@@rickmorty556 lmao right
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Getting mad at john for being gentile and beating around the bush is like getting mad at water for being wet.
They were found out when they ran out of source material from George RR Martin
@@44r0n-9 They were speciticalls and they were amazing specticalls. But yes the character motivation, general logic and story of these episodes as well as most of season 6 were really bad.
Examples:
Sansa lets Rickon die for NO reason. She knew the vale army was coming. With that leverage the conversation with Ramsay would have been way different.
Ramsay shoots at the Giant instead of the logical choice, Jon, because the Show wanted something dramatic but did not dare what the books dictated in earlier seasons.
Dany gives the Iron Islands independence for no reason. She gets a hundret ships, but she has thousands and Yara tells her that Euron is a macho strongman ass and wants to marry her, but thats exactely Danys type (Drogo, Dario).
Jon is made King in the north. May make sense to us. But they live under fudalism and they just made a bastard king. Imagine in the next election one guy sais "I don't care if they are dogs. They should also get a vote!" That is how absurd that is in universe.
Cerseis plan is horrible on so many levels. Even though the show forgot that somewhere in season 5, there are people who are not main characters with motivations and plans. If the mom of the italien prime minister blew up the vatican and decide to be the new ruler. A lot of those people would pop up and have something to say. There would be riots and so on. Also why did she lead Lancel into the dungen where he could have prevented the explosion, had he been faster?
By the sept blowing up the show gets around revealing margerys plan, because there was none, because they can't write intrigue, so they kill of characters before intrigue can develop. If they don't we get Littlefinger in Season 7.... The dumbest thing until pretty much all of season 8.
I could go on. Season 6-8 have no character motivation/consistency, no logic, no intrigue, no tension, nothing of what made Game of Thrones great. They had great spectacle and I still enjoyed season 6 for that and even had fun with season 7, but D&D are NOT good writers.
@@44r0n-9 I personally think its cos they had more notes from GGRM to work with on season 6. The further away they got from the books the less notes they had to go on, which explains the accelerated rate in which the story was told.
Also one of them is responsible for writing Wolverine origins sooo 🤷♂️😂
@@44r0n-9 Amazing scenes in those episodes, but overall S6 was the worst season so far, only beated by S7 and S8. They had those great scenographies in mind, but not really a sense of how to build nuanced characters and a complex story without resorting to those old and boring clichés that Martin had tried to subvert with GoT books.
They still made the best show in history. Period.
I would say that the lack of a proper ending and proper closure for the characters of GoT, i.e.: the botched S8, spoils all the isolated good scenes and moments of S6. The problem of the episodes you point out, in fact, is that they do not end anything, and do not give closure to anything, but are only episodes in a grand overarching story that does not make sense in the end.
Endgame, OTOH, gives closure for the overarching story and a proper send-off to its most beloved characters, and for this reason the obvious plot-holes of the movie are ignored.
The adagio "all is well that ends well" works also in reverse: if it ends bad, then it spoils all good.
Star Wars loses??? More like we all won.
Fr they should have lucus creative what ever it called
How did you win? It's not enough Star Wars fans are trying to drive away Rian Johnson, you're also driving two other critical acclaimed writers? Sure, Star Wars won. *eyeroll*
The key is they need to stop milking it.
It's a win, because they develop horrible storys (imo). They got a lot of credit on GoT but that was the books. They were great at adapting. As soon as they had to come up with something original they drove it of a cliff so hard.
@@filmliebhaber5283 I agree but also the old republic has a rich source material which they can adapt and turn it in to a masterpiece
I would love to see either Chris McQuarrie, James Mangold, Brad Bird or Matthew Vaughn take a crack at Star Wars.
Chris Mcquarrie isnt interested anymore due to his reaction to The Last Jedi backlash
AppleWasMyIdea James Mangold wanted to make a Obi Wan movie for the longest time . That would’ve been amazing .
Nice picks. I'd love to see the Russo Brothers try one as well.
Christopher Nolan as well would be awesome
Chris McQuarrie won't do star wars
John spending 20 minutes to say what he could've said in 10, and Chris saying "a huh", "mmm" and nodding her head for 20 minutes...
He seriously said the same thing 10 different times...
Lmfao oh noooo lol John sounds like Bruce from family guy lol
I knoooooooow (Bruce's voice) 😂😂😂
I guess you could say that Solo under Lord and Miller was......the Rogue One.
*Slow-claps*
Bravo!!
WOP WOP!
🎶 YYYYEEEEAAAHHHHH 🎶
Oh my... LOL 😂
18:01 Robert Meyer Burnett has changed so much!
John's guest said "Maybe because she's a woman!!" Because she is a woman is the reason she still has the job!!!
Aaron the great Ding! We have a winner.
so true lol , the sad part is i do agree there should be more roles with women leads and more women in power , i dont see anything wrong with that IF they are the best person for the job , I dont think most people would argue that women have been held back and more should get a chance but KK had her chance and she is blowing it time to change management , That comment mb because she is a woman was nothing more than just plain ignorant and il use the word TOXIC it makes her just as guilty as anyone that does have a problem with women and that ITS SHOW BUSINESS NOT SHOW FRIENDS comment is the dumbest fing thing i have ever heard , If someone has a business they want to make a product that people are going to buy so that they can get richer and if the fans dont buy , Guess what you wont be in business very long , Imagine that fans do matter and when you are out of business i guess you end up doing things like making a utube channel lol
Sorry for the rant @Aaron the great that comment she made just really got me riled up lol
Lol.. do you think Disney would prefer to keep a woman than to earn money? I mean just check her record. She and Spielberg have been working very closely for like a long time.... she has an excellent reputation. But yes, recent decisions have been poor.
I absolutely agree with this statement. I believe if she were a man she'd be toast by now
“Loses” is the wrong word, more like “got rid of”.
John, you are wrong, for the 1000th time, the problem was NOT Daenerys going mad, is how it happened, it didn't make any sense because it wasn't fleshed out properly. But lets be honest, you have admitted that you never were a big fan of GoT, or know the names or places or twists of the show, but if you could remember how good were the first 4 seasons of GoT maybe you would see the world of difference in the writing compared to season 8. In any case i'm glad for Star Wars.
@@blipmachine Exactly, no body wanted or expected the Red Wedding to happened, but when it did, it caught everyone off guard, and if there was complaining they were complaining TO the characters as if they were real, because they felt real, but Nobody was complaining about the writing.
@TheKarlOshaughnessy or just read the books
Star Wars fans dodged a bullet here.
Inventory until they ran out of books and had to do it themselves. Ya the people tuned in but that’s what will happen when you have good Will
Why?
Inventory to that I would say that when directors stray from the source material after previously remaining faithful, they clearly suffer and peter Jackson is a great example of that.
@@Blballerboy no they adapted someone else's story. One of these were these clowns decided to sow up Deadpool's mouth and give him katanas in his arms in X-Men origins wolverine. That had rich source material and benioff still screwed it up and blamed the fans.
@@Blballerboy to this day Benioff still defends his decision to absolutely destroy Deadpool's character. Don't be so niave that you believe these clowns don't have an ego. Besides, the screen play wasn't the problem with Green lantern kid, it was the entire premise. Not to mention the acting. Those are areas that Logan excelled at. I gave your precious GoT creators credit for having ability to adapt but writing on your own they lack serious ability. You can't pick and choose kid, grow up.
I need that John "Oooh noooo" as my ringtone lol.
Get out of here with the "maybe it's because she's a woman". In the same conversation you highlight how we are so upset with the choice that these two male writers made, yet because we have a problem with a female were automatically sexist. The hypocrisy.
Just heaps more hate on them since they rushed GOT to do this 🌝
Maybe, they rushed to start their deal with Netflix considering how much they are paying them...
They didn't rush for anything. Star Wars deal came up almost 2 years after they announced the end of GoT. People need to stop repeating this nonsense.
@@MatiZ815 did it? Wasnt it announced after season 6?
@@GreyEagle dude the scripts were already written for final seasons and dates were announced too just stop the hate respect them for creating the greatest tv show of all time
@@narenbaradwaj5058 They rushed the scripts because in a Vanity Fair article at the beginning of 2018 Bob Iger said they'd approached him with a Star Wars project. He said in 2018 that they approached him a couple years before. You're full of crap if you think that those scripts were done around 2015 or 2016. I appreciate George RR Martin's great storytelling and not those clowns.
At least Phil Lord and Chris Miller got to work on Into the Spiderverse.
Oscar award winning spiderverse. Solo didn’t even win best kiss at the mtv awards
Spiderverse was WAY better than it deserved to be. I love that little film. So much creative energy bouncing off that script.
@@shill1444 I loved into the spider-verse to but an animated movie allows for a lot more creative freedom than a live-action one. Still though incredible movie.
@@zechrojas2202 - right. Good point. Like Akira or Princess Mononoke or anything Satoshi Kon did.
They dont deserve to work in TV/Film again let alone work on Star Wars.
ahaha damn feelings where hurt with the last GOT season damn ahhah.
i was hurt too by the way
Seriously? They should most definitely deserve to work again. You have the option of not watching their new shows/movies.
@@farakhhanif They showed their incompetence and lack of passion when they refused 2 extra GOT seasons and shortened season 8 down to 6 episodes. They care about money not there work that's why they dont deserve to work again.
Connor Watkinson I agree that they made some bad calls, but there are people in Hollywood who have done things much worse who still find work in the industry, so they should be allowed to work again.
@@farakhhanif Just because they can find work doesn't mean they deserve it
"Maybe its because shes a woman?"
REALLY? You're going to play that card?
killerdude35 I thought the same thing when I heard that...🤦♂️
@@myrealnameisjohndoe116 I hope John chewed her ass over that remark off camera. Theres no room for that political nonsense here.
It's not a card if it's true.
people are giving her a pass for her decisions maybe it’s because she is a woman
@@neosoontoretro it's not though. Kathleen kennedy had a great career before star wars but she seems to have lost her touch with star wars
That ohh no is. Officially classic🤤🤤🤤🤤
seriously i loved it! lol
i dont see this as a loss...i mean look what they did with GOT season 8 i am happy they won't destroy star wars even more then it s already destroyed
Benioff is also one of the guys that thought it was a good idea to sow up Deadpool's mouth and give him katanas in his arms. To this day he still thinks it was a good idea and it was the fans fault because if they were too faithful to Deadpool's character fans would be upset. Thats how these clowns think.
you sound like the gay guy from family guy
"Oh no"
@@rlamas4783 "I know"
His name is Bruce, but "I knoooooooow" 😂😂😂
Clearly Jon hasn’t seen the news that D&D were on record this weekend essentially saying they were making it up all along, got lucky with the actors, etc. The GRRM text made their job really easy. Seasons 7-8 exposed them. Yes all of those awards are nice but a lot of those were for crew and off camera ppl not D&D.
Time will tell if Netflix and/or Star Wars made the right decision. Remember how D&D floated a tv project in which the Confederacy won the civil war.....?
I sincerely doubt that he didn't see it yet but he just doesn't want to acknowledge it because he is a known bootlicker.
Welln the show did win the big awards including directing(D&D) and Outstanding Drama.... I didnt like the final 2 seasons though.
2016 Rogue One Director threatened to be fired if he didn't let Tony Gilroy to quitely come in and do reshoots
2017 Rian Johnson offered trilogy before Last Jedi even came out
2017-2018 Lord & Miller fired from clashing with Kazdan and Kathleen Kennedy. Ron Howard reshoots half of Solo
September 2017 Colin Trevorrow Fired from Episode 9 after clashing with Rian Johnson over episode 8 and Kennedy
2019 Benioff and Weiss ditch planned Trilogy
This whole thing's been a total clusterfuck and management trusting and rewarding the wrong people. Lucasfilm is in dire need of a management change who actually cares about Star Wars and knows the core mythology of it at the very least
Having read about the bts of the first season of GOT its very clear these guys are simply fan boys that were given a budget.
Love the passion!
I think Star Wars are going to find it difficult to get directors after what happened to Rian Johnson.
Ruin Johnson
Rian "Round head" Johnson
Look more to me like Kennedy is doing her job spot on. Let's recap:
Josh Trank - reports of dickish behavior on the set of Fant4stic, which bombed.
Colin Trevorrow - the colossal failure of The Book of Henry combined with creative differences (the timeline indicates that he couldn't work around Carrie Fisher's death).
Phil Lord and Chris Miller - repeatedly going off-script and refusal to compromise. Hijacking the movie in your own words.
David Benioff and DB Weiss - allegedly quit due to scheduling conflicts, although it could easily be that Kennedy and company just saw the final season of Game of Thrones.
It looks to me like Kennedy it weeding out the bad apples. Also, the Garreth Edwards thing is blown way out of proportion. He was credited as the director, so per the rules of the Directors Guild of America, he directed ninety percent of the movie. So stop it with that.
I'd rather a producer fire the directors who aren't getting the job done than just roll whatever bullshit said directors are cooking up. If WB had done this we might have a DCEU that doesn't have four terrible movies out seven.
Josh Trank is an entirely different matter. Kennedy fired him because apparently she saw how much disarray the FANT4STIC film was in, and decided she didn't want anything more to do with Josh Trank.
KK didn't vet Rian Johnson either. SMH. And I say that as a Rian Johnson fan.
Yes she did! Jesus christ anyone who believes Kathleen kennedy just said "there ya go do what you like with episode 8" is deluded. She signed off off on the story just like feige sigs off on every MCU film. Shes the boss and approved it. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron.
"Oh no I'm so busy now " 😂😂😂
Kind of suprised a comprmise wasn't reached where benioff and weiss would write the screenplay and be hands off as producers. I could see that be an out of court settlment. It allows them to be invovled with star wars and go to netflix earlier. That disney wouldn't have to spend time and money and not go to court.
Lol when it cut to Kris and the name tag said Robert Meyer Burnett I had to take a double take
Kathleen Kennedy has been a disaster for the Star Wars universe and she needs to go!
That's great news. Very good decision to push them out.
So two troubled movies, over five lost or fired directors, seemingly no plan, two announced trilogies now believed canceled and the finale of your first trilogy expecting less paying viewers than the first two. Maybe we're more concerned about what's drafted on the desk than the anatomy below it.
So excited about D&D getting the boot. Star Wars’ future was looking bleak for a while.
John, coming with the truth! Ohhhhh nooooo LOL
You make a good point at 4:48, John!
And on top of that, HBO cancelled the Naomi Watts prequel! GoT in the news for all the wrong reasons!!! Yay!!!!
Directors need to solely be focused on their Star Wars project. It needs to be respected.
Exactly! They already signed on with Disney. Thats what was weird about this.
Honestly season 8 winning best writing more lowers the Emmy's than elevates season 8. You don't get near universal hatred if you're brilliant.
That's Kevin Feige starting to establish his influence on Star Wars.
I think the scariest thing about John cape a us he has trained mma I believe and I could totally picture him in phsyco mode
Guys, it’s all a joke. You can clearly see that Kathleen Kennedy is planning to be the newest host of Celebrity Apprentice!
“Loses”
Yeah you're right they got many nominations and if you want to look at their writing just look at their recent interview.
Pretends to be shocked
This is my good news to me.
6 directors gone in 4 years. D&D, Trevorrow, Lord and Miller, Edwards (althouh he was never technically fired, just demoted, but still fired.) Trank. This is on Kennedy. She needs to go.
Should I make a list of all directors who left MCU? Cause I'm sure if it was a thousand no one would be asking for Kevin Feige to be fired. I wonder why that is.
@@neosoontoretro theres a difference, if this was the first time some directors left SW fine, cool. But six directors in FOUR years, and keeps happening. What are Lucascilm and KK doing? Marvel has lost like what 2 directors in 10 years? Feige should be fired if he lost 10 directors in 5 years. He should be fired if that happened. But it didn't. As the president of a company you should know whats going on. Wether a man or woman who is in charge, they have to be blamed and accountable for when high profile people leave any company. Its on you the president of the company.
@@neosoontoretro dude all the directors left mcu are during perlmutter era and left very early in the development but not during the shooting or production both Edgar wright and Patty Jenkins left before the production began that's it no other directors left and it's marvel that didn't choose them
@@narenbaradwaj5058 Hmm, you could say the same for Lucasfilm. Aside from Lord & Miller all the directors who left during early developments.
@@neosoontoretro well technically, Lord and Miller were actually fired well into production, Kennedy actually removed them. Thats why their still credited as executive producers, they had about 50-75% complete and then Lucasfilm brought in Ron Howard.
Never say never ;) It will be tough to match it, but some day it will.
The wolverine.... Oops!
does this mean that it'll be more than three years before we get another star wars movie? or is it possible that Lucasfilm is going to focus on series on Disney+
You know what I say, both of the duo and Kennedy came into a franchises that already been establish. To prove their worth they have to do something that of their own or something that not already very popular. The GOT books were huge from the get go. Star Wars is one of the most popular franchise, It print money regardless. The duo is doing something different now so let see how their next project turn out. If it good than we know they are just that good. Until Kennedy bring out something of hers that not Star Wars than she still hasn't proven anything to me.
Campea keeping it real! Lol.
Well I won't lose any sleep over them not being involved with Star Wars after the writing choices of the last season of Game of Thrones I know some people liked it but I definitely didn't.
I still can't decide their quality as writers and i want them to do something great. But im glad Star Wars isn't where they get the chance to prove it.
thank god, after the finale and that terrible panel they were poison
habbogigi I’m betting John didn’t read about the panel.
To be honest I’m kind a happy about this. I know there are fans that were trying to get a Game of Thrones style Star Wars project off the ground, but what everybody is failing to realize is George Lucas when he made the original trilogy and the prequel‘s he wanted to keep this a family friendly project. So my question is how do we know that it was a contract thing? How do we know that there are three Scripps were not incredibly dark and violent? And also if it is a contract thing we don’t know what they were getting paid to make the Star Wars movies. I think before you go off on Kathleen Kennedy you need to answer those questions. Netflix is a beast of a bargain maker because they were able to do projects for less than full price on some accounts, so it is entirely possible that Netflix said oh well guess what we’re going to double your pay for what you’re getting on the Star Wars movies so then they said well then screw you Star Wars. But I think there is way too little information at this point to fire our guns at the head woman because it could just be a matter of wheeling and dealing under the table done by them.
This sucks major Drogon balls!! I read they were given full control of a complete trilogy. Why meddling in their process? All they needed to tell them was: "No incest, keep it pg13 guys!" And that's it!!
Kathleen Kennedy seems like a producer that has lost her touch with this franchise. From the beginning, she has had no plan for the continuation of the Star Wars lore and has basically been flying by the seat of her pants since they got the property. It’s unforgivable that she never even took the time to draw up a detailed outline for the plots of episodes 7-9. On top of that, she has proven to be a massive hype beast for directors. She simply chooses the person who is currently hot, not who she thinks can truly do the job well. Benioff and Weiss are no longer hot items because of the GoT season 8 backlash, therefore they are now gone. It’s that simple. The same thing happened to Josh Trank, and Lord and Miller, and Colin Trevorrow. If Rian Johnson had made a movie that bombed after Looper, I guarantee you the same thing would have happened to him.
John never mentioned the panel d&d did in Austin last Friday..... where they said things like, GOT was more expensive than film school, and such. They showed their true colors there.
Great producers do not necessarily make great heads of studio. I think she worked well with Spielberg because they were on the same wavelength, Spielberg picked the stories and Kennedy just helped achieve what he wanted. That doesn't mean she's great at judging the character of directors and picking compatible creative collaborators
Kennedy's job is to put the right talent together. So Episode 7's succes doesn't count since it was the first property. With the sequel she immediately showed she is unable to bring together the talent. And with 2 out of the 3 standalone films she also made the wrong call! Clearly she isn't able to do her job.
They got kicked off Star Wars because they tanked the last season of Game of Thrones (and the ending.) Remember, Disney got rid of Josh Trank after he screwed up Fantastic. And those guys who were trying to make Solo a comedy. It's all about work ethic.
Oh no
But JOHN, we’re all missing the point behind all this... they forgot.
Sometimes people lie in interviews for a coveted job because they really want it. No one would ever get fired if employers had the foresight to know they’re not actually qualified. It happens
And I can only imagine how intimidating directing a Star Wars movie would be and I can see that at least being a factor in these director losses
Good because the only thing that made them popular was copying the entire GOT series from books...and when the storyline was over in the books they had no idea where to go with the GOT series.
Benioff and Weiss took one look at what happened to Rian Johnson, and the freaking death threats that they keep getting, and said..."y'know, I think we're better off working on our own stuff, because I don't need this bull anymore. "
Thank god
This news about Benioff and Weiss is disappointing but not surprising. I completely disagree that the backlash for the final season of GOT has nothing to with B&W decision to quit Star Wars trilogy, sure they're critical acclaimed and award wining writers but they also human beings. And I can see them not wanting to risk endearing anymore abuse from fans with too much time on their hands.
Joss Whedon was born to direct A Star wars film.
It’s not just the last season John. The story went off the rails when they ran out of source material. And hearing them talk about it, heaven help them if they try to do anything original.
ARN I disagree. Is that BS?
Look at IMDB and the writing credits and then say again they are great.....GRRM is a great writer.
D&D are terrifically respected and accomplished, but it's television and it's a single series. I think there must have been some reticence on Kennedy's part from the beginning that they weren't "filmmakers." You can hope for someone like JJ Abrams to come out of television, and certainly Benioff And Weiss are good bets in that regard, but when you came up in the industry with directors and writers who made their names through movies and not television, there is still going to be uncertainty in the relationship. It might be smart - when it comes to the deciding moment - to question whether it's a good idea to hand over a massive billion dollar commitment to a pair who hasn't directed a movie and have been on one show AND who have plenty of duds when it comes to the movies they (well, one of them) have actually written. Even the Wachowskis had to make BOUND before anyone would consider letting them make The Matrix.
In trying to make sense of what is happening with this pattern one thought comes to mind, maybe it's because it's Star Wars that she is perhaps being more cautious and removing people that otherwise would have finished the film, had it been any other franchise. Either that or she has really been cursed with this tenure at Lucasfilm. I can't believe she would have come this far without being competent at interviewing directors, producers, and writers. She has shown good judgement on other decisions recently. Favreau actually says it was her idea to have him work with Filoni on `The Mandalorean'. Outside of the films the rest of the franchise has been doing awesome. I have no idea what, if anything, she has had to do with any of that but it's just perplexing that she have these issues happening only with the Star Wars films. Also the replacements or additions she brought in were solid choices, IMHO, so at least she didn't screw that up. In the case of B&W it sounds like they just tried to get themselves fired so they could be available to Netflix. It's really their only way out of the contract with Lucasfilm.
I don’t know much about contracts but isn’t there a way to pay yourself out of one like this or am I wrong?
About the final season of GoT. Almost everyone knew she was going to go crazy, not only has it been hinted at, but it has been shown. However, her burning the innocent people was executed poorly. It just happened ... at least if there was an episode of her trying to rule but the people went against her or something like that, but seems like the creators were in a rush to do other things they just ended it. It was lazy writing.
The most iconic and influential television series in history was actually Lizzie Mcguire
ARN in real life baby
ARN Hilary duff single handedly made Disney+ with her iconic comeback
ARN it’s a joke. Lizzie McGuire globally is many people’s childhood that made the Disney channel what it became. Hilary duff was the original Disney star turned real singer actress. Disney+ is rebooting the show.
I’m joking when I say it was the greatest show of all time. I mean to me it was, but I’m being sarcastic BUT Hilary Duff I am SURE is a big reason why a lot of people around my age (28) are signing up for Disney+. I had no interest in it even with all the Star Wars and marvel shet but the minute Hilary announced the shows comeback on Instagram, I was sold no questions asked. She is a global icon and her influence can not be ignored.
ARN ew don’t talk to me
Thank YOU !!! thank you for saying that about Game of Thrones...I enjoyed season 8 also....We all knew who Daenerys was the whole time. I liked her anyway .....
Undeniably one of the all time greats in the film producing industry. But does anyone know if she was accustomed to picking directors on her way of becoming one of the all time greats or they picked her? Maybe she is just not good at that part of the job?
11:19 John sucking himself up
There could have been a buyout clause in the Lucasfilm contract they had that Netflix agreed to pay when they signed them to their deal. Not saying that you aren’t right, but that there could definitely be a contractual reason that explains how they’d be able to choose the 100 million dollar Netflix deal over Disney/Lucasfilm. If Netflix was willing to pay that much, they may have also been willing to pay a buyout.
Or like with Hugo weaving and Marvel. He was under contract for endgame, but he was not interested to come back. They could have forced him back, under contract. But what good would that have done, force a unwilling actor to act. The result would not be the best. This is also probably the case with B&W, why force them to a contract they clearly doesnt want to do. Imagen how uncreative you would be, if you where forced to be creative. For a project you dont even want to be a part off.
Award for Best 'Writting'? Ironic... 🤔
1 point goes to The Fandom Menace
Another thing is that this also plays down on the Star Wars movie sort of brand. Like maybe people won't want to make a star wars movie, considering individuals like Weiss and Benioff left (reasons we don't know). Maybe I'm looking at it wrong. As far as I'm concerned it is a disappointment.
Ok dude don’t be surprised if Netflix bought them out of their contract. If they were shelling out $100 million, seems likely they would buy them out of Disney’s contract. You heard it here first: Rian Johnson takes over the trilogy.
I expected Dani to turn evil but the way it was done is what many was complaining about the writing was atrocious in the last two seasons.
HBO was willing to give them money to have the extra seasons but they turned it down and rushed the ending that's why many hate the last two seasons, seven years of character development down the toilet.
Also you are praising Benioff and Weiss for their writing when what they did was ADAPTING ALREADY WRITTEN MATERIAL TO THE SCREEN.
Maybe Star Wars should take an indefinite break from the movie screen and focus on t.v. for now. There's gonna be so much pressure on the 2022 film especially if TROS disappoints.
So, should Feigi take over?
Michael Scott, great salesman and terrible boss.
Star Wars need to go away for a while. This does not look good at all.
You forgot to mention Rian Johnson's canceled trilogy
Damn Kathleen is fucking up lol
Got Rid Of
Imagine my shock.
Lol those hacks??
Star Wars loses D&D like my dad lost his cancer.
