  1. I refer to this "Lucasfilm" as Kennedyfilm, because that's literally what KK turned it into. If she tries to make her own independent company, that's what it should be named, and when it fails, we'll all be laughing at her.

  2. Mary Sue was created as a parody of this kind of character. Kennedy and her like seem to have taken Mary Sue as a great character that they want to emulate and maybe influence political views.

  3. The problem is much more about allowing people like Kathleen Kennedy (who doesn't have a creative bone in her body) have control over the creative process and affect the writing and directing making it insulting to the intelligence of the fans. I don't care about female characters taking the forefront as long as they are written properly and with some flaws and humanity. Yes, the way they have made the original Star Wars characters in the sequel trilogy and Indiana Jones basically losers with no direction in life and take away almost all of their personalities is a crime.

  4. It shows that those who promote diversity actually believe that the only way to build somebody up is to tear somebody else down. That's nothing but evil and jealousy. I hate them as people more than their product, and will never pay to see a Kathleen Kennedy production again.

  7. The "Secret Sauce" is simply this…respect the legacy characters. Top Gun: Maverick and Ghostbusters: Afterlife both succeeded because they respected the legacy characters.

  8. If anyone has seen My Favorite Year with Peter O'Toole, there's a scene near the end, where O'Toole's character is a washed up actor. He's arguing with a fan that he's flesh and blood, life size, and he's not the heroes he portrayed. The fan responds with "to me you were! Whatever those silly heroes meant to you, they meant a lot to me!" That's what I keep thinking about with all of this. Hollywood has lost touch with the audience and doesn't care about how we feel about beloved heroes.

  9. Cruise airing that thank you video to fans for coming and watching his movie, where he came off humble and genuine, was a sight to behold in Hollywood these days. Here's a guy who's known for some pretty nuts beliefs, but with his films he doesn't preach at you and he acts like professional, and he freaking delivers an entertaining film.

  11. Ohhhhh this is about middle aged white losers panicking over losing their fictional ‘heroes’. This makes so much sense. PS – every WW2 vet and older dude when you were a kid thought Star Wars was stupid and childish. Sorry you relied on 1 dimensional movie characters as your heroes. That is a MAJOR personality flaw.

  12. There's nothing wrong with "passing the baton" if it is done right. Look no further than the 1972 Mark Rydell film 'The Cowboys.' The iconic John Wayne, then 65, plays a rancher who loses his ranch hands to gold fever and must enlist a team of young boys to drive his herd to town for sale. In the course of the film, they are harassed by rustlers led by the terrifying Bruce Dern, and although John Wayne gets his iconic "John Wayne moment" with bad-ass dialogue and a sound beating of the villain, he is gunned down and killed. The boys are then forced to finish the drive themselves after stealing back the herd from the rustlers. Incredible John Williams score, by the way. But the best part is, the film wasn't grooming a replacement (although one of the boys was Robert Carradine). It was saying that at some point, our iconic heroes must step down, so new ones must be ready to take their place. The new heroes may not be ready themselves (a point made when the boys encounter a traveling brothel but are determined to be too young for this coming-of-age experience), but no one ever is, and the only reason they take back the herd and deliver the cattle is because John Wayne's death made it necessary. They weren't the bestest ever. They didn't jump on a horse and know how to be Zorro. If an Indy movie introduced the idea of Helena as a person who must pay her dues and evolve as a character before she can assume the mantle, maybe–MAYBE–I could buy into it. Sadly, this film wasn't about representation of women; it was about representation of Kathleen Kennedy.

  13. Decimate shares the same root as decimal. The latin meaning of the word indicates removal of 10% of individuals from a group. I know everyone and their grandmother uses the word as you do. Decimate as applied is gibberish buddy, sorry.

  14. Nickelodeon did it with Legend of Korra. Making the original squad bad parents, taking away their happy endings, and killing off the legacy of previous Avatars. It was frustrating to witness.

  15. 1) – When Johnny Weissmuller got too old to play Tarzan after 14 films, they gave the part to Alex Barker and the series continued just fine. When Alex Barker moved on after several films they cast Gordon Scott as Tarzan and the series continued just fine. When Basil Rathbone's tenure as Sherlock Holmes ended after 12 films other actors took on the role and the character continued. The studios never trashed the characters, never disrespected the audience or the creative concept. Indian Jones has already been played by two other actors Sean Patrick Flanery and River Phoenix. So there was no reason to pay Harrison Ford $35 million to help kill him off. Just cast another actor, a younger man, to continue the role in straightforward adventure films, and audiences will respond positive. Ford is not essential. 2) – Neither is Kathleen Kennedy; her agenda is a sickness and pathological. 3) – studios and execs look upon the box-office intake as whether or not a film is creatively successful. Financial success means creative success. So when audiences complain bitterly about bad movies, if they're paying for it, the bad movies will keep on coming. So stop giving the b!tch your money.

  16. Fleabag and Rey, there is only one way to describe them individually, is THE BESTEST EVAAAAAAR!!! They don't need character development, they are perfect just the way they are, and they are so beyond BORING.
