Star Wars: 15 Worst Things The Jedi Ever Did Star Wars  has the clearest demarcation of hero and villain, even more so than  The Transformers  with Autobots and Decepticons or GI Joe and Cobra. In  Star Wars , it’s the dark side and the light. Well, clearly, the guys that dress in black and admittedly even call themselves users of the “dark side of the Force” are probably not the good guys. But they are, in theory. Why they would actually agree to being called the villains is a flaw in the franchise (if not just bad PR on their part). The Jedi themselves aren’t exactly saints, despite being portrayed that way. We’re not saying that  the Jedi are the true villains  and the Sith are misunderstood, but there are times that they really, really needed to stand back and consider how awful some of their actions made them look. There are minor things like lying for no real reason, and then there are things like launching a coup d’état and covering...

REVIEW: 'EASTWATCH' WAS OUR  MOST REVELATORY EPISODE OF THE SEASON SO FAR. 'Eastwatch' was all about providing answers to some of the burning questions on the mind of the faithful viewers and it did well to drive crucial plot points as we move (sadly) closer towards the final stretch of the season.  I had already suspected prior to seeing, that this episode five would be fuckery on auto pilot.

So turns out  Dany doesn't hang people, she burns em (big surprise😒). From the "non knee benders" to the casual every day traitor.  The judgment is still the same swoosh, dracarys. Episode five began on a sour note. Sam Tarley's folks, Papa Tarley and the valiant and adorable Dickon Talley (his name is Dickon 😂😂), were transformed into bacon, regardless of...

Story or Spectacle: which is more important in making a good Superhero movie. A movie production is made up of several elements put together such as a script, actors, directing and editing to name a few, making a good movie requires every element to function in creative harmony in order to please viewers everywhere. As much as the genres of movies differ, so do their audiences and each genre requires a focus of efforts on specific aspects or elements in the movie in order to meet the needs of their different demographics. For example, action movies rely on editing, effects as well as stunt choreography/coordination, horror focuses on scares, Sci-fi on special effects and visuals and dramas rely mostly on narratives and strong performances from the cast. We are very much in the era of comic book and superhero adaptations as movie-goers can expect at least 4 superhero or comic book movie or tv show from big the production companies every year and the r...
