Re: Which Creative Decision Hurt the Star Wars Disney Sequel Trilogy the Most?

What hurt was there is no character for Rey. She does not work through anything. She learns nothing from others. It was like having her depend on someone else would make her weak and we cannot have that. Luke cannot teach her the ways of the Force, because she should not need him. It makes her being...

Re: Silly Question Time: If Disney Hired You to Remake Wish How Would You Go About It?

Is it universal we would launch the frigging goat into the sun? Personally, I think Disney is completely out of practice when it comes to their traditional villains. There needed to be more to Magnifico's villainy than being a hoarder and then being taken in by the Dark Side of the Force. He seems t...

Re: Silly Question Time: If Disney Hired You to Remake Wish How Would You Go About It?

So, some details. We open with Asha as a little girl sitting with her father watching the stars. He's helping her remember the rules of magic and how it is used to help people. 1. You cannot create something from nothing. While conservation of mass isn't a thing, you need something to start with (li...

Re: Silly Question Time: If Disney Hired You to Remake Wish How Would You Go About It?

I actually would've leaned into the Asha is a Fairy Godmother thing. She is a young witch learning under her great grandfather the tricks of the trade and the rules of magic. Magnifico is a sorcerer king who breaks all the rules and gains power as he lures people into his kingdom with promises of th...

Re: Discussing the StarFortress SF-17 Bombers from The Last Jedi aka WHERE THE HELL ARE THE Y-WINGS?!?!

Those things make the TIE Bomber look like the road runner in comparison. Why would the New Republic even build such a bulky and limited craft? They could have Y-Wings or better yet B-Wings that do the same job better with a single pilot and much less material. Really, it all came down to Johnson w...

Re: Writing Sela Better

I wouldn't have done a flashback, just changed up the backstory a bit. And the initial explanation could be a lie told to her by her grandfather, that it was her mother who corrupted her father. Then, in Unification, she learns the truth from Spock. Following that, we have an episode where she has a...

Writing Sela Better

With Chuck reuploading Redemption, I figured I would give my thoughts in how I would improve Sela's usage as well as her backstory considering how badly things ended for Tasha. I would keep the basic idea that Tasha and a few others were captured and taken back to Romulus as prisoners. However, she ...

This issue is the courts. Even if the DOJ did, they would shop for a friendly judge knowing the current Supreme Court thinks corporations should be able to do whatever they want.

Re: Dystopian Science Fiction only reinforces the real world Status Quo

Lots of Slice of Life Amine depicts a Paradise Present, there's no reason a Paradise Future can't work. But that isn't what I wrote the above to discus. The thing is, people want to feel good about the status quo. They feel like they cannot do anything about things, so if you tell them and past and...
