HelloGreedo Gets Butthurt | EFAP Highlight 

I wouldn’t even mind if they did this, if they did it with some *talent.* Outside of Andor, nothing has any degree of creativity or effort. Mandalorian is a good concept, or was, but nothing was done with it. Ashoka is, again, a good concept with nothing done with it. Jedi Survivor is kind of neat? And I think it’s got more than a bit of potential, but Darth Vader being present throws this big wrench in the works for me, because I have to see how they’re going to reconcile Cal Kestis being around when Obi Wan and Luke were doing their thing, without it weakening either character’s stories. Which is a very difficult thing to do.

@@AdorniI liked the new Jedi games, I found them endearing and interesting, and whilst I would have preferred them to not directly involve larger figures such as Vader I still found them to be smaller contained tales happening elsewhere in the galaxy whilst all of the mainline events are at another place or at another time. I hope they finish the trilogy effectively in the third game, because I did really like Cal as a character. I suppose they may have him sacrifice himself or something similar, sometime before the age of Luke and the OT.

Yeah the expanded universe had some really out there and creative stuff. Like the empire finding a lizard thats resistant to the force and creating rigs for stormtroopers to wear that contained those lizards and give them force resistant armor. Disney would never come up with somthing that creative.

I mean they never threw anything out because it was never canning to begin with and thank God for that. I mean the Vong more absolute garbage considering the fact that they were Star Trek villains that got lost and somehow ended up in Star Wars

I actually didn’t know about the extended universe until a few years ago. I remember when I was complaining to my friend about how terrible the sequels were, and he proceeded to enlighten me about the extended universe that Disney had thrown away in favor of the crap pile we got, and it just made me even more angry. It wasn’t just that Disney was feeding us a lump of crap, it was that they had thrown out a five star meal in favor of the lump of crap.

And the Sith Lord, Darth Sue, Rey Palpatine has usurped the Jedi Order, bringing about a new dark age.

Does that mean Rey's character got prematurely aborted?

Remember when they made a Solo movie after they killed Han Solo? So it wasn't enough to kill him once, they had to go back in time and assassinate his character a second time.

As well as the legacy of Vader and Palpatine. Sure, the Emperor was a villain, but bringing him back ruins his actual place and importance in the canon. Now, no one is “dead,” because “somehow” they can return with it explanation. But, the one thing that is dead, is Star Wars.

I disagree. Leia was already a corpse in TFA

Really? Wow, so he's just a soy clump that approves of everything in the sequels because DISNEY DISNEY DISNEY. Thank God they cannot breed.

"But its difffeeeeerrrreeeennnnnntttttttt"

But have you considered muh theeeeeeeeeeeemes?!?!?

What’s worse is the smell is attracting scavengers…now the sandbox is being circled by vultures just waiting to get their turn to defile said sandbox…

_One_ of? By this point, this isn’t a sandbox. It’s a litter box

I thought those were Lincoln logs

I can see parallels with the UK, history being rewritten and sh@ on, but quite happy to prosper on the results of that history.

*THIS*

"Yes, and I hope they burn in Hell."

Im sorry but star wars was not the epicenter of any zeitgeist. It was always a surface level icon, carried by merchandising.

@@xenn4985 this.

@@xenn4985 I disagree, if only for the fact that Star Wars was one of the first big blockbuster movies that drew in millions of people to theaters. Outside of that yeah, completely agree.

@@nagger8216 right, so it was an epicenter of hollywood culture. A small subsections of the zeitgeist.

@@xenn4985Talk about splitting hairs, holy shit.

Thematic reality

They're also coarse, and rough and gets everywhere. Joke aside, I always wonder if doing "nasty" stuff with the sands applicable. Just because it seems fun, doesn't mean it's "allowed"

@@r3dr4te963 "poop! Poop!!! Haha" - that's how you sound 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆

That's the most efap thing I've ever read. Thank you.

That is just the truth.

Obi Wan show should've been a resounding success and S2 and 3 should've already been out. But it's dead. It was one of the most desired shows

@@fieldmarshalbaltimore1329 That was one of the most depressing watches of my life with my friend, made me know that the smallest infintismal hope that anything would be good from disney, is a fool's hope, a pipe dream.

Remember when Star Wars was guaranteed to sell?

I could kinda sorta respect it if he was like "well that was the old me, I was more negative back then and now I like all the SW movies" but he's dying on that lonely prequels bad, Disney Wars good hill.

I'm curiou$ a$ to what changed hi$ mind on the$e i$$ue$.

I hate those type of people.

He's the RU-vid Version of Simon Pegg

Because back then, the general public's view of Star Wars was still pretty good despite the prequels. So he felt he had room to make fun of them like many youtubers did. It was only when Star Wars started to go down in popularity and reception that he started to feel the need to defend it to the end

yesn't. I consider it a different kind of creativity. Mine works better off a base. I have a friend who can work on an empty canvas with no problems. The thing is, whenever you do literally anything you "limit your creativity". The moment you put a single word on paper you already rule out a ton of possibilities. If you have a hint of creativity, this isn't a problem. "On a stormy night..." is a very limiting opening statement. So is "on a tuesday afternoon...".Somehow they're not crying about those things. It's always "This renowned brand I was given with a massive paycheck is limiting my creativity"

I don't agree with this statement at all. It takes a lot of creativity to create and set up something from scratch that will grow an audience. Working off a base is also tricky for a different reason since you have rules for the story put in place that you have to work within. What kills creativity is complaining that you can't do whatever you want because things already established contradicts your idea.

It was alive? Idk if I’m just not a SW fan, or the most Chad SW fan. Because I was a kid when Phantom Menace came out, it was the first new Star Wars in my life, I was disappointed but enjoyed parts of it. Episode II killed my buzz, and III was redeeming, relative to II. - but I was not excited for Disney SW, and though Star Trek by Jar-Jar Abrams was competent, I didn’t have hopes for TFA - I still have not watched a single Disney SW product outside Mando Season 1, and countless videos shittin on all the Disney SW trash I cannot imagine watching TFA, TLJ, and still having hope for TROS

Brilliant take. They are just like all the HeMan toys I had as a kid. SW already had speeder bikes and land/airspeeders.

A fun example would be the fog in Silent Hill 1

@@CJ-kg7yqOr Jaws not showing the shark for most of the movie

But the sacred texts! :P

Ironically Takei would shit on all contiuity if he was asked to for the "right" reason (introduce "T" caracter for ex.) Good story but bad ex. Actors are VERY rarely true gatekeepers of fact and canon

the expanded universe was something of a sandbox. but calling it a sandbox is too loose, it's more like how middle earth and the world of D and D is. follow the rules and write what you want under them, its how we got some bangers in the EU. you want to bend the rules, consult the game makers (George Lucas greenlit every EU project)

@@silverprimus321boi9that and it was always implicitly understood by all involved that the movies are "hard" canon and everything else various degrees of "soft" canon and that George could disregard anything not in the movies in his next movies

@@arafat2924 more or less. but they still work and didn't overly screw over canon, at least until the later years of its existence like TCW 2008 and the Denningverse.

@@silverprimus321boi9 yeah I never considered Filoni's Clone Wars show canon tho

@arafat2924 well according to Disney and filoni, everything that's in the shows and movies are canon. So that gives filoni and all the writers the ability to overrule any books comics or games in their way. So I think George Lucas's approach to the eu has had a lot worse impact now.

Yahtzee made a pretty good case that the prequels being bad reinvigorated the Star Wars fandom in a way that other franchises weren't able to. Like, everyone knows Sonic The Hedgehog even though Sonic hasn't had a genuinely good game since Sonic Generations (which still had arguably the worst boss fight in the entire series as the final boss) because people haven't stopped memeing on modern Sonic games being lousy and the fanbase being cringe. Honestly, maybe the problem was that the sequels weren't bad enough. Like, the entire thing should have been filled with memeworthy awfulness, but what we got was just really boring.

@ashblossomandjoyoussprung.9917 I mean I disagree completely on the whole prequels were bad thing. I enjoyed them when I was a kid and I still enjoyed them as an adult. There's really badass fights throughout the prequels, it added a ton of lore and put the EU on overdrive and lastly Palpatine's ascension was pretty well done. I never hated on the prequels.

To be fair SWT’s chat is once of the worse I’ve ever seen haha. A majority of his fans are like him and have accepted that just because it’s star wars we should accept whatever is put in front of us and even if it’s horrible at least we got another Star Wars thing. Thats how 90% of them are. Toxic af too lol.

It was basically a jedi nap

I didn't watch Rise nor plan to. Are you telling me they actually used Team Heal from Jedi Outcast's multiplayer for a plot point?

​​@@XenoSpyroTwo characters gets back from the brink of death in separate instances. Second instance was arguably even an example of someone being brought back from death.

The one game I can remember than had that ability were the jedi knight games and revenge of the sith game.

There was one instance of healing someone from the brink of death iirc, with Cade Skywalker in the legacy series. But that was a unique dark side ability specific to Cade and wasn’t just a casual part of the universe.

I never watched HelloGreedo, but I’m one of the few that absolutely HATES RLM’s prequel reviews. On more than one occasion I’ve found myself shouting “did you pay ANY attention to the movie?” when watching the reviews.

Na just the OT. The prequels are still bad. George doesn't know how to direct. And the Disney SW are a whole new, equally bad if not worse set of movies. The prequels gave power to the idea of SW being a sandbox, which I despise like many others

Nice. 😎

Yup, I've yet to find anybody who applies that principle 100 percent. There's always something that you're not allowed to change.

Yeah, I definitely respect Hellogreedo more than other shills.

I agree Stitch to me comes off as a guy who's not as smart he thinks he is when it comes to certain things by saying alot but meaning very little.

Ironically, I wish they WOULD reset 100%, then retell everything from the start, get to some kind of end, then repeat instead of this absolutely confusing continuity that references some comics from decades ago as canon but wipes out or changes pieces the last few years while staying at least somewhat close to the pre-reboot situation. It’s why a lot of the comics I buy these days are from one era (pre-Crisis) instead of keeping up with something they’ll reboot again in a few years anyway.

comics should probably have someone go over them and decide what is canon and then write a rulebook based on it. Every new writer can then reference that book and additions will be made as time goes on.

​@@John-fk2ky That may seem like a fair thing to ask for, but in today's world, that just wouldn't fly. What you are referring to is "The Fleeting Demographic Rule". The idea behind it is that when you're writing something that appeals to a young age demographic, you can recycle plots previously done five-to-ten years ago, and nobody will notice because the people who would've noticed have moved on already. In comics, that began to fall out of style in the 70's when comic companies (particularly Marvel) began pivoting towards writing more mature stories that would appeal to people older than thirteen. And since they did that, the people who were children reading comics in the 60s stuck around and kept reading comics in the 70s and onwards. This is pretty much the way most "nerdy" fanbases are now. They may have a good portion of their fanbase be young children, but a good chunk will be veteran fans who've been there for a long time. And with the Internet, came fansites and fan run archives like all the Wikis. And these websites allow fans to chronicle the events of a comic, movie or game, and even compare the various installments in case of "plot recycling". And plot recycling is very much looked down upon nowadays for obvious reasons. I know I went on for a bit, but my point is that continuity is the name of the game at this point, and if it looks like your recycling your ideas and plots from previous stories, the fans will notice and call you out on it, calling you an untalented and uncreative writer at that, and that your franchise has become stale and stagnant.

It's not surprising at all. He's the same as all the other RLM type shills.

​@@NoobTamerRLM are shills now?

​@@NoobTamerthey pretty much still maintain that the prequels are bad and that Disney Star Wars is bad also? Not seeing any shilling from RLM.

@@MikeSandersonVideos I think you missed my point. I was saying Greedo acts just like RLM, hence saying he is a "RLM type shill". They all share bad opinions regarding Star Wars, that is how they are shills.

Inb4 a Hellogreedo Stan says “NO YOURE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT”

I think that the Synthetic Man crowd has a near-monopoly on that nowadays.

Because there is a grain of truth in the synthetic man simps. Just one grain, it's a pretty empty truth silo, but one is infinitely more than zero

@@janehrahan5116 well, its a hard truth to admit, but occasionally even hasan, vaush, moviebob, etc have a correct take. It's mostly by happenstance, so it doesn't give them any credibility since aside from that one take their entire body of work is straight shit. Same goes for SM. His entire modus operandi is viewing things through a particular lens (same as the other 3). Occasionally the lens will align correctly.

@@CharlesUrban Yeah, I don't even think even the most hardcore shill simp is as thirsty as AnnaWaifu.

I think they're talking about a sandbox game like Garry's Mod. Not a literal sandbox.

We could just declare the Disney era non-canon and bring the EU back.

lol You don't respect him anymore because you disagree about one dumbass on Twitter? Holy pettiness, Batman.

He made his career shitting all over the prequels for contradicting the OT, so I would guess no. He’s just a Disney Wars simp.

Well that’s because SCP is a massive collaborative community project with probably a thousand individual writers at this point, trying to enforce canon when it comes to something like SCP is a bit impossible or you’ll have at least a dozen people arguing about who’s SCP is actually responsible for the Tunguska Event or something like that.
