I stopped at “Rian Johnson’s complex, complicated middle chapter”.

The problem is that TLJ’s writing sucked so bad. And that was all Rian Johnson’s work there. He went lazy with Luke, he needed luke to be out of the way so Rey could take over the heroes journey. Rather than let Luke be a person who completed his journey and be a real mentor on the new Journey for Rey, Rian just…

the only good handling of the revelation of the Clark-Superman secret that I can recall

Coincidence?

Stop giving these people your money. Stop preordering. Stop paying for broken games. Stop the belief that “It’s good enough.” is accecptable. No one expects perfection, but this is some grade A bullshit.
