Sneak Peek of a conversation in The Mixiverse Version of The Last Jedi

(Like the nerdy Star Wars fan that he is, Harry eagerly approaches Luke. This a dream come true for the Jewish wizard… and who can blame him [stfu. He deserves this, okay?! The past year has been absolutely shitty for him! You Know Who may be back… but Luke Skywalker is definitely back. Fuck you, JKR, and fuck you, JJ Abrams! For two completely separate reasons, but fuck you both nonetheless!]. Harry waits for a beat before he taps on his childhood hero’s shoulder. The minute Luke turns around… Harry freezes. And then…) *it’s giving “can you sign my bow? You’re kind of my favorite Avenger”* [totally not foreshadowing anything. I’m totally not foreshadowing anyone] “Hi.”

(Luke doesn’t know who this child is… but maybe that’s fine) “Hi.”

“Um…” (Glancing at Dorothy, then back to Luke) *awkward Dan Radcliffe noises* “… I’m Harry Potter. I’m a really big fan.”

(The so called Last Jedi [cuz he’s not actually the last Jedi, but that’s a whole other story. 😉] offers his right hand) “Luke Skywalker.”

(Harry is so star struck that he doesn’t realize he’s touching a metallic hand) “Yes, you are.” (That is, until he looks down… but it doesn’t bother him) “Oh my god. I’m touching your cybernetic hand.”

[mark, don’t break character] (re: lightning scar) “What happened to your face?”

(A beat before Harry realizes that his scar is visible to his favorite character) “Oh. That. Um… uh, that’s a long story. But, er, short version? A genocidal, fascist dark wizard killed my parents when I was one. That same night, he tried to kill me with a killing curse, which bounced off of me because my mum used love to protect me before she died. I got this scar from the curse.” (Tough beat) “And he’s actually back now, so… it’s been rough.” [I mean, personally, I wouldn’t sugarcoat it like that, but hey. It’s whatever] “This helps though.”

(Dorothy grins as she tells her nephew…) “You’re kind of his hero.”

(Luke laughs softly, then sees Rey and Leia sitting together. He knows that his daughter needs him. So, he pats his new friend’s shoulder as he walks away, telling him…) “Well, take it easy, Harry Potter.”

(The Boy Who Lived is unable to process what just happened… and for the first time in a while, he’s glad of it) [it better be giving George Lucas and not someone else. Fuck that someone else] “Thank you… for your service.”

Colorism in Star Trek

Fun fact Star Trek fans, calling the lighter-skinned Zoe Saldana an upgrade of Nichelle Nichols in terms of looks while claiming SNW actress a downgrade is misogynoir and colorist.

Someone on Twitter asked what fictional death was the saddest. And I realized that 99% of the fictional deaths that affected me made me angry, not sad.

So, to all those writers and producers who killed my loves for bullshit reasons:

#fuck joe mallozzi #fuck Arika #fuck jj Abrams #fuck them all

[trek-tracks]

I feel like I simply. Could Not take the pressure of writing an official Star Trek novel or novelization, because, as someone who loves making silly jokes For The Bit, the potential repercussions are so intense.

You write one line about Spock getting drunk off the sucrose in a mint and suddenly there are 50,000 fics about Spock's addiction to chocolate and everyone has to rethink the entirety of the chemical properties of the Vulcan diet

Can you imagine what a misplaced pun might do

#star trek #star trek tos #spock #star trek iv: the voyage home #star trek iv #the voyage home #the one with the whales #vonda mcintyre #trek books #trek novelizations #all due respect to ms mcintyre your work was wonderful #but the vulcans getting drunk on chocolate thing has never resonated with me #and it's amazing what fanon will do with the smallest things #or you could be jj abrams and just fucking canonically blow up vulcan for shits #we are not the same

[animentality]

Rian Johnson didn't have to make Benoit Blanc gay but he did and for that and that alone, I will forgive him for Reylo.

#benoit blanc #glass onion #star wars #reylo #maybe i can even say that he didnt fuck up reylo that was jj abrams #our resident ruiner of good things

the thing about the kelvin timeline. hi. the thing about the kelvin timeline as a concept is it is so devastatingly good. like here we are in the future imagined by the original series and what do we do? we take this story that imagines a better, more tolerant universe and we strip it of all its optimism. we take this story and set it in a new timeline the nexus for which is a moment of catastrophic violence. and then that timeline is sealed by the destruction of an entire planet. and not just any planet. vulcan. the home of the people that initiate first contact, the event that is largely accepted as the catalyst that allows an earth decimated by ww3 to become an earth that could be home to all of starfleet. that's a fucking fascinating way to do a reboot. it's horrifying! when scotty says "this is clearly a military operation. is that what we are now" that's the whole question! and the answer seems to be yes! but we don't ever meaningfully engage with that question. or what it means for our characters and their lives and choices. and to top it all off, none of it was intentional! it's just that jj wanted to be making star wars instead. but nevertheless i am here. i am still here.

#god even the fucking uniforms being all black with just a strip of color #it is giving catws cap suit #rotating a version of into darkness in my mind that was more like catws and less like jj abrams tries to get picked for star wars: the movi #and now in the 2020s what are we doing? forced heterosexuality #if i think about it? well! so i don't think about it <3 #sorry i'm rereading a novel lenth aos fic and having feelings about it do you still think i'm hot

“I had an overall arc that in mind that [JJ Abrams] wanted to do,” Driver continued. “His idea was that [Kylo’s] journey was the opposite journey of Vader, where Vader starts the most confident and the most committed to the dark side. And then by the last movie, he’s the most vulnerable and weak. He wanted to start with the opposite. This character was the most confused and vulnerable, and by the end of the three movies, he would be the most committed to the dark side. I tried to keep that arc in mind, regardless if that wound up not being the journey anyway, because it changed while shooting. But I was still focused on that.”

“The last one, it changed into being, you know, about them and the dyad, and things like that,” Driver said. “And evolving into Ben Solo. That was never a part of it. He was Ben Solo from the beginning, but there was never a version where we’d see Ben Solo when I first signed up for it.”

Daisy Ridley revealed back in 2020 that her character, Rey, started out as having a connection to none other than Obi-Wan Kenobi before she ended up not having any connection to a pre-existing character in “The Last Jedi.” That was then retconned in “The Rise of Skywalker,” when Rey was revealed as a descendant of Emperor Palpatine.

“At the beginning there was toying with like an Obi-Wan connection,” Ridley said at the time. “There were like different versions, and then it really went to that she was no one. Then it came to Episode IX and J.J. pitched me the film and was like, ‘Oh yeah, Palpatine’s grandaughter.” I was like, ‘Awesome!’ Then two weeks later he was like, ‘Oh, we’re not sure.’ So it kept changing. Even as we were filming I wasn’t sure what the answer was going to be.”

this is what a shitshow production looks like, kids. not the actors' faults, it's allllll on the people upstairs. but this right here?.....this is what a shitshow looks like. 🫠

#reylo #adam driver #daisy ridley #rey of jakku #kylo ren #when no one in charge has no fucking idea what they're doing and are just talking shit and cashing a paycheck #the crew and the audience are the biggest victims at the end of the day- actors a very close second #what a disaster fuck jj abrams and tbh fuck rian johnson too not a single adult knew what they were doing #so so stupid it didnt have to be this way

do we agree that galaxy quest is one of those movies that really can't be remade today?

sure, they can try, but it would most likely come off as "haw-hee-haw-hee-haw let's make fun of star trek" and not an actual love letter to the series?

because whoever they would get to write/direct would not learn the right lessons from the original movie?

that said a potshot -figurative or literal- at jj abrams would be a-ok by me

#no seriously fuck jj abrams #hate that guy so much #galaxy quest #random crap

Your name is JJ Abrams. You are going to make a movie titled "Star [thing]". You make a pretty fun, if kinda shallow action movie with a few neat ideas and some really excellently-chosen actors, but also unnecessarily blow up a planet or two and add a couple of other questionable worldbuilding decisions that will negatively impact the franchise down the road. But overall, it is too well-directed and enjoyable a movie for most people to really be mad at in the long run.

A few years later, you decide to follow it up with the cinematic equivalent of a crime against humanity, that relies on mindless nostalgia and expanding on the prior-mentioned kinda bad decisions from the first movie, to just wind up doing unbelievable damage to the franchise you love, setting the tone for a bunch of high-budget but varying-quality television followups.

Also somewhere in there will be another film connected to these two, by a different director than you, that will take the good elements of your first film and expand on those instead while excising the bad, and generally bring enough good energy to mostly (if unfortunately not entirely) offset the damage your second one did.

Am I talking about Star Trek or Star Wars? Yes.

#not a reblog #star trek #star wars #jj abrams #but seriously the parallels are real #Star Trek 09 = The Force Awakens #ST Into Darkness = Rise Of Skywalker #ST Beyond = The Last Jedi #I feel like the moral of the story here #is you're probably fine letting JJ direct a movie for your franchise #but only once #and it might take some damage control afterward #but if you bring him back for a second go #then he WILL fuck everything up #and you will regret it #also dont let him blow up any planets

Warning discussion of the recent JJK manga chapters and previous arcs. MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD (and I’m sorry idk how to do the read more thing on here)

I’m dissatisfied and worried by this weeks chapter of JJK. The sentiment of “I like it when a character steals the show” is one thing, but just having a character take center stage out of the blue is a different story. I’ve been burned before so I hope it doesn’t end up like this, but I’m worried this is going to turn out like the last season of Game of Thrones. Like you do all this plot and character development and then abandon it at the last moment just to defy expectations which ultimately just makes your story worse. In this case I don’t think it’s about defying expectations intentionally, but I think Gege just genuinely hates Gojo so much that they’re nerfing the story. From my perspective, JJK has always been Gojo’s story. Like he’s not the protagonist but he’s the central character to the narrative. His relationship with Suguru, and now with the shade of Suguru that is Kenjaku, is what made all of this possible because of the Star plasma vessel mission. I genuinely don’t think that Gojo should have been brought back yet or at least that he shouldn’t have fought Sukuna. I kind of think the manga would be better if he never fought Sukuna now or any other time. I hope this fight is good, at this point anything could happen and I’ll keep my fingers crossed that I’ll like it, but I’m not excited for it. In fact I’m kind of angry because to me this should be Gojo’s fight. It still could be who freaking knows at this point, but to me this should be Gojo trying to reclaim Suguru’s body and finally give him rest and have closure for himself. Like I know I’m insane for Gojo but I also just genuinely think that’s what would be most narratively satisfying. Which would make Sukuna a fight for Yuji and the Jujutsu tech kids. I don’t know if that one would hold up in court but I’ll stand by the Gojo stuff. I don’t know, I just hate to see potential go to waste and it’s starting to feel more and more like that’s where JJK is heading. I genuinely, desperately hope not. But I’ve been hoping they’d say sike for months now and it feels less and less likely each week.

Watching the anime makes it even worse because there are so many moments that could pay off so well or lead to excellent parallels that just… haven’t. They still could, but with Gojo “dead” and showing no signs of return, Megumi in Sukuna purgatory, nobara in eyeball purgatory, so many characters forgotten off screen, and Yuji just having no screen time I’m just having trouble staying invested. Gege made me care for these guys!! And for the potential of a plot with them facing what Kenjaku had planned!! But the culling game was so weird and confusing and what’s happening now feels like they’re pulling at straws!! Like did they just not have it planned out this far?? Ouhg. Like I said I hope I’m wrong, I’d love to be wrong. I just needed to vent about this because the Shibuya arc is genuinely an excellent piece of writing. It’s devastating and sets up so much room for potential consequences and growth. And, so far at least, the results have not met up to that excellent set up. I wish them the best and I hope they stick the landing, but I’m not nearly as excited or invested as I once was.

#jujutsu kaisen #jjk #jujutsu kaisen spoilers #jjk spoilers #I kind of consider the mini maki arc a in connection with shibuya because while it’s a kind of pay off #I consider it set up for a new direction for her character #there have def been parts of the culling game I’ve enjoyed and maybe I’m being short sided #but they all feel like they’re not leading anywhere because of the new chapters #truly that last page bugged the shit out of me #mother fucker I barely remember who you are!!!! THIS SHOULD BE GOJOS FIGHT #and after choso and Yuki to I’m just pissed #like bro what is happening #feels like Gege did some fucking jj abrams mystery box bs and we all know how that turned out #idk #I still care about all of the individual characters #it just feels like Gege doesn’t #and so they’re abandoning those characters stories despite it making the overall story significantly worse #ouhg I’m going to bed #I’m begging you get better soon jjk #timesnewrants

we just rewatched the first movie of the Star Trek reboot and by god that movie is so funny, if you've watched even a couple episodes of TOS

#tess is rambling #don't get me wrong i still love it and the cast is amazing #but this thing makes no fucking sense (affectionate) #jj abrams really went 'but i'd rather make a star wars' and continued to shoehorn as much star wars into a star trek as possible #also my jim kirk not only leaving romulans to die but also shooting at them while they're helpless? #i think the fuck not #and that boy gets choked a LOT in this movie #i'd go and look for a kinky spirk choking fic but alas... ao3 is down

[maulthots]

anyway would quinto in his bad beyond wig ever say anything about how the healthy release of emotions is frequently unhealthy for the people closest to you? no, because he's out here crying all the time anyway.

#if i watched aos after tos i would have eaten my fucking hat and spat it out in jj abrams face #cathy watches star trek

[just-in-case-iloveyou]

do i have serious vertigo and balance issues that can severely affect my daily life (and have done so in the past)?? yes

am i going to watch this in IMAX on May 17 and (probably) get fucked six ways to Sunday by it? you bet your ass i am

#glen powell #stupid man #it's his damn fault #the things i do for him #glen fucking powell #the blue angels #also i adore jj abrams #and i have for years #jj abrams #anya answers #a rumor in st petersburg #golden retriever man #my golden boy #love of my life #my husband #my heart #my sweet boy

I've been doing some research for an article I've been writing, and I found out that JJ Abrams originally wanted to blow up Coruscant in Episode VII, and in an extremely rare intervention, the Story Group said, "No you can't do that."

Holy shit. The implications and ripple effect throughout the entire Star Wars universe for the rest of everyone telling stories in the Star Wars universe. Obviously, JJ gave zero f**k's about what this meant for the IP.

It made me think of something Neil Gaiman once said about not breaking the toys when you play in someone else's Sandbox. Obviously, JJ didn't get the memo.
