Rogue One [...] recorded the second-highest first day of pre-sales in domestic box office history.

 

[Bromden]

Why is the protagonist some bimbo and not Wedge?

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Fairly certain Wedge didn't have a part in this until the actual battle.
Unless you meant the completely unrelated Raymus Antilles, who is probably too high profile a person for most of the dirty work in the flick.

 

[Bluehawk]

Kyle Katarn stole the death star plans.

 

[Bromden]

Fairly certain Wedge didn't have a part in this until the actual battle.

Amidst all the revisionism, they could have made it all about Wedge. Although my problem is that we have yet another badass cutie protagonist.

 

[Cyborg Eastern European]

Thing is, Wedge is a tight bit old nowadays. Less risk to all them millions this way.

 

[Bromden]

Yeah, and Pilot Guy from ep.7 is already a Wedge clone anyways. But young chicks as action heroes don't work so well for me.

 

[Cpt. Nemo]

Bromden's sexism confirmed.

Jan Ors is in Rogue one.

Bromden's sexism confirmed.

I wasn't aware that it needs confirmation.

But young chicks as action heroes don't work so well for me.

It's not the young chick that is the problem, it is the insufferable young rebellious teenage girl smartass trope that is the problem.

There are plenty of girl badasses in movie history that were done right.

For instance, Hanna(2011);

[Bromden]

It seems to be the same ****; a frail chick balleting around some thugs who have the fighting activity level of a training dummy.

 

[Adorno]

The fighting scenes is actually the worst part about Hanna. An otherwise good film.

 

[Mamlaz]

I spit on your opinions.

The fight scenes are good and she is genetically modified, thus beating the thugs so easily.

 

[Bromden]

Boy, if you'll ever get in a fight with non-quadriplegic people, your ass will be kicked.

 

[Mamlaz]

Considering I grew up in a low income neighborhood in the Balkans, your statement has little weight.

 

[Bromden]

Considering that you are always full of ****, your statement holds little weight.

 

[Mamlaz]

When were my words ever covered in ****?

 

[Almalexia]

Oh look, the Eastern Europeans are fighting again. Is it that time again already?

 

[Krik]

When were my words ever covered in ****?

When they started coming out of your ass instead of your mouth.
