Disney+'s STAR WARS: OBI-WAN KENOBI show (TBD)
MR SigS replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
FTR, Riva and Ray could be men, and I'd still be just as irritated with their automatic amazingness. Riva needed more backstory in her introduction to help explain how she knows so much, and Ingram needs to learn more facial expressions. Ray's Force-abilities just kept manifesting as needed. I know Kennedy and/or Disney erased The Expanded Universe from canon, and the treasure trove of material chronicling Han becoming one of the greatest heroes ever (NOT a deadbeat-dad), Luke becoming the Jedi Grandmaster (NOT a quitter after one significant setback) by earning it through trial and error (NOT because he 'awoke' one afternoon), and Han and Leia's older son becoming Darth Caedus, who believed his actions were truly necessary (NOT some whiney Kylo Ren full of butthurt), but as someone who stood in line 6+/- hours in 1977 to see what would become ANH and read those EU stories, THIS writing is too painfully inadequate for me to enjoy it. I also hated The Holiday Special when it premiered even though they said it was Star Wars, and I was starving for anything SW at the time. I know not everyone will approach the show from the same standpoint, so I hope I'm not coming across as, "no one should watch this, and if you do you shouldn't enjoy it." That isn't my intent. At least he got to visit Alderaan one last time to say goodbye to the star of the show when he left what's his name unprotected on Tatooine. Again.- 546 replies

No, he's dead, aside from his Force presence. He's a wuss, not amazing like Riva who can survive a lightsaber to the chest twice in her life so far , unless the 1st attack was through the head, and she survived that. Hell, if you think about it, Vader's lightsaber could have been roughly 3x to 4x larger (like Anikin's would have seemed to a youngling Riva), and she still would have survived the 2nd attack inconvenience. That's some Ray-level amazingness there.- 546 replies

Awesome documentary! Set in 2505, I think we're ahead of schedule. I figure programs like this are right around the corner.- 546 replies

They can't even be bothered with referencing the source material. The fact that the writer didn't even watch SW:ROTS before writing the reunion episode tells me he is NOT a Star Wars fan, and a horrible, but not surprising choice by KK. Casting activists instead of hiring writers is a bad move.- 546 replies

If we only knew. I grew up in San Jose, just across the Milpitas city limit, but moved (1983) before getting into the collecting side of comics. I can barely recognize the area today. -

MR SigS replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
I didn't want to. I really didn't, but the writing is amateur. It's almost like Bail Organa wants Luke and Kenobi found. I picture him ending the communication like Danny DeVito in Ruthless People; "Now that oughta do it!"- 546 replies

MR SigS replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
True, the bad writing started long before the Kenobi show. If they can write a plot that has Palpatine surviving a fall down a shaft before being vaporized in the explosion, I guess they can write anything into canon. But they couldn't come up with something original and imaginative to explain it. The 'lightsaber to Vader's mask' thing was already done in Fallen Order iirc. But I can hear D+ saying, "That was on the right side of his mask, exposing his right eye. In Kenobi, you see his left eye." Lucafilm- 546 replies

You'd think a dark side user would be a bit more thorough when trying to kill a dark side user. I don't get why anyone would pull the lightsaber straight out anyway. I'd go straight up.- 546 replies

Sony's KRAVEN THE HUNTER starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson (2023)
MR SigS replied to Bosco685's topic in The Movie Forum
If he's a vegan, I guess he won't be consuming spiders (Last Hunt), unless Sony feels eating spiders needs more shock value and a vegan choosing to eat arachnids is extra-shocking (to vegans).- 147 replies

Because we're able to hear his breathing while he speaks, I always thought of it as some kind of set up that puts his thoughts into words like Stephan Hawking, only with advanced tech.- 546 replies

Shouting is the new 'acting.' And yes, they'll probably make her a hero, even though her idea of revenge is killing innocent Jedi and citizens in order to get Anikin for killing her innocent Jedi friends. If only Qui Gon Jinn knew a lightsaber through the gut could be shrugged off, probably none of them would be in this mess. And if seven ten year-old Leia can fix sabotaged droids and broken hanger doors, you'd think she'd have been able to fix the Falcon all those years later in ESB at least as quickly as Amazing Ray did for that deadbeat loser Solo, who knew nothing about the ship he customized and flew for decades. D+ is not Star Wars- 546 replies

Paraphrasing: "I know we agreed not to communicate, but I was getting worried because I haven't heard from you." The writing I guess they needed a reason for Riva finding the communication, but it's unfortunate they felt the best way to do it is by having mister Bail Organa become a(nother) moronic failure.- 546 replies

I've read that due to people smashing their faces with their own hands when airbags deploy during collisions, they say 8 and 4 is safer. -

While this is a cool cover, with these two it just doesn't feel right unless they're fighting each other. -
I've had the raw copy for many years, but the centering, with part of the CCA missing, always bothered me. I can't recall offhand where I purchased it, but I stumbled across a listing for a perfectly centered copy and grabbed it.

I haven't scanned my latest attempt at upgrading #106, but it isn't much better than the other two.

It's TOD #1 Credit to @steveinthecity

There are two black covers on top of the #4. Must be them.

Marvel Spotlight 3 under the 4. I thought maybe that was the #2 under the 3, but now I don't, though it does seem to say, "NIGHT OF".
