It woulda been a good movie if they had the balls to let Rey turn. They didn't, which threw out literal mountains of setup and changed events that would have otherwise served as foreshadowing (the casino scene, interactions with Luke, etc.) in to meaningless filler.
Seriously, look at all the doubt Kylo has/had. Look how aggressive and gifted Rey was. It was all set up to be the most badass twist this side of Empire and they just... ignored it. Hell, even having the two force users team up as Kylo suggested would have been awesome. Instead we get an ending that retroactively makes the previous movie and a half worse. Such a fucking shame, especially since Infinity War came out just afterwards and didn't bitch out with their ending.

I still cannot believe that subverting exceptions means liberating animals instead of ending child labor.

I think he had a little tiff withPapa and needed a break.
We all need a little R&R every now and then. I had thought it was permanent, probably wouldn't have asked if I was sure it was temporary.

He'll be back, anyway. Reading through it appears he was having a long morning... it's hard for me to be sure his loss of patience was exclusively due to the conversation topic. But hey, what do I know.

Well, it is not entirely wrong, our views on that issue are, suprisingly, pretty close. Though I would associate with a scientology member if I like him. I would think his beliefs are bogus but that's the same for Christian or Muslim friends.

That’s fine, but it wasn’t the point I was making. The point was that criticism of religion should not be held to the same standard as criticism of immutable characteristics.

Yes, and I agree on that. Since we so rarely do on political issues, I thought it was worth noting, especially since you called your intercourse with

Agreed. Also the Admiral Holdo thing was just fucking dumb. She could have literally saved all the time in the world to explain it to him instead of being some dumb cunt. Ugh, that part makes my blood boil. Honestly I didn't care for the Rey thing either way as she is such a forgettable character. I am hoping episode IX would at least giver her *A* personality trait.

The entire original Star Wars saga from the OT to the prequels were about the Skywalker bloodline Legacy...
And then they (mainly Rian and those who signed off on this) shit out a Mary Sue for the new ones. That is the part that takes away so much mystery and fun, and makes for such a boring and uninspiring trope.

Rian is an anti-gamergate far/regressive left advocate. I didn't expect any less from him. The man can direct wonderfully executed scenes from an artistic standpoint, but fuckin' hell. Don't let him near the writing table ever.The entire original Star Wars saga from the OT to the prequels were about the Skywalker bloodline Legacy...

That was the frustrating part. Yes TFA borrowed a lot from the originals, but JJ set it up perfectly with giving you the mystery wanting to know who Rey's parents were. That in which created the awesome theories that if the internet existed after ANH, I can only imagine the same things happening back then.
And then Indie Arthouse Rian comes in and shits all over that, and I can't help but think a lot of that was idealog motivated, even if subconsciously, and it sucks. Same shit with Snoke.
How the hell do you not capitalize on who's Snoke was/is, but give us a shoehorned Rose and romp!
Bah, yells and clouds on Bespin!

You two should just do it and get it over with.
The tension gets to be a bit much sometimes. Once the deed is done you will have a better understanding about how you feel about each other.

I wonder if JJ will retcon the whole snoke situation. "Just kiddin', snoke is still alive and not dead at all!" Maybe the same with Rey's parents. Or hell, just kill off Rey.

I thought of that, but more in the vein of Snoke being one with the force and figuring out how to do it like Yoda and crew. It would make sense where he said he foresaw what Kylo was going to do before the death.
Or they may write in a book or comic that they were both using some kind of force power to block Snoke from seeing, or giving him a false vision since they Force Skyped, lol.
Or ignore it all and we can treat TLJ like a bastard outlier.

With snoke being basically a giant scarred up skin bag already, I wonder if we'll find out that he's been sliced up 100 times before and it doesn't kill him and letting them think they did was "his plan all along."
Either that, or you know, just keep marching forward and pretend Ep 8 didn't exist.

Not giving TLJ a pass here because TLJ is straight trash, but Infinity War is based on a comic story and so it's ending follows exactly what happened in the source material.

Infinity War ends almost as close to the comic as it can get, but Civil War wasn’t anywhere close to how the comic ended. Source material be damned, they will alter it for the big screen as needed.

Thread was temporarily locked due to a high number of reports. Some users were already banned for "transphobia".
I guess you can't even suggest that trans women may have an advantage over cis women in powerlifting.

I'm confused about "duration pending" bans. I was banned for "rationalizing fascism" in a discussion about Bolsonaro and the Brazilian presidential elections. It initially looked like the ban would take only 1 week, but it was eventually changed to permanent.
That was my first and only infraction on ResetEra.

You do realise there are a group of people who operate on the discord’s that gang report people and then trawl through the post history and report old posts to form a narrative for a ban....I’d say you were a victim.
As for the trans women in sport....I don’t know where to even start except that as much as science has progressed you can’t physically undo some things...there is nothing transphobic about it...I hope common sense prevails before someone actually gets seriously injured or killed when they try and push the narrative into contact sports.

There was a trans woman in Australia that played rugby and she broke someone's leg and gave several concussions where they finally had to ban her. Hannah something.
She was a monster compared to the average female players. It literally looked like taking a tight end out of American football and throwing him in the lingerie bowl against the cheerleaders or girls field hockey.

So now they literally stated, in writing, that they want people to deny reality. Interesting move. Let's see how that plays out for them.

Hannah Mouncey. It was AFL aka Aerial Ping Pong, not rugby. She’s built like a shick brithouse at 190 cm and 100 kg. For reference, the average professional male AFL player is 188 cm and 88 kg. I hadn’t heard about the leg break — not surprised since our media was almost completely siding with Hannah during her push to play in the professional women’s league a couple years ago. However, a bit of googling shows that "one [female] player broke her leg in a tangle of legs with Mouncey." This is her:

Current testosterone levels don't undo bone density or the fact that she's 190 cm tall and a hundred fucking kilos. It's insane, man.

Yep, built just like an American football tight end playing, with what looks like high school or college girl field hockey/soccer players.
