Re: TFA spoilers und summary
I have no idea how you got that message from the original trilogy. The first movie ended with the Death Star technological terror being destroyed by a newbie wizard with some magic help from beyond the grave. The second one...ended with the heroes fleeing to lick their wounds. The third one ended wi...

Re: TFA spoilers und summary
Thought so. Even the opening crawl straight up says they're separate entities, though "Arose from the ashes of the Empire" could be taken more than one way (I'd actually assumed they emerged and took over most of the Empire from the inside). Anyway, I'm not seeing anything in the movies im...

Re: TFA spoilers und summary
I thought the First Order and the Empire were separate entities.
A friend of mine who has been following the new EU backed that up, and said the Empire was mostly Deep Core at this point and the First Order was in the Rim.

Re: TFA spoilers und summary
They weren't appeasing the First Order. The Resistance was led by a former New Republic politician and is implied to have had at least their behind the scenes support. There were probably a lot of reasons why they wanted to bring Luke back into the fold, including "Leia misses her fucking broth...

Re: The Glue Factory
So...I just linked a friend of mine who lost interest in the show to a picture of Scootaloo's cutie mark. He didn't recognize the crest, guessed it was the French flag and asked if her special talent was surrendering. Then I realized that they finally got their marks after having an epiphany and dec...

Re: Let's Big Orange this shit: rank the Trek movies!
I enjoyed the first and what I was awake for of the second, but I never felt Pine or whatever his name is really had the charisma to pull off a convincing Kirk. Though the first one was also one of the first times the prescience ability I gained from watching Walker: Texas Ranger activated. Like, on...

Re: Let's Big Orange this shit: rank the Trek movies!
Memory's a little hazy, but I'm pretty sure part of the point of nuKirk is that he's less mature than the original and a few years younger to boot. He's only a captain because of a combination of luck, unusual circumstances and natural talent. Makes a lot more sense that he acts like a frat boy when...

Re: Let's Big Orange this shit: rank the Trek movies!
That said, I did fall asleep in the theater midway through Into Darkness. Woke up just enough to catch the Kirk dying bit. Though that's more a testament to me being sleepy and having gotten up early than anything to do with the movie.

Re: Let's Big Orange this shit: rank the Trek movies!
There's something to be said for playing to the popular Shatnerverse-esque image of Kirk. I haven't watched a lot of the original series and he may be a way more complex character than that, but the larger than life, constantly banging green aliens and hell for the rules version is entertaining too.

Re: The Glue Factory
There's been a number of ponies with slanted eyes already mostly in episodes related to Rarity & fashion, iirc). Hasn't Neighpon been mentioned a few times already as well, or is that just fanon? Fairly sure it's fanon. Though I've seen fanart of Japanshy ever since season 1. I did once read an...

Re: Episode VII: The Force Awakens
I actually saw Episode 1 twice in the cinema when it came out ... In Spanish. Because I was in Spain. I understood almost nothing. Fact: Jar-Jar is every bit as annoying in Spanish as he is In French or English. I still haven't seen either of the Kung-Fu Panda movies in English for similar reasons.

Hopefully I'll have my passport and residence permit back in time to go to Hong Kong and see it.
Still pissed that Jar-Jar won't be in it. I loved that guy.

Re: The Glue Factory
See, the association of transgender women with "ugly man poorly disguised as a woman" is common enough that I CAN see the logic behind saying that any humor revolving around a male character dressing up as a woman is transphobic regardless of what the intent was. Just...not really much to ...

I haven't seen it yet. I keep hearing that people are calling it transphobic, but I get the impression that's going off the idea that anything involving a man posing as a woman is transphobic.
