Let me know when you can link to a video explaining how quicksand works on Jakku.
This is where we get into the ugly realm of what is possible vs. what is plausible. Unfortunately, it seems that some folks here aren’t able or aren’t willing to discern the difference.
You either read nothing of what we even at this crude time know of geology on other planets or you are just leaving it out of the discussion. Do we even know that the desert on Jakku is silica? How? Do all deserts behave the same regardless of the mineral content? And in any case, the fact that these sands are treacherous was mentioned earlier in the film. Come on, man, your tone assumes an air of critical remove but most of us are smart enough to see that you’re just here to stir things up, because your arguments are transparently stupid. You are a very poor critic.
By the way, I just want to make it understood that most of Smoking Lizard’s complaints were disgruntled nonsense. It isn’t even a matter of opinion, most of those comments just demonstrated a lack of attention span watching the events of the story. Not to mention a bias that was astronomical. And the fact that Smoking Lizard wrote such a stupidly long list will virtually guarantee that no one will take the enormous quantity of time to refute all of the points, especially considering that given their disposition, it is unlikely that any point will be conceded.
So that troll gets fed just these tiny crumbs (and will probably go frantically raving around for more, but that would happen anyway).
I think this is a bit unwarranted. His critiques are justifiable in his own view. There seems little purpose in attacking him personally for being in possession of a valid opinion. His dislike of TFA in no way compromises your own enjoyment of the film given they are largely contained within this thread.
Though I do not hold to all of his points I have found a great deal of sympathy with the spirit in which he presents them.
If truth be told I am actually quite surprised most found this film enjoyable…I am pleasantly surprised I might add…for I feared a largely negative backlash…I feared that a majority would feel as disappointed as I did…
Before anyone goes ape over that statement, it’s absolutely fine to not like TFA, and I have some issues with it myself. But my god some of the bending over backwards just trying to justify hating TFA by some (not all) here is amazing.
+1000. I didn’t know this was… oh wait. This is the hater’s honeypot. Bosk basically made this to attract Smoking Lizard.
Oh my god. They’re both lizards. This is their breeding ground.
WE HAVE TO GET OUT
Admittedly this did make me laugh…the Wit is strong with you…let it further guide your actions…
