TLJ is my pet peeve in the same manner of Synder’s Justice League.

Not to say that The Last Jedi is as near-perfect as those three films
Just chiming in on this fight to say that I will never, ever understand why TLJ gets so many folks in their feelings.
It was a brief summation because writing about all the problems of TLJ would take way tooo long.
“he actively went out of his way to undo things Johnson set up or introduced”
The Last Jedi is the cool guy at the party who is really stylishly dressed and looks like he has shit together. Then you talk to him and you realized that he is a pompous dipshit with a college freshman’s understanding of dramatic structure and tension.
The Last Jedi really did Finn dirty. He’s reintroduced with a leaky diaper gag, replays his emotional arc from The Force Awakens, and has his agency questioned and denied at every turn. I can see why it would come in last in Boyega’s personal ranking. Despite all that, he put in a real solid performance in all three…
The Last Jedi is a poor man’s Battlestar Galactica crossed with a poor man’s Lord of War.
Then cancel. It’s easy. Netflix is not a necessity. If it’s as bad as you say, why did 6 million more people decide they needed Netflix?
I can understand arguing in favor of, for example, allowing a child going off to college to share a password without additional charge to the account, but the general vibe I get from these articles is “how dare they crack down on any password sharing with anyone??!?” Netflix is a huge corporation driven by the…
How dare Netflix make customers pay to watch their content?
Right? Like the Arbiter missions were actually good, because you get another side of the story rather than Aliens = bad. Duel wielding was fun, you finally get to use the energy sword, and that sweet sweet online multiplayer. The only thing I will say is the OG Halo ending was the most chilling of the series. After an…
After having grudgingly finished Season 3 and really disliking pretty much everything about it, I’ve come to the conclusion that for me, Mando ended when Gideon blew up the Razor Crest.
Hard disagree on that Halo 2 take. Not only is that cliffhanger ending earned and eventually paid off, calling Halo 2's campaign truncated or shortened is a fabrication. There are more campaign levels and it takes approximately the same length of time to finish as the first game, maybe longer. I also think it’s a…
I love the design of the N-1 but I think it really only works as a Naboo ship. It looks pretty and dainty, perfect as part of a royal escort, but not as a true war figher.
George Lucas in preproduction: “Star Wars takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, so it wouldn’t make sense if everything is written in English. Here is one of several alien alphabets and letters I’ve invented that the characters and aliens in Star Wars would use.”
Why is Red Dead Redemption, possibly the greatest video game ending of all time, not here?

I think the A-Wing is a fantastic design but I personally feel like it’s only iconic when placed in context of the other fighters in the fleet. Specifically, I think it’s a great “sequel movie ship” along with the B-Wing: one’s smaller, sleeker, and faster than the X-Wing, the other’s bigger, weirder, and slower.
