    yeah corporate stuff. They do it for old pinball machines too, it's amazing how much content like this exists. Nowadays, you can do the same in 2 hours with a powerpoint presentation

    Boys age 6 to 12. Man that's kind of sad you know! Like the casual sexism of target audiences. I'm glad that focus groups don't really exist any more and you can just silently data gather to create "targeted" content (like orange is the new black or house of cards)

    I unfollowed you as a gag back in say, February when we had that feud about YuGiOh Abridged. But I definitely re-followed right after









    no way I could have gone all the way since then not realizing that I am not following you

    When she talked about her role, she said: "When I read the script of 'Inglourious Basterds', I was like, wow, it's been my dream to kill Hitler since I was like four so I was kind of like Shosanna already. I'm Jewish. I read the script together with my grandfather and he told me, 'You have to make that movie, please.' So it was not just for me, it was for my family".

    oh :(

    that's the real reason there's no Half-Life 3 right

    or the reason there never will be on

    Yeah. It's dead. The pastebin was literally from THE creator of the universe, after 10 years of being trapped from sharing his ideas for the conclusion of the most irritating cliffhanger of all time. He finally left and this is his catharsis.

    lack of role models for female gamers[77] contributes to a feeling that they should edit their femininity in order to maintain credibility as a gamer, and that they must fit into the caricatured role of the "girl gamer" in order to be accepted

    A 2015 study found that lower-skilled male players of Halo 3 were more hostile towards teammates with a female voice, but behaved more submissively to players with a male voice. Higher-skilled male players, on the other hand, behaved more positively towards female players. The authors argued the male hostility towards female gamers in terms of evolutionary psychology, writing, "female-initiated disruption of a male hierarchy incites hostile behaviour from poor performing males who stand to lose the most status


    Now this is a weird af study

    When female characters do appear in video games, they are often regarded as presenting unhealthy messages concerning unrealistic body images and provocative sexual and violent behaviors for players of both genders.[129] Stereotypical female behaviors such as giggling or sighing are often presented non-ironically, and this leads young children (especially girls who identify with the female character) to think that this is how girls are supposed to look and act


    NON IRONIC

    Though her bluepill name will most likely forever remain unknown, a few fans have speculated it might've actually been Alice or possibly, Dinah (Alice's pet cat). This mainly comes from taking into account the various minor references to Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland novels during her activities as a hacker (i.e. "follow the white rabbit", "through the looking glass", "The Red Queen", etc.). There is however no concrete evidence to support this notion.

    "So where are you from?"
    "I'm from a place where we don't end sentences with prepositions."
    "Okay. Where are you from, bitch?"

    There is not really any rule against ending a sentence with a preposition though is there

    and I don't see why there would be either
    Hulavuta
    Hulavuta
    oh apparently it was because it can't be done in Latin, same with infinitives which are one word in Latin
    Hulavuta
    man the "love" triangle with Niobe, Morpheus, and Locke is really good too. Like in terms of their arcs.

    The problem with you posted good analyses like this is that there's nothing else to say from me
    Hulavuta
    Hulavuta
    oh I also find it interesting that Morpheus represents JOHN the Baptist and Jason Locke represents JOHN Locke. This is almost certainly just a coincidence though lol

    The Council did a lot of dumb things. I think that was a major flaw of the prequels. In the originals, the Empire controlled everything so it was an uphill battle. But in the prequels, the Jedi have so much influence and so many members. So they have to just act in really stupid ways for anything to actually happen. The truth is they could have stopped Anakin from becoming evil at various points.

    Which is why I liked my idea that Anakin doesn't have problems in his training, he is tempted to become evil AFTER the Empire is already a thing.

    In the canon they are going for the idea that the Jedi council was becoming corrupt which I do like too. I like this idea but I don't think it was intended from the beginning. It is something that better writers like Dave Filoni and Pablo Hidalgo did to explain all the craziness that George made the Jedi do lol. Well, maybe to an extent. I do think parts of it in Episode III are intended, like when Mace wants to murder Palpatine without trial.

    I don't think it's so much that the council is corrupt, just that they are blind to the way the world is and can't act pragmatic. They really do nothing but fight a couple of mandalorians and stuff. Mace Windu should be jumping at the chance to duel a sith but he doesn't want to believe they're real.

    I don't think mace wanting to kill palpatine is out of the question. The "right" thing to do would be to have him stand trial but like whatever. The council is just supposed to show that the jedi are a shadow of what they used to be.

    yeah "corrupt" meaning like they just kinda have lost their way. Not corrupt in a way a politician is called corrupt, but maybe like how a computer program is referred to as corrupt.

    Another thing they are kind of "retconning" was the midi-chlorians. Now the opinion is that midi-chlorians are *a* sign of force sensitivity, but not the end-all be-all. However, the midi-chlorian focus was a sign that the Jedi were becoming too rigid, streamlined, and exclusive.

    Did you know Julius Caesar was possibly Brutus' illegitimate father, but nobody really knows? THE STAR WARS PARALLELS GROW DEEPER

    no Caesar is Palpatine. As in he takes over the republic and the senate and becomes the emperor? just like Caesar did?

    also tbh all of that is extra-canon. I'm just talking about what George Lucas put in ep 3 which is extremely ambiguous.
    GatoDelFuego
    GatoDelFuego
    But Cesar is generally considered to be an OK guy, and killing him made the empire worse

    but i'm just arguing for the sake of arguing at this point hehe
    Hulavuta
    Hulavuta
    Yeah, it's not a 1 to 1 correlation because obviously Palpatine had to win. I'm just saying that is part of the inspiration. I would also say the rise of the Japanese empire was an inspiration (George Lucas has said Samurai movies like The Hidden Fortress were inspirations as well). The Jedi are the equivalent to samurai which were done away with after the war, it was illegal to have a sword, etc.

    Both come about after a period of civil war, and Palpatine used the war as a pretense to gain more power, kind of like Caesar (I would not necessarily with Caesar it was a pretense though)

    the first one was kinda scary though. kept me up when i was 12 and made me sleep with the light on. and liek i slept in the living room so the whole living room light was on

    lol. I never saw it though

    it is pretty good but extremely violent. I mean it is Snyder so that goes without saying


    but it's really funny because the tactics and costumes are all historically inaccurate, but all the cheesy one-liners ARE accurate

    also it got Snyder the Watchmen gig and everything that came after that, so that's good

    first thing in the morning thoughts:

    Alt-right *should* be used to refer to white nationalists, and the "Young Right" should find a new name. (I actually quite like "Young Right", it sounds nice, it indicates that they are a newer movement, and young, nontraditional, conservatives)

    Why? Because Richard Spencer owns altright.com. That's actually just it. In that sense, he controls the name more than anyone else.

    Obi-Wan: No Luke, it's too dangerous!

    sits there and does nothing

    nice im glad you agree now. yeah like what if the stormtroopers were still there lol. Obi-Wan should have just gone with him, not like that would have made any problems in the plot, he goes right back to him anyway. Also it would be cool seeing Obi-Wan with Luke and just letting him grieve and not say anything.
    Hulavuta
    can an ass pull / deus ex machina be fixed by later material?

    For example, the ending of Avatar people thought Aang taking away bending was a way to avoid a difficult choice. But then taking/giving bending becomes a significant and standard part of the universe in LoK and the Wan special. Does that make it acceptable, in the bigger picture

    yeah thats just a straight up retcon though.

    I guess what I mean more is universes that have rules to them. and then something dumb happens but that becomes a new rule


    one I can think of is Anakin's virgin birth. it was kinda dumb, but it's later imlied that that had to do with Darth Plagueis' manipulation of midi-chlorians to create life which itself had to do with Force Ghosts which were already established in A New Hope
    GatoDelFuego

    yeah I see stuff like that as "walking back" on something decided prior or "handwaving" to force something to work. I don't think you can get rid of the negative sentiment.

    Similarly, I think that lucas always knew it was gonna be midi chlorians, so he was always sticking with his guns. BUT I don't think it pacified anybody that just thought it was a straight up jesus thing (even tho it still is xd)
    Hulavuta
    Hulavuta
    Yeah but this is more a personal question for you. For me, I think if they do it like that, it can work.
