The worst part is some of the coolest moments of the trilogy happened in Episode 8. It could’ve been so good.
At any rate, Episode 9 may have been a letdown (more disappointing for what it could have been, than bad), but it’s worth watching just to cap off the run. Solo was a pretty fun heist movie. I’d expected it to be terrible with the way it was being talked about and it turned out to be a solid popcorn flick. Not as good as Rogue One, but Rogue One was amazing.
At least they’re taking a few years to to square things up before trying to release any more movies. Though, the strikes are probably gonna delay things even further.
People don’t realize that part of diverging from our monkey ancestry traded a lot of brute strength for dexterity. Chimpanzee’s can weigh as much as an average adult male, but their hand and arm strength is enough to literally tear your face off.
Not joking, there was a lady who made the news because a chimp removed her hands and then all of her facial features. The way muscles insert in their arms and the upper arm/forearm proportions maximize force but reduce the range of motion and fine motor control, but it’s still like fighting a middle schooler with the strength of a couple of adult men. And also that kid’s a an angry cannibal.
Apparently chimps have been seen killing and eating gorillas. Basically, monkeys can be rough, but chimps are scary as fuck. This website almost reads like it’s joking, but all the numbers actually line up and it seems like a legitimate zoology website.
