I think in the Star Wars universe black people are above certain alien lifeforms. The whole world isn't PC.
Boycott life. Death is the only escape from racism.
I mean, it's PC in a way that makes sense and not Tumbler PC. Black guy is cool. White girl is useful and not just a sex object. Wow, that's so incredibly PC.
For fuck's sake.
From what I've heard people are annoyed by how uber powered she is, so quick.
I really liked it. It repeated patterns from ANH, but with new twists. Everyone has their own hero's journey. Now some of the older characters have transitioned into a latter stage in the journey while new characters are beginning the journey. There was one plot point that really bored and annoyed me for feeling way to perfunctory, but otherwise I found it very engaging
I think those people missed the whole point of the movie. She was trained as a child. Hence, The Force AWAKENS.
That's amazing that you think this is the point of the movie, because there probably isn't one. Outside of "Hey, we destroy planets on an hourly basis and look who the bad and good guys are that we'll see come to a conclusion 2 movies from now!"It wasn't explicitly stated, but it can be inferred from the vision scene.
Yeah that's the one. I've been meaning to check out Wade Davis' book the film was adapted from because the origins of the story are incredibly creepy. "Don't let them bury me... I'm not dead!"The Serpent and The Rainbow, I'm pretty sure that's the voodoo drug one and it's been years since I've seen it. From memory I liked that one and I might try and watch it again soon.
I'm pretty confident that it was a flashback. It makes more sense in the context of the exposition that Ren had killed off Luke's young jedis.

*spoilers* and all that jazz
What plot point did you not enjoy?

But even if you think this is true, because I think she's the kid of Luke and was at his little Jedi indoctrination camp, she was abandoned super young, like at age 5 or something. Kylo Ren was at the same jedi academy thing and even went on to whatever the Ren school is and has since been the most evilest dude in the universe until then. He barely won the fight against angry black man and loses against Luke in female form in the first movie. How can you say she isn't too powerful already? It took Luke 3 movies to get where he was and tons of training, but nope, Rae the wonderous female is already there because she's a woman?
There really isn't a minority thing in the movie, which is kind of funny since you can tell the production company wanted equal male and female representation in all aspects. Which doesn't bother you, just makes you laugh at how timid everyone is at not being PC.
But the scenarios surrounding Rey as a woman is kind of annoying and tries to say "I'm a strong independent woman!" thing all the time. It starts in the beginning and it kind of never ends, until someone has to pick up incapacitated black man and Rey has to get the nice Wookie to carry him, because she ain't so independent!
It just seems that the writers didn't leave a lot of interest in a 2nd or a 3rd installment, it feels like it could end right here and we could start an entirely new saga or direction. Will Rey train all kinds of new Jedi and stop the evil darkness!? Will Kylo Ren really stay evil?! Who is Snoke and why does he require a giant hologram?
Tune in next time on for Dragonball Z!
How can you say it was entirely a flashback when Ren and Rey met in the same forest just a tad bit later? It clearly delved into both worlds, it was some sort of force premonition or whatever.
This still doesn't justify her abilities with the force and blaster shooting and lightsaber-ness. It would have made sense if she jerry-rigged the light saber to her staff thing and was good with that, but Star Wars is not a franchise that employs logical thinking imo![]()
