He did win the 2016 election, he just wasn’t selected by the “American voters”. Whether the alternative is better or not is irrelevant.

Back to the original statement “Americans chose him” is even further from that - “American voters” - as only a small portion of the American population actually voted for him.

Going back even further to saying DC doesn’t deserve representation for electing one anti-semite, I assume this was a joke, but to be clear there are states that have elected far worse.

Makes sense to me that a ship would need to accelerate to the proverbial 88mph to punch a hole through realspace in order to enter hyperspace. *shrug*

This, especially when the visuals of going to hyperspace imply as much.

Also, people seem to think that this means TLJ is portraying hyperspeed is some kinda superpowerful attack method. But the way I saw it, the hyperspeed was just the fastest and most effective way to get the Raddus in contact with the Supremacy.

As long you don’t care about real life physics, which I 1000% don’t (and neither does Star Wars, nor has it ever, unless you’re referring to some EU hard sci-fi mumbo that has no place in this franchise), I’m honestly not sure why it’s an issue. I get if you’re super into science or whatever and you know that going to lightspeed can do all sorts of wacky stuff and that bothers you, but I don’t think it’s that hard to leave that at the door when you go to a fantasy film. As to this breaking established rules of the franchise, I still have yet to see anyone explain how this is the case, when they’ve literally explained next to nothing about how hyperspace works in the films.

But again, if you want to be bothered by something that shouldn’t reasonably be bothersome, go ahead.

You’re right, my bad, A Wrinkle in Time was better.

What is plex? Never heard of it before.

I sort of assumed that the ship impacted before it entered hyperspace anyway.

That seems like an overstatement, my first post was literally just the word no.

You’re right. That was a very well thought out, positive response to a meaningless anecdote.

I didn’t say it wasn’t negative, just not hostile. In my mind a hostile post would have gone through all the ways you were wrong right off the bat, which would have been an overreaction considering your post was, like you say meaningless, so so was mine. I guess I could have said “you’re wrong,” or “that’s incorrect,” instead, might have been a bit more thought out, but I’m not sure how I could have responded in the positive to a post that’s totally inaccurate.

But that’s just the thing. I wasn’t trying to give some long unknown insight into the creative process of this film that needed to have holes poked in it. I was giving a witty remark in response to the comment implying that it was done purposely to please faneditors. You took seriously a comment that was an anecdotal response to a joke and came off as a bit arrogant in the process.

As stated, all I said was the word “no.”

Which speaks volumes about your mentality. Carry on.

Alright man, you’re assuming a lot from a single word, but you do you I guess.

Assumed nothing from no. Learned a lot about you from what followed. Move along.

And yet you said that my “no” response was arrogant and not in line with your apparently “witty remark”? Not sure if you’re learning right.

The “no” was fine, albeit slightly rude. The remarks that came off as mildly arrogant came after.

Just strange that you think your post was a witty remark, but mine was “rude.” I mean, I guess it wasn’t that funny even though it was supposed to be (then again yours wasn’t either, maybe we just have different senses of humor).

As for arrogant, do you mean this one, which wasn’t even directed at you?

DominicCobb said:

Again, just joking around man. Don’t have to take things so personal (especially, like I said, when it’s not directed at you).

Darth Lucas said:

But honestly I’m done arguing about this pointless bs. I have better things to do with my time. Like working in the film industry and actually knowing how things work.

The implication here about what I do is very funny (I suppose you think I just spend all my time dicking around on the internet).

If you’re actually like an executive or someone important, I apologize and take it all back. Ruined that networking opportunity I suppose.

Maybe it’s just me, but I read everything you say in the voice and tone of your avatar. That possibly makes you seem older and grumpier than you are, but I like it.

Ha, I feel like I’m actually okay with this.

Never heard of Papa Murphy’s, but there’s a chain called Papa Gino’s around where I grew up that’s pretty solid.

I have fond memories of Papa Gino’s.

When I was in high school, this was my go to place with my buddies. I’d always order the large cheese breadsticks because they cost less than a small pizza. Was always a challenge to see if I could finish the whole thing.

Damn, now I’m hungry and sad there’s no Gino’s near me.

Coming to terms with yourself can be hard whether you’re straight, gay, or whatever. But it’s very important. Certainly good news.

You’ve successfully removed everything that makes The Land Before Time The Land Before Time when making it “better.”

I’m glad you understand.

Dek Rollins said:

As far as my judgment goes C+ isn’t particularly good either. It’s just kind of okay, or at least adequate. Land Before Time is at least worth a solid A-.

Well, I find that a little hard to understand. Like I said though, if the dinosaurs didn’t talk, I’d agree, it’d be great. But they do talk and what they say ranges from silly to dumb to annoying.

Never heard of Papa Murphy’s, but there’s a chain called Papa Gino’s around where I grew up that’s pretty solid.

Was not saying that. I was merely wagering a guess as to why scenes were changed.

Considering the scenes in question had humor added to the version that was released, it stands to reason the people involved saw the rough cut and said there needs to be a humor beat here.

I think your first mistake is thinking those scenes were changed. Seems like those deleted scenes were in addition to, not instead of what’s there in the theatrical.

(second mistake would be assuming that if something got changed it had to be someone other than Rian making that decision)

I’m not assuming anything. I’m taking an educated guess based on my own industry experience and a knowledge of Johnson’s previous work. He’s not known for the kind of humor presented here, whereas its present in every new Star Wars release thus far, so it’s reasonable those kinds of decisions were made at a corporate level. And many scenes were very clearly alternate, if not necessarily the ones in question.

No, Rian has stated in multiple interviews that he wanted to put a lot of humor into the film.

Only because the Corporate Suits at Disney made him say it.

Shh, no duh, why do you think I’m defending the movie at all, Disney’s got my family held at gunpoint.

He does have a valid point though. As much as I love domino’s it does give me heartburn sometimes. I don’t have this problem with other pizza, but other pizza that’s actually decent isn’t usually cheap.

Yup, Domino’s is pretty much the only one that makes me feel sick even though it is decently tasty.
