Well, we got the GI Joe team giving us stingers for 33 bucks and the Hisstanks for 27 bucks.
To give perspective on how ass stupid Star wars 3.75 by comparison despite the GI Joe team being bad at vehicles too. The vehicles we get for Star Wars are. AT-ST K Mart >>>>>>>>>>>>>25 bucks At St Walmart >>>>>>>>>80 bucks (The fuq?) (Clearanced to 25 bucks) AT-ST with Klatoonian >>>>>>>90 bucks (They tried again? WTF) At-ST with Chebaccaw >>>>>>90 bucks (They tried again? WTF? ) Imperial Troop Transport >>>>>>80 bucks. (clearanced to 50) Imperial Rogue One Tank >>>>>>>80 bucks. (clearanced to 35 bucks) Tie fighter >>>>>>80 (clearanced to 40 bucks) Luke's X Wing >>>>>>100 (Sold out at MSRP. *GOD DAMMIT) Poe's knockoff X Wing >>>>>>> 100 bucks. (Still available) Slave 1 2019 >>>>>>> 150 dolares Slave 1 again 2022 with Boba Fat >>>>>>> 200 bucks (wut? 50+ bucks?) Could we get 27- 33 buck vehicles in Star Wars? What no? 80 bucks all the time? 100 bucks all the time? 200 bucks all the time now? Last edited by Snakeeyesisposh; 02-08-2023 at 01:57 PM.. Reason: Formatting apparently ignores spaces. |

Didn't Solo have to compete with INFINITY WAR?

I'm still dumbfounded by TLJ and TROS. How does something like that even happen? It will make for a fascinating documentary 30 years from now. Egos, money, being 'too big to fail'. It's crazy to think they made such poor decisions with their Four Billion Dollar investment.
The MCU is different. They are simply going as global as they possibly can. Trying to water everything down to attract the biggest audience possible. Making every decision by committed and in the boardroom. That doesn't work either. Even the MCU is suffering this a bit with all the Phase 4 misfires. |

The G.I. Joe and the Star Wars movie comparison is a good one.
The debate about whether Rouge One is a good movie or not misses the point, which is that Star Wars has two kinds of fans. Some of them want Star Wars to be tough and gritty and have realistic combat and such. These people loved Empire Strikes Back. And some people want Star Wars to be fun and exciting and have hollywood endings. These people love Return of the Jedi. The truth is Star Wars has always managed to be a good balance of both, and so it draws both audiences, but one group or the other can be alienated by any given movie. In the case of G.I. Joe, nearly everyone who loves the franchise has some admiration for the heroism and bravery and loyalty, but they have different feelings on unrealistic elements like magic or super-skilled ninjas. But the Snake Eyes movie alienated everybody by attacking that foundation of heroism and bravery and loyalty by making Snake-Eyes a liar and a backstabber. It literally ripped out the heart of the whole franchise. When something like that happens, like happened in the cartoon on occasion, it should be a big deal, not whatever it was in that movie.

Star Wars really struggled because it couldn't gain popularity overseas in China.
But I think people underestimate what TLJ did. Those "whiny fanboys" were pretty much THE fanbase of Star Wars, and TLJ did what nobody thought could happen - it united OT and PT fans in anger. Again, Disney did their best to act like it was all "whiny fanboys" hating the ST because we're racist, homophobic, Q-Anon nuts who hate Rose and Finn but in the end most of the criticism was from fans who actually LIKED TFA. Sure, some OT fans hated it bust most fans seemed intrigued. Alot of the criticism was specifically because TFA had an interesting story with former stormtrooper and possible Jedi Finn and then TLJ dumped all that for some Twilight romance and Suicidal Luke and RJ's stupid obsession with subverting expectations. TLJ basically lost many of the actual Star Wars fans, picked up alot of fans who became obsessed with "Reylo", and then TRoS totally crapped on THAT aspect, finally finishing off with a movie NOBODY liked but some OT purists who were happy to see Palpatine back over "whiny emo boy". Solo is actually pretty underrated IMHO. But I think Rogue One is absolutely overrated. Without Vader in the end Rogue One would have caused a vastly different reaction for those fans I wager. That said, Mando definitely put Star Wars back into relevance and crossing back into cultural relevance - something that TLJ and TRoS lost (and that TFA had). |

If he wasn't so disloyal, if you removed the giant snakes & the rock, the movie could've been something to start off the new film franchise, the casting was top notch otherwise
