Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 No love for Jeans guy I see. RE: non Stormtrooper death I thought the Imperial in the final episode giving a short monologue justifying genocide and getting shot in the face for it was pretty memorable.

Vaughn Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Most inexplicable technological feat: So Boba Fett has been living in the dusty wastes of Tatooine, finds Fennec, who's had her abdomen blown up and just like... fixes that horrible, fatal injury with cybernetics?

Vaughn Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Gina Carano is out after too much social media asshattery. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2021/feb/11/gina-carano-fired-from-the-mandalorian-after-abhorrent-social-media-posts Totally fungible part - won't miss her.

Yeah the reason she should have been let go is really that she simply cannot act, at all. Has no idea what to do with her face or body during moments where violence is not occurring. That’s not really confined to the Mandalorian Whether someone should be fired for having bad opinions on political stuff is a whole other matter, but i won’t miss her, even if she sort of looked the part in the show.

Vaughn Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 She's definitely from the Stallone school of acting where the underlying muscles can't seem to move the face like you'd expect. The Expanse is wrapped right? They should just hire Frankie Adams if they want a non-wispy woman to play an action part on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think actually her shape and size suited the role quite well, you would never doubt her being a bad ass, even if she struggles to walk and talk.

Having bad opinions is one thing. "Abhorrent and unacceptable" social media posts is quite different - conflating the two is incorrect. Antisemitism, anti-mask, Qanon, etc. etc. Publicly behaving like an asshole is bad for a public job. The 'beliefs' are fairly irrelevant other than for the pearl clutching, cancel culture warriors. https://io9.gizmodo.com/gina-carano-is-no-longer-a-part-of-star-wars-1846244896 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, if we're being honest here, a lot of people compared Trump to Nazis which also proved ot be pretty fucking dumb. As someone said above she should have been fired after season 1 for not being able to act her way out of a D&D campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - there should be more diversity in the physicality of women in action shows/movies. Enough with the 5'5" 110lb. 'killing machine' trope in scifi already.

Heartofice Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Think she must have deleted the offending tweets, I saw the tweets about comparing nazis treatment of the Jews to people with different opinions in the US, but honestly everyone on the internet compares everything to nazi Germany so that’s not so shocking. I heard there is some anti vaccine stuff and election stuff, but hard to find what was actually said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
