So /co/ will you be reading the Captain Phasma miniseries?

>>91555786
I am. She was made up to be a Boba Fett-level badass, but so far was pretty underwhelming. I hope, the new canon material would rectify that.

Why do I feel like this is a "muh Marvel/muh Disney" thread where you want to autistically bitch about feminism/race/SJWs over an actual question?

>>91555786

Eh. I'm still waiting for a Boba Fett or TOR ongoing.

Yep. Love the character, like pretty much the whole staff on the book (Gamora was better than it had a right to be). Should be fun.

>>91555809
>She was made up to be a Boba Fett-level badass

So literally Boba Fett.

>>91555891
But this time a Stronk Independent Womyn Who Needs No Man Or Bewbs, you shitlord.

>>91555904
What exactly are you trying to accomplish with a shitpost like this?

Is Phasma the only trooper captain with a cape? I don't recall others but I'm also not a nerd. Why isn't that more common, it's badass.

>>91555786
Nah.

>>91555891
Well, Boba Fett was kind dull in the films and then turned into an amazing badass in the Expanded Universe. I'm expected something like this to happen again much like Lucasfilm does.

>>91555936
>not a nerd
>browses /co/
something seems fishy

>>91555867
What? What the fuck is there to love in what little screentime she had?

>>91555993
That's exactly the case with Boba Fett as well. This one happened *before* the actual movie premiered though, which is weird

>>91555786
Dr. Aphra is the only good thing spawned by Disney Wars.

Heroes never die anon! he could come back as a Dark trooper! with awsome cybernetic enhancements!

She's supposed to have a bigger part in Last Jedi

>>91556062
Silly anon, those didn't appear in the OT. There's no way they're creating a version for the ST.

>>91556063
Which is totes because that *was* what they originally intented to do, not just because of the fallout generated from hyping the character to sell the New Star Wars concept and then having literally no idea what to do with her

Would you guys like Phasma to show her face at any point?

>>91556346
No, I don't want her to end up like Zero Suit Samus getting shoved down our throats

She's literally Next-Gen Boba Fett so yeah, totally.

She's been in like 2 games, I don't know what you're talking about.

>>91556381

>>91556425
More like the last 5 Metroid games, don't know about Federation Force

And that's not counting Brawl and Sm4sh

>>91556474
To be fair, the first handful of google image search results show the original suit (if you ignore the automatic subsearches tho)

>>91556474
Besides showing up at literally the end or as a load screen what role has she had in those games?

>>91556507
Tits an ass, it got worse in the last decade

>>91556520
That doesn't explain how she's "been shoved down our throats" if that's what she's done since the first game.

>>91556564
Used to be a reward, now her suit falls off every 5 minutes

>>91556570
Now you're just making shit up.

Not that anon, but classic Sammy had you work hard to see her in her soft suit. Now it's easily on display with no effort at all needed. Nintendo made her easy.

>>91556609
Wasn't Samus supposed to canonically be about 7 feet tall due to the Chozo stuff?

>>91556687
Like 6'3" out of her suit if Nintendo power were to be believed same heright asGwendoline Christie concidentially
Made sense since in most of the games she stood taller than most

But she either lost a foot after Prime 3 or everyone's a giant freak

>>91556687
Canonically now she's a blonde Japanese housewife in a suit

No, because her actress is ugly, and at least with the helmet on I can pretend otherwise. I also wouldn't mind if Phasma turned out to be a droid.

That depends are they going to keep her as a villain or make some forced hamfisted redemption because God forbid a woman be a villain.

>>91555786
Will the miniseries explain why she was so quick to betray her comrades and doom them all to certain death by surrendering the secrets of the Starkiller base under hypothetical threat of violence?

I don't read D*sney's fanfic. Fuck off to your general.

>>91556849
Why didn't they just have her do that? It would've given her something other then being trash.

These Boba Fett comparisons are funny since he did shit in the movies he was in.

>>91556943
Thanks for saying the same thing that has been said 30 times in this thread lol.

Reading? Sure.
Buying? It'll have to be damn good before I drop a penny.

I still can't imagine what went on at the design meeting, did someone just say "We want a stormtrooper, but shiny" and then someone else went and took it literally?

>>91556934
I can't imagine Gwendoline doing that. Traitor is only a thing because it was unintentional and a surprising amount of energy put into 1 scene from a minor actor

>>91556954
So the reason phasma was trash was because the actress can only act as trash?

>>91556995
Yeah, just look at Brienne

>>91556880
Her face should be sharp angles with a touch of cruelty to her expression, not a pudgy lump who just looks annoyed when they try to look intimidating.

I imagine it's because they wanted to sell the First Order troopers in general as being a legit threat instead of just cannon fodder. Not that it worked because apart from that scene there wasn't much else from them, but that might've been the intent.
I definitely agree though. If Kylo is Rey's nemesis, Phasma should've been Poe's.

Checchetto is great, he's the guy that gave us that Solid Frank run where everyone looked gorgeous and violent. Thompson IDK, I've never really been a fan of any of her comics and I don't recall her writing many villain/amoral protagonists (except maybe indirectly fascist Carol). I know she wrote a prose novel about a superhero and supervillain, but I could do without e.g. "Captain Phasma is only working for the First Order because they're holding her girlfriend captive" or something along those lines. Let her be a bitch and a bastard like Fett is and I'll be into it. And to be fair not like Boba Fett hasn't been run through a few hostage plots.

It's too bad Cumberbatch got kicked out of the role. Imagine a Smaug like voice snarling out of the mask. Regal but dangerous in wrath.

It is really weird that they didn't give that scene to Phasma.

Benedict Cucumberbatch is a lanklet though

Krennic genuinely has one of the best death scenes of any Star Wars villain.

>>91556995
Also literally trash.

I'm conflicted. I really like Checchetto's art but I really dislike Thompson's writing.

>>91555977
Boba Fett had some great stories from the Legends EU like Last One Standing. There is just no medium for something like that nowadays.

>>91558163
there is a difference between "liberal" and "left". Lucas is almost certainly "left", but he is definitely not a liberal like how you modern day Americans conceive of it.

BOOOOOORING

Her armor's pretty sleek I'll give her that, but who cares a about a turncoat who spilled the beans and lowered the shields of her army without torture or even minimal threats? I'd rather read about a true hero.

So if she'd held out and refused to help the infiltrators, the rebel attack would have failed and the death-planet wouldn't have been blown up, right?

Here's the thing: I want this to have happened 15 years ago because the character could be really cool but I'm so bored of Star Wars.

Where are all the shapely female Stormtroopers? Surely there are some out there that have some big ol' tiddies and need armor that fits.

I'll read it and no doubt be disappointed. Not only do I doubt their ability to redeem Phasma off screen (and I'm doubtful they could do it on screen), but 4 issue runs tend to be garbage in my experience.
