Are manbabies still whinging on about the last jedi? I thought Disney redeemed themselves with slop like Obi
Nobody really talks about it in my circle of manbabies because it's been too long, but the general consensus is that TLJ and Obi-Wan were bad.
Oh, the last I paid attention to disney and sw was last summer when I was in rehab and some of the guys were excited for that show.
I recently watched Obiwan and it was pretty mid. The storyline seemed like a string of extremely convenient events to keep things chugging along.
2009Trek set the bar so low for event believability that pretty much anything else is somewhat more bearable.
Time for an screaming slapfight between Zachary Quinto and Chris Pine with Dutch angles and shakey cam which leads to Chris Pine being banished in a fortunately timed way to a moon that has two distinctly different living Macguffins within walking distance of each other, one of them having the means to instantly un-banish Chris Pine with convenience and speed that make the starships in the setting obsolete because Abrams likes to break every toy he borrows. :galaxy-brain:
Unless you just like poorly planned and badly constructed schlock, TLJ was not a 'good' movie. It's what made me stop watching Disney entirely because it's pretty clear they don't use any kind of writers road map for the movies outside of what they can crib from Marvel comics, so there is zero reason to get invested in the story.
That being said, Jedi:Survivor's story has actually slapped so far (at least as far as vg stories can slap).
But expectations(r) were subverted(tm) and :frothingfash: didn't like purple hair feeemale therefore the smart and smug response is to like TLJ to own the haters. :very-intelligent:
The sequel trilogy was poor quality because they had multiple writers wrestling over the direction of the plot and desperately trying to hammer Palpatine shaped pegs into square holes, yet the amateur critics could only see the most shallow issues with it because they have no critical thinking skills.
Hot take: the entire Canto Bight sequence feels like it wanted to be one episode of a Star Wars miniseries, and now that we have all these series on streaming services we have a chance to see a focused, competent Star Wars movie again.
Chuds can imagine an entire galaxy full of aliens but a woman with purple hair is just not believable.
