    I loved the name unobtanium and I think it's the height of bad-nerddom to think it's a bad or lazy name instead of basically a joke

    Avatar was a shit movie but yes unobtanium was a cute fanservicey nod

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.

    I mean, sure, yeah, but I am not watching this sci fi action film for pacifism? I want to see a motherfucker get cut into six pieces? So give it to me.

    I can see it now

    EM stand ups clapping in the theater when Obi Wan cut Darth Maul in two
    FUCK. FUCK. IT'S ON an excited EM shouts in a theater full of people as Yoda does his first Force Flip

    A younger EM jumps out of his seat cheering as Mace Windu decaptitates Jango Fett, a resounding "FUCK YEAH" causing everyone nearby to flinch in mortification and outrage

    like it'd be one thing if it was space balls but an ostensibly serious movie using a corny dad joke as the name for its macguffin is pretty bad

    AN ACTUAL HOT TAKE:
    Avatar The Last Airbender is a generally mediocre anime with an excellent anime (that being the story of Zuko) bolted onto the side.

    world building!!

    according to DK this is an actual industry term
    n fiction, engineering, and thought experiments, unobtainium is any fictional, extremely rare, costly, or impossible material, or (less commonly) device needed to fulfill a given design for a given application.

    Meanwhile I’d prefer it if the films were more anti-war....

    Why would you watch star wars at all

    star wars is hell

    star wars.

    star wars never changes.

    the supreme art of star wars is to subdue the enemy without fighting

    I know not with what weapons Star Wars III will be fought, but Star Wars IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

    Sweet Jesus, Star Wars does terrible things to people.

    God created Star Wars so Americans would learn Astronomy.

    baby, I'm going to make you a star wars

    Star Wars, children

    it's just a shot away

    anyway Star Wars is dumb but it is a good toolbox of elements and themes for people to work within as a broader assemblage

    I saw The Last Jedi today.

    I enjoyed it greatly.

    I also cried.

    It was good.

    I'd say it was a lighthearted adventure movie that was way too long and not really good

    there were jokes. don't see why that couldn't be one of them. you can imagine characters in that world coming up with the name as a dismissive but descriptive term for something hard to get and worth a lot
