Comparing it to some of the most beloved sci-fi movies

I was under the impression that this started as a licensed Star Wars story that Disney passed on.

The film’s first act subjects viewers to an extended sequence of Imperium soldiers attempting to rape a villager, a scene that serves no other purpose than making explicitly clear to the audience that the authoritarian military occupiers are, in fact, bad guys.

Honest to god, people forget what made the original star wars interesting. Luke, the backwater farm boy is a stand in for a naive audience unfamiliar with the world he is about to enter. Think about the first time Obi-Wan trails about Anakin. He says the absolute barest minimum about him, the Clone Wars, all that.

Kind like how Guy Fieri is supposed to be a really good guy, but his TV persona is tiresome.

Those sound like great MST3k episodes

Other future Snyder franchises:

I mean, dunking on your worst fans is one thing, but continuing to make material that panders directly to what those fans want kind of undercuts said dunking.

I look forward to Zack Snyder’s Crusade of the Lost Temple - Part One: The Ark of Doom.

To be fair, the music the band’s playing being called jizz makes more sense in that context.

This ain’t your granddad’s Battle Beyond The Stars!

But-but the “Star Wars cantina” scene is set in a brothel! What better illustration of Zac Snyder’s deconstructive genius could anyone possibly need?!

the least popular of a 22-film franchise

Furthermore, Oliver’s conclusion is while making the episode he was impressed by what Musk had achieved while also being horrified at how much people are relying on him. And fair enough.

that’s easy, up until the moment Oliver said the first non-worshipful thing about Elon Musk

I’m kinda curious when he thought Oliver wasn’t “woke”.

If that’s the “sole purpose” of this article, then the final paragraph of this article blatantly contradicts that:

Wonka also pulled in its dollars despite the fact movie musicals are on the outs nowadays
