When asked for comment amid the numerous thinkpieces over their feeling marginalized due to outsourcing and automation, the workers of the Rust Belt were curiously unavailable for comment. This may likely be due to the gurgling from their throats as the President-Elect twisted the knife in their collective backs…

Zack Snyder?

Did the movies ever actually address Darth Plagues's species? Or is that also a matter of supplemental material?

Boycott suggests that Dinesh D'Souza's movies actually had any general appeal. They're like PureFlix movies - even if they convince themselves they're shooting for that general audience, their primary function is to preach to the choir and reinforce their opinions, regardless of how factually unsound they may be.

The trick for them to is to stop RotJ before the last ten minutes when Anakin is revealed to be Whitey McWhiterson.

It was one of those things I didn't think as much of when I was younger.
In later years though…wow…
Especially when the British sweep in to save the day at the end. That…yeah…I acknowledge the serial throwback, but still…Jesus fuck, Spielberg and Lucas.

This is one of those where they're gonna pitch a shit-fit no matter what happens.
The First Order in TFA was pretty diverse as aspects of the Empire go, with POC and female officers making up their ranks along with the classic white British guys (said British guys being a rule that was established in the OT with none…

And then enter the thinkpieces for 'Half of America could pay to make this a box office hit but couldn't be assed to go out and vote?'

They were patting themselves on the back for (what they saw as) striking a financial blow against a movie that went on to rival Avatar in box office returns. The stupidity factor goes without saying at this point.

Oh, big time.
I really, really, REALLY wanted that movie to be good…but holy shit, when you start finding ways they could have made the movie better before you're even finished watching it the first time, something MIGHT be wrong.

BUT TALKING RACOONS AND TREES, GUYS!
LET'S SEE DC DO THAT!

This is one of those casting bits that irks the ever-loving Hell out of me.
Fishburne's a damn good actor. On paper, the idea of him as Perry White is a great move (and sounds even better after seeing what he did with Jack Crawford on Hannibal).

Unfortunately, Fox said no, so WB had to make due with a CG-animated ball of feces.

Looks like Maguire gets to keep the top bunk in the Parker family poor house then.

Don't forget the fact he's now got that sweet Tony Stark financial support on his side as well.

Drive faster, Spider-Man! Spider-Man's gaining on us!

Them, people who make fan films, and enthusiasts of dark'n'edgy reboots.

Mobile Suit Gundam ran on a similar premise.
Earth gets over populated, there's a big push into colonies. The elites hang back and let all the poor get dumped into the colonies first…then just stick around on Earth going "Nah, we're good."

I left the Porsche keys inside Mrs. Glick!

I'd say it was a mix of casting and the fact it set up more issues than it was willing to tackle. Overpopulation, resource strain, disease? All good to run with.
But then making it all about getting to the healing technology presents problems when you think about the ending.
Sure, now everyone won't be getting sick, but…
