Given how he treats his characters, that assessment isn’t too far from the mark.

For me, what’s enjoyable about the movie is the ridiculous “superheroes” and how much they suck - a man who gets angry and doesn’t transform or anything, a guy who throws forks, and a guy with a shovel. Like, that’s the main trio and they add a guy who can fart, a guy who can become invisible when nobody is watching,…

THANK YOU!

The other bizarre thing about that complaint was the sheer psychological immaturity of it. If you’re genuinely incensed by the idea that a man in his sixties might be very different from the same man in his twenties you are either a child, or have the mind of one.

I have this theory that the split over Luke is akin to the differences between the storytelling styles of DC and Marvel - the Gods among men vs the regular people with extraordinary abilities.

100% agreed, and it’s true even before he’s ever revealed in The Force Awakens: Luke’s Jedi instruction was entirely from two former Jedi who had voluntarily exiled themselves after making catastrophic errors in supposed service to the Force - of course he’s going to follow in their footsteps! I never understood…

In a film full of bad leaders, Luke was the only one who realized his limitations and folded his hand when he should have.

Well said. One (of many) of the stupid-ass arguments that drives me nuts is, “LUKE TRIED TO KILL HIS NEPHEW! WHAA?!”

I loved the fact that Luke had gotten crotchety and sarcastic in his old age (and come by it honestly, too). The whole notion that he should act exactly the same way when he’s 60 as he did when he was 25 is ridiculous.

I think the idea of “Badass Luke” is a consequence of the Legends EU. Where a lot of the pacifist elements of Luke are slowly weeded out to the point where it’s all lightsabers and badass force powers.

Whatever else the movie did wrong, the idea of ‘TLJ ruining Luke’ from ‘hardcore’ fans is the most hilarious misunderstanding of Star Wars characters, lore and philosophy they could muster.

Cruelty is a core GQP value.

The cruelty’s a feature, not a bug, for the GOP.  

Don’t we already live in a corporate dystopia? Feels like one to me. For several decades now.

Which leads me to believe this dude is probably an asshole all the time (I mean, it’s obvious). I’ve hungout at the airport bar for three hours before and managed to get on a plane after 7 beers without any issues.

It gets his name in the news, that is pretty much 90% of their platform. The other 10% is to just be anti whatever Democrats want.

I just love that pointing out the ways systemic racism and inequality have and continue to affect the lives of so many people (myself included) has been equated to fostering division.

You don’t want trains anyway. They are a money suck. Impressive, but a sinkhole of 150 years of outdated union rules and regulations.

I would like you to stand in front of all of the families in Detroit (and all the other cities) that made the world move, made the economy rebound after multiple wars, and built economies around it.

Something tells me this is an “If I can’t enjoy myself, NOBODY gets to enjoy themselves” kind of dad.
