Millennial here, guy to the left sure matches my experiences trying to interact with GenX.

"AI" image "generation" has been known to spit back out more or less intact copyrighted works, complete with watermark. It doesn't create anything it's just an outright plagiarism machine.

next you'll be insisting dance dance revolution isn't niche because everyone knows what it is and some people actually play it.

if we're gonna randomly pedant on people it's "anglicization". not that anyone cares.

You do know us Millennials were teens when the prequels came out and grown ass fully-developed adults for the sequels, right? bruh we grew up on the OG unaltered trilogy just like you did.

I'm just gonna leave aside your nonsense understanding of physics, and the way realistic physics are both good and bad for the movie accoring to what you want to nitpick next, and focus on that last bit.

When has star wars ever NOT been style over substance? When has any of it ever made good sense, or been consistent? It's a cheesy franchise about space wizards that has been 100% Rule of Cool top to bottom since the very first installment. I think you just want to hate the movie because you were told to hate the movie.

I know literally one person who plays fighting games seriously and keeps up with the market, to everyone else they're once-on-a-while party games, if that. It's not a bad thing, it just is. Calm down, Capcom won't go on a date with you for defending their honor against the word "niche".

The benefits were overstated but isn't "unsafe" the way our tinfoil-chapeaued comrade wants us to believe

gay bars are light years ahead of everywhere else on this issue. there are two bathrooms. you pick one, go in, do your business, and hopefully wash your hands. and if you cause trouble you get your ass kicked because it's not cool with anyone.

not every trans person gets genital surgery, in fact the majority don't. additionally, in many states your birth cert can't be amended so then not even everyone who's had genital reassignment may use the restroom legally. that bit is there specifically to make it sound halfway reasonable to the uninformed who think transition is a surgery.

jesus i feel old...

TIL these aren't used anymore some places. These are on every bag of buns at all the stores near me.

I'd like to add that anyone messing around with anything in that area should be aware that the airbag is very much capable of taking your head off and throwing it into the back seat so make damn sure you know what you're doing.

real talk my dude, given the whining about reverse racism in your post history (not to mention the extreme-right narratives you like to parrot) and the antisemitic dogwhistle you dropped in this thread I don't care to even try to engage you about any of it.

I'm not sure if you're being ironic or if you're literally the meme personified. scrolls profile holy shit yeah bro you need to unplug for a minute, you got the brainworms bad

I came in here to say this

um... no? no these aren't all accepted as true now. a couple of those things are, and a couple more are kinda halfway to reality but the rest... dude you need to examine your media diet, someone's feeding you bullshit

Personally I don't think it's any worse than anything else in Star Wars.

Like the "blockade" formation in TPM - that would never even kind of work to shut down traffic, planets are BIG and incoming ships could simply go around the blockade ships.

Or Jango Fett's bass bombs in episode 2 shattering asteroids with shock waves - how are they propagating with no medium to propagate through?

Or the trench run in ANH, and luke's torpedo turning 90 degrees on a dime to go down the vent - why were they approaching from that angle in the first place? How does the torpedo just, suddenly change direction?

Or primitive teddy-bear aliens using rocks and sticks to absolutely ROFLstomp a galaxy-spanning empire armed with high-tech sci-fi superweapons in RotJ - imagine if the US failed to invaded Sentinel Island. Is that even distantly believable or realistic?

Or the way ships apparently have gravity at all times no matter what - in fact explaining it away with "artificial gravity generators" would lend itself to bombs dropped into that artificial gravity well making some kind of sense as a tactic, no?

Or lightsabers being lasers that just... stop. and are semisolid, somehow... lightsabers don't make a single lick of sense but they look wizard af.

Or like a billion other things in Star Wars that are nonsensical but visually fantastic, because you're not meant to think that hard about it, and most people who do seem to do so selectively based on whether they want to like the movie.

exposure to vacuum doesn't cause people to explosively decompress, that's a hollywood myth and it was refreshing to see it subverted. the human body simply isn't that pressurized, it's feasible to survive that long in vacuum provided you get immediate care.

also, 1) the ship is massive and she's tiny, it would look the same if she was pulling the ship towards her, 2) physics doesn't care about the distinction because it depends on frame of reference, and 3) exerting a force on an object exerts an opposite force on you, per Newton's first law.

you should really broaden your horizons, it was a spectacular scene and I'm sorry you aren't literate enough to appreciate it.

more the implication that you make sweeping judgments about people based on a single data point about their taste in movies because in your mind that indicates they are lesser than you. you know, the way a particularly ignorant child would view other people.
