Nice I'm playing it right now. I'm on Chapter 8 as a half-elf ranger/cleric multiclass and just destroying things. Hopefully BG3 is good.
This is such a female take. In reality, it will be the opposite because straights are the only ones reproducing. Anyone adopting LGBTQ is ending their genetic line for good.
Stop worshiping women.
I noticed that too. I see all the bad reviews noting what I dislike about the show, but it doesn't seem like the rating correlates with them at all.
I saw it. I'll say that the scenes between Vader/Obi-Wan were great, but it doesn't fix the mess of a story.
They can't seem to figure out whether Leia should be a child wise beyond her years, or just a cute naive kid, which is a problem when you are giving her that much screen time. The Reva character is still giving off "angry black woman" vibes. There is zero depth to her so far and again, she has a lot of screen time.
It feels like a combination of two shows, the dark and serious conflict between Obi-Wan and Vader, and the ridiculous "Adventure time with Leia" or another seethe session with Reva. She should get her own show, but no one would watch it.
By the way, what was the deal with that tunnel scene at the end? So the woman escorting Leia goes back to save Obi-Wan, but somehow doesn't run smack into Reva? Ok, let's accept that the tunnel isn't necessarily linear and there was another path back to the city, that doesn't explain how Reva managed to get in front of Leia and murder the pilot despite Leia being in front of her and having a huge head start. Seems to me it was entirely done for dramatic effect and it looks stupid as hell.
It's the same with the stupid scene in the previous episode, with Reva doing parkour using the force and not really getting anywhere with it. Obi-Wan was only a few rooftops over, so how did he have time to kill a guy, save Leia, get down the building, and then flee before she could make it to him?
Another thing is how Obi-Wan emphasizes to Leia the importance of not discussing him being a Jedi, and then proceeding to discuss himself being a Jedi in the back of an imperial transport. It's no wonder women support this show more than men, as there is hardly any logical consistency to it.
I would if I met him. The guy thought it was cool to fuck his teacher. Even at that age you know should know better.
Only if you ignored the warning signs to get with the hot chick. We all know what we're getting into deep down.
I thought they were positioning Finn to be the next Luke. I liked the character so I was fine with it. Then a feminist white woman put her boot on his head and Mary Sue’d her way to the top.
I know lol! At the end of the movie, too. I was in disbelief at that point. Somehow she is going toe to toe with the guy trained by Luke, even though she has never held a lightsaber before. She should have been no better off than Finn, but of course, woman.
Even the Paki comedian guy was good here.
That's what I said. That character was well played, and I thought he added value to the story. Like for example, I am curious as to his motivations for wanting to help the Jedi. Clearly he idealizes them somewhat even though what they believe is totally at odds with his life as a criminal. That's a great setup for a character. The only reason I care at all about that is because I found his performance convincing.
What's worse is that Reva actually has a great backstory, being one of the Jedi Padawans that survived Anakin's temple massacre. I liked the little quips from her about Owen "protecting his family" (the way the Jedi and Obi-Wan failed to do for her), and so on, it's just that her delivery was crap. All I get from her is "angry black woman" vibes. What the hell was that parkour stuff on the rooftops about? She was only several rooftops away and did all that running and jumping for nothing because she never got there despite Kenobi having the time to kill the lizard and rescue Leia.
They are clearly setting her up for a redemption arc, which would be fine and good except now we are forced to sit through a terrible acting performance for longer because she is evidently the main focus of this story.
Halfway through the 3rd episode I’m starting to notice there’s a lot more wrong with the show. The camera work, the attention to detail on Leia compared to everyone else, the mixture of child-like fun with something that should be serious, no clear direction with the movie (is it a movie about Leia or Kenobi). The list goes on. I’m surprised that no one is talking about the director.
Excellent point. You've put into words something that has been bothering me for a while. Kenobi is, in my view, supposed to be a dark story. The Jedi were defeated, the Empire owns the galaxy, Vader is in his prime, and Kenobi is still grappling with his failure along with the new responsibility he has to Luke... it's not supposed to be a fun adventure story. It wasn't portrayed that way in the trailer either. I remember vividly that it looked like Obi-Wan was struggling with living the life of a hunted man.
Yet here comes the show, and now it looks like "Adventure Time with Leia"! You have cute robots, little jokes, etc. I'm not saying you can't have jokes but damn, it's supposed to be a bleak atmosphere and that is not conveyed well in the show. Some of the blame is due to the inquisitors not coming across as threatening, which of course is partly due to Reva playing "angry black woman" and partly because they killed off the grand inquisitor in the second episode (whose idea was that?). They barely introduce the inquisitors and they are already a footnote.
The scene where Leia is being chased through the forest by three full grown adult males and somehow eludes them is one of the most ridiculous things I've seen on TV. It's straight out of a cartoon Disney show. There are lots of logical errors that make it hard to take it seriously. In the latest episode, there is a completely unexplained situation involving a tunnel and one character appearing to show up at the end of it before another, despite the latter entering the tunnel first and having a huge head start. My head hurts trying to follow stuff like this.
I think it is fair to say that Obi-Wan was clearly first and foremost in his mind when Reva was searching it. He had just told him where to go.
I still think it was a dumb shot in the dark. If they really are that close, why hasn't the empire used Bail Organa to bait Kenobi out before?
If men were returned to God and thus awake/aware of what was going on, this would be fixed overnight. Most men are ignorant and subject to their mothers in a way that makes them defenseless against women.
All we can do is help them become aware or if they refuse, let them suffer. We have to recognize that we aren't God and don't have the power to determine the outcome. All we can do is live our lives according to his ways and inspire others to do the same.
No hate, just love. Love being the willingness to speak the truth to someone even if you will be hated for it.
I mean, she's obviously a diversity hire. I watched the show, and she is so talentless that it looks like someone dropped a random cosplayer into a serious TV production.
She's surrounded by A list talent like McGregor or the guy playing Bail Organa (can't remember his name, but damn he's good at playing the doting father).
I totally understand people being pissed. I think if she was good at acting, people wouldn't mind as much. I don't recall there being any hatred of Finn's character or casting, for example. The issue with Finn is that they didn't know where to go with him after the first movie since they kinda completed his arc there.
The only thing I disliked about Finn is the trope of interracial relationship between a dark man and white woman that Hollywood is so obsessed with. Outside of that, he was an interesting character, at least at the beginning.
And if she unilaterally decides to keep the baby, dude is on the hook for ~2 decades of child support payments.
Easy to avoid if you don't randomly fuck around with women.
late stage capitalism
What's that?
Worst part is she can’t fucking act. Feels like they dropped some random cosplayer into the TV show, surrounded by talent like Ewan McGregor and Jimmy Smitts.
He neglected his connection to the force after what happened. It’s implied by the scene where he uses the force with Leia after some reluctance and much effort.
The old Obi-Wan wouldn’t hesitate or have trouble using the force.
The parts with the old characters are good, meaning the scenes focused on Obi-Wan or Bail Organa. Unfortunately much of the show seems to be centered on the new characters Reva and “young Leia”. The former being a terrible actor and the latter being a child.
It was established in the originals when Vader determined that Luke had a sister.
How does she know Obi is connected, it doesn't say.
In the show she says that Bail Organa and Obi-Wan were close during the war, which is why she kidnapped his daughter.
That may not necessarily be genes.
Physical deformities are common signs of nutritional deficiencies. The term “mouth breather” originated from the fact that certain people used to have underdeveloped nasal passages that caused them breathe through their mouths instead, resulting in them becoming prone to infection and dying young.
The Canadian dentist Weston A. Price noted that people of his time who ate traditionally instead of modern diets appeared as though they were clones from the same genetic template, with whole villages that seemed to be an extended family.
In contrast, the nutritionally starved people had all manner of deformity, depending on what exactly they were deficient in.
(extreme zinc deficiency can even result in underdeveloped genitals and facial hair, with the resulting person retaining child-like features in spite of being an adult)
That article is a goldmine.
But strangely, working women in areas with strong traditional values – where most people had voted against equal pay – were happier than working women in liberal cantons.
Even though their salaries were further below those of the men around them, the women in more traditional communities were less likely to report discrimination than their countrywomen in more liberal areas.
No, not strange. The traditional women don't harbor bitterness towards men and the resulting victim complex, so of course they will be happier in life.
This inside-out result probably arises from different cognitive comparisons. Women in liberal communities are less happy and notice discrimination because they automatically compare their opportunities and salary to everyone else around them, men included. Traditionally minded women perhaps base their identities more firmly on their gender roles, and think only of other women when they evaluate their privilege and opportunities.
Exactly! Traditional women feel no need to compete with men, because they know they are not men!
Watch the trailer. It's pretty clear what the movie is about.
They didn't destroy anything. God's order involves being married, the sacred union between a man and a woman. There is no "other way". The fact that many women have been destroyed and turned into horrible sluts that will never properly obey a man doesn't change that.
