The Star Wars Prequels are Better Than The Original Trilogy(Sue Me)

 
   Ho,Jo,jalapeño (I don't know what that means but it rhymes) Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates Christmas! It's Barney here,and today has been a shitty Christmas for me. I tried being a vegetarian but I couldn't because I was tempted bye chicken(damn you chicken!) And so I decided to make a post on why I like,and prefer the SW prequels to the originals.(disclaimer: please note that what am about to say might be rubbish due to the fact that I'm bored or it might actually make sense so,please don't take it personally).

     I didn't grow up with the Original Trilogy so I don't have the whole "Nostalgic Bias" that all the "real" and "original" star wars fans have. I personally feel the OT had very cliché and laughable moments because it didn't age well and I find it funny how the Star Wars Purists ignore that fact and put the original trilogy on such a high pedestal. I mean,Obi-Wan's and Darth Vader's fight in A New Hope was just hilarious to watch and yet it's so "ICONIC".

      So now for my argument. The Original Trilogy talked about a "galaxy" yet we didn't know shit about it but the Prequels expanded on it,the prequels brought about the clone wars which really really really expanded the star wars universe. It brought a new generation of fans and it had memorable fight scenes and very believable character development (Anakin's rise to the dark side). The prequels aren't perfect and some scenes especially in attack of the clones are really bad and they are scenes in all three prequels that has some irritating CGI but if you're judging it overall it is definately more memorable and entertaining to the audience because it aged well.

   The prequels had issues like revenge of sith was great but it didn't perfectly connect to a new hope but it didn't really bother me that much because a new hope itself wasn't a perfect film it was just groundbreaking at the time when it was released. Sometimes I wonder why the star wars fandom is so strong because there isn't really anything special about it(no offense) I like star wars a lot but I don't exaggerate my excitement like the fanboys do(yes a lot of people fake their star wars excitement especially "critics" and most "youtubers").

      I found out insulting the prequels is the new cool and they bash things I really love like Hayden Christensen as Anakin,Natalie Portman as Padme,and the fight scenes that they claim are too "CG". But I say to them,which is more believable based on the story,the Jedi fighting all ninja-like(the prequels) because they're highly trained or them fighting all slow and lazily(OT). I do not hate the original trilogy,I actually like them but c'mon they are a lot of dumb shit in them that they barely bash like the last hour of return of the Jedi(that's right ewoks,I'm looking at you guys). Those same people bash little things in the prequels so hard like the " sand" scene in attack of the clones,why?.

     I'll stop there,agree with me or not you have to at least admit the OT fanbase is purely nostalgia driven.

Samurai Champloo: Why Is It So Good?

Written By
   In the year 2005, the anime community had one of their gems; Samurai Champloo come out. Its well written and set in an extremely lively version of old school (Edo) japan. Its storyline is simple, two extremely skilled yet very different swordsmen Mugen and Jin have fate bring them across a young outspoken lady Fuu who helps them out of a tough spot and insist on them accompany her to find the very vaguely named “samurai who smells of sunflowers”. This serves as the catalyst that carries us on a well voiced, animated, and extremely stylistic adventure across japan towards the course of its 20 plus episode run. Here are some of the reasons I think Samurai Champloo is so enjoyable   1. TONE AND SETTING: One of the reasons it works so well is that even with its fictional story, its grounded in reality without being overly dramatic or serious. Most films, shows and games based off old eras like this usually take themselves super serious and in the process turn out being bla...

First Listen: Hamond - Pirate Radio

Written By
  since i heard  windows , i have been sloppy on Hamond.  Pirate Radio  is almost everything i imagine indie pop to be. it's glittery, experimental, vocal, and hard work. half the time, i don't even understand his poetry but it sounds so  damn good . the other half explores experiences of failed/failing relationships, problematic partners, and misplaced gaiety. storytelling like this always gets me into a frenzy, especially with fitting production.  the unconventional mix and production sets this art piece aside from the rest within its genre. especially the drums. nothing cliché with his lyrics or style of music. just pure, honest music that makes me bust some ass to his misfortune. 😀 mehn, it is definitely one of the better listens from 2022. give it a spin?

Euphoria: Back With A Bang!

Written By
  After taking the world by storm in 2019, critically acclaimed HBO phenomenon Euphoria returns with its second season and from the looks of the premiere episode, it’s going to make its debut season look like child’s play.  Please note, there might be mild spoilers ahead The first episode of Euphoria’s sophomore season starts off like previous episodes, with an opening containing background info on a specific character and this time around, it’s none other than super chill fan favorite Fez. We get to find out about how his childhood was, how his surrogate little brother Ashtray came about and why he does what he does. As someone who already loved Fez before this, I have to say having more insight on his background really adds more depth to his character.  After our flashback opening the story moves to the new year which is after the Rue euphoria special which took place in Christmas where she went to a diner with Ali to talk about her life and issues with substance abuse....
