don't you see how it's offensive to us that you keep saying it's blatantly obvious. you are pretty much suggesting we are stupid because we just don't see ANY propaganda. you haven't already told me. you keep saying that there are obvious messages, you keep referencing these clear political messages, but you have not ONCE actually explained what these messages are and where they are. an obvious message would be something like rey looking at the screen and saying "I am gonna beat this guy because I'm a feminist!" that is an obvious message. there are no obvious messages. that article explained that JJ Abrams wanted to make the films have a wide appeal. that's just doing his job. not a political statement. you're saying that because rey apparently became so good without any training (DESPITE the fact that we all know the force is a mysterious and unpredictable thing) it is OBVIOUSLY a political message. that's just post hoc ergo propter hoc. it's not a valid argument. you really need to start qualifying your assertions because you are not giving us anything here. it's still coming across misogynist.

Found this picture on the web and its a new year card. So Happy New Year to All The Guyver Forum.

Mirabilis, words fail me. You are just punishing yourself. I can't believe we watched the same movie and came away with such differing viewpoints. *** Kylo Ren cutting his own arm off... I can definitely see him mutilating himself in an effort to strengthen his own control, to overcome the conflict inside himself. Especially after getting pwned by Rey. Or Snoke might do it to him to punish him and give him more focus at the same time. It's not far-fetched... Yakuza do it when they have failed in some big way. They just cut off a finger, though. Speaking of Snoke: it's a cinch that his identity is meant to be a surprise, and a sucker bet that the hologram is not his true appearance. Snoke could still turn out to be a female. There is another theory which might fit in more with the way Star Wars seems to do business. A while ago I considered the possibility that Anakin Skywalker wasn't literally 'conceived by the Force' as Qui-Gon concluded from what little information he had. Most people seem to think that, since Darth Plagueis and Darth Sidious were experimenting at the time with harnessing life force, creating life, through Force manipulation, Anakin's birth was an unintended side effect; like a pearl formed by an oyster in response to an irritant. Personally, I thought it was a lot more likely and poetic if Anakin was simply Palpatine's kid. It might even have been part of Plagueis' plan. Palpatine was also very strong in the Force; if the offspring of such an individual were manipulated by an accomplished Force user who had dedicated himself to his goal, they could create an even more powerful Force-sensitive. Plagueis and Sidious would almost have to have known of the prophecy about the Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. Why shouldn't the Sith be the ones to produce and control such an individual? Shmi might believe 'there wasn't a father' but somehow I suspect two Sith lords would have no trouble at all to roofie a young slave woman. Anyway... I think Snoke might be another one of Palpatine's children. Anakin's brother. This movie series is about family - I didn't come up with that, Lucas stated it outright. Palpatine and Vader have a pretty messed-up father-son-type relationship. Perhaps it was more than an example of that type of relationship.

10) Defenestration is not a valid means of punishment. Ingriam Mirabilis, this means you. (Ingriam: I only throw the really annoying ones out the window.)

I mentioned before, I think it'd be cool if they made an animated film about the Arizona Incident. The four proto-zoalords battle against the council and Murakami's escape. I think it'd be really cool and fairly simple to do.
