One of my biggest gripes with the prequels is that the lightsaber duels are over the top flashy. Half the time the swings aren't even going for anything except the opponent's blade. It's so over-choreographed.

TFA had gritty fights with emotion behind every swing. Almost no "let me spin in place for no reason and take my eyes off my enemy" which was like 40% of the prequel fights.

Also I think we were supposed to give a **** about Anakin but like no one does. He just whines a sh*tton and then "oh no he's bad, doesn't that upset you?" but like no, he can die on Mustafar for all I care.

Like I barely even care about arguing which prequel was the least garbage because they were all full of crap. They all have one or two redeeming factors but most of it is dumb.

I'd rather just rate 5>7>1>6>1/2/3
You forgot to place 4

fencing is more complicated than just swinging a sword at people - the way the fights are portrayed in all of the movies is significant

Blah the 1 is meant to be 4.

I fenced for 2 years. There's a difference between set attacks and proper blocks and swing at a spot that won't hit, then having your opponent move into that spot and block (that happens on Mustafar).

Unrelated (not claiming I'm some Swordmaster or anything) but there are soooo many crap moments in the Mustafar duel. The whole part on the table with the clothesline kick and slow flying jump, Obi swinging his saber in an arc on Anakin instead of a stab. The bits of neither one touching the other's saber as they spin them around each other's body.

The Mustafar duel perfectly sums up the prequels for me. A very long sequence of needlessly flashy events pumped with unnecessary CGI, with over-the-top acting and flourishes but without any substance, revolving around a character I don't care about.

Also going from Leia, a pretty capable character in her own right, to Padme, who starts off kinda badass but devolves into a sappy girl with the romantic aspirations of a 12 year old, who ends up banging a dude who does nothing but whine about how unlucky he is and how unfair everything is and looks at her creepily. Literally thanks to the script.

Then back to Rey. Phew.

I haven't played a smash game in months, and haven't visited this site in about a year, but yeah, FF9 remastered when? Best final fantasy easy.

But also, yeah, I haven't played smash in forever, and probably won''t come back. Good luck to all you guys, it was some fun times.
Try Street Fighter.

Also standardtoaster standardtoaster fight me.

Are you me?

Revenge of the Sith has to be the most underrated of the prequels. Does it hold a candle to the original? No. However, it does have great action sequences and the Obi-wan vs. Anakin fight was very memorable.


great action sequences


That point made, III was still probably the best of the prequels, but that's not saying much. My personal ratings of each movie depend on the context in which you view them: as a part of the whole, or as singular movies. I think VII was very strong as a standalone, maybe more so than any of the other movies, but as a part of the whole, it's pretty easily not as good as V.

Happy late new year everyone.

I went to two bonfires and finished a six pack of Guinness Draught (ended the old year with a Guinness and started the new year with a Guinness). Also take your Ethnies and longboard instead of boots if you're going to be traveling to your two friends' bonfires miles in between.

Why play Ultra when Xrd is the superior fightans?
Xrd reminds me of anime, therefore is not my type and is dumb yo.

Also looking at the character designs, none pull me in. Playing devil's advocate though, I haven't given a good long look at the playstyles.

why'd you quote me then edit it out, nerd.
Because your dumb post didn't show up nerd.

UGH!! F*** that s*** dude!
Nah. I don't hate hobbies like that. As long as people don't try to push it on to me, then I'm cool with it. Except anime. Anime is dumb yo.

double post but screw it it's been an hour

the worst part of having someone commission you is awkwardly having to ask them to pay you before you finish
or if you already have it completed it's like you're holding it ransom

it's also kind of annoying not to be able to show them what they want to see if they're your friend
I also will never stream my art because I can't handle people watching me draw and talking about it

ps I'm not showing any of you my page

Speaking of Star Wars, I had the chance to go watch The Force Awakens but I chose to watch Creed instead. Great movie. Totally happy with my choice.

Good. I bet you don't even any John Cena art anyways.

Because I'm dumb and don't know how to use a quote function. Such a crappy nerd I am...

ughughughugh... this is one of the reasons i'm never doing any type of commission work again. i had, like, 3 bad instances of people wanting me to do something, but not wanting to pay once it was done, or totally not understanding that if something is complex enough to take about 4 hours of work that 10 bucks isn't nearly enough compensation for it...

I liked the part where they were swinging on cables and fighting with lightsabres

I'm stuck at lunch with my gf's family. At least I can chat with her and her brother (and his gf) but, dammit, old Asian people stop talking so we can leave. I have stuff to do ;x

Na dude. they enjoy that ****. That why they act the way they do.
Ok so even if we jump straight to Furry porn. Anapromorphs are more humanoid than animal. It is almost always Anapromorphs together and never with humans.
It is a stretch to say that something that is basically just a variation on hentai makes you **** animals.
