Yeah, he was basically TARS with the humour setting at 100%.

I don't think I'd even give him that. K2 and the blind guy were so committee-approved it was like you could see their action figures making poses every time they moved. I wondered why I didn't feel a single thing for this character who was supposed to be charming as I left theater. It feels like K2 didn't even interact with anyone. He existed in his own bubble where, in a strangely fitting way, he spouted snark only that sounded like it was generated by a computer.

His open opeming scene was bad. Don't know why they made him sound so retarded

>>81200535
The blind guy was there to get the Asian demographic, and to satisfy the "technically no Jedi but here's cool melee shit"

I, personally, found him very cool, very cool. Along with the great vistas and the great action, K-2SO™ was what Rogue One: A Star Wars Story™ an 11/10 movie in my opinion.

>>81203390
It felt like the Kotor games where they try to force you to be something other than a jedi for the first half of the game in I, and offer you the chance to be an unarmed guy in a fucking Jedi came in II.

That's not why people come there.

Pic related still objectively the coolest robot and the best depiction of what advanced AI would actually look like in cinema.

All others have been equally shit as far as I can remember, Rogue One's SarcasmBot 2000 is no worse than many others.

The only things I didn't like about K2 is that it's CGI and that the eyes moved. I don't think the "quips"were that bad.

>>81204260
Something like a utility version of a Matrix squiddie with many different sized arms for work would be much better.

Humanoid or doglike is idiotic, and that thing is going in the wrong direction. Long hinges driving single-stick, single-axle limbs without so much as a wigglable hip doesn't work well for moving, and sucks even on a perfectly flat surface.

>without so much as a wiggleable hip
But the movie showed it has tons of joints and moving parts. I think the design is great. It's like its full physical functionality is hidden in plain sight. It's a box because it's supposed to fit into the ship. Makes perfect sense.

The late 70s and early 80s were a total horror show foe me.

>>81207108
Holy fuck, I'd completely forgotten about that utter trash.

>>81200430
I agree about the design but he wasn't memorable because he was good or particularly entertaining, he was memorable because he was the only character who wasn't completely dull. I watched the movie two days ago and the only things I remember are the battle at the end, which was actually pretty well done, and autismbot.

>>81200344
>8 1/2 inches tall

wow, sick reference, bravo

He and Krennic were the only characters remotely interesting or charasmatic.
Everyone one else was generic and melodramatic.
That director is intensely mediocre and his typical approximately 60% rt score movie got a bump from being a part of the Star Wars franchise.

>>81200396

>Only character with any charisma and it was a robot
>Only character that really had a heroic sacrifice

I couldn't believe that they gave the only noble sacrifice to the robot. Everyone else died incidentally or in a way that felt completely contrived. Like Baze? The blind guy's buddy? He dies because he just decides to shoot at 6 other stormtroopers that really weren't inhibiting anything as there weren't any other objectives there.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is the most juvenile piece of shit ever made.

It's awful even when compared to all the other Bayformers.

>Obnoxious tagalong character walks out of a public restroom with pants around ankles, telling nearby guards that he ran out of toilet paper

I don't remember what the context/purpose of that scene was, only that it made me cringe.

srsly man

if the movie wasn't "Star Wars" it would have been a complete bomb

Just run it over in your mind. Imagine Star Wars had never been released and this was just some sci-fi movie.

Best robot coming through

>>81204260
I can't disagree. TARS (pictured) and his robot kind are designed as highly functional mechanical monoliths with their science-fiction but not far-off fantasy "variable magnetic joints" giving them a huge range of adaptable motions from singular giant wheels to bipeds with arms.

Then from a behavioral aspect it plays up the "chinese room argument" to it's fullest extent. With perfectly mimicked dripping sarcasm, jokes, and independence, TARS is convincingly anthropomorphized despite its incredibly inhuman design. Yet despite all of its personality, it remains as selfless, adjustable and programmed as we would expect any computer to be.

So despite TARS being centuries ahead of our current robotic technology, he's by far the most realistic advanced robot character ever made in film. He's both back to back believable and amazing.
