You should learn what plotlines are. Easy to look up with search engines these days. I wouldn’t say ANY of them are “fine.” Some are downright awful and many are so arbitrarily “subversive” as to be painfully contrived.

Imagine what Johnson would think of you for that comment. All over a guy’s opinion on movies.

Kind of an ironic comment, considering you didn’t “list” any examples in your comment, as if that’s some sort of requirement. There ARE plenty of legitimate complaints about TLJ, all you have to do is read the negative reviews to see different plot points, characters, humor, etc that people didn’t enjoy. 

“Deconstruction”? Do you know what that word means? It was no more complex than your average episode of BSG.

It’s arguable that there isn’t even a single compelling, funny or interesting moment in the entire Rose plotline. The casino section is just painful. Easily the worst scenes in the entire Star Wars saga, outside of Jar Jar.

Jesus. How young is the boy that is writing these trollish little manifestos?

Uh oh! Nothing scarier than a bunch of angry National Socialists. Y’all haven’t changed a bit since a decade ago...

Depends on the sort of story, Skippy. If all you’re reading is “visceral” fiction, you should expand your horizons.

Dude, you’re trying wayyyy to hard.

Sounds like you’re trying to reason with a kid who’s only understanding of the 90's is reading some blog posts from kids who never even lived in the 90's. He’ll never understand. You’re speaking from experience, he’s speaking from a strange fantasy he’s put together in his mind.

Hip hop was HUGE in white suburbs. Had absolutely nothing to do with a context of skin color at all, nor did you need official hip-hop fans to appreciate it.

If after decades of anticipation, seeing Luke Skywalker tossing the lightsaber over his shoulder so some cute Porgs could hop around it, or a 30 minute detour to give us a heavy-handed lesson about freeing space horses is your idea of a “deconstruction”, you may be more guilty of being a “dudebro” that that boogeyman…

It’s silly to suggest such a contrived and controversial mess was a terrific movie. It’s debatable that it’s even GOOD. Heck, I’ve watched it 1 1/2 times. That was plenty.

This is such a wildly strange take, I hope you get some perspective on the world outside of your computer/social media.

Oh, gods, the new Ghostbusters is so terrible. I love Kate McKinnon but she just looks lost in the movie. They really didn’t give her much to do. Makes you wonder how much of her scenes are just her improvising.

NO character in a video game is required “agency” (good gods, you probably need to let go of that word for a while) - male or female. You’re trying to make things about gender that aren’t there.

You’ve gotta be kidding me. This has nothing to do with “objectifying women” (whatever that even means) and more with you being uncomfortable seeing the physical form of the female body. Why do knee-jerk social conflict junkies have to try to turn everything into some sort of victimization?

The “body language” you’re trying to read honestly just may be a picture that was taken of them in the middle of a discussion.

I must say it IS a strange time to argue about gender rights... We hear so much about the wage gap (which there are PLENTY of explanations for), but we NEVER hear much about the death gap.

It’s not insulting at all, and yes, animals/insects are referred to as ripe when about to lay eggs. You also say a fruit is ripe when it’s ready.
