Force by pulling a Broom apparently. As an extra slap in the face I suppose to anyone who wanted Finn to have the Force. So yeah RJ shunts all the POC into worthless subplots that do not change or impact the plot at all. But basically goes look I am not racist this random black kid has the force who will never see again...wink wink. We get basically no Finn and Poe interaction or Finn, Poe, Rose and Rey interaction at all.
No wonder no one wants to talk about this stuff in the reviews. RJ put less then the bear minimum in this part of the plot. Not only is it a bad subplot nothing they do has any significant impact on the fucking plot. So basically all the diversity they patted them on the back for mostly consists of a fucking smokescreen cause they had to do something with the characters and couldn't fire them all. But dont kid yourself RJ doesn't give one solitary shit about them.
But hey he put the focus on a conflicted white male “bad boy”, had Rey swoon over his abs and character assassinated Luke Skywalker so greatest star wars movie since Empire.
Finn (John Boyega) is even more underdeveloped, and “The Last Jedi” saddles him with a plot that has literally no impact on the actual course of the movie and provides him with no discernible character development: The whole thing could have been excised from the film, and the only difference would have been a zippier run time, a smaller special-effects budget and a tighter story.
they. sidelined. finn. (via paige-tic0)
Trust me he is still a lead said the lying bitch RJ. He sidelined him with comic relief bs while having Rey fantasize about Kylo and then tried to toss Rose at Finn to kill FinnRey. Look I dont have a problem with FinnRose in the abstract since but its clear the only reason Rose is here is to help make sure Finn fans dont get anything they want. No Force Powers (he has a random kid show powers as one last fuck you to Finn Fans). No Arc (despite lying about it). And Rose is there to try to make us forget about Rey so he can cram Reylo down our throats not for any progressive reason or because the relationship has real value. RJ went in the goal to emasculate Finn and Poe and prop up Kylo.
It make no sense for Unkar not to sell Rey. I could see Unkar keeping Rey if had a way to train her so he could have his own pet force user but he doesn't even do that. He was going to send thugs to beat her up and steal BB-8 so there is no fucking reason for him not to sell her besides RJ saying screw JJ and Lucas, I do what I want. So I am just going to mostly ignore TFA and the OT and PT and retcon whatever the frak I want.
“Rey’s parents are not only just random junkyard people, they are horrible, horrible people who trade Rey for a ship off Jakku because the First Order is looking for Force Sensitive children, but Unkar Plutt does not sell her to the First Order. “
guess who’s going to be back on her Jedi!Finn bullshit
True though I argue the main example of him being a racist is him doing everything possible to keep John Stewart down. Geoff strikes me as fine with POC characters as long as they stay in their place and don't challenge the white lead for dominance, popularity, etc...if they do well got to be destroyed.
Cass once vowed to and attempted to kill Deathstroke. She met Damien before her 52 reboot and looked after him and even saved him. Funny Cass has always believed people could change even people who killed or did terrible things. She fought them but never hated them. She had a sister who killed that she didn't hate. Maybe Cass fans should learn to be more like her and accept that she isn't filled with the hate they think she is.
As long as Jason doesn't change.
He's tried, and failed, several times already.
Which is why there is conflict inherent in their interactions.
It's not hate, true.
But it's sure as hell isn't tolerance or something she'd let slide.
Nor is it something she'd abide.
She'd work to stop them, convince them to stop.
So, as long as that's the status quo, it is logical for her to dunk on him pretty hard.
Continuously.
Hulking and Wiccan were pretty good.
Hardly a new team we were promised its the same team minus half the members. Now I suppose knowing marvel. Spider-girl, Power Man, Thundestrike and Lyra would be the most likely members. Given the theme.
SPOILERS
Really Heinberg, Patriot quit again. First Drugs now this. Seriously talk about character destruction. Just what we need more of black males quitting.
Still not happy about Eli, this maxi series did not do one positive thing for the character at all. It would have been better if he did nothing which is pretty much what Hulking did. I think he was right too on repowering. U cannot simply randomly give mutants their powers back. First, Some might not want it back so its Wanda playing God again. Second, u got to figure lets say 100 out of ever Million are a cyclops random repowering causes widespread destruction.
