Basically: the guy is an incredibly condescending person who has not made a secret of his disdain for the fandom and parts of the franchise. Most of the "innovative twists" he included are smug ways to intentionally piss of a certain group of fans or lazy "bet you didn't expect THIS" gotchas. He absolutely thinks he's the smartest person in the room but unfortunately doesn't live up to his own pedestal.

I think this is 90% just you (and fans like you) not liking the guy's style and getting a massive complex about it where you take everything he does as an insult.

Yeah gotta agree with this one. I think upset fans are reading way into it.

(Anonymous) 2024-09-08 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Except he has said in the past that he strives to make movies that half the audience will hate. It's his MO, by his own admission. And his style IS always incredibly smug, which is something you either hate or like but it's still his style.

da

But seriously, this.

I definitely don't agree that Rian Johnson's style, in general, is smug.

Honestly, I'm not even sure a director's style of filmmaking can even *be* smug.

(Anonymous) 2024-09-09 01:26 pm (UTC)(link)
He basically said stuff like this himself so... I'll believe him.

(Anonymous) 2024-09-09 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Agreed.

I personally think it's geeks being petty and jealous that a fellow geek's opinions and ideas don't align with theirs, and just because Rian Johnson got to canonize his ideas the jealousy became unbearable to the point that the SW fans went full on hate mode with their gatekeeping.

"Rian Johnson is rich smug Hollywood hack! I'm not jealous that a Star Wars fan got to make a Star Wars film (and how dare he not get the exact same experience and have the same opinions I have about Star Wars)!"

Aaand here we go again - personal attacks towards anyone who doesn't agree with YOUR opinion. Yes, yes, everyone who thinks his movie sucked is just a bitter fat cheeto fingered fanboy incel, we get it.

It's entirely possible to dislike or even hate TLJ without thinking that Rian Johnson is personally smug and condescending and that his smug condescending dislike for the fandom permeates the movie.

(Anonymous) 2024-09-09 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
But it does.

(Anonymous) 2024-09-09 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
That's ridiculous. He's been nothing but kind and patient with this godawful fanbase. The only person that he has actually expressed negative reactions to is Doomcock.

(Anonymous) 2024-09-09 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Lol no

(Anonymous) 2024-09-09 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Lmao the SW fandom is the worst I've ever been part of. I wish Rian Johnson hated the awful "fans" and publicly insulted them, but it's just not true.

( sabrina carpenter voice ) holy shit
