Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

Yeah of an unnecessary sequel that didn't need to be made and was already perfect as a trilogy it was.

Very few movie sequels are necessary.
That doesn't affect their actual quality.

 

[Deleted member]

Oh yeah @Bolderousness I sort of don't want to bet my entire account on Banjo so would it be okay if I had to do a list of things chosen by the thread instead?

Like Play a bad game, Change my profile picture for a month, Do something weird, Say something chosen by the thread, Etc. Kind of like what we have to do if we lose the Erdrick bet.

Unnecesarry it may be but that desn't mean it's bad.

Going from the words of the writers, directors and actors, I think they know what they're doing.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

You’re not wrong

Someone who finally agrees with me.

 

[Noipoi]

Plus Toy Story 4's plot is just Toy Story's 1 & 2 with a dash of 3 rolled up into one with the whole getting lost/separation thing again.

Wow Pixar 10 years and this is the best you can come up with?

Star Wars Sequel Syndrome at its finest as The Force Awakens had shown us being literally a remake of A New Hope.

This here is why I'd rather have some things be left alone as they're already perfect as the way they are.

Look i'm passionate about animation too, it's my dream after all. But the film isn't out yet, how about we judge it after, k?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Also let me ask you guys? You'd rather have a sequel that's basically a remake of an previous film as The Force Awakens was of A New Hope?

Kek.

 

[N3ON]

that is the boldest of assumptions

my sister teaches an after school class at an hs and the mfs aren't even allowed to bring their phones into the bathroom because kids **** in there

Well ****ing vs. access to your phone is basically the Sophie's choice for millennials.

 

[Deleted member]

because kids **** in there

Dude oh my ****ing god I need to go to that school

 

[Zinith]

Another day, another chain of posts of Spikester ranting about very particular movies

 

[Luigi The President]

Holy ****, girl, you can't just say that with a hard R. You go missing for so long only to come back and oppress us like this!?

IT'S MY JOB, SHI

I liked Force Awakens

It's too much to ask for him to have an open mind about this sort of thing.

After all, Toy Story 4 will probably use TROPES! What a ****in' terrible movie already. We all know any movie that uses tropes is an utter travesty, thanks to our good friend Micheal here informing us all.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

If said tropes weren't overused as they are in these films I wouldn't have such a problem with them. God forbid Pixar/Disney can't do anything new or different for once.

As long as it gets a Last Jedi follow up that shows it can take things differently.

Not sure how similar Force Awakens was to Lucas' plans for a Sequel Trilogy plot but the passing of the torch which was meant to happen, happened.

 

[Deleted member]

This is even funnier with your Reigen icon because it's 100% in his character to act like that

No joke. The girl who asked me about her dress walked back to her table of friends. One of them asked, "What'd he say?"
My indifferent comment was echoed to the table by the dress girl and then her friend said, "I think that's the best we're getting out of him."

You have squandered opportunities I would kill a man for lol

I was a stern believer that any girl I dated in high school would be dumped after I graduated, so I just didn't bother. Turns out my cynicism was mildly true. I only keep up with one person from high school. Surprisingly, my college romance life wasn't much different. Even when I was pledging for a frat and had the opportunity to dance with, consensually grope, and flirt with other sorority ladies, I was a stick in the mud. Ended up leaving the Frat on the last two weeks of pledging.

Once, when I was in 8th grade, my family was moving to a whole new place, and so I had to leave the school I was currently attending.

On my very last day there, at the very last second, some girl asked me if I wanted to date her. I was a dumb ****in' kid at the time, and the question threw me off guard, so I just said "yes" then immediately left.

Liberty, if you're still out there, happy 7-year anniversary.

Oh no! You did the Scott Pilgrim on her Kim Pine ass!

I don't mind.

Thread. Suggest a punishment for ShotoStar for when he loses the Banjo bet.

Oh my god, what did they do to Meta Knight's Up B? I know they heavily nerfed the knockback, but why the crap won't it grab the ledge? I just finished a 3 stock round of Pokemon Stadium 2 Hazards off and not once did his freaking Shuttle Loop grab the ledge, made me get F-Smashed punished-to-death twice that round for trying to recover.

 

[N3ON]

Didn't stop people at my school. Hilariously, I was too stubborn to flirt back with any poor girl who was brave enough to try their luck with me. I'm not proud of it, but it is pretty damn funny.

"Hey Preston, what do you think of my dress?"
"It looks alright, I guess."

"Wanna go to the dance?"
"Platonically."

"I love you."
"*Continues walking to class*"

Well on the bright side, the active self-sabotage behind responding with "platonically" makes you my hero.

 

[Mythra]

Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Mike: "Oh god oh ****, Toy Story 4 gonna succ."

Force Awakens was actually really good, though

 

[Noipoi]

Every film that exists uses tropes, it's the execution that matters.

How to train your Dragon is filled to the brim with tropes (geeky outcast, hiding a magic pet, parent that doesn't get it) but it was executed so well it's honestly one of the best movies i've ever watched.

 

[Deleted member]

Well ****ing vs. access to your phone is basically the Sophie's choice for millennials.

to clarify, it's so nobody can record any of it going down

because if somebody's recording it then it's child pornography and there would be hell to pay

iirc the school already had an issue with some kid posting some **** like that to their snap and that's why the rule was implemented

 

[Megadoomer]

Have you ever looked up TV Tropes? You'll quickly find that it's very difficult to find something that has never been done before.

Also, since it doesn't seem to have sank in: the movie isn't out yet.

 

[Hinata]

Our slow dance was amazing. We literally did not make eye contact once.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Force Awakens was really good, though

To me it wasn't because it made RotJ's ending all pointless.

The Empire comes back.
Hans goes back to smuggling.
Luke forgets all the lessons he had learned and abandoned all his friends while leaving the galaxy all under threat living his days as a grumpy hermit drinking milk from some strange elephant-seal-alien best. Why did he even leave a map if he didn't want to be found?

 

[Deleted member]

I really liked TFA to be honest.
My family can agree with that, as it is their favorite Star Wars movie.

people like to jump on the "tropes bad" train

like ***** there's a reason these storytelling devices became tropes in the first place

they're easy to use and implement and work damn well if done right

wait so are they just fine with the kids ****ing in there, did that just not need to be addressed at all?

I gotchu. Even in the dark days of "primitive" camera phones (ie, when I was in hs), there were a lot of pics going round that were, for all intents and purposes, illegal.

I understand why they'd try to douse that whole thing, but in the end hormones will always win out.

Whether intentional or not, tropes are inevitable.

It's all in the execution.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Those overused tropes and Disney/Pixar not trying to do anything new or different for once is why I've stopped watching their animated films. I've since moved onto Laika.

Missing Link as far as I recall didn't have any overused tropes and even had a villain from the get-go like the good ol' classic villains back in the 90s.

Take notes Disney/Pixar!

 

[Deleted member]

bro i got no clue

i'm not the one teaching a class there

with how the garbage our school system can be, though?

probably

 

[Wademan94]

I really wish people stopped confusing “tropes” with “cliches”.

You can trash all the movies you want.
But wait until they're out so you're at least informed.

That’s kinda sad.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Also let me clear something up. I'm aware every form of fiction uses tropes. The ones I just happen to hate are ones that are overused or keeps being used over and over again as Disney/Pixar does with their movies. Again what I ask them is to do something new or different for once rather then relying on the same tropes they've been using for almost every film now.

Just to clear things up.

Every trope's overused, mate. There is not a single trope out there that hasn't been used a billion times over.

The only difference is you look at Disney movies and say "ha, overused tropes" to justify your blind, irrational hatred of them.

 

[BlueMonk]

I suppose its not really possible to combat something like that anyways

my school had an issue with people vaping in the bathrooms, so the administration tried to ban people from going to the bathroom during class. Turns out that doesn't really work well
