Seriously, anyone who STILL gets upset about Oscar noms and winners really needs to internalize who they are in this strip:

Why is it treated like some kind of surprise every year that the OSCARS fucking suck?

The Dark Knight died a hero, while Joker lived long enough to get a nomination.

I sincerely think Green Book won as a means for some Academy Voters to spite the #OscarsSoWhite crowd.

No I think they’re saying that it’s harder to empathize with people who spent their career pointedly not empathizing with others.

But pretty much everybody in it is enormously famous.

Yeah, seriously, it is weird that in the same movie with the powerful message of “they’re just people” regarding the fleet that destroys the final order, the same creative voices don’t get why people might like to see that same sort of idea extended to the main characters. 

You sound super invested in this projection of Rian Johnson you’ve created.

The love thing would be at least a little interesting. Who cares if Finn is force sensitive at this point?

It really feels like he was playing it like he wanted to tell her he loved her.  Maybe they changed their mind at some point?  (Like when Rey can’t accept Luke’s lightsaber but then does two minutes later.)

The head games are what make him such a dreamy boyfriend!

It was my absolute favourite part of TLJ, a movie I really loved, and I just had to watch and sigh as it got Thanos snapped out of the story.

This is maybe my biggest gripe with the new trilogy. A galaxy far, far away with all these star systems (think about that for a second!) alien races and factions... and somehow we’re still stuck in the same old prime time soap opera trope of everyone somehow being related to each other. I was so refreshed to hear…

Of course, she’s his daughter. Because apparently in a massive galaxy you only matter if you’re related to a Skywalker or someone Skywalker adjacent.

“Nope.” - everyone

Not necessarily; have you ever heard the Tragedy of Darth Plagueius the Wise?

Oh the dog whistling.

I liked TFA, and disliked TLJ after the first viewing, but after rewatching both of them, TLJ has risen in my appreciation while TFA has diminished. I feel like TLJ will hold up a lot better to repeat viewings, perhaps not as much as the OT but a lot more than the prequels.

He definitely had a vision. He just didn’t have your vision. Get over it.

It’s interesting how much I agree with Johnson, and like his approach and attitude - and even his other movies, from what I’ve seen - but still didn’t enjoy “The Last Jedi.” I admire his big swing, and I love a few parts (pretty much everything with Rey and Kylo), but I wish I could point to it as a counter-example to…
