Also, rating TFA a -1/10 has always been and will continue to be nothing more than a troll move to illicit negative reactions. So again, congratulations.
To be fair, I think the - was only used to separate the ranking from the title. All other rankings have it, too. Or he’s ranking Empire -10/10.
The same argument was already made one and a half years ago, surely it can be outright dismissed now. Reading the same discussion over and over again is just boring.
- Rey immediately is an (untrained) formidable marks man hitting everything at a great distance while running away and shooting a stranger’s gun; Rey can even (incredibly) aim with the turret while she is piloting - Luke cannot, he is an average shot at best missing many shots;
Wrong. She attempts to fire the pistol at the Maz’s castle attack and forgets the safety is on. Then fires and misses before hitting the trooper and then runs away when the other troopers start firing. And Rey never fires the turret at any time in the movie. Finn is the one using the turret gun
- Rey wants to stay home but only leaves for loyalty to her new friends and destiny - Luke wants to leave home, but stays out of weakness and loyalty (Owen/Beru);
Rey does not leave out of loyalty. The second they escape the planet, and throughout, she wants to return home but circumstances prevent this. It’s only later on in the film that she decides to stay.
- Rey the scavenger is an incredible ace pilot: Without a copilot or any experience with the ship she masterfully pilots the bulky Falcon through an abandoned destroyer and graveyard under fire outmaneuvering trained combat pilots - Luke does not even understand how the cockpit of the MF works (“what’s that flashing?”);
And yet he was able to masterfully fly an X-wing, a ship that he had no experience with and had only ever flown a speeder in atmosphere, whereas Rey had said she had piloted ships, albeit only in atmosphere as well…
The term “Mary Sue” is a misogynistic term, no matter how much you want to pussy foot around it by saying its used for men too. Because it isn’t used anywhere near as often as it is towards a female character. . It was used against Rey for the sole fact that she was female by all those idiots that saw her as nothing more than the “Disney agenda” of giving females a strong role. Same crap was thrown at the main character of Rogue One. The second someone uses the term “Mary sue” invalidates any argument.
You replied to that thing? You are braver than I thought.
Mary Sue
Yawn. Not this again.
Cinemasins is utter crap.
Red letter media is utter crap and they are as annoying as all hell. Just watch the beginning of their abhorrent Rogue One review. Their review is complete whiny garbage!
Even though I disagree with their RO review, I can at least see that they put some effort in it, unlike Cinemasins, who are absolutely lazy and dishonest.
If you watch more of Shaun’s (and other’s) videos about cinemasins, you will see evidence that they are serious about what they say and that many people see their videos as serious criticism of the movies. And even if it’s all supposed to be a joke, they simply are not funny.
On the top is the pope, on the bottom Martin Luther. Not the one with the dream, the one who started the Protestant Reformation.
I had no troubles with the earlier version and have no troubles now, but I still need to get used to the new look. I don’t quite like how pointy the corners of the tabs are.
Maybe her mother died and her father married an 18 year old, but then the father also died, so the stepmom married another 18 year old, and all of this within a year?
I see. In that case it should be fine.

Now, I don’t know what to do. Can I speak to your parents?
I didn’t realize you could buy a typewriter with wi-fi.
You don’t need wi-fi. All you have to do is scan the page, run a text recognition program over it and copy-paste the result on the forum. Really simple.

And what if I am 30 and she is 30, but her parents are 18?
I assume that Windows 8 was still far away when the show was made.
Because Windows Vista is considered a particularly bad operating system in tech circles. And he can’t move because he’s scared, I guess.
Maybe they use the same typewriter model?
What I was trying to say is that the whole constellation of a 30 year old dating an 18 year old is weird, so by extension, asking her parents in that situation is also weird.
Yes, that’s what I’m saying. If we just look at the “asking the parents” aspect, it’s weirder when she’s 30. If we look at the whole situation, I’d say dating an 18 year old when you’re 30 is weirder than asking the parents of a 30 yer old woman. Or maybe it’s more creepy than weird, if you want to discuss semantics.
EDIT: Or what Frink said.
If we ignore for a moment that he’s 30, it seems somewhat reasonable to ask her parents when she’s 18, whereas asking her parents when she’s 30 seems weird.
Now, a 30 year old man asking the parents of an 18 year old woman is weirder than a 30 year old man asking the parents of a 30 year old woman, but not because asking the parents in that situation is weird, but because he’s 30 and she’s 18.
That’s a great idea. Even when they use google to find answers to the quiz, we would at least get new members who know how to look up stuff on the internet. That could spare us alot of redundant questions being asked by new members.
Well, if you’re 30 and she’s 18, that’s weirder than asking her parents when you’re both 30; but asking her parents when she’s 30 is weirder than asking her parents when she’s 18.
Especially if you’re both 30.
Cinemasins is utter crap.
Some great points in there from Shaun (with a good accent there 😃)
For some reason I don’t think he rates Cinemasins too highly…
I don’t know how you got that impression, I mean yes, one video is called “CinemaSins is Wrong About Everything”, but are you really sure?
I will not receive the latest news from your search for finding your own virus.
Cinemasins is utter crap.
After “all Star Wars movies are bad”, here comes “the PT is bad on purpose”, e.g. “in Episode 2, Anakin is the perfect portrayal of an annoying teenager”. The problem is not that these characters are totally unrealistic, the problem is that they are not compelling at all. I don’t want to spend two hours watching a movie with an obnoxious protagonist, no matter how convincingly his obnoxiousness is portrayed.
