@o_sneedy The AI at least gets some credit for the recessed balconies, which are 100% unintentional. Aside from that, those are still just giant boxes.
Also, the building in the front in the original picture looks better than that unholy greek temple/colonial mansion crossbreed.
@trepidofficial@mightydudbolt "Why isn't the Trade Federation ship not fully prepared and equipped for capturing and killing Jedi? This is bad writing!"
@mightydudbolt No, Palpatine was NOT behind the assassination, and the idea that you were supposed to go into the film "knowing" that he was is beyond bullshit.
@mightydudbolt Every single criticism that idiot has of AotC is rooted in the presumption that literally everything that happens in the movie has been precisely planned out by Palpatine, down to the smallest detail. The most mind-boggling part is that I've yet to see anyone reject his premise.
@Aaron_Sparrow It's perfectly normal and not at all revolutionary to have Skeletor be evil for evil's sake. They would never do that with Evil-Lyn though.
@Aaron_Sparrow Predictably, films that try to sell themselves on "subverting the sympathetic villain trope" will inevitably have a male antagonist, and he will invariably be some kind of caricature of someone the writer wants to humiliate in some way.
@Fenrirtheicewo1 I mean, fitness models aren't building bulk and they're dehydrated during picture sessions. Replace fitness models with powerlifters and the meme falls apart.
@gaisericss "Why is Palpatine trying to assassinate Padme?"
"Why is Palpatine putting Anakin into an arena to be killed by dangerous animals?"
"Why is Palpatine trying to kill Anakin and Padme with a factory conveyor belt?"
It takes effort to be this stupid.
@DaddyWarpig "Doctor's log. Experiment Nr 93 to trigger a Pharaoh's Curse for the purposes of scientific observation failed to produce any quantifiable results. Drastic measures may be required."
(Ps: I know it's a frozen mummy and not an Egyptian one. It's funnier this way.)
@MichaelShanks Our opinion hardly carries any weight in this matter. Amazon made it clear they're aiming for the fabled "wider audience". It doesn't matter how hard fans of the original will be lobbying, to amazon it's just background noise.
