Start lifting, John Boyega.

Didn’t he piss off Disney after the new Star Wars trilogy? I seem to remember him making some comments that pissed some execs off.

[-] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 18 points 11 months ago

They started it tbh

[-] Conyak@lemmy.tf 2 points 11 months ago

I’ll take your word for it. I’m not very familiar with the situation.

[-] Andrenikous@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

To summarize the trilogy was a shit show with no real direction and they squandered Finn a legit interesting character that could have been a key character. The fact they made him at all capable in his fight against Kylo deeply implied he would be a Jedi and then they just pissed his storyline away.

The fact they made him at all capable in his fight against Kylo

He gets easily defeated by Kylo Ren.

I am with you on the overall wasting of potential there (he should have been Rey's first "apprentice" by the third movie), but at no point was he holding his own against Ren.

[-] Andrenikous@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

He legitimately parrys multiple attacks and scores a hit on Kylo’s shoulder. That qualifies for “at all capable”. Rewatch the fight https://youtu.be/FJTz-ahXyyI?si=04DTYzUO2r-E72qu

I mean he's a trained soldier, but he gets stomped by Kylo pretty convincingly, and Ren has JUST been shot with a bowcaster. Looking at this from a comic-book style "feats" discussion, he wouldn't be considered holding his own against Ren

Nah, Disney isn't in any rush to put him back in a movie.

I have been thinking this since I first heard about it. Give the role to someone who got the short end of the stick but has the passion.

[-] Masterchief117@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Should prolly stop saying “jipped” fyi

[-] GeorgeTheFourth@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Thank you did not catch those orgins

[-] Masterchief117@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Same. My wife is super versed and has let me know a lot of shit I’ve said for years has kinda gross origins.

[-] blueson@feddit.nu 1 points 11 months ago

I'd prefer it John gets a shot at a good franchise. Or just a big standalone blockbuster.
