The controversy over Sabra, a new movie character, explained.

hahaha not going to bother with this movie anyway, but the idea of anyone caring enough to be mad about a phase 5 (or is it 6 idk) movie is funny

    Lol well I guess Endgame or showdown or whatever doesnt mean anything now that the world is back to normal and the emotional climax is reversed

      Also, probably partially because of Covid, but they really fucked up the pacing of everything I feel. I think I've slop watched most of the current phase but am not all that invested in any cliffhangers or story progress.

        I think it's just a natural consequence of story structure. They literally had a movie named "endgame" where they blew their story wad and it's just limping along now

            eventually Filoni is gonna do a movie

            Isn't he doing the Mandalorian movie? I have no idea how it wouldn't be a direct to streaming thing, though. It's supposed to wrap up all those Filloni-verse shows, and that's a lot of TV homework for a Star Wars movie.

          They tried to introduce a new Big Bad to shape their story arcs around, but then irl stuff happened.

          The new Deadpool gave them an excuse to just recast whoever as whoever though. Disney has those actors for life now.

      the emotional climax is reversed

      Maybe its because I'm a longtime comics fan but I dont get how this is true at all. Its not like theyre even explicitly bringing back Tony Stark. Its just the actor playing a different character (who MAY end up being an alternate universe version of Tony Stark MAYBE, but if they do that thats still not the same character. In thej same way that Reed Richards and The Maker (this is a comics thing) arent the same character).
