This is how I felt when I tried to watch Rogue One. It's part of one of my favorite franchises yet it is also an entire feature length film without one single character in it who I give a shit about.
It's maddening.
Rogue One was better than most of the drivel Disney has put out. Thank god there were finally some new characters. anitnal revolves around the same 3 fucking families.
I actually did enjoy Andor a lot. That was why I tried watching Rogue One again, since I thought I might like it better with the added context, but I still just got bored
What was this supposed to say? I can't figure it out.
I don't know but it looks weird and I know vaguely what they meant so I'm okay using this as shorthand from now on, and we really need new words.
In favor/opposed?
It didn't obfuscate the meaning at all, I just like trying to decrypt typos.
Lemmy anitnal is full of Linux and Star Trek.
Neologism now, not typo.
Well, it's not capitalized properly like the rest of the post, so there's at least some typo in there.
Oh it wasnt a neologism when it was written. That's our job, cmon.
And it all maybe?
Moana is also really good
That's why it was so great. It wasn't about the hero punching people in the face whilst an army of troopers consistently fail to shoot them, or destiny babies failing upwards towards success.
This was a movie about normal people. Nameless people who were all parts of a whole, an orchestra of concerted effort to overcome the insurmountable. Some of them were in it for the ideal, but most of them were just in it to keep the person next to them alive. No one will sing their praises, and they don't expect anyone to, as none of them expected to see the light of day.
It was one of the most humanist movies I've seen in a long time, universe be damned.
Oddly? I gave more of a shit about most of the characters in rogue one than all the characters in the sequels combined.
I wasn't a huge fan of the sequels either lol the first one was ok but after that they were pretty awful. I at least felt like I kind of knew the characters by the end though
I felt like the first one wasn't impressive, but suggested at least some sort of plan. I felt like there were characters to get to know?
And then there weren't.
Doesn't help that you know all the characters die in the end
