I prefer to think of the Matrix as a wonderful standalone film.

I love how Neo's Godhood turns into just better Kung Fu in Reloaded.

If you want a rip off of LOTR... then read the Shannara books.

Or hey, watch Babylon 5.

I always saw Bab5 as DnD in space, but with a writer who knew what he was doing.

Made Star Trek look like a soap opera.

Neither did Ripley... wait.... oh yeah... they resurected her.

Naked Gun trilogy?



Was the third movie any good? I can't remember it

Any chance we could reach a concensus on what is actually the worst 'trilogy'?

The Look Who's Talking films.

Onyx, will we do the same for Dragon Age when our favorite ending gets retconned?



Also, the Metroid Prime trilogy could not have ended any worse.

Not even Ron Pearlman and the guy from Blu Velvet and one Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest could save that movie



BLADE TRILOGY DIDN'T HAVE A GOOD THIRD MOVIE

There are no heroes Dragon Age is daaaaaaark fantasy

Yeah

I am holding on to a thimble of optimism because Gaider's reply on this subject made zero sense

I know I'm just helping my thread steer off in the wrong direction, but I apply this logic to Predators. I only consider the original movie, and add the new one (Predators), as its only sequel.

Predators was awesome.

I have no issue with the story and how everything flows, but I have just one issue. The part where each new Reaper takes on the appearance of the race that made it. So far I haven't seen a whole lot of Reapers but the ones I have seen have all looked the same, except the "Human Reaper". So far I've seen Sovereign, the derelict and an obscured Harbinger, you also get a reasonable view of the Reaper fleet and they all looked pretty much the same to me.



So why did the Human Reaper look like a Terminator wanna be? That is my only sticking point, it just didn't fit for me, it looked really out of place. One thing I have to point out though is that the Human Reaper was in a very early stage of it's development so it's overall look may have changed to something a little different. It's hard to say when you don't have a full view of where it was supposed to be heading. Maybe we will find out in ME 3.

I think its more "Id rather have the people and not need them, or at least have someone there even if it is the wrong people, then have no one there when the reapers come" kind of approach. And I think TIM knows more then he lets on, just he always seems right. WIth the collectors, with Horizon, the derilict repear ect.

Yes, but what exactly would that do?  The cake analogy is simple, but it still shows the futility of what one's doing is pointless.  We've no idea what these individual soldier's role will be in stopping the bad guys.  They're simply there, or not?  It is senseless.  More intel is required before an actual plan can be constructed.  At that point, you can then acquire said characters, and give them specific roles to enact a plan, as opposed to having them sit around while the intel comes available.  Cart before the horse.

i think they replace themselves. They are from a while before, the cycle before the Protheans I believe. But we may see some in zany forms yet un-thought-of.

I understand what your saying but personally Id rather have the soldiers waiting for the intel, even if they aren't needed, then have the intel there and having to scramble at the last second to pull them all together. TIM chose well, as was said in an above post, and tried to cover all of the bases. This was the problem, IMO, with the council. They sat around waiting for the intel. Sometimes its neccessary to make a choice, to move, even if its a wrong move. And in this case I believe it is

The concept art for the Human Reaper seemed to indicate it was a vary basic skeleton we saw in comparison to what it would have been upon completion. But still, it would have had a distinctly unique design compared to the other Reapers, I think. I'm hoping EDI's prediction that what we were seeing as some form of Reaper reproduction is complete bull****. She's just an AI, what does she know.
