re: Watched The Last Jedi. I don't get the vitriol.

Here are my thoughts from watching TLJ for the first time since seeing it in the theatre...
Not a bad movie, but a bad Star Wars movie.
I wish they had Luke wanting to train Rey from the beginning, wanting to redeem his screw up with Ben.
Let Leia die, have Poe take her place redeeming himself, have Akbar perform the kamikaze mission.
Shorten the casino mission, make Lando the code breaker that they find in the casino, they don’t go to jail.
Rose sacrifices herself to destroy the cannon, just like her sister sacrificed herself to destroy the Dreadnaught.
Don’t have Snoke die, rework that some how.
I liked the force connection between Rey/Ben, I liked Yoda, I liked Luke’s force projection because it showed how badass of a Jedi he is but don’t have that kill him.
Agree 100%. I just watched TLJ again today. It’s really close to being a great movie. Just these plot points that aren’t good.
I’m not even talking about any SJW stuff which is really negligible to me.

I only liked 3 things in that movie. The first scene, Red Guard fight scene, and Yoda telling Luke “Missed you I have”.

The entire sub plot was railing against capitalism, animal cruelty, and slavery.
I may be wrong.... but it seems like you are saying you're ok with animal cruelty and slavery?

The worst part about The Last Jedi is the need for a dumb arse childish joke every 5 minutes like they do in the superhero movies. It was almost insulting how childish, poorly timed, and unnecessary the humor was.

If it serves the film/story, yes.
Schindler's list would have been boring without the camps.

The Empire did nothing wrong. You can support terrorism if you want, but I stand on the side of stability and order.

all you nerds seem to forget that all star wars movies suck dick if you really think about it

Your mom sucks dick if you really think about it.

So what's your problem with him tossing it away?
Because it’s stupid and snarky. I assume it’s supposed to be a message that we’re taking anything rom the old trilogy and tossing it aside. Luke didn’t have to go Gaga for it, he could have handed it back and said he didn’t want it

no wonder she didn't move around a lot

Then it's a problem of understanding, and not experience.
Leia was a standard female trope for the 70's. She even pitches a girly tantrum at the end (the whole incestual nerf herder scene).
All the heroes were men. All of them.
Leia gets captured and then lets men do all the fighting from there on.

Go back and watch it again. Or recite it to yourself or whatever...

Explain this trope.
And the nerf herder scene was in Hoth, in the beginning of ESB.
