He was in a sci fi move that completely ruled.

Blade Runner 2049 sucked.

Blade Runner 2049 sucked.

It did. So hard.

Y'all are tripping. Blade Runner 2049 was an outstanding film.

No it wasn't.

 

[FlyingMonkey]

No it wasn't.

It really wasn't. It demonstrated zero understanding of both the world that Blade Runner created, and the issues it raised. The fanservice inclusion of Harrison Ford was ridiculous. But it looked nice. So there's that.

Seems very fan fiction.

Fan fiction nearly invariably becomes fan about the sex lives of the various characters, ranging from Hallmarky (not usually, btw) to bascially Hentai. Storylnes are hard, but nearly everyone likes sex, so if you are super invested in a character, they become an onject of the author's own projections. A lot of it, the sex weavfes into the narrative, so that's easier to do as well. Like, why is Anakin so attracted to Palpatine? Aside from what is canon, it's also... maybe actual attraction? Pretty standard.

I've spend way too much of the last decade deciphering the things people do online and their motivations for doing so...

I've found this to be true.
The only one I can remember was about Kobe and Lebron fighting to the death while nude on top of a volcano or something.
No clue how that came my way via algorithms.
I hate the NBA, although I do like volcanos.

Yeah, gay fan fiction writers have the most vivid imaginations, typically.

\Straight people (and I am straight) are pretty vanilla. Like, everything that 99% of us can imagine was painted in frescos in Roman brothels. The configurational and conformational space is pretty limited, as are the gender roles. Most of it is very... Fifity Shades of Grey, which I'm sure that all of you know is from fan fic of a lady with aa boring job who wrote this insert me type of fantazy fan fic on her commute to work.

But a lot of queer fan fiction just seems like it was written by someone on a very weird trip.

Incidentally, and we shoukd have a thread on "The Good Place", the book written by Brent Norfolk about "Chip Driver" must have been the dream morning assignment in the writers' room.

Back to Star Wars:
The Book of Boba Fett was good so far, but suffers from the usual Star Wars problems with pacing and puzzling inconsistencies. The Mandatorian is still the best, primarily becaue they just stuck to the space western thing and didn't try to put more in. I am both really wanting ObiWan to be good, but fearing that it could easily be terrible, because Star Wars is the Fredo of movie franchises "You broke my heart. You broke my heart."
