e first two sucked. The only reason people think they are good is because the sequels came out and sucked even harder so people think "You know the prequels actually weren't that bad."


the first one wasn't good but gave us both Qui-Gon Jinn and Maul who are iconic

the second was good enough and gave us the clone army/clankers, action yoda, and Dooku. again, iconic.

all of these characters are huge for the television series and the excellent Battlefront 2 game.

gen x doesn't like the prequels but who cares what they think

Simply giving you characters on screen does not make it good.

The Hobbit movies gave us Thorin, Smaug, Radagast, and Beorn. Simply having those characters in the movies doesn't make them good (though they are better than the SW prequels outside of ROTS). I'd probably argue too that Jar Jar, Anakin, and a few others offset any good.

Could they not have used those characters if the prequels didn't exist? Also doesn't have any relation to whether or not the prequels were good movies.

In the face, they’re completely different. And that’s the game-changer.

Well, that's a beauty is in the eye of the beholder sorta thing. My preference would be Zendaya. In a blonde vs. blonde scenario, I would prefer Margot Robbie or even Sydney Sweeney. The real game-changer is personality. Zendaya seems like a down to Earth, fun-loving and loyal wifey type of chick and Charlize is a crazy liberal count with a bad attitude, a promiscuous streak and two adopted black boys she turned trans.

It’s just not really rewatchable because of the effects, I feel similarly about the first Terminator. It’s great but I dont ever reach for my 4k copy of it

What would you consider an older movie that’s good because the effects hold up?

Alien is very rewatchable because you don’t see the rubber suit most of the film and it’s mostly horror/suspense.

The tunnel scene where he spreads his arms out and the scene outside the escape pod do look goofy, however

More makeup and costume than effects.

Not by your standards, she’s not busty so she looks like a boy is what you just said.
Having a feminine figure does not mean busty

Pugh has curves, Zendaya is a stick figure

Pugh has the same measurements as Zendaya, but she is 7 inches shorter

Smaller frame exaggerates measurements

Same height and weight, which you left out. They're both tall, slim, leggy model types. Both are a B cup and I'm not gonna quibble with you over breasts and hips. In modeling circles, they're both known to have the "flamboyant natural" body type.

Are they broadcasting failure before the release? Truly uncharted territory especially when it comes to injected wokeness in movies.


The media is definitely campaigning to help him. There's a massive psyop going on at Time, CNN, etc, to convince us that the piss washing over our boots is really just rain.

But nothing they say will fix things or save this abomination. A guy on YouTube summed it up pretty well:

"We were supposed to get Helen of Troy. We got Helen of Detroit."

Like I said to start, if you don’t get it then you just don’t get it. One has a boxy shape with a wider bottom. To you that’s “curves” the other one doesn’t have but in reality she does. She has a better gate, she has a sway back, a cupped bottom and curvier legs. She has more curves and a much better figure. This is why models are the most attractive females on the planet and female power lifters aren’t.

Same height works against your argument

Weight is irrelevant to figure, given the same height and those measurements

Zendaya has an inch larger waist, 2 inch smaller chest and hips

Those are significantly different

Pugh has a better figure, Zendaya has a pretty face

If what you are needing me to "get" is just me saying basic understanding of figures is wrong because you just need it to be. . .then I am probably never going to get it, because I am just not attracted to figures more common to little boys

Same reason I don't find Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande attractive

Stick figures are not attractive

Pugh and Zendaya have the same bra size. . , but a 32B is much larger on a 5'3 frame than a 5'10 frame

And I seriously doubt Zendaya has a B-cup. Chick is probably still sporting a trainer
