The beauty of the show is the chess almost doesnt matter, like you can substitute it with anything else really, painting, a sport idk math, definitely broadens the audience in how theyve done it. Kind of reminds me of A Beautiful Mind in some ways as well. That being said I love that its about Chess! My dad taught me when I was quite young and something we still play to this day. I dont know anything about openings or strategy mind you but I like to think im at least an average player I do know that one opening Mr Stible uses on her to check mate her in what 3 moves right off the bat there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Viva la FCB+ 2,557 Posted May 31, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted May 31, 2021 Mare of Easttown wrapped up last night. Excellent HBO mini series, id highly recommend checking it out its a small town murder mystery. Kate Winslet is absolutely immense, its an enthrawling story on its own but Kate's character and acting are some of the best Ive seen in recent years.

Yes, she deserves criticism for the direction the franchise took under her leadership, but people acting like she's someone who single-handedly "ruined" Star Wars as if she's some Palpatine kind of evil is truly tiresome.

She really isn't far off. She didn't ruin Star Wars per say but she genuinely ruined any potential the new trilogy could of had. It's no surprise the projects she has backed off from have been brilliant, and Lucasfilms and Favreau himself want to keep it that way moving forward, which is brilliant for the franchise.

My point is, you can't cherry pick - she's equally as responsible for the successes of the franchise as she is responsible for its failures, especially when she okays or vetoes the projects and picks the people to create them.

Sorry, not having that. That's like saying you can't criticise D&D for the abomination that was season 8 in game of thrones because they gave us battle of the bastards. Those that create the entertainment can be equally criticised for ruining it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was, if you criticise her for bad decisions, you have to be ready to give her credit for the good ones. Big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
