You’re trying too hard

I’m disappointed, but not surprised.

It was adopted instead of a simple popular vote, which would be the most legitimate and democratic way to elect a president, because the framers of the constitution knew that the slave states would not want a popular vote. It has always been a way to subvert democracy. Post-hoc rationalisations about how it gives all…

I think it was meant to be more of a mentorship thing, an attempt to replicate the gruff connection Han had with Rey. But that took time to develop - this is just the screenwriter putting two black characters together and hoping something happens, as far as I can see. 

But it was still enormous and consequently unwieldy, with the implication of a linear relationship between its size and its destructive power, right?

Wasn’t it a kind of established principle in this world that in order to blow up a planet, the weapon you were using needed to have a lot of weight, a lot of material investment, etc? Like, it was a double-edged sword where you could get a lot of firepower but also put all your eggs in one basket, and create something…

This is a really weird take considering how much this movie actually tries to backpedal from the developments of TLJ and go back to the mediocre, nostalgia-baiting retread approach of TFA. It even symbolically rejects a central development for Kylo - smashing his helmet - by having him re-forge it. Instead of…

No, it isn’t

Yeah I’m really confused by the “antihero” designation 

You’ve got to love a staff of music critics who can find room for Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey on this list but leave off Igor.

I definitely found this contrived for the same reason. Mando is way too experienced and resourceful to make that kind of ridiculous mistake. 

I’ve just seen it, and Dowd is actually underselling how bad it is.

Triple Frontier got interesting once it became a kind of absurd parable about the futility of trying to accumulate riches when you can’t take them with you. 

John Wick 3 was where the unnecessary attempts to flesh out the fictional world of the franchise resulted in it becoming too self-serious, overly elaborate, and stupid to still be likable, for me. Plus, the energizer-bunny nature of John Wick begins to conflict with the film’s efforts to make his injuries seem…

The electoral college is bullshit. 

Yes, that would be good.

A useful term for you is “fucking idiot”. 

>If The Mandalorian gets to be on the list

Drop Watchmen off the list altogether. Put Chernobyl way higher. The Good Place can be on the list but it should definitely be lower, The Mandalorian - while fun - just should not be on the list.

Lots of Musk fellaters in the comments here. World needs a cull.
