Whaaaaa? They cut scenes with two supporting characters in favor of those from a relationship containing the lead, eponymous character?!

Look, hate Mon-El or don't, I've never understood the criticism that directly compares these two relationships. Sanvers was NEVER going to be as big or important of a focus to the show.

Do they ever fool around? Like one very late, very not sober and frustrated night?

I surprisingly enjoyed it too, but only if I thought of it as a character that weirdly had the same name and not as a prequel, because I didn't buy any of it as an "origin" story for Han. It was still a fun enough movie.

He's probably my favorite character from the original movies but a) I'm not a huge fan of SW to begin with and b) that's 90% due to Harrison Ford and only 10% to Han Solo.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-06 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I like Harrison Ford so

YAS! Bring me this damn spinoff before I piss meself!

(Anonymous) 2018-12-06 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
and they ended up nuking the cute wlw relationship anyway. :/

the impact of that event/scene isn't "omg snoke, the cool and terrifying villain, is dead"

the impact is "omg Kylo Ren, the tortured unhinged self-absorbed abuse victim just fucking murdered the dude who psychically groomed him for years, now he's still unhinged and self-absorbed but he's grabbing agency with both fists let's see what he fucking does with it"

I feel like "he isn't developed enough to kill, we should develop him more and THEN kill him off," when the series already has several villains + the heroes making huge mistakes that are their own worst enemy, is sort of a weird reverse sunk cost fallacy

live!Snoke added less to the story than dead!snoke does, and that's okay because he's not the villain we're actually engaged with

NAYRT Yes, please do, this is greatness!

A perfectly justified reaction.

Spotify has released their top 100 songs you have listened to this year.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-07 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
What are your top 10?

Go to Made For You and scroll down.

I just wish we'd get more adaptations that focused on his better works. Lovecraft was phenomenal at building atmosphere and at subtle implied horror, and a lot of his stories have very modern themes could be adapted perfectly into a new movie.

At the Mountains of Madness -> Think Alien or any of the other dozen sci-fi movies where you get the hero isolated and dealing with alien horrors beyond their comprehension. Except in Antarctica at the research station.

The Color out of Space -> Erin Brokovich with a horror spin. In rural NE America a meteor hits near a small town, and a blight starts spreading from the crater, leeching out life and color. Is it chemicals? Radiation? Some weird virus? Then animals turn up mutilated. Then people start going missing, and others are going mad.

I loved S2 - it moves Jess's story to a more complicated-relations-between-women focus, which I thought was a good theme shift instead of rehashing jess-vs-toxic-masculinity with some more watered down version that wasn't as horrifying as or impactful Kilgrave. And I thought it was really good storytelling in the same reluctant-escalation mode. But it's still absolutely gutting, so yeah, hold off until you're in a better place.

That could have turned the last seasons into something watchable.

I have to agree. If they had gone more into how he got into Ben's mind in the movies then he might have been interesting but it just felt like he was a rip off Jaba with force powers.

Yes. It always felt like 'aw we need to teach her to be human' and ....I am very like her. No, you just need to learn to understand her you gits. And hard agree the kid just....it was a different character and no.

They were teenage boys. I felt it was all pretty in character to be honest. The bull was when JK wrote it all off as 'it was fine la la la la la they all got married, kids yay'

I still watch it, and sadly, this is not where the end game is headed.

Heathens by Twenty One Pilots

People are still listening to that Suicide Squad song??

(Anonymous) 2018-12-07 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
I got the impression OP was particularly wanting movie adaptations, since that's what the secret specifically mentions.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-07 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
I see. That's a rather different thing than your comment said.

(Anonymous) 2018-12-07 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
I could see the argument for this take, but I think it'd be more powerful if we'd seen more of Snoke's psychic grooming.

I'm sad that after that gold little number he wears was revealed that he wasn't more of a ham.

Never seen the movie. My niece played the song constantly so I just grew to like it. It is the only song of theirs I listen to.
