And not just the last two episodes (I haven’t even seen those yet ). The writing and characters are so bad that it’s actually embarrassing to watch. And I watch Batwoman. I honestly think it's just painfully shittily mediocre Like most of the Phase 4 MCU movies. I wish I could laugh at a real stink fest, but it just bores me to sleep. We are in full agreement that Disney should be ashamed that they shat it out however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got different definitions of mediocre, then. Because almost every phase 4 MCU movie that I’ve seen has been absolute trash, far worse than mediocre. The fact that they’re also boring sludge is true independently of that. Like, what about Mando season 3 elevates it even to "mediocre" levels? The writing makes no sense at all, there isn’t a story, and none of the characters have any character. And apparently I am saying this having not even reached the worst episodes yet. At least with season 2 the visuals were kinda nice but now even those look cheap compared to back then. Kinda like Book of Boba Fett. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For something to qualify as bad to me, I got have some kind of gut reaction to it; all I get from Mando is "Wow, this is fucking boring" or "Wow that was boring AND stupid" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, Mando has become like the Batwoman of Star Wars. I have a great time watching it just to laugh the batshit idiocy of it all.

BigBossBalrog Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 About the only really positive things I can say is I really like the trend of all the new Star Wars media replacing CGI aliens with puppetry, I think the aliens and creatures have a hundred times more characters in that, then the actual characters Like those old men aliens that Yoda Fett was tormenting and the weird fucking Pirates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one big exception is actually Baby Yoda. The puppet itself is fine but any time he moves more than his head and arms, it looks extremely fake. Like when he runs it‘a clearly just doll on wheels being pulled by a string. Not to mention the silly Force jumps. But yeah, a lot of the aliens look great. The most impressive one to me by far was the four-armed doctor in Andor. He looks like the same alien species as one of the characters in the sequel trilogy, but this time done with actors and props instead of CGI and it looks so real that it stands out a little bit. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue One had some great designs in that vein; it and Andor were pretty much the only ones who were faithful to the Rebels having alot of aliens in there ranks; and I don't mean the Star Trek Style of big rubber forehead ones It's a great design trend that I'm glad Disney embraced from the 80's/90's Why even bother to have aliens if there just blue skinned humans 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I mean In Star Wars media they lazily put there rank and file as humans when there supposed to be employing all the pissed off Aliens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCzarsHussar Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 In your opinions, what other real world weapons could, in classic Star Wars style, translate to the setting? Like how the Sten and stg44 were modified as blasters. I think the Standschütze Hellriegel 1915, a prototype submachine gun from WW1 that never saw production would be a great fit. It gives me the vibe of belonging to a former Imperial field engineer (in the imperial army, not Stormtrooper corp) in the outter rim. Replace the wooden stock with a metal one and it's perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 (edited) Haven't finished watching Jedi Survivor longplay, but spoilers below. Was overall pretty uninterested. Gameplay is fine, really started liking it more seeing how combat was with the cross-hilted lightsaber. But goddamn that single section with Vader stole the show. I was fully expecting it to do a disservice and have Vader get ragdolled and bitchslapped like what Disney likes doing to what should be the second most powerful man in the galaxy. But nah, the old Jedi gave the best she could, and even bloodied Vader's nose a bit. But in the end died. Hyped as hell, especially the finishing blow legit had me on the edge of my seat.
