I have HBO Max because when it first started I thought HBO was top notch in entertainment and thought it would be that way going forward. I no longer have such illusions. I will say they have a good back catalog and once I watch the older shows and movies I'll cancel since every new show is pretty much what you would expect in our current time.
I am currently watching Batman Beyond and I haven't seen it all the way through but was able to catch an episode here and there when it first came out. Cyberguy64 mentioned on one of my previous posts that Batman Beyond is a great example of introducing a new character while respecting the character from the past.
I'll never understand how companies like Disney can be so clueless as to why there was backlash to Last Jedi. They could've made even more money by respecting Luke while also making Rey the main character (with good writing of course). I also think a better job could've been done with Finn, but I lost sympathy for him once he started joining in the "I am so oppressed" crowd during the summer of love. Another recent example is the Wheel of Time. I have seen book readers getting attacked for criticizing the show. If that moron showrunner wants to write his own show, then he should write his own show.
But I am really enjoying Batman Beyond. I almost forgot what it looked like to respect a character from the past while building up the current lead.
finn was lame off the bat, we already have reformed imperials, in both EU and the original series.
The pile of useless copy pasted characters in disneywars:
finn (copy pasted defector)
phasmuh (copy pasted fett, less interesting backstory and autonomy)
the protagonist of BFront II (another copy pasta defector, spoilers, this time a wamenz of color tho)
the little red chick, whos a copy pasta animatronic and looks just like the most powerful jedi in OT
holdoodoo (copy pasted leia, but no charisma, and a retired teacher look)
Stable boys who are attuned to the force
and rose, whos a copy paste of jar jar, but with a forced romance added in where she gets to make out with finn even tho he just met her lo
That’s true. As a life long EU fan I agree. I was just saying his story could’ve been better but that applies to the sequels as a whole. Also I find it odd how Disney got rid of the EU only to use certain ideas. If they didn’t want it then they should’ve made something original
Not to mention literally copying Jan Ors for R1, changing some vowels around in her name and deleting my boy Katarn.
