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.

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....

Samurai Jack's Finale Review!

Written By
If you grew up watching jack try to defeat aku and you got sad cause you never got a conclusion well the new season given to you by adult swim got you covered...it has 10 episodes and most weren't the best but they all had top notch voice acting and animation. The finale episode picks up were episode 9 left off with Aku capturing our awesome samurai and Ashi still in control of Aku.It's not Aku unless he gloats so in typical fashion Aku streamed a live video of samurai Jack chained and about to be killed...it was funny because he used the montage of the original show, which was a nice nod.All those who jack has helped since season 1 watched as he was tortured and they all joined together to attack Aku's headquarters... They all fired at Aku but with him being all powerful he wasn't affected....While all this was happening my guy Jack was trying to bring his babe back to the light side so he can slide into her DM😂😂😂...am just kidding he just wanted her to su...

Sound of Metal movie review

Written By
It is not every time that we get to see the world through the ears of the deaf members of our society. Sound of metal follows the story of Ruben Stone (Riz Ahmed) and his girlfriend Louise (Olivia Cooke) coming to terms with Ruben’s deafness. They’re are both members of a heavy metal band, Ruben plays the drums while Louise sings. They were touring the USA when hell breaks loose, Ruben begins to lose his hearing. The movie started out as a pity ride for me (like we humans always do when we don’t understand much about medical conditions), it later panned out to be a wholesome journey I was glad I heard and felt it through Ahmed Riz’s performance, all of his hopelessness, frustration, anger was well channeled and felt. The insight offered into the deaf world from this movie makes sure to make the statement that deafness wasn’t a disability, I’m beginning to see it as a whole new world that needs to be included with other members of the society. It is not every time I get lost...
