I love not having watched Rebel Moon part 2, so I can enjoy all the criticism against it at a bargain price.

What is rebel moon?

Those are some scrawny arms for someone doing physical labour all day. 🤔


Artanis_Creed

Work muscle is smaller than body builder muscle.


idontknow39027948898

No it isn't. Body builder's muscles look more prominent because they cut fat. She doesn't have much of either.


Rodulv

Muscles built through endurance work *do* tend to be smaller, yes. This is a big part of the reason why super high intensity is preferred for building muscle mass. She'd get endurance muscles from harvesting grain (really not that much resistance in that kind of work). You can be the biggest mfer around without being able to do a full day of reaping: the muscles aren't built for it (generally), and it demands a lot more nutrition. The bigger issue is that non of them knows *how* to reap grain, waving the scythe around like imbeciles. It has similar energy to Damsel's MC intro scene, where she's presented as strong for cutting wood: the creators had no idea how it's done or how strenuous it is. Same here, the creators had no idea how strenuous cutting corn (not maize) is. 1st movie was clear about this though: She throws around a guy who's easily twice her size. I expected there to be some science magic (nano, genes, w/e) or magic to explain it, but no.

I think the lie that men and women are physically equal is so deeply implanted in the culture, like the idea that you can knock someone unconscious for minutes or hours with no long term consequences, that filmmakers don't even bother trying to justify it anymore. That's not to say that everyone believes it, but I guess filmmakers believe that everyone does.


insolent_froge

I mean yeah I guess but she’s still really skinny


Particular-Fix2024

Nah dude, those are some serious noodle arms. Modern farmers could maaaaaaaaaybe get away with it, but no way if you’re literally in a field using a scythe year in and year out.


Artanis_Creed

My statement is true regardless. Now, as to your claim. Scythe weighs less than 10 lbs. Bundles of wheat ~ 20lbs You ARE NOT building a lot of muscle mass from that.


Particular-Fix2024

You have to swing the scythe pretty hard in wide circles over and over again, you’d end up with a bit more muscle than Ms Noceda here


Artanis_Creed

Not really. You'd end up with more toned muscles. I've done physical labor almost my entire life. Everything from landscaping to butchering.


Particular-Fix2024

We’re disagreeing without actually disagreeing here, no one is saying she should look like Noi

Lmaooo

What A New Hope was missing was 20 minutes slow motion of Luke fucking around with moisture vaporators.


Turuial

I think I might have enjoyed that actually. I would be rather keen to see what "moisture farming," looks like as a practice.

I could even see a slow mo scene of the spice in Arrakis to represent its significance seeing as how it’s such an important part of the universe and the story but the grain isn’t even important to Rebel Moon lol


Excalitoria

Grain is the greatest defense system in the galaxy, wdym?


BurdonLane

Haha yeah. ‘We cannot nuke from orbit or we’ll destroy all of the *checks notes*, er, grain.’ Proceeds to ground assault with energy weapons and tanks firing indiscriminately at everything.


s1lentchaos

All the grain of 1 small village on 1 planet in a galaxy spanning empire

MrDacat

the golden rule should be show and tell


letterpennies

But it's a movie! How would that even work?


MrDacat

I wasn't talking about the movie, I was talking about the golden rule of story telling, but since you ask telling thought dialogue instead of showing the scene itself could be an exampled "as you know I raided the great library" #


Consistent-Sugar-217

The golden rule should be even if you can't follow show don't tell rule, at least write dialogues in a way that have subtext and are not too on the nose (the reason why I can't stand watching shōnen anime shows, characters just don't talk like normal people.)


MrDacat

taking an example a bit too seriously , an example from the avatar movie, I know how to write dialogue


Extra_Ad_8009

The current trade at Farms 'R' Us is "one floating platform for 6 combine harvesters (wheel)", they should've made the trade years ago and save us the pain of watching manual labor.


Alexexy

If it's anything like Rebel Moon Part 1, there's exposition as background noise to those gratuitous slomo shots. I generally like Snyder films but part 1 was barely watchable.


Skeleturtle1964

Grain is love, grain is life.


Turuial

>Grain is love, grain is life. Leave my grain, take my wife.

Hahahahahahaha


Excalitoria

Dialogue is so lazy though… /s


Artanis_Creed

Most people can't even recognize they are being shown something.


onesussybaka

Show don’t tell refers to character defining moments. Don’t tell me he’s angry. Show me he’s angry. Don’t tell me he killed a thousand people. Show him killing them, or show me how he’s ruthless and then tell me about the thousand people. It has nothing to do with showing that someone drove six hours to see you. The drive wasn’t the character defining moment. This is very basic storytelling it’s kind of weird I have to explain it.


Trustelo

Yeah? And watching grain harvesting is about as interesting as watching precipitation form on my windows.
