This is also why I think the MCU should at most take a break. I'm just at this point burned out by their formula with Doctor Strange 2 and Guardians 3 being the only ones I look forward too.

If anything Endgame should had been an closing end but we all knew that wouldn't be happening.

Not really a Star Wars fan, but it's hard to deny that the films are an event. I will pay close attention to reviews for Rise of Skywalker, in the sense that I want to have an idea as to what to vaguely expect going in to after Last Jedi.

Defying fan expectations I think is natural and should have been done after Force Awakens, but I'm not sure what it gave us in return was as interesting or even continued the story all that much. It's definitely something I'll need to re-watch.

Remember. You’re talking to the guy who thinks Thor: Ragnorok is bad. His movie logic isn’t the same as yours.

Will also state that, while I don't think it's bad, Ragnorok isn't a particular favorite of mine. It's good but I have a lot of issues with it. :p

Tier lists of missing in action games based on how awful the wait for them have been:

S tier: “Darkstalkers are not dead”
A tier: Pikmin 4/SMT V
B tier: Metroid Prime 4
C tier: Bayonetta 3 (at least Nintendo has said in a Direct that development is going smooth)

SMT V doh.

It is still in development?

We joke about it being canceled all the time but there's nothing that indicates a troubled development process aside from the lack of news. ATLUS is probably just having a hard time making the transition to HD.

It's not even been two years since full-scale development has started.

Yeah, I hope the development isn’t going really bad.

I want to get into SMT after Persona 5 R.

star wars sequel trilogy turned out so sloppy it made the prequels look like ****ing masterpieces and that's impressive

say what you will about the quality of episodes 1/2 but at least lucas had a cohesive vision for the world he was creating and the story he was telling

Nope. Flat out disagree. Product beats intention in this case.

I can actually stomach the new stuff instead of pretending Anakin's relationship with Padme is actually entertaining or that the Jedi sitting on their asses all the time discussing politics somehow makes them cool.

hard agree
i... am admittedly not very invested in star wars, so i don't exactly have the biggest attachment to these characters (besides yoda hrrgrhgm), but i can't even sit all the way through episode one most of the time
at least tfa and tlj are somewhat engaging all the way through

Yeah. The prequels were hot garbage.

And if you wanna go into Lucas' vision, what was his vision with Anakin? To turn the most stoic, dominant, and greatest villain of modern media into a whiny, emotional brat who falls for Obiwan having the high ground?

What was his vision with the politics? To drag us away from the action that made Star Wars a sci-fi adventure about a boy and his destiny?

What was his vision with the Jedi? To make them into flawed asshole ninjas who spend half their time flipping around than actually being engaging characters?

Like come on.

I think both animated series based of the prequels made better efforts on these fronts, (aside from maybe politics)

My favourite Star Wars character is Grievous.

Always found him cool since he has four lightsabers at once.

god the politics were so ****ing annoying, so many times they would all just be standing there and blab on and on about meaningless bull**** like bruh i can't be bothered to give a **** about your space politics this franchise isn't built for a space politics movie at least deliver it in an interesting way

also anakin and padme had absolutely zero chemistry and every single time they showed up onscreen together i was filled with an unspeakable, blinding rage

It says a lot when an animated tv series gets Anakin right but not the main prequels.
You actually see how he's slowly falling closer and closer to the dark side and you actually see him be as Obi-Wan described him in ANH.

You saying you don’t like brilliantly written dialogue like “I don’t like sand, it’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.”?

It probably helps that it's a TV show so it allows more room to breathe than a Movie does.
