I have seen every King Kong & Godzilla movie. I've seen all Godzilla shows, all Gamera films, everything Pacific Rim, Cloverfield, Shin Ultraman, Rampage, all Transformers films, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ultraman 1966, Gamera: Rebirth, Troll, The Sea Beast, The Iron Giant, Primal, Skull Island, Attack on Titan, Monsters, & Love and Monsters. I've played Shadow of the Colossus, War of the Monsters, GigaBash, & Ark: Survival Evovled. I've watched everything Jurassic Park related. Not to mention all of the books & comics I've read, or the merchandise I own as a collector. I bought all three Tracer Packs for Operation Monarch, & bought Vanguard just for them. I bought an Xbox 360 & hard drive just to play King Kong & Godzilla. If I say something about Kaiju, it's probably a fact.
Looking forward to Ark: Survival Ascended, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Skull Island: Rise of Kong, Ark: The Animated Series, Ark II, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Kaiju No. 8, King Kong Disney+, & Troll 2.
This is the problem with the entire sequel trilogy, all the villains are wasted, and only Palpatine is any sort of threat and it was BORING AND UNORIGINAL. Kylo, Phasma, Hux, even the knights of ren, all killed off or "turncoat" because they couldn't be bothered to actually make them interesting. Maul/Jango/Boba/Dooku/Grevious/Jabba/Palpatine/Lando (not a true baddie but self-interested) in the prequels and originals were far more interesting and at least used decently.
snoke was such a waste of potential. Could have been a great, mysterious villain, but first they made him an arrogant clown and second, they downgraded him into a marionette of a "somehow returned" emperor. One of the most disappointing aspects of this trilogy. and there were many of them...
You can tell snoke was a poorly designed bad guy because he has no yellow eyes, yet has the other characteristics of dark side corruption? Worst star wars film ever
@@kylerstorm9260 Actually it is, it is dark side corruption as I said. Dooku does not have yellow eyes because he did not fully fall to the dark side, this is basic level knowledge every star wars fan knows
Imagine how much cooler it would have been if they didn't show us that Ben was moving the saber and instead they makes us think it was Rey to then have the camera move to his hand for the reveal
They literally just invent force powers to suit whatever ridiculous story beat they vomit out in these three movies and the new series. Why didnt the Emperor just use force lightning to destroy all the ships at the Battle of Endor as he did at the end of the ridiculous rise of a nobody. Why didn't Luke just teleport his lightsaber from Bespin? If Yoda can bring lightning from the sky as a corpse, where was he when Luke was on the second deathstar getting his ass kicked? I hate these movies utterly.
Its honestly really pitiful Snoke was a good villain and should've been the main villain of the sequel but yet somehow Disney uses Palpatine instead aka *somehow Palpatine returned*
I never cared much for Snoke in tfa but The Last Jedi put him front and center as the antagonist for every character. A man who lords himself above others, humiliates and overpowers them because he can. His aggorance was so unbelievably great that despite having all the power in the room, he failed to see that his taunting and hubris pushed Kylo to kill him and take the power for himself. He was never really Reys foe. He was Kylos and to a lesser extent, Hux's. His two prodigy's in a sense. Its such a shame Rise ruined all this build up to a final Kylo vs Hux showndown.
So IMO the biggest contradiction here is that Smoke claims here that he was the one who bridged their minds together and they were too foolish to resist the temptation.... But in the next movie it was because they were a dyad and Palps seemed surprised.
I think, for as messy as it might sound, the bridging of their minds was why they could see eachother, but the dyad was what stayed after he died, like why they could touch and form a connection, hence why palpie seems surprised. Pretty cool IMO because Palps has this line in TROS that a dyad has been “unseen for generations” and it looks like there’s another dyad in The Acolyte.
The only thing disappointing during the Mandalorian series was the realisation that the "DNA research on Grogu"-plotline is basically there to set up Snoke. I wish they would be able to take episode 7-9 back and make new ones with a better story. The actors weren't bad, it was just so poorly and - unintentional - funny written. Let someone work on this movies with taste and original ideas.
They made Snoke so powerful that they had to nerf him with the most ridiculous death in SW history; unless you believe in the theory that Snoke allowed himself to be killed (controlled by Sidious); a theory never even hinted at in TROS; messy trilogy.
Oh please. Seriously? Star Wars has always been filled with ridicoulous deaths. Remind me again how Palpatine died in Episide 6? How did Maul die in Episode 1?
Tbh beside he being a clone puppet for Sidious, he is pretty strong. Sadly, his force sense doesn't see Ben intent to kill him. (also I wish that in ep 9 his clone is actually for HIM not just for plot device for Palpatine, or being PLAGUEIS clone would be more awesome)
@@reverse2066 and being a puppet doesn't mean Snoke is Palpatine's new body? Have you ever heard the concept that a king is just for show, and the real ruler is someone behind? That the definition of "puppet" here. Snoke is powerful but lack the sense of danger, hence why Ben can kill him.
@@dabalma And it is in line with their original idea for Kylo Ren as this anti-Vader who starts conflicted but progresses into a devoded dark sider. This works best when he's to become the main villan in the end imo. Which Trevorow's script went by.
This was the only movie in the trilogy that tried to do something interesting. JJ did his usual copying (sorry, I meant “homages”), mystery boxes with no mysteries in them and random events happening with no logic
Have to disagree with this. He was really the only interesting new character to me after the first movie, so it was a huge disappointment. I guess it was part of that whole "subverting expectations" thing, but that just didn't work for me. I never even tuned into to watch the 3rd one, and based on the bits I've come across, I'm glad I didn't give it a bit of my money/time.
why does everyone keep saying smoke? It's snoke lol Anyways, interesting how snoke thinks he knows Kylo's mind when in reality, kylo kills him by turning the lightsaber and killing snoke lol
The sequels and prequels are similar in that the villains are defeated in each film unlike the original films, where Vader beats Obi-Wan and Luke, Han is taken by Boba, and Leia is captured by Jabba. (Contrasting this, Durge explodes, Ventress is abandoned by her master, Maul falls in a hole while sliced in half, Talzin is stabbed to death, Dooku loses his head, Grievous blows up, and Vader is defeated on Mustafar. Phasma is put in a trash compactor then falls out into space, Snoke is sliced in half and Sidious finally explodes into pieces depriving him of a body to use forever sending Sidious to the pits of Hell forever)!
Gut the diffrence is that the prequels have better writting. I give a fuck when the villian dies when the writting is good why he loses. And in the prequels the villians do also defeat the heros. Qui Gon gehts killed, Anakin loses his Hand, the clones kill the hole Jedi order etc.
@@Julian.31.12 Not really. Obi-Wan beats Maul, a villain literally with almost no lines, Mace kills Jango like it’s nothing and the separatists are slaughtered like cattle
@@NickMartinproductions what are you talking? Jango is not the Mainvillian in attack of the clones and its not relevant if the droids are getting destroyed or not because that is the PLOT of the prequels. Regardless of wheter the republic or the sepratatist win the only winner is Sidius. And yes Maul gets killed by Obi after the death of Qui Gon and an epic fight. Were are the epic fights in the sequels?
@@dabalmaI would day this is good Star Wars content. As an example Rian based Luke on arthurian legend just like Lucas had done. In the ending of Arthur's life it was his failure that destroyed him but he later rose to the status of a Legend. Like Luke who died in the most jedi way someone can die in. By protecting without killing.
0:11 “My disappointment in your performance can’t be overstated” That disappointment goes both ways given that Snoke is made to look lame and incompetent in the film despite a good performance by Andy Serkins.
@@darkwolf4434 The Last Jedi depicts Snoke as being strategically inefficient and weakening the First Order’s government for no real benefit. 1. Shows a failure of basic leadership 2. Force Chokes and publicly humiliates military personal like a child. 3. He puts the First Order’s roaming capital “The Supremacy” in the frontlines without any form of protection while chasing Resistance on the way to Crait and goads them into attacking it. This leads to the “Holdo Maneuver” destroying the capital and crippling the First Orders shipyards, supply, factory bases, and gov. 4. Shows stupidity and weakness when he taps into his apprentice mind acting oblivious to Kylo Ren’s blatant deception. This lead to Kylo force activating a lightsaber next to Snoke’s torso killing him instantly. Based on those actions from The Last Jedi, Snoke is incredibly inept in contrast to Palpatine and a boring villain at worst.
@@Jackal_El_Lobo34 1: What do you mean by that? Because I can't really put leadership into any evil Star Wars movie character. 2: Like Vader? 3: The Supremacy had shields. It was a capital ship like never before seen with an escort of a dozen Capital Ships that were more advanced than most ships in the galaxy. 4: Yes, Kylo outsmarted Snoke like Palpatine didn't expect Vader to kill him. Also, Snoke isn't Palpatine. He's a different character. Their personalities are also clearly different.
Carver was a product of the circumstances around him. He has a philosophy with some validity, but it kinda parallels the Crawford community back in Season 1 of Telltale’s Walking Dead. Those folks were also ruthless, survival of the fittest, but eventually the walkers got them the same. Poetic justice I guess.
Snoke could’ve been an awesome final enemy for episode 9. There’s literally snoke clones on exegol. It should’ve been Snoke cloning himself to remain forever powerful instead of pulling back palpatine.
To think that his clones were this powerful and that his true body was even stronger, possibly stronger than palpatine, yea I wish we could have seen that. I completely agree with you on this. Such a shame. Snoke had so much potential to be a great villain
@@ReckSaber3664 the snoke leading the first Order could’ve been one of many clone pawns, while snoke’s powerful & ancient true body resided on Exegol. The true snoke would be the most powerful force used we’ve ever seen and has been watching from the shadows since before the Phantom Menace. He could’ve achieved what Darth Plageuis could not
@@masterx6883 Exactly. Some proper lore couldve been revealed in IX. I also have some objections to his yellow-bath-robe appearance and would've preferred the old fashioned black-hooded version of a Sith-Lord. Not revealing his face or identity until IX could've also worked and would've made fans speculate even more. Ultimately, I would've been fine even if he had been revealed as Darth Maul or some other Sith Lord. He didn't even have to be "the most powerful of all time".
@danielk5780 Nah Darth Maul had run his course by this stage. He couldn't have run a whole First Order. A properly executed Snoke would have worked well.
