@maximeteppe76272 жыл бұрын
yeah... I wasn't pumped by the first two episodes because it really feels like they should have turned them into one better paced episode by tightening the editing a bit (especially the flashbacks that feel like they don't really connect with what's happening in the present... It's not a perfect show, but it's a show that has actual spirit and it's such a rare thing I don't comprehend actively disliking it - and the pacing issue is largely solved by episode 3 onwards.
@midnightbloomofeorzea71822 жыл бұрын
I might be wrong, but my guess is that, like one of my friends who also hate it, is that Dan could be someone that prefers Star Wars to be more about the Jedi/force/magic stuff than about the bounty hunter/rebel/political side of it. Could be that they view Star Wars as an inherently fantasy-scifi IP, and that it is also inherently campy. So them doing something more serious and not magical feels like when someone takes Sonic the Hedgehog and intentionally makes it edgy. If that makes sense. I'm curious to see if that aligns at all with the actual explanation.

It’s heartwarming and I’ve watched it every December since it came out.

I agree with Brandon about the Muppet Christmas Carol being the best. Michael Caine shows the most genuine and gradual character change throughout the movie. A lot of Christmas Carol portray Scrooge as heartless and awful until the ghost of Christmas yet to come and only when he sees his tomb stone does the character actually change his behavior. However, Michael Caine shows small changes with every visit, which makes such a dramatic change believable by the end. Yes, I am a millennial :) Edit: I don't know if this means that The Muppet Christmas Carol is the Christmas Carol or that Michael Caine was the best Scrooge.
