    It's the same P R E S T I G E T V like treatment that Luke Skywalker got in Last Jedi. "Oh no, I sense the dark side, I am angry and afraid, and I am trying to murder someone in fear and anger... again! Character development only counts of it subverts expectations and undoes prior character development! Your Snoke Theory Sucks(tm)!" smuglord

      I dislike Last Jedi because it was poorly written slop, you hate it because it's woke

      we-are-not-the-same

      Which makes the discourse around the movies (and star trek and etc etc.) unbearable cause it's hard to criticize them without getting lumped in with the chuds, and you can't defend the more diverse casting, etc., without having the same chuds descend upon ye

        It really is hard to express dislike for Disney Star Wars movies (especially TLJ for some reason) without that dislike being perceived as either pronouns or "clearly I am a stupid dumb person because I didn't clap like a seal when my expections were subverted over and over."

        The last Jedi was such a massive disappointment for me. Was actually looking forward to it. Thought they might actually take it into a new direction. It was instead one of the worst films I've ever watched.

      Also they made a race of slave Data knockoffs and then the Romulans did a space 9/11 so they genocided the slaves

        "Measure of a Man" and its legal precedent was completely eradicated because of a decades-late Space 9/11 rehash, all for some tiresome "robot people scary" Mass Effect bullshit that lead to Wish Dot Com Reapers threatening to come out of space glory holes.

        Fuck you, Kurtzman. Fuck you very much.
