  1. New poll. Who tried to ruin my childhood more? My dad. Rian Johnson.
  2. I would consider carefully rolling eraser on it yourself, to remove the pencil, and then have it cleaned/pressed.
  3. IIRC, Poe pushed Purple Hair Lady multiple times to give him hope that she had a plan. She refused. He thought she was leading a suicide mission. He was acting like Captain America, going against orders to save his military. A little transparency, rather than put-him-in-his-place dialogue, would've made for a lack of drama. The storytelling is just flat-out bad. I think we agree on that.
  4. Depends on if they're staples from the same era. Same era staples could = Conserved. Different era staples = Restored.
  5. As long as it appears to not be tampered with, CGC will simply print a new SS label for re-holder.
  6. Don't you think that Poe had legitimate motivation for mutiny, though? Poe is kinda the embodiment of rebellion, I think. He doesn't follow orders blindly like most storm troopers. Poe is also a high-rank officer, isn't he (not entirely sure about that)? His entire 'development' is predicated on awful storytelling. I personally think his overall character fits within the rebellion.
  7. Simply wow @ these box office numbers. I didn't think it'd come close to $1 billion. I thought $500-600 million. Not that I'm much into the numbers game...
  8. A Zack Snyder co-worker. Ackles is great in Supernatural (even though the back-9 of that series is trash). He would've been a great casting choice IMO. Supernatural is too dramatic, but I've seen enough of him to know he has the chops to pull off Bruce Wayne and Batman.
  9. Could we be getting some sort of X-Mas present!?
  10. Snoke is an... Interesting... Situation. He's displayed to be so powerful, but is so easily dispatched. Kylo Ren is also displayed as incredibly powerful, though. I simply thought that the lack of exploration in Snoke's character/interaction, along with his untimely death (and IMO stupid method in which he was killed) did the character no good service. There were better ways to end the character before the movie was over.
  11. You think people didn't see Solo because Ford didn't star in it? I haven't heard that from a single person before right now. All I heard was - "I'm not paying to see another Star Wars movie after TLJ" and "dead character - who cares?" I think expecting escapism from the SJW/PC concepts of the real world is fair from moviegoers. I don't think it has anything to do with "comfort" for most people. I, personally, dislike Captain Marvel because it's a mediocre film. I actually feared that it would pander too much to real-world politics (because of the trailers). It thankfully didn't (too much). The Last Jedi does things that don't make contextual sense. The reason? Well, if I go on I'll get some warning points, so let's just leave it at that. My, and most/all people I know, are only motivated to criticize TLJ for how bad it is as a Star Wars movie. I've heard it's allegedly a "good movie" if you don't consider its existence within the franchise. Outside of that, other connotations simply add more to the pile. The lack of escapism is tertiary in nature to how bad the characters and story are. Your final point is exactly right. There are usually fanboys and fangirls in droves who speak up for their fandom, though. CM itself, as a new character within a franchise, receives more defense than TLJ (based on most populated social media and articles). I think that also says something as a storied franchise vs a new character.
  12. He didn't kill his 2nd parent when given the opportunity. Isn't that progress? Or maybe regression... He stopped letting Snoke spank him. He broke his helmet/mask. He took his shirt off. He looked like he smelled good (he looked like he smelled bad in TFA).
