@failinganon @reddit_TLCM He also didn’t make the statement they are “assigning” to him. He also used the term irreversible, I feel it would not be too hard to reverse the hair line.
@secretfakename@MyGineration@matthewdmarsden Journeys of discovery are common in children’s films, a hero’s journey without suffering or learning anything is not likely to be interesting. A story which you cannot understand the character’s motivations and unique outlook also makes stories appear unreal and lacking in depth.
@secretfakename@MyGineration@matthewdmarsden Luke trains using the lightsaber against a target droid with instruction from a Jedi master. Even so he loses his fight and his hand.
Rey never used a lightsaber but draws her first ever fight with someone who has been training under a sith lord.
@Shavik19 @audraf637 @DieselPickUp244 @AstralLobo@GeorgeTakei No economic power / military power no sustainable abolition as your previous example stated.
@Shavik19 @audraf637 @DieselPickUp244 @AstralLobo@GeorgeTakei It is not a prerequisite, it is not sufficient on its own and therefore it is definitively not the only reason.
@Shavik19 @audraf637 @DieselPickUp244 @AstralLobo@GeorgeTakei Note that you are still agreeing with me, Christianity has not been the only cause for abolition and the examples you are bringing up show it is not sufficient. Haiti abolished slavery on threat of violence the non Christian world did it on threat of economic damage.
@MyGineration@matthewdmarsden If my assumptions are correct then an example of a woke movie would be Star Wars ep 7. You could contrast this with a movie such as Aliens where the lead character is flawed and their knowledge and actions are explained by their journey.
@MyGineration@matthewdmarsden I have commonly taken it to mean a film where the lead character has no flaws, there is no real struggle for them to overcome and they learn nothing from their journey. The only conflict experienced is that of unfair oppression and marginalisation.
