I get why you’re getting down voted, but also at the same time Obama did drone strike a US citizen https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Abdulrahman_al-Awlaki

Haha, thanks! I always mess those words up.

Additionally, and probably most importantly, Luke actually isn’t strong enough to defeat the emperor at the end. He losses. However, he wins over his father and that’s what turns the tide.

Similarly, while Anikan has some mary sue moments, he has a far share of losses (chase for Padme’s would be assassin, count doku fight, Obi-Wan fight, etc.)

I think the only time Rey “losses” a battle is in force awakens when she gets captured (but even after being captured she overpowers Ben almost immediately).

I really do wonder what might have been if it released before, rather than after, The Last Jedi. I only ended up seeing it because I got to go to a free screening with the new chewie, and it was a fun movie. I think at least on par with the prequels, but certainly more felt more “star wars” then the Sequels.

I liked that they (the prequels) expanded the world of star wars and felt fun and fantastical (as I imagine the original triology felt when it came out). The Sequels tried to be too dark and moody in my opinion.

A counterpoint to that is things like batteries, ram, motherboards, etc. in laptops (and pretty much every other device that uses rechargeable batteries). The fact is that for better designs the batteries are probably not going to be easily standardized in electric cars (also kills innovation).

PC motherboards aren’t trying to use the least amount of space possible, because desktops can be large. The same isn’t true with cars, the space matters.

Yeah, my bad, it is AppleTV. I updated my comment.

I do really think the TV show is worth a watch though. The play on language is really only a background element of the world buikding they do. It sets up a fun unique city with some lightweight interweaving of stories.

Oh I wasn’t aware it was an original series. While it’s definitely not a smart assumption, i generally just assume any popular anime was a magna first.

He did do a great job with what they gave him. He’s the only reason the film is bearable, and would have loved to see a more serious and earnest take on that movie.

If you baseline is “How will our protag overcome this” then the classic is probably “Dragonball”, but basically any Shonen Jump series fits that bill (Bleach, Naruto, One Piece). However most of these are targeting younger audiences, with Bleach being the most “mature” of the ones I mentioned.

If you like the mystery element of Death Note, then Pyscho Pass could be an interesting one to look at.

Lastly, if you want a comedy inverse of “how will the protag overcome this”, One Punch Man is a great series. The author One also did a series Mob Pyscho that’s an action comedy.

Note: some of these I’ve read, while others I only watched the anime

Yeah, the comics have run their course and gotten old at this point. However, they made a TV show on AppleTV and it’s actually really well done. It has Danny Pudi, Abed in Community, as one of the main voice actors.

Edit: fixed Netflix to AppleTV

I think the worst thing about it is batman doesn’t actually solve/do much. I like that him being new/young means he isn’t infallible, but I would have liked him to have a win or two.

Still love the movie though.

I absolutely agree, felt like they didn’t know what kind of movie they wanted to make and just kinda threw whatever they could think of into it.

I don’t know why this was down voted, but you’re right. It’s not sold as an accompaniment to the books, so should stand on its own.

Having read the books though, I really enjoyed the movies. I do understand though that a lot of that enjoyment came from the background knowledge I got from the books.
