Tried of people acting like the new star wars movie is under-preforming because people are bigots or whatever instead of that it sucks.

It doesn't suck. It's good as shit. People who think it sucks would probably have hated Empire in 1980, and for basically the same reasons.

There's two people who hate it - bigots, and people who have legitimate grievances with it. Same with any movie, really.

I personally liked it a great deal.

I actually liked it a lot more than TFA, which I enjoyed at the time but doessn't hold up to a rewatch particularly well, IMO. My biggest issues with the story were holdovers from TFA, and I thought TLJ did as well with those issues as could be expected. And kudos to them for making Kylo Ren 1) ditch his stupid Vader cosplay mask and 2) stop acting like an emo 14-year-old for at least part of the movie. Oh, and the Space!Morocco subplot could have been edited down to about a third of its final length without losing anything, but it was hardly the most egregious self-indulgence to show up in a Star Wars movie, so whatever.

By what definition is it under-performing?

Re: Unpopular opinions

(Anonymous) 2017-12-23 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
It's underperforming compared to TFA - it's about $100 million short of where TFA was in its release cycle, I think.

I'm kind of surprised how polarizing it seems to be. It got decent reviews (a few reasonable critiques among the praises) but it seems people either love it, or they are butthurt as fuck about it.

I think the movie did a lot of things really well, though was a bit too long and some parts could have been condensed or written a little bit better (the Rose/Finn stuff comes to mind). But the really controversial bit was how they portrayed Luke Skywalker. I didn't quite buy the portrayal either, to be honest, but his plot was one of the more intriguing parts of the movie so oh well.

I think a lot of the haters online ARE bigots and are quite open about it. "SJWs ruined Star Wars!" and random bitching about there being too many women and non-white characters. But I can also see how the writing wasn't necessarily extraordinary and if you didn't like how the plot progressed, you definitely would not be a fan of the film.

But the new Star Wars is not "under-performing".

YUP.

I had a co-worker from my sister team come up to me last night, some one I don't really talk to often and he told me he hated it.

Actually, his exact words were "Between you and me? Star Wars can go to hell." He was PISSED.

In the same vein, I can't stand how a lot of people pretend that there are no valid points of ciriticism for the movie and everyone who doesn't like it is just some dumb angry nerd whose headcanon or ship didn't come true. Especially if they also go all condescending "Well you just didn't GET it" on anyone who didn't like it/aspects of it.
It was not very well written in a lot of parts. There were some serious problems in logic, pacing, character development and continuity. I didn't hate it, but it also could have been so much better.

I loved TLA and thought it was better than TFA. I'd place TLA as number 4 on my list of Star Wars movies after Return of the Jedi, Empire Strikes Back, and Rogue One.

I thought it was good fun, but I'm also a very casual Star Wars watcher so I don't have Opinions on how things should be or whatever.

I'm here for the laser-swords and force powers, and the characters are likable enough.

People would be a lot happier at Christmas if we didn't have a picture perfect, Rockefeller, commercially-driven version of it in our heads.

Like, there's a reason we have movies like It's a Wonderful Life, to which the moral is pretty much "your life sucks but look bud, your friends just raised money for you." I don't even really like that movie, but I acknowledge we have to be thankful for what's nice about the holiday.

I think people would be a lot happier if there wasn't all the Oct and Nov. whining about how awful it is that people celebrate too early, too early, don't celebrate yet, it's not Christmas.

Because of work, if I don't get any decorating done early Nov. it's not happening. But everyone's all whine whine whine.

Last year in late Oct I asked an employee if they had any black artificial Christmas trees and he laughed at me and teased me that he didn't know if he could sell me one before Nov. First of all, fuck you it's a black tree it's for a Halloween display. Second, fuck you with the judgemental bullshit I can buy a dang tree anytime I want.

I really liked that Rey was not the product of some special Force Lineage, because I always felt the 'breeding a superior race of Force Users is possible' canon was creepy as hell. And kind of eugenics-y.

I really, really like them outright saying that Force sensitivity can manifest in anyone, no matter if you have superior genetics or not. And I really hope they don't screw that up in the third movie and go back to breeding for special powers.

I really, really don't care about anyone else's oppinion on any Star Wars film, season of Doctor Who, or Marvel thing.

Chances are, if I've seen it, I enjoyed it. End of. Take your wank someplace else.
