the Last Jedi wasn’t very good

the last jedi wasn't very good for reasons completely unrelated to Incel complaints. The story arc was pretty weak. There was no reveal around snoke - there should have been. The whole attempt to get Luke to come back was so overdone. The fight scene between luke and Kylo Ren was craptastic.

I don't think adam driver is a particularly compelling bad guy either.

You had my upvote at “pussy slaying”.





And when did Star Wars fans start getting labeled as incels? Because that term doesn’t pertain to the typical 40-50 year old die hard Star Wars fan. That’s totally a millennial thing.

Critics: "The Last Jedi makes little to no sense. Luke Skywalker departs completely from the character established over decades, the antagonist is killed off with no purpose, there is no character development of the protagonist, the final peak violates every established rule of the Star Wars universe, and the supporting characters and plots have no place in the overall arc, are poorly written, and have no established development or motivations"


Completely agree with this, but those boycotting Solo. Not just not seeing it, but boycotting it over the fact they had a female lead, and the bad guy is a white dude. Incels.

The backlash among Star Wars fans for TLJ was huge. I get that most people maybe didn't follow it but Star Wars' record profits aren't due to casual fans/viewings. They are due to repeat viewings by the hardcores. This was the group alienated by Disney and TLJ.

Screw that

Assess where you are currently before episode 9.

Hell, I wouldn't object if JJ Abrams re-made episode 8.

He can't be talking about TLJ because the exact same things were true in TFA

Good.

The standalone movies have merit but were too frequent.

Giving the unproven writers and directors control over films is like giving kids with learners permits the keys to a Bugatti. It may end well but you probably have some severe damage or total it.

Read the first two pages again. There was a whole thread about boycotting the movie over SJW issues.




Its fricking retarded.

I didn't go see Solo b.c a) I was busy b) TLJ wasn't very good. I think Disney is way over-saturated, which I put in the post you replied to.

I guess we agree?

you do realize that that statement doesnt say that Johnson will be doing these films.....they were referenced the characters from his film.


I guess it could be semantics, but I am going consider this trilogy his films.

Rian Johnson will indeed produce all three movies, and Bergman confirms again that it’s in the (very) early stages of development — where at the earliest, production for film numero uno would likely begin about two years from now.

No Obi-Wan or Boba Fett movie and no sequel to Solo, but we'll still get the Rian Johnson trilogy. Winning.

Good work.

I don’t even know what incel means but I’m an original Star Wars fan....which means I’m 46, married with two kids, live in the suburbs and hope to retire when I’m 60.

He must be thinking of fans of those Maze movies or something...

The fact that so much discussion about TLJ focuses on the SJW stuff is infuriating. That movie sucked on so many levels that needed to be called out.

Kylo Ren is easily the best thing this new trilogy has going for it. Which may not saying a lot, but it is the truth.
