There were a couple of episodes where he kept bringing up his male fiance. Then there was a scene where he was hospitalized and they did a quick message with the whole, "You can't see him, family only." / "But I'm his husband." thing.

So true. I have come to tune out these films (except TFA of course)

And you forgot to add "ScarJo" as Black Widow. She's terrible in that role! (I do think she is a fine actress in more intimate roles though)

She's not athletic enough. She's too much of a curvy boobie woman to really kick arse.

Although I like a lot of badass woman characters, I don't see the point of sending the message that women are as badass as men. They just aren't.

Normalizing gays makes sense. Hollywood is like 80% gay. At least they don't try to get their pedo fetishes normalized onscreen - yet.

BTW, Berlanti is gay, so if anything he's holding back on pressing the gay characters. (Pied Piper is also gay, but that's from the comics.)

Every season of Survivor has a gay on it. Usually a flamer...

ound out about the force two days ago - ties a Sith Lord in a lightsaber fight.

I'll fight you bro.

So Anakin can be a child slave and manage to figure out how to build a protocol droid and fly pod racers?

Luke can be bitching about moisture vaporators on Tatooine one day and fly an XWing and destroy the Death Star a week later? Then after his mentor is killed he can learn basic force skills and pull a Lightsaber to kill a Wampa? It's not like he can google "Jedi Training." And then he can spend like 2 weeks with Yoda and then hold his own in a Lightsaber duel against the most powerful Sith Lord in the galaxy?

But Rey is a chick, so that's just some SJW agenda pushing meme by Disney, right? Let's ignore that she's very likely a Skywalker and exhibits the exact same Force prowess as her father and grandfather.

You may continue with the gay thread.

He was regarded as a great pilot before the time of the story begins.

But you see that Rey is a fricking badass before the time the story begins. I don't see why these two things are different.

I don't really watch police shows, but Rawls from the wire comes to mind.

However, I don't think the writers were going for "token gay" with him.

I bitched about this too. Even in 1998

He was known as a great pilot way before by flying a T-16 Skyhopper and mentions how it is very similar to the X-wing. Natural force ability manifests itself in great reactions and awareness.

quote:

3 years between A New Hope and Empire, he knew a lot more about the force than Rey. She starts pulling jedi mind tricks out (jedi master ability) and the first time she touches a lightsaber she can keep up with a fully trained sith. That fight should have been over in 2.6 seconds and Finn and Rey should both be dead. Luke had exponentially more knowledge of the force when he first fought vader, and vader was pulling his "punches" so to speak because he did not want to kill luke. Ren had no connection to Rey or Finn and they should have been dispatched immediately.

It most certainly is. Make strong, young female characters and you can pull in a whole new segment of the market to your movies. It has been displayed many times: if you can market to 8-16 yr old girls, you win.

Neither of which could hold their own in a lightsaber fight with a sith 2-3 days after finding out the force was a thing. Even in the fantastical, suspended disbelief universe that is Star Wars, her abilities made no sense what so ever, Except for the ability with the staff, which was largely forgotten about 25% of the way into the movie.

ETA: Anakin was years into his training and Duku cut his arm off in a saber fight. Luke was years into exploring the force and Vader cut his hand off. Rey was a few days removed from finding out the force existed and was giving a Sith the business in a saber fight. Makes no sense
