[three characters looking awfully bland] The protagonists:
- Annoying goody two shoes leader who's a paragon of virtue
- Nerdy scientist with no backstory who keeps doing poor puns
- Super bland dude who's an obvious self insert for the writer
- People die because they're "good" and refuse to break the rules
- They win battles through plot armor and the power of friendship
[a cool looking grizzled character smokes a cigar in a spaceship interior, a foot up on the controls, while a spaceship blasts a mega laser outside in space] The super evil antagonist:
- Played by the most charismatic actor available on the market
- Keeps doing the coolest looking things (but you must hate it)
- Has the coolest secret lair and his henchmen love him
- Is named Adolf McMurder and genocides with a smile
- Says an awesome one liner before murdering an orphan
[a nerdy dude in flannel points at a storyboard of the two previous images] The naive screenwriter:
- At least this time he's not writing women, phew
- Has too much trust in his audience's media literacy - About to give the super evil antagonist yet another zingy one liner
- Surely if we show him killing an orphan the audience will hate him
- Right, guys?… Right??…
...are we supposed to hate the villain and think the villain isn't cool-looking? I don't think that's been the case for like, decades
Longer than that. Darth Vader was the coolest character in Star Wars.
You shut your whore mouth, Han Solo was way cooler.
Han "I don't know the difference between distance and time" Solo?
He knew the difference, he was just checking if those rubes on that sand planet knew the difference.
Ok, Han Solo is indeed the coolest character in Star Wars, but only because Darth Vader made him coolest... because of all that carbonite LOL.
Very cool. Still a baby killer.
Given what happened to captured Jedi especially Padawans and younglings in both Disney and EU canon I'm going to make the argument that death was a mercy.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
