I believe the explanation of that is:

George Lucas: “Oh shit, we only have thirty minutes left of screen time to get this done… how about Mace Windu blocks his lightning to make him look like that?”

George’s poor employees: "Yes, perfect, all of your ideas are amazing George please don’t fire me"

Yeah forget the fact that Empire is almost two decades later and there’s plenty of time for him to get ugly between the end of Sith and the time when the Emperor contacts Vader in the asteroid field in Empire.

I think “mistaken” is a bit generous since it’s pretty obvious.

These ideas might work: http://www.spine-health.com/blog/11-unconventional-sleep-tips-how-get-sleep-and-stay-asleep I find it difficult to sleep when I’m worried or stressed but I wear myself down by getting up early and taking the stairs and eating in a small window of time.

I’d like to add that if you’re spending a lot of time at your computer, a software like f.lux can help you keep your sleep cycle in check by decreasing certain colors in your monitor at certain times during the day (the amount of blue light given off by your computer screen imitates the sun’s light which can trick your brain into thinking it’s still daytime, which can mess up your schedule).

I think we’re getting too far away from the point here by making yet another thread about Frink.

The point is that anime is bad.

Thanks to Frink for trying to keep the thread on topic.

lol, so Jetrell… in your mind is the forum comprised only of you and Frink and his dozens of socks?

Duracell’s listening to RUN-DMC after hating on rap so much confuses me.

I believe the canon explanation for that is that Mace was redirecting Palpy’s lightning back onto him and it damaged him/revealed his Dark Side corruption.

Well it doesn’t outright contradict anything, but it strains credulity to imagine the Emperor coordinating the Death Star 2 trap while also trying to turn Luke to the Dark Side. Apart from being unnecessary, wouldn’t it have been better to just concentrate on one thing at a time so that you don’t half-ass the corruption of the guy you want to replace your right-hand-man?

My primary issue with the Force as portrayed in the Zhan novels is that he interprets it as a literal energy field like shields or holograms, instead of the spiritual force that it should be. It is like if you sailed up to Jesus walking on the surface of a lake and pulled out a religion-cancelling cat, and he suddenly fell into the water. ‘The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force. Unless you’re near a Force-cancelling creature, then our entire religion kind of falls apart’. And what kind of madness is that anyway? ‘Life creates it, makes it grow.’ How can a life form negate its own life force?

Also, the light side and the Dark Side are not analogous to positive and negative flows of electricity. You can’t negate the power of the Force by pairing off every Jedi with a Sith. The Force is with those who have an instrumental part to play in the destiny of the galaxy, and this is why the Emperor could build an Empire and why Luke was able to blow up the Death Star and it is why Vader was able to overthrow the Emperor. There is a Napoleon quote that I think is applicable here:

“I feel myself driven towards an end that I do not know. As soon as I have reached it, as soon as I shall become unnecessary, an atom will suffice to shatter me.
Until then, all the forces of mankind can do nothing to stop me.”

Well-written.

And I’m not a Frinksock, despite what some want to believe. I don’t even know what Frink’s real name is, let alone how he looks.

But of course that’s exactly what a sock would say. . . .

LOOK IN THE MIRROR ywhx!

That’s not a healthy outlook.

Whether you agree or not is inconsequential. You are not mentally well, and I’d (and I’m sure most people around you would) prefer you come around and make some changes than kill yourself. As hard-nosed as you may want to be about it, you did post in here, and you likely would prefer to enjoy life than to die.

I can’t force you to change, but I can hope you come around.

You need to talk to someone and get sober.

Welcome back, xWhY!

What does yhwx mean? Is that some kind of Hebrew shit?

No, but I take a Jew shit at least once a day. Sometimes twice!

I read this in the classic comedy Jew voice.

The Hateful Eight - 2/10 biggest dissapointment in years

What? This can’t be true.

They’re a fairly obvious troll sock.

I think we should make up a multi-page spreadsheet with a list of all the aspects of a movie, and then by entering the data we gather by watching a movie and gathering a consensus of ten OTers we can agree on an objective and fitting rating for each film.

Cursing at someone who was banned three days ago is kind of pointless.

And as I’m pretty sure now that’s not sweat and tears on your avatar’s face, you’d better find something more PG. We do not allow adult content in avatars here.

Pretty good chance this is the same “person” who keeps coming back with different accounts to post x-rated anime porn, no?

Ditto.

Oh sorry. I missed the “want”.

Why would anyone admit to owning something like this, even if we are anonymous???

I don’t even want to know what this is.

Well, if you look at the name it kinda says exactly what it is.

IT’S TOO LATE FOR THAT NOW.

Oh so you respond to bkev’s compliments. I see how it is.

A YouTuber met the Pope and gave him a video game and some people are really upset by it.

Who cares.

How many names can I get in the credits for my SSN?

Using it to connect with people who don’t like you isn’t really what it’s there for.

Also true.

Iron Man 3- 3/5

Who the hell rates on a 3/5 scale? What does that even mean? And how could Iron Man be so good that it’s five times better than perfect?

It makes sense to me!

Iron Man 3- 3/5

Overall, this was a fun good time 😃 Many classic one liners, RDJ energy runs high and Shane Black delivers a nice continuation of the MCU. My biggest complaint is SPOILERS RELATED!

WARNING SPOILERS-RELATED THOUGHT BELOW:

I felt that the reveal that the Mandarin was really just Trevor was IMMENSELY dissapointing. I was legitimately scared of him by that point and thought he had so much potential. It’s like halfway through TDK it’s revealed The Joker really is a paid actor who’s actually pretty chill and normal. Then some business leader comes out and says “I’m the real Joker!”, when really you just wasted the character and your just a new forgettable villian. That is one thing I wish they chose to handle differently.

SPOILERS FINISHED!

All in all, I thought Iron Man 3 was a good ol time that doesn’t serve as much as an Iron Man trilogy finisher but rather a bridge between the two first avengers films. Keeping in mind my one big flaw, I give Iron Man 3 a strong 3/5. It’s a real fun watch to have on Christmas that’ll leave you walking away with a smile 😉

I’d suggest you check out the “All Hail The King” one-shot.
