TLJ elicits this weird contrarianism where people hype it up as good and clever because it does something different from the usual Star Wars movies, but actually it's just dogshit from beginning to end and all tropes are subverted in the laziest, most nonsensical ways possible.
I remember someone doing a quick review of the space battle in the opening scene where they pointed out that a small change in the First Order's formation or a change in the dreadnought's first target would've ended the movie right then and there with the Resistance crushed, followed by pointing out that the video author could've made the same argument for about half the movie with ease. The plot literally only works if every single person in the movie grabs hold of the Idiot Ball from the title sequence onwards.
Edit: As if to prove my point, here's a thread full of people going "IT'S THE ONLY GUD STAR WARS MOVIE!!!1" as if tESB isn't sitting right there being better in every way.
It’s literally people just being contrarian about the initial contrarianism… the chuds who blamed “disnay sjws wokescold boss-moms” for it not fufilling their weird fantasies should all be shot, but that doesn’t mean TLJ was a good movie.
