    Hey guys, for anyone who can/wants to help Jay, I've set up a fundraiser to get his car fixed/replaced. Anything y'all could contribute would be a help, even a couple bucks.

    Can we talk about how this is being made by the Crash Bandicoot team

    ...and come to think of it, Crash Bandicoot games share a lot of similarities with the new 3D Sonic style of gameplay

    Maybe it won't be so different after all :L

    Maybe he's just not running top speed for their sake. The Flash isn't constantly moving lightspeed either.

    That only works in certain situations. There's a difference between growing out of something and changing one's mind about it upon reflection. Those cartoons you're talking about were intelligently written, and they may've been for kids but they also didn't patronize kids; they put in jokes that would likely go over most of their heads, knowing that their parents would laugh and they'd eventually get it themselves when they grew up. Phantom Menace wasn't meant for kids, it was meant for all ages - and it's written like a Kindergarten project. A lot of people just didn't notice the first time because it did everything it could to keep you from thinking about it. Scene for scene there's so much more action than most of the original trilogy had, and the pace is much quicker.

    This is all well and good, but it only serves The Phantom Menace; any good it does for the rest of the series is either negligible, inefficient, or ultimately outweighed by the confusion it adds. If the movies are meant to stand as a whole, 1-3 and 4-6 united, then there are enough examples of the Sith's fierceness and Obi-Wan's morality that whatever episode 1 adds is just so much fluff. In turn we get confused relationships (Anakin and Padme, Anakin and Obi-Wan), a lot of weird plot contrivances (blockade scene, Padme's double, characters generally making stupid decisions moment to moment), and a narrative that is largely discarded inside of an hour and a half. Episode 1 matters primarily to itself, somewhat to episodes 2 and 3, and not at all to 4, 5, and 6. And even then, it's not that great. It's just eye-catching.
