Yeah, I thought the bloody hand on his helmet scene was a great way to show trauma of the stormtroopers.
Then Poe had the "do I talk?" line and I was like oh.. that just got all the tension of what really should be a tense scene to establish Ren as the big bad. I'm thinking, maybe he's the funny guy? Then Finn escapes with him and they're "wow, this is happening!"ing and he murders the people he was just mourning watching die and everyone's the funny guy.
Finn was an abducted child soldier, and that plays approximately zero role in his characterization ever again
it's a shame that Whedon was so successful because Buffy and Dr Horrible were genuinely refreshing when they were made quip based media is only suitable for a garnish not a staple food though
Oh it's bad, but at least there were some promising ideas among the shit, like Rey being a commoner, using FTL tavern in creative ways, or critiquing the Jedi order.
I was sitting in a theater in December 2015. I had been waiting for months with bated breath to see my slop. I had driven some distance from where I live to see the film in IMAX for some reason. And it was at this moment, no more than five minutes into the film, that I realized the entire Disney Star Wars project was going to be a complete wash.
I read most of the shit books they put out leading up to the movie. I read most of the shit comics.
But Rogue One was decent. Kinda.
Then, December 2017. I had been waiting for months with bated breath to see my slop. I had driven some distance from where I live to see the film in IMAX for some reason. The visionary auteur Rion Johnson was going to single-handedly save Star Wars from the hacks and the fools who made TFA. The movie opens with a 'yo momma' joke and I realize at this moment, one minute into the film, that the entire Disney Star Wars project was going to be a complete wash.
In a somewhat disappointing epilogue to this story I saw Solo under duress when a friend asked me to go. It was a bad movie, but I didn't care.

But that would be empathetic storytelling. It could've been so good...
But instead we got quips and one-liners.

Buffy is a stereotyped Valley Girl from LA. That's just how the media pretended teenagers from LA talked. It actually worked diegeticly for that show.
People on this website try to stan the Last Jedi, but they literally opened with a "your mama" joke.

It just shit the bed in so many other ways.
THEY FLY NOW?

Marvel capeshit and it's consequences have been a disaster for popular cinema
