Obscene and nonsensical as always, Deadpool kills for an undeniable truth.

Maybe enough time hasn't passed since the prequel films but I still can't even imagine anyone actually thinking they're better than the OT.

I enjoy the prequels but I prefer the original trilogy.
? :)

Young people unaffected by nostalgia would probably prefer the grandeur of the last three Star Wars films (1-3). Hell, somebody said the first three should be rebooted in the Spiderman thread (which makes no sense or he is so young that he considers 1-3 to be the first three films).

I think the prequels were a good except for parts of ep1, it seemed as if it was somewhat made for a child audience. Ep3 totally kicked major A** and Like wook said the original trilogy has more granduer.

Or that he thinks the prequels were crap and therefore had to be fixed... :suicide:

If he liked them he wouldn't have said to reboot them

Must have been a different thread. I specifically remember someone saying reboot the first three SW films.

Yeah, you fail at reading or purposely excluded the rest of my comment from the quote.

ok, let's review this fail:

Originally posted by Wookie06:

Implying (correctly) that some younger people love the prequels.

Originally posted by Wookie06:

This sentence, attached to the last, implies that rebooting is something the poster must've wanted because he love the prequels so much.

Originally posted by Wookie06:
(which makes no sense or he is so young that he considers 1-3 to be the first three films).


Confirming the implication I derived from the previous sentence by saying that makes no sense unless they are young.

So I'm going to go with: either you failed at realizing the point of the post in the other thread, or you really fail at posting coherently, which seems likely by your use of the word fail.

Agreed Couchman, glad to see Deadpool has the same opinion as Deadman.

Actually, no, you confirmed your misunderstanding in the quote. I said it made no sense or he was so young that he considered the prequels the first three films. The implication is by saying "no sense" followed by "or" is that it makes sense if he considered the prequels the first three movies.

Albeit I incorrectly identified his post to begin with. I still distinctly remember someone recently referring to the prequel movies as the first three movies. Either that or Alzheimer's.

edit - In order to correctly understand my intent in the post you have to disregard the incorrect circumstance from the begining. He apparantly did not word his post the way I suggested (or, doubfully, knows some stealth way to edit). In the context I meant at the time we wouldn't even be arguing the point.

wookiee, you have to realise, there's two different ways to look at the word 'first three' in this context.

You: First Three = Original Trilogy, you're thinking Chronologically in real life and won't take any other opinions on the matter

Other People: First Three = Either OT or Prequels, they think of the Prequels because they happen to take place BEFORE the OT. Fiction can do that. Even though the movies were created nearly 20 years after the first set finished filming that does not mean that in the fictional timeline that these 'new' stories aren't able to be set before the other. Thats what 'Prequel' means. It means that you can call something the 'First Three' when you use the timeline in this magical fictional world.

all that needs to be realized is the context and that You, wookiee, don't need to throw tantrums whenever someone manages to offend you.

Personally I agree, there are quite a few elements of the Prequel Trilogy that should really be redone, like yoda, that make the transition between the trilogies very incongruent.

and Jar Jar is an Ambomination... but one that gets kids into the movies.

The OT is better of course.

Still, I like the prequels and even Jar Jar has grown on me.

So where's that option?

For the rest this thread has me completely confused.

First three? You mean the first three they made, or the first three episodes?

Nobody has offended me. I totally understand that many people too young to have been exposed to the first three movies first would think of episodes one through three as the first three. I was very clear on that matter. Seriously, I think most Star Wars fans that grew up with the release of the entire franchise view Star Wars as the first Star Wars movie. Then again, I really didn't see BHO getting elected either.

Nope, at worst it's because I had more faith in the American people. At best it's because I gave McCain too much credit. He lost more than bHo won.

Holy crap man. At first I thought you were being unfairly blamed in this thread for the 'argument' we had, takes two to tango and all that.
But you really are just here to troll aren't you?
Let the Deadpool Star Wars thread be about Deadpool and Star Wars ffs

Oh, sorry for responding to an insult. Even bringing up the issue from the start was to show how out of touch I must be because I couldn't have imagined bHo getting elected. If anything that was a jab at myself to start with. But I do agree that the thread should be about Star Wars and Deadpool and not me so hopefully other people can avoid the temptation to attack me based on political views in this thread.

You are the one who brought politics into the thread, and given all the other threads you've had such discussions in you must've known exactly what would happen.
You don't get to play the victim here.

I didn't even bother seeing Episode 3. That's how little I care about the new movies.

I did however, like watching Yoda saber fight in Ep.2

Well, episode three is definitely the highlight of the prequels, it's easily the best, by far. It also has the most bearing on what's happening in the OT.

The Clone Wars era itself has fascinated me since AotC, hell, I thought Battle of Geonosis was cool (not to mention one of the few good parts of the film). And the Clone Wars cartoons were great stuff and of course I liked RotS the best of the prequel movies even though it has a lot of Narm but also a lot of Clone Wars greatness.

I don't think the "but you know who the winner of the Clone Wars is from the beginning!" argument matters because ultimately that applies to every piece of pre-ANH Star Wars canon. No matter how many Sith acolytes and Jedi dorkanerds you slay in KotOR, a tiny army of furry gasbags will still bring an intergalactic Empire down. Hip hip!

The Clone Wars sounds all mystical and grandiose when you would here about it in the original trilogy and their novel adaptations. Then Lucas went and made it into this half-witted, annoying crap.

Lucas may have started it as such but I like what other people have done to it (Genndy Tartakovsky TV series, Republic Commando, hell - even those funky Quinlan Vos comics).

But each to their own liking, I assume.
