Can anyone enjoy anything anymore? TLJ was great
Posted by Brettesaurus Rex on 12/22/17 at 3:30 pm5085
Been avoiding this board purposefully as it's been full on melt to form my own opinion. Very enjoyable and entertaining. I don't get any of the SJW angles anyone is coming up with at all. I had a feeling everyone was overreacting and looks like I was right. The dynamic between Rey and Kylo going forward will be great and will be a good springboard into IX and beyond.

The evil First Order is conveniently made up of a bunch of white dudes.
The good guys are a picture of diversity.
I'm sure that's totes a coincidence though.

Not sure about great, but was definitely not as bad as the MTB makes it out to be.

Phasma is a white woman
I don't know if Snoke was a white dude or not
But obviously the Empire and First Order are based off of the Nazis

You could say the same thing about the OT and Prequels. They are just much more heavy handed with it in TLJ.

Who you barely see without armor on. And who has little screen time.

Well he's definitely not a spunky asian woman now is he?

And? Are you suggesting only white males can have nazi tendencies?

Don't worry. As the years roll by, it will fester and sink in more. Unless you don't care and just like explosions and robot movies and shite like that. If so, I sort of envy you.

And you completely forgot all of the GIRL POWER! moments spread out throughout the movie.
Bunch of female heroes all over, and stupid regretful males bowing down to the females.

1. Every evil person with speaking parts was cast as a caucasian male, with the exception of Phasma, who btw was also caucasian. NO EVIL DIVERSITY.
2. It's apparently ok for women (Leia) to slap males (Poe) in the face. Imagine the feminist outrage & boycott if Poe hit a woman!
3. Every human Resistance leader was female. Ackbar was the only male, albeit alien, and he was killed off unceremoniously.
4. Poe was depicted as headstrong & incompetent for trying something else to avoid defenseless transportees from getting killed, which ironically is what the "smart" female leaders eventually accomplished. Still, Poe is tainted as mutinous ineffective alpha male and the females are heroic.
5. Pushing PETA-like animal abuse sentiment over enslaved OTB animals (not real ones; CGI'd ones) that they needed to be freed, yet the writers were so busy adding in this irrelevant agenda, they left the kids enslaved.
6. The two self-sacrifices were by two women (asian pilot & Laura Dern) which was depicted as selfless and courageous. Meanwhile Ackbar goes out on a whimper.
7. Two other minority self-suicides were avoided when smart female Rose sacrifices herself (but survives) to save the pointlessly suicidal dumb male Finn.
8. Anti-capitalism/anti-wealth snark depicting the rich people only as war-profiteers, who were literally called "One percenters" in the movie.
9. Luke was the only caucasian male on the Resistance (Poe hispanic, Finn black) and Luke was killed off due to too much astral projection, maenwhile female Leia, who was half-dead in space, saves herself.
Anti-caucasian, anti-male, anti-wealth, anti-capitalism, pro-feminism, pro-diversity, pro-animal-rights are common SJW themes that were intentionally added & approved by the writers, directors & producers. In the prequels & the orginal trilogy had Princesses and male human generals as leaders of the Resistance. In Kathleen Kennedy's SW world, not only are the Resistance leaders female, but so is the lead.
Kind of deaf-tone representation when 67% of the paying audience was male and 62% were caucasian. Representation is the name of the game, amiright? Diversity just means inclusion by exclusion.

It's not so much agenda but the lack of a coherent balance between where this is going and where it's been.. It's a fricking trilogy that didn't move the main protagonist forward in her development.. At this point, I'm rooting for Ren to rule the damn galaxy

Oh yeah, couldn't help but notice the fish and pig people white males. All over the place!
You suck at paying attention.

So... We're talking syntax over different species vs Caucasian? This is ridiculous
