I thinj causing the death of 40 people and a child is sufficient onus for guilt
Loosely caused. Sort of like blaming the decision to drive for a car wreck (sans impairment). Thomas Wayne's decision to take a shortcut led to his and Martha's death, but it didn't cause it.

Yeah he screwed up. But what he did didn't directly cause anyone's death. It led to it, sure.

But he says "we thought we were doing the right thing"

Therefore, the source of his guilt is not his going rogue. It was the mission.

What happened with that, btw?

Should he have let both die? That seems to be the choice he was making

I wasn't explaining any tech in the show.

which is why we could never get anywhere. you kept trying to shift the conversation from in Star Wars universe electricity to real life so you could try to get the upper hand.

this is the movie/tv board. all that matters is how things work in star wars universe.

I said from the very beginning
quote:

Yeah it wouldn't happen like that in our world but neither would half the shite that happens in star wars.

yet you kept trying to say that what the show showed happening was impossible.

if it happened then it is clearly possible in star wars universe.

just like fire in space. just like sound in space. just like force lightning. just like jedi mind tricks. just like hyperspace travel.

just because they have something in the show that we have in our world. (electricity/fire/space) does not mean it works the same as it does in our world.

and when you finally answered what happened in the video, you stated
quote:

There isn't a logical reason as to why it happened except that the writers just had it happen because.

So in all your technical wisdom the best answer you could conjure for what happened in this scene was "Just Because"

and intentionally not acknowledging the fact that it was moving from right to left and a spark hit the machinery that exploded that was caused by the fire in the other area lighting a spark.

it's fine, I understand your hubris won't allow you to acknowledge any of this as truth, but to bystanders it was obvious. If it made you sleep better thats a W in my book.

No.

We couldn't get anywhere because you kept saying patently and irredeemably wrong things

Unless you have some evidence from the "well this Star Wars thing here says that a short can create or alter current." I need you to stop trying to pretend you had any standing in that discussion.

You are just going to embarrass yourself again.

If that is your intention, go off. Let your ignorance shine.




ETA: None of your other quoted text was mine, so I won't address them

If you haven’t noticed already these guys are now defending things they previously said wasn’t right or true. The show has shown us it doesn’t make any sense and its twists are just cheap turns out of nowhere that don’t wash in universe but now it’s told us to ignore all that and just believe their pathetic swerve attempt. So now that everything has been flipped on its head you have the same people who were defending decisions earlier now defending the polar opposite since the “reveals” which just proves they’re defending the show for one reason only and it has nothing to do with the story or anything specific to the series.

You didn’t understand the statement and that’s ok because it wasn’t meant for you which is why it wasn’t addressed to you.

I tried to show how yesterday 30 times but rather than saying "hey I think this guy solved it" everyone wanted to act like I was speaking chinese

They show this thing sparking up (God forbid I call it an electrical box or a short) and focus the camera on it THREE separate times.

then a few minutes later they show this.


But I guess your real life electronics knowledge is right and it's completely impossible that that is what caused it and I'm just an idiot.

Your explanation makes no sense

No part of your explanation makes any sense.

A fire at a panel causing massive explosions at a reactor?

it traveling along those lines you see in the panel and then sparked the thing that exploded. How can you not see that?

If you burned your light socket with a torch, do you think your local power plant is at risk of exploding?
