 I don't know who is getting off on that, but you know that that's the worst part. The fetish is coughing like. You know the blim, baby, the blim. I love it when they cough. Cough more into the microphone. Do it because I'm coughing in between every other sentence. I want to hear all the flim in your throat. It's like nose come. Cough. Cough. Sir, please, we're upsetting the guests. Cough. Cough. All right. I'm fixing chat. Don't worry. Chat. Chat is being fixed chat. Gosh, chat. So aggressive. Yeah, man. Fixed chat. I'm doing it. All right. There you go. You are now a character on the stream. And the thumbnail is fixed. It's all good to go. Oh, I'm so good at this. It used to take me like five minutes. Now I get it done in like 30 seconds. So I posted a picture of this tweet. I think it's pretty nifty. I don't know what to fully think about it, though. We got someone saying low key. I want Ryan to just die already. So people will finally give him the risk. Oh, what? I don't know if this person loves him or hates him. I want him to die so you'll get respect. Oh, my God. What a strange thing to say. Make daddy Ryan a martyr. Oh, my God. That's probably the most bizarre way of supporting a creator I've ever seen. I hope he dies. But for a good cause. Well, you know, martyrs live forever. This little video is funny. What are we looking at here? Emergency lockdown initiated. What the fuck, Ethan? That's fucking Baba Vesuba, right? Something like that. Yeah, it is. It's like one of the only decent scenes of that film. This new made that probably thought that Phasma was a character. That's their mistake. Oh, well, they learn their lesson. It's crazy because a lot of people speculate that she would come back for Rise of Skywalker. It's like Rise of Skywalker doesn't even know she exists. Like that film just completely forgotten about it. I completely forgot that she died. Most people do because she died twice. It's confusing as fuck. It's like, oh wait, this character again? This is like an everyday thing for you. There's something you could say about the sequel trilogy. Death's a concept that's very flimsy in the Star Wars universe as of the sequel trilogy. Do you remember when the Force Awakens came out and they really pushed Phasma? Like there were all kinds of toys and stuff, but all of this is going to be this epic character. It's going to be in everything. There's an interview where she says Captain Phasma is a Boba Fett style character. It's like, what does that mean? She has a hallmark. I think she meant that you barely find anything about them. You just see them and they're cool. You're like, oh. I felt really bad for kids who got Captain Phasma figures. What if people named their kid Phasma? How do you think about the thousands and thousands of children that are named Khaleesi or Daenerys? Just don't ask where that comes from. Where the kid's like, what did you name you after? You're like, oh, nothing. Just Hitler. Well, we had someone on who did tell us that the world was still a better place with Daenerys rather than without it. So what do you have to say to that? That was a painful stream to listen to. Yeah, well, I mean, you know, everyone's entitled to their valid and equally accurate opinions. That's how it works. Even when they're wrong. Even when they're hideously wrong. Pull King's Landing. How long is it going to take to recover from that? Just move to a different city at that point. They're in medieval times, too. That's going to take ages. The next city. Well, you say we can move. It's like, who's going to move? Everyone's dead anyway. It's going to be like a few corpses crawling away. It's a buyer's market for real estate, man. You have to worry. Yeah, plenty of free real estate. Well, always looking on the right side, I see. I feel like nobody is not going to have a job because so many people died that, you know, workers are in high demand at that point. I would just go. There's no one to pay the people who are still alive. Oh, that would be a thing plundering that place. There'd be all kinds of goodies. Go inside. There's no defences on the main castle. There's got to be like a room of gold or something. Get in there, folks. For those of you who are left, obviously. Yeah. So yeah, that leaves us with EFAP number 69. It was actually planned to our Game of Thrones episode. Yeah, I was going to say Game of Thrones making it back into the discussion. I've seen people speculate is like, you got to do a Game of Thrones episode. At this point, we'd have to find some kind of like Tizmy video to cover it because Game of Thrones is pretty much dead forever now, right? Until George Martin releases the next book. But I am very much of the opinion that George intentionally set D&D up to a degree to get people to come back and read his books again. I feel like he did it because I know he's kind of a sniveling weasel. And I just feel like, I don't know if it's going to work though for you, George, because you made everybody hate the IP. Was it really his fault? I don't know how much it was. According to that one guy. Oh, yeah. Was that Yasin as well? I can't remember who... I can't remember if it was him. Yeah, some people think that it was all like a setup. But I mean, as far as I know, he told them about the ending and they just did whatever. But I mean, I think that, you know, in retrospect, a lot of it again was because they thought they were going to get the Star Wars IP and they were just like, fuck this. However, we know how that turned out. Yeah, they've dropped that now too. Probably for the best. I don't see that happening well. They're getting murdered. But hey, Star Wars isn't in a pretty good position too, right? This is all going great. So yeah, this is EFAP69. We had no idea what to do other than just, you know, we made it our most diverse episode ever. Four females and a male. How's that? What do you think? Oh, no. I'm the bad. And yeah, so, you know, no one can say EFAP was male dominated in some kind of disgusting misrepresentation. And, you know, we're even going to be covering a female creator today. So as in the infinite words of Major Lee, you do get to look at women in this stream and that alone is another positive, right? That's the thing he said. You might get blocked now, finally, Mahler. I might get what? The world from Ginny. You might finally get blocked. Oh, yeah, that's true, actually. Well, they can't complain this time, though, because we have females on the roster, right? Like, they're not allowed to complain? No, I think we can still, I think that the thing is that if women do say anything, then we're self-hating, right? Well, it was worth a shot, I guess. Oh, well. Yeah, there's not much in terms of catching up or announcement stuff. Doom went back down only to come back up as the EFAP movies, because it's just as Zephyr as an asshole. That's a battle that'll go on infinitely. Speaking of infinitely, part one of Infinite Crisis came out. Two is on the way, as is three, and four, and five. In fact, Rags, you and I are watching four and five tomorrow, yes? Yeah, we are. We're going to watch four and five tomorrow. We're going to keep up with the riveting story of all of these characters, and there's their story, and the things, and whatever the fuck is going on in this universe. And then, I think it's like a week from now or whatever, Batwoman kicks back up. You excited? Yeah. Wait, it gets a second season? It's not well. We've got 16 more episodes of season one, and it's got a season two. Oh, Jesus. Just infinite entertainment, folks. All kinds of everything. Crisis on Infinite Batwoman. How do you go back? You go back from saving infinite Earths, like the concept of reality itself, you have rescued, and you go back to catching criminals in an alley. It's Batwoman. I'll be real with you on something. I'm a huge fan of Batwoman, the comic book character, not whatever this shit is. I haven't seen it. You haven't seen it? No, because I like Batwoman. Why would I put myself through that torture? Why do you hate Ruby Rose? Why? Because she hates lesbians. I very much like lesbians being half of one myself, but there's a story that happens in the middle of the J.H. Williams. I run on Batwoman where there's a tie-in with Wonder Woman, where it goes full lovecraft and giant tentacle monsters invade Gotham, and it just manages to come back from it. It's great. It's fantastic. It's wonderful. Guess what? Because Dan Didio said that no DC characters were allowed to be married, and he canceled Batwoman's marriage to her partner. That was back in 2014, just 2013. So, oh, how things have changed. Wow. Well, do you know what? Some of the biggest payoffs of the first set of episodes of season one were, there was a guy in a restaurant who said that he doesn't want to serve gay people. And so she built a gay bar next to his establishment. Oh, fucking, you're kidding me. No. There were people in sitting, there were housewives sitting at home who were so woke going, you go girl. Yeah, you go. That's Batwoman. What an amazing show. She just showed him. They are so invested in the shallowest show. Please, guys, read the J. I would say to the audience, please read the J.H. Williams run on Batwoman. It has amazing art. It has good stories, and it doesn't, like, shove this horrible crap down your throat. It's actually well written. Goddamn, why they have to do my girl wrong like this? There was a tweet talking about how, like, men don't like the Batwoman TV show because men want, like, villains in their heroes and, like, referencing stuff like Iron Man, I guess. And it's just funny because Batwoman, out of all the shows and movies and stories I've watched about superheroes, even anti-heroes, like, she's one of the worst. She lets a lot of people die for no fucking reason. Yeah, she's terrible. She's horrible. I think one of the best examples of sort of highlighting this attitude from here is that there's all these people who have just fallen from, like, a runaway elevator just crashing into the ground. They're all scattered out in this, like, lobby. There's blood. They're, like, screaming. And then Batwoman, as Kate Kane, walks past them all to go home and put on a bat suit and then come back. It's like, maybe you could help. No, no. She didn't just put on the bat suit. That's when she upgraded it with the hair. Oh, and she gave it a spray. Yeah. Yeah. She didn't just put on, she didn't just go home to put on her suit. She gave it a makeover. It's so terrible. Right. Daredevil Yellow does this. In Daredevil Yellow, it's shown that, like, there's a scene where Daredevil's trying to, he and the owl fall into the bay outside of New York. And he can't, I think it's in Daredevil Yellow, and he can't save him and he, like, thinks he dies. And there's ways to do that, really, when you talk about street level characters who don't have infinite power. But going home to go put on your makeup. Bra, what are you doing? Well, yeah, it's like, wow, that's what you got for a female lead TV show. You're like, she has to, she has to do that before helping people. Women empowerment. She has to go put on her face. Oh, it's so awful. They probably got out. I feel so empowered right now. But yeah, so that's awful. Everything's awful. We were just talking about how everything's awful. What was it, Doctor Who? Jay was letting me know that that's going real well. What was it, 7% that the Rotten Tomatoes has dropped to? Audience score? Six. Six now? Oh my God. Well, let me take a look, see. Rotten Tomatoes, Doctor Who? So we're gonna, oh no, this is not the right season. They're trying, they're like, they're showing me the not current season. Oh, it's up to eight. However, it's up to 8% after significantly more user ratings. But the critics love it. What a shock. Good. It is. I'll show you, show you a picture here of our Rotten Tomatoes thingamabobber. Yep. Yeah, that sounds about right. 80% by the critics and 8% by the audience seems legit. I think that's the biggest difference I've ever seen. That might be, that is pretty far. It might be, yeah. Cause even Batwoman was like in the teens. This isn't even double digits. Let's fuck that. The question is how much money do they have to lose? Cause they are still making money on this shit. And I mean with, okay, with BBC shows in particular, there's an issue because everyone has to pay for a TV license, right? So people kind of get charged this money no matter what, if they want to watch TV to fund this garbage. But like, how much money do these companies have to lose before they realize this probably isn't a good idea? Oh, and have you guys talked about the new Captain Marvel writer? Cause I have a lot to say about Kelly Sue DeConnick. Oh, we can, we can jump to that. I just want to say space for all. What a strange tagline. Space for all. That is a, oh, I didn't even notice that. Fuck off. Oh my God. Space for all. 8%. Also, Jay wants me to read out the thing that I was telling you about guys about earlier. So this is apparently from the newest episode, I guess. The doctor deliberately tricked the now brown master into getting captured by the Nazis. So he'd face their race hate. He wasn't even doing anything evil at the time. It wasn't a solution to anything. He didn't stop his plat or anything. It was just something she decided to do. It got that coon. This is very in line with the doctors. That's very doctor-like. That's something the doctor typically does. Throw people to the Nazis. Yeah. Well, yeah. So Captain Marvel 2 is apparently being written by Kelly Sue DeConnick. What's your take on this person? Cause I don't know anything about them. I don't think. So I do. I've read everything she's ever written for Marvel Land DC and for Image. So Kelly Sue DeConnick is somebody that I actually thought had some talent. She wrote some pretty good issues on Aquaman. They weren't fantastic. It's not Peter David, but it's decent. She wrote four issues on Ghost, which is a very good series in general, but they weren't fantastic for her issues. She wrote a mediocre indie series called Pretty Deadly. And astonishingly, I saw an article that was written about her, regarding her being the writer for Captain Marvel that described her as, I quote, an uber feminist. All right. That's a good sign. And she, yeah, she wrote a series called Bitch Planet, which is literally oranges in the black space. Bitch Planet. It is about a plant, a prison planet for women. It's actually readable. It's not complete. I mean, it's not good, but it's readable. And however, despite the, the niceties are just late at Kelly Sue DeConnick and said that I thought she had talent. If you want to know where the trope of Carol Manvers comes from, she is the origin. She 100% invented the idea of Captain Marvel as being a man-hating, horrible, just insufferable person. And that is 100% Kelly Sue DeConnick. So of course, of course, Marvel would pick, Disney would pick her to write Captain Marvel 2. Yeah. That's who we got. Is the woman who wrote Bitch? Well, I think we can expect that Captain Marvel 2 will be fantastic. Oh, something that's just reminded me of it, like just when you know that the writer's going to be injecting some stuff into the story. I'm assuming you guys have heard of, everyone's very upset with Patrick Stewart's comments recently about The Cod Show. He said, he said something like it's going to, it's going to tackle like the evils of Trump and Brexit or something, right? Yeah, I'm curious. I mean, like, as you guys know, I'm a big Trekkie more than I am a Star Wars fan. Trekk always, you know, discusses political stuff. No. Well, actually, they're related languages close enough. Twilight is what she speaks. Yeah, Twilight. You know, Trekk's always discussed political issues, but guys, really, it's never been this overt. And I'm saying it's never been this overt. And I'm comparing that to the original series episode where they couldn't discuss race issues. So they had one guy's hat, his right side of his face painted white and the left side of his face painted black and then vice versa and had them hate each other. And it's never been this overt. Thanks, guys. Appreciate it. Well, see, they did it with, you know, other races, excuse me, like alien races so that because they live in this idealized universe. And so when they do it and they deal with those kind of issues, it's always with aliens because they've already been able to overcome it. I saw part of the article where he was saying that he didn't like that it was too safe. And I was like, that's the point, though, is that we already were able to overcome that as a species. That was one of the greatest things about Star Trek. It is. I was, I just rewatched DS9 in its entirety and I was sitting there like maybe, I was really, really sick, like maybe five days ago crying at an episode of DS9 where it deals with race relations in the 1950s. But there's also an episode in the last season, in the seventh season of DS9 where it's where Quark literally is Trump. He wants to make Feringon our great again. And that was made in 1998, I believe, 1999. So, you know, Trek's always done this stuff. But could you be a little bit more, like, not on the nose about it, guys? I guess we'll have to see. Time to visit Rosa Parks. They did that at Doctor Who, did they? Yeah. There's a Rosa Parks episode, yes. Um, yeah. It's like, I'm not investing in Star Trek, but as soon as that card show comes out, I'm going to be interested to see what everyone's reactions are, just see what they're doing. Have you watched all of Star Trek, though? Sorry? Have you watched all of Star Trek? I haven't seen anything beyond, like, a handful of episodes here and there, I think. Yeah. Again, my exact... My opinion's exactly... Oh, I'm not allowed to not have seen a thing. How dare you? No, no, no. My opinion is about this. I think of what they're trying to do. Oh. Well, think of all the new fans they'll generate with the Picard show. That'd be great. Right, because that worked so well with everything else. They've tried to do this with... Well, Star Wars' fanbase is reinvigorated. Doctor Who's, clearly. Game of Thrones. Well, Game of Thrones doesn't have exactly... I don't think anybody would say Game of Thrones ran an agenda. Did it? It was just terrible. Like, there was no, like, I was clearly trying to push this... Because they destroyed what a lot of people... Like, the whole Slay Queen thing with Daenerys. That's out the window of when she killed children. It was like, oh... Can't really support that. Why still roof for Anakin? What have people got to do? What are you going to do if you're... You're a little kid... You're a young girl and you grow up with the name Daenerys or Khaleesi, because Khaleesi was apparently the more common one. Now your name is essentially either Führer... Adolf. Or Hitler. Or Adolf. Mom, why did you call me that? That mustache. Well, I mean, some little girls can use that to their advantage. They'd be like, oh, you want to piss me off? I'll stick my dragons on you. Just like King's Landing. I mean, dragons aren't real, though. That's the problem. Because everyone that's named Khaleesi is, I'm assuming, still a child. I can imagine dragons. Yeah, I think that trend started about maybe like seven years ago when the show started to gain. But I think there's like... The last time I checked on it, which has been a while, it's like there's like 5,000, 6,000 kids in the U.S. named Khaleesi. Someone sent me something just a moment ago. There is about 1,600, 1,700 people with the first name Phasma. Really? Why? Okay. Oh, it's Phasma Jones. It's a strange-faced name, but all right. I'm not going to judge. Phasma McDonald. Phasma McDonald. Phasma Phillips. I like how if they go to change their name legally, they go to ask why. Do they check it? They're like, oh, well. It sounds like never mind. No reason needed. Like a duck dodger's name is like, I'm Phasma Jackson. Oh my God. I mean, it sounds like a good pseudonym. Like you're a famous writer or some kind of something. I almost said Jeff Gordon. I was a Flash Gordon. It's a Flash Gordon, right? You have... Now I'm thinking about the Papa John's guy and I have no idea why. Flash. Think about eating 40 pizzas in a month. Brains, man. How do they work? How many pizzas do I eat in a month? The Papa John said he ate 40 pizzas in a month. You don't know how big the pizza's with. You don't know how big. That sounds glorious. Yeah, I was going to say this. Yeah, but Papa John's is... Let's be real. Papa John's is pretty low on my tier of pizza I'm going to order. Yeah, I don't really eat much. Like I don't do delivery stuff, so I don't really know to rank them. Our family would get Little Caesars a bunch. Little Caesars is the shit. $5 for a big pizza. You go in there like, yo, I'd like a $5 hot and ready. Hot and ready. Do you want cheese? Do you want supreme? Or do you want pepperoni? What happened to Big Caesar? Big Caesar? I refuse to call it anything, but Parvus Caesaris. Is that alien language again? No, it's just Latin for Little Caesars. It's W. It's no V in Latin. The V sound. Oh, the true to Caesar. Oh, wait. Oh, shit. I fucked it up. Damn. Fucking bringing out the... the ancient lead speak only to get corrected. Bigger. So yeah, I suppose if there's nothing else, we can talk about a few things people are going to be expecting. Everyone wants us to cover the Ralph video. The Ralph video. I don't even need to be more specific than that. But Rags and I are making it through all of the films that Joker ripped off. Just checking them out. Getting a refresh. One down. Two down. One down. Two down. Yeah, we got one to go. Two down. Two down. And we checked out Parasite. Yeah. And I think I'm going to try and get to watch all of the films that are apparently deserving of Oscars well before Joker is. Just out of curiosity. But like someone on Twitter said... Sorry? Someone said Phasma Hut in the chat and I'm like, yeah, it's order. It's order something from Phasma Hut. There's people on Twitter that would be like Joker as a screenplay is much worse than and then named a bunch of movies and included in the list was Parasite and Endgame. I don't know why someone would think Endgame's screenplay is stronger than Joker's. No. Oh my goodness. Mahler, somebody sent me a message about how someone said the total number of clones in the Star Wars clone army. You know how many there were apparently this guy saying he looked it up and to see how many clones there were. He says there was 1.7 billion clones were in the Grand Army of the Republic. Neat. That's a lot of clones. Probably not as many as all of the troopers in Palpatine's series of thousands of ships. How many people were manning the ships in Palpatine's giant... I don't know if that gets into the billions. Even the supremacy only held 2.5 million people. Don't ask me where they came from. How many people did it take to man a superstar destroyer? Let us go to Wikipedia. That 1.7 billion is that over the course of the entire time clones existed? I I said it was in the eFAT podcast chat but I don't know that seems like a lot though. Watch those wrist rockets. I mean considering that I only have Star Trek knowledge but a galaxy class starship probably has a crew complement of 1200 at an absolute minimum. That's not something that can blow up a planet. They kind of can but not necessarily. So how much does Star Destroyers have? It's got to be like a thousand people I would imagine to man a ship that galaxy class which is the Enterprise D. Quite a bunch. If you want to keep it fully operational you know multiple ships and all that, yeah I can believe it. Let me look. I'm just assuming that's not like a current... that was the number of active clones. Those probably clones across the entire clone war I'm guessing. It says the Enterprise is capable of carrying over 6,000 but the usual complement of 1,014 crew and civilians. Okay so I guess the actual civilians. See that's where I got that number from in my head. So probably in terms of a skeleton crew you could probably man a galaxy class vessel with maybe like 500 people. So let's go with like a minimum estimate. The Voyager which is a sovereign class vessel has 147 crew complement which is much smaller than a galaxy class vessel. So if we go with the absolute minimum and this is me using Star Trek to Star Wars you would need probably like 200 people on every single one of those Superstar Destroyers where did all those clones come from and we see them blot out the entire screen so how would you get all those from, but whatever. And then the supremacy holds 2.5 million people. You wonder like what are they doing. Yeah, when you have 2.5 million surely there's an actual like society about it. Like an actual economy a whole existence there like there's probably factions even like they're splitted to like the left side of the fucking ship they sew up their own ass. Their stories about people who live and die on the same same starship and all that sort of stuff. Yeah, I would just imagine that that would be a fascinating sort of look into the world of the supremacy the amount of people there because the way they portray it is it's just hallways with stormtroopers walking down them constantly yeah it's just hallways with yeah just stormtrooper hallways they gotta go places not too quickly though but they gotta go something over there let me look at how wide it was again how many destroyers do you think were in that scene oh it was wasn't it like I feel like it was like 15 destroyers individually on certain shots that's just the ones that we could see in frame I know it's crazy I don't know why they did that they were like the first order is just insane like it's the resources 61 kilometers wide that was after they'd lost the super death star too okay so with my calculator real quick if we have fifth let's say we see 15 star destroyers or just with that and we give it like a minimum crew complement that's 3,000 stormtroopers or clones right as an absolute minimum if I say that the crew complement would probably be for a ship that large of 200 oh my god I put rise of star wars final battle the rise of sky walker final battle sorry this is I'm getting off topic but it's just so stupid well you're trying to highlight that there was just a staggering amount of soldiers in the first order's army and they just don't give a fuck like the whole film doesn't seem to give a fuck I mean how feeding 3,000 soldiers alone they fed them with a force oh I guess you can you do that with a force now I don't fucking know the Palpatine probably fed them so close strange and unnatural powers right transfer my calories to you using the force and I just imagine like she like being like fed like with a feeding tube just massive amounts of calories and transfer cause when you look at them oh that's way more than 15 well no I was referring to TLJ if you're talking about this movie then it's over a thousand as far as I'm aware it's like fucking bonkersville Nick what the fuck I don't know if we imagine a crew complement 200 which is again is a pretty low estimate I would say for a ship of that size there is a staggeringly low amount of tie fighters considering all of the star destroyers too but if we say it's there's 500 ships would that be a reasonable estimate I can't believe that like if Palpatine just put a couple of them above atmosphere just a couple and you know that might have worked out for the better cause why keep them below atmosphere what is the benefit of that if they can't have shields it's a very strange movie they also can't figure out how to go up well Palpatine can push them up we saw it in the beginning he just push them on up do it Palpatine save your whole army weird person like this strategy when I googled rise of skywalker final battle to get pictures the second thing that pops up is star wars what happened in the final battle in the rise of skywalker like fuck a vinyl man I don't know what the hell happened how did they write the up thing in the board room and not have people just break out laughing do you really think audiences are this stupid they're like I think we can get away with it I think we can you know what I think that we just I just go for it guys we're gonna have a thousand star destroyers with a thousand death star lasers we'll have Poe say it but Poe will confirm this is totally normal so I've got some bad news Aiden it looks like it is not a crew of 200 I have no idea that was making a star trek estimate based on a galaxy class vessel which I think is smaller your estimate was a wee bit low it turns out that according to wikipedia the crew is 29,585 each star destroyer yeah this is the Zeisten that even to me seems excessive but alright it is excessive but that's what it is it's kind of crew of basically 30k let's give a conservative estimate and say there's 500 star destroyers that's 14 million 542,500 people required to make it all dead you just picture like there's a dude with like like you're like popcorn he's like get your popcorn here to sell everybody like to keep them all alive because fucking hell they need a lot of vending machines maybe they were just a special kind of stormtrooper that just doesn't require nutrients in any way shape or form they're just self-sufficient they don't even poop they're all robots this is this is why yeah that's why they had clones and prequels and droids it's so much easier to explain than I don't know there's just loads of people where'd they come from where did where did get Palpatine where did she get 14 million people he captured them from the planets just I guess he just went around capturing kids 14 million of them red light media sort of vaguely mentioned it it's like did he conjure them he could have though like that's the thing now he could have actually taken Star Wars canon to just oh an Abbey okay yeah because the writers they really like we make jokes about how the forces essentially uses a cop out but it's like they really pushing it like whenever you stuck in terms of writing the force did it it was like it used to be a big deal to make an army now it's just like they just pop up everywhere there's probably a second republic hidden on the moon or whatever but yes I don't know how that tangent even happened we'll cover the Ralph video in the future as we will cover season one of Mandalorian that's planning on being done as well and Infinite Crisis all coming out there's loads of just things that are going to happen also I was made aware that Movie Circle Jerk the subreddit that's a big fan of EFAP and us specifically they are banning anybody who is associated in positive ways to EFAP just like strictly just accounts that are linked to the subreddit well just the Mola subreddit or just people who speak positively about EFAP they just get banned now oh my goodness you can't even speak positively of EFAP so you gotta stop doing that guys that's not nice they're trying to talk about how much we're awful people and you keep ruining it so uh yeah and apparently the bad message they give everybody is he won't fuck you um they don't know that for sure me and rags we uh you know we'll decide that for ourselves we have an open relationship so yeah very presumptuous of them don't take the message too seriously you know they don't know I think they do but they don't so yeah fun times on that subreddit as per usual but um with that I'm pretty much good to go on this main event there is a link do the watch together we're gonna be checking out good ol' Jebby Nichols uh I know that we're not allowed to um we've been told several times by the world but this time we'll be okay because we have brought uh several women with us so uh they act as an official barrier of blockage if you will um but but yeah so the interesting thing about this video this is her TLJ video is that uh it's going to have aged rather poorly um because of a lot of things to like about TLJ let's say is for a lot of TLJ fans has been changed by TROS um that combined with the fact that uh we'll probably see some arguments we're aware of but we'll happily respond to them and you know it's not even that long of a video 23 minutes we can get through that in just under a few days right yeah I think so excellent um I might say for episode 69 I haven't discussed this was Mahler but today I'm identifying as a woman for today there you go full women sure pronouns I would enjoy that I will respect your pronouns that would validate my existence whatever that means I don't know what it means but it already feels good and at that point like a ratio of 4 to 1 I'm just saying like can you really say EFAP is a sexism anymore 4 to 1 alright is everyone ready for this wondrous adventure this is so I'm already hearing calm down Jenny I wasn't ready the top 10 worst reasons you hated the last Jedi to be fair I watched like 4 minutes of this yesterday and then I got forward so that we're gonna have to try and make it entertaining so I'm already hearing a lot of stuff about the last Jedi the lighting is much better even though this is in the past so I don't know the light was better I already said I liked it and I recorded that before people were making reviews so I didn't know it was a hot take wait oh I guess I just I don't know who she could be talking about well people were split on TLJ loads of people came out super positive about it from what I remember it was amazing loads of people didn't like it I think a lot of people they couldn't quite express why or what but something was up something ain't right here this wasn't the Force Awakens cause I think if you had like let's just pretend for a second that last Jedi was perfect except it had the holder maneuver still in it I think people would be able to easily identify their issue with the movie they'd be like oh it's that one bit because that changed blah blah blah but when you have so many things at once clashing like Luke's character oh my god the concept of the Force oh my god space battles oh my god how much the plot doesn't make sense would chase each other ah it's too much I don't know what I think about this movie anymore the fucking the first shot Rey takes the Falcon and she gets a triple kill fucking triple kill four ships lined up perfectly in that line and she just happened to be aiming at the other it's in fuck off you just hate women I almost missed shitting on T.L.J yeah it's it's like a nostalgia trip here you go it was a hot take at the time if I did I would have given it a clickbait title about how it was a hot take anyway not everybody has to like every movie but I appreciate doing people what was the guy we covered what feels like a year ago now you have the right to like the last Jedi you make sure we mention that in any of our response videos as well it's in the constitution people I'm just glad she mentioned it whatever but whenever I see people list the reasons they don't like it I tend to see the same things popping up again and again and those reasons are bad isn't that kind of our our position with media analysis that we always get shat on for we're like you can like or dislike but the reasons you have can be like proven you know accurate or inaccurate unlike people hate us for that I just don't think the reason she's going to tell well it's just interesting that she's taking that position it's like oh that's hey that's our position woohoo we actually like we agree with that yeah it's ironic right in that she seems to give that impression that like yeah you can like or dislike it but your reasons are bad which is which does seem to imply that you're allowed to dislike well it just sounds like she's saying you can actually be wrong you can you can be wrong about your opinion on a movie which to me I'm like oh my god I think you want to have a team what the fuck's going on here but obviously she's gonna take the complete opposite position but hey so I made a list number 10 Snoke didn't end up being anything I don't know Snoke was like a clever misdirection we were supposed to think she was there was nothing clever about it here we go my data because I read a bunch of research on this and I actually have research on specifically Star Wars and on expectancy violation theory on why it doesn't work I don't know if I should like wait to blow my load on it because I'm gonna make a video about it as well but clever misdirection is not what that was it was just stupid no it was lazy nonsense what does it even direct you to right what's the misdirection who's the actual bad guy Kylo I guess oh no wait it's actually Palpatine but we had no intention of doing that when we made this movie exactly it's like a someone ushering you to like you know see the movie then they go that's a dead end you're like okay so where is the movie then they're like yeah take the Force Awakens you show that Snoke is the person issuing the whole orders to the first order he's the leader of their organization he calls the shots he's the one who created them essentially brought up their rise to power he's like you just thought that he'd be important in some way yeah we yes a logical person with the brain yes we would have that notion in our heads yes it wasn't clever Ryan just decided no can't possibly do all that shit himself he just just turned to the dark side like a few years his death by the way is not actually something that I definitively have an issue with because like I think you could have killed him in the second movie and I think you could have done it well but it's just the what he had to die because people wouldn't have expected anything else I think after he killed Han so that was gonna have to happen just via people's expectations what you're talking about Kyla Ryan but the funny thing is that Kyla would have had to have died or at least have suffered some kind of retribution for killing Han I don't think that people would have expected anything else and the research that I have on that is consistent in terms of the Snoke stuff all this oh it's just it's a just violating our expectations we wanted a big bad and oh it was a violation no guess what people don't like that psychologically they don't like that I have so much research on this at this point and I've read it for a long time it's not new stuff to me but it's just very silly to me that you would say oh it's a subversion of expectations no it's not it's that you didn't know what the fuck you were doing that's what it is well she liked it so how'd you explain that I mean people you're allowed to like bad again we'll go back to that you're allowed to like something and it still be bad and it still doesn't make any sense the fundamental issue for me was just that Snoke is the obvious connecting piece between the original trilogy and the sequel trilogy he was everything we needed to understand how the hell everything happened and he just gets killed and you're like oh uh why did okay and then obviously it's going to be important so it turns out he wasn't even though he clearly is I was going to say he's important whether or not he's dead he's still important the lore is very very explicit that he is essential to these events happening like if the emperor dies in episode 6 and everyone's like well it doesn't matter he's not important that's what the point of that scene is I can't even say that anymore because he's not even dead but uh I love canon so it's a fun concept okay I don't know Snoke was like a clever misdirection we were supposed to think he was our big generic villain guy and then he was dispatched so a crazed loose canon could step in and that's more exciting to me oh my god well well well where are we now I was going to say I'm sorry that's a day's well to do yeah that is really great this delicious 2 year old glass of milk delicious I got my last Jedi pillow and my big fucking porg you guys just didn't like it to be fair I would like that big porg pillow just because it looks comfy just saying I don't like porgs but it looks comfy no it might be it might be I could see it also being pretty awkward to try and sort of rest on maybe when you're like reading a book you could sit against it but sleeping on it I don't know it's important that we analyze that what was generic about Snoke that he was big powerful and he monologued um he wore golden clothes what a generic baddie he has a scarred face that's generic yeah but Kylo's not generic I mean in the sense that the writing is terrible for him and we don't know what the fuck's going on he's a crazy wild card character he just does whatever I guess we don't we've never seen that I was gonna say like wouldn't isn't Snoke your chance to be non-generic to ast out like I say that in my videos like Snoke was this opportunity to be like let's make a new villain in the Star Wars universe and what the fact that he's scarred he's like nah he's not gonna be interesting it's like okay that's judging people by their looks and that's terrible no one should ever do that right Snoke was lame well if Snoke was lame make him un-lame why did they make him lame then how come a lame person was the head of this organization he could do lightning and force control mines across galaxies or whatever is that lame he was a pretty much a blank slate as of Force Awakens there's a couple things you have to keep which is that he likes to stick to the shadows which Ryan Johnson blew out he was just like okay oh here he is but also why would that be possibly a good thing for your main villain to be lame like I mean even if it's established in the first film it would be like oh it's a good thing that Darth Vader is lame if we look at the original trilogy why would that in any way be a good thing even seeing like Darth Maul is lame people thought Darth Maul was cool even if I mean for all the weird stuff we get here that snow it is a good thing that Snoke was lame because that way we could have a non-lame character because Kylo is definitely not lame at all I don't see how you're like yeah Snoke was lame but Kylo definitely not lame at all he is super cool for people being like you don't have enough time to sort of improve him a lot of people are saying Thanos was lame right up until Infinity War because we don't know anything about him he's crappy generic villain you watch the film it's like oh shit they actually it's like yeah you could have had Snoke basically argue that we cannot let the empire fail again because it leads the world to chaos like you could just have him be that character like the guy in Mandalorian exactly, yeah the Mandalorian guy just having invested in the idea that the empire is the best thing for the universe not too hard much more interesting than I like power just like the Emperor did you're like okay there's this continuity between the Mandalorian being like the empire brings peace and stability whereas the empire as we see in the films just blows everything up especially a bit of the first order we need to re-establish the empire it's like oh they do and then they threaten to just blow up everything after blowing up five planets like fucking hell still blowing things up JJ six planets oh yeah Kojimi which was really impactful by the way you could really tell Zoribless and Barbu Frick cared about Kojimi getting blown up oh yeah because the first thing is that they come in and he's like hey yeah he's like you have fucking happy all those people are dead and then you'd have to do a scene like in Infinity War with Thor if you were trying to repair it it turns out Barbu Frick does that because he's hiding his depression like he's constantly saying yay he's a really deep character yay in the reaching off screen bottle and just down he starts to build an evil like army of robots Barbu Frick does because he's so full of pain like how could the Republic have ever allowed this I'll make sure the Republic never exists again and so boom you have the Clone Wars again it's like poetry from Chagot what could have been should not be used as an argument against what's in the text of the film come on Mola like what do you mean we're talking about TLJ as a hypothetical film right now she's making the claim that it's good the Snoke was killed because he was lame and it's like well Ryan Johnson made him lame he didn't have to no he really didn't I will say this about the research on that that I read is that people actually really liked Kylo after TLJ because they thought he was the only character who had any personality and I think that when you have nothing but characters that are personality less or characters that are breaking everything that you expect from them Kylo was the only character from this movie who did have any capacity because they didn't give anything to power Finn or Ray obviously who had any capacity to have any character growth they didn't get anything so the only character who had any growth was Kylo Ren and then that of course got just shit on so and it wasn't real and it wasn't even real growth it was bullshit the whole it was all bad hey he forgave himself oh he forgives himself every time if that's not growth I don't know what is he's like some guy who gets who feels bad about masturbating and then he's like oh I feel bad about that and he just immediately forgives himself it's okay it's been like a day I remember looking forward to the idea that we were going to watch a dark side training session between Kylo and Snoke and it would give you loads of excuses to have them say a whole bunch of things it would give us a whole bunch of information about the characters and the world not in the mainline movies it's in the shows from what I understand in either Clone Wars or Rebels or something but yeah it would be neat to hear from Snoke why the dark side is actually like a direct decision in the mainline movies those are opportunities you have to do all these different things but Snoke was lame so killing him was the good decision why was he lame we made him that way really before we go forward because I'm going to be referencing this study it's a study from bonus matthews in wolf 2019 it's called the impact of moral expectancy violations on audiences parasocial relationships with movie heroes and villains it's published three weeks ago in communication research it is a study specifically on the last Jedi check it out it's in communication research if you google communication research journal you will find the study I'm talking about and then you can go to scihub.tw and you can pull up the study no problem read it yourself it's very interesting just want to make very clear what I'm talking about here because people always ask me where I get my studies where I get my research check it out guys the study found that women don't hate star wars and stuff like that like it's very interesting sorry they don't or should I say lame like in game of thrones with the red wedding I thought the whole reason everybody thought that was clever is that it showed that a character you thought was invincible because of established tropes they fulfilled could actually just be unceremoniously killed off again the him getting killed isn't necessarily the problem like you could still have him be killed in TLJ that's not really where my issue lies exactly him being killed gives us the impression oh god we're not going to know anything else about him now because he can't speak anymore he's fucking dead
