Speed Racer is shockingly good. If you knew the original TV show, they nailed it pretty spot on.

. Absolutely amazing. You can talk about the production or the writing, just not the parts that make it awful.

I’m not that person?
Yet you’re still treating me like I am.
You’re just not nice, lol.
Not everyone here is trying to be your enemy. No need for daggers.

That has nothing to do with this.

You brought it up………
No, I didn’t.
Most likely following this story:
According to one story, Galadriel went to dwell in Lothlórien around SA 1350 to SA 1400 while Celeborn remained in Eregion.
They may not have wanted to add yet another character to the list and muddy the waters even moreso, thereby making her the center of things, instead of both of them.
But that’s just a guess.
… so black people and women make it awful? Wut?
Erm…

I doubt the IP is dead, but I assume at some point they’re going to be forced to revert to chasing the customers they have spent tons of effort bad mouthing every time they don’t turn out to watch slop made for demographics that seemingly don’t watch it anyways.
It’s insane to me that Disney bought the IP and had decades of high quality content they could have easily turned into movies to print cash, but instead went and made those garbage sequels.
Kotor1 and kotor2 would have translated well into fantastic movies. The thrawn books too. It’s like they wanted to actively sabotage their own IP.

I never said that. Tokenism is bad.

Yeah because people wouldn’t have lost their ever lovin’ minds if there had been white Wakondans… LOTR was written as European prehistory/fantasy prompted by his study of ancient languages.

Tolkien also did speeches against racism. He was against elves being referred to as Nordic because of connotation. I highly doubt he would care about a black elf. One of the main themes of his work was putting aside differences for the greater good lol

Old Republic is relegated to the games. High Republic was the next logical step.
But people lost their collective minds over it. Yes, the worldbuilding sucked. But the premise of the Jedi and Sith was actually interesting.
The sequels failing had nothing to do with “demographics” or culture war nonsense and everything to do with their failure to have a concrete game plan going into them.
Not having the plot laid out already for all three movies and just letting directors (or one in particular) go rogue with it in random directions was a phenomenally poor choice.

I’m gonna blow your mind, but there were women in Europe, and black people, too.
This is so fictitious. We literally got Cirdan the goat to show up. Cirdan is way cooler! (Celeborn is cool too but we already have Gil-Galad too so it’s alright.)
He would’ve. That’s why he made different races reflect different cultures. He wouldn’t have made a single black elf or a single black female dwarf.

There are other black elves and dwarves in the background. As well as Asian. They’re just not prominent characters.

You’re right, they’re not being accurate to the real world elves and dwarves walking among us right now.

Half of all people are women. You’re not as mind blowing as you imagine.

The choices they made
A third, even bigger, death star (who’s hyperspace beam was somehow visible 
)
Snoke being utterly pointless
Finn not really having a point (should have been a jedi or lead a stormtrooper rebelion or both)
Knights of Ren barely being explained
Palpatine 
Rey “Skywalker”
Force Awakens was a good start (despite Death Star 3.0) but man it went down hill in a hurry.
