Imagine being so emotionally invested in star wars box office, that it actually hurts your feelings when the movie underperforms.

since I bought my PS4 slim more than half of my error log is because of that piece of shit 76.
If that fucking game was a car Ralph Nader would be leading a angry mob to burn the factory down like it was a Mary Shelley book.
last night it blue screened my PS4 3 times in 20mins, just sitting in my base looking at my cool shit, It finally worked then the server went down because someone crashed it on purpose to duplicate their items.

Nerds secretly like it when a fandom starts to lose mass appeal. Once the normies leave the True Fans are left alone. They get to brag to each other how loyal they really are to their obsession.

To this day I believe that the goal of every obsessive fan is to ruin what they obsess over until they're the only one left who likes it, so they can "win" the Who Loves it Most contest.
You see this shit all the time with MAH VIDEO GAMES.
People know the constant circle jerk about Witcher 3 drives people away. That is the point. Its also why you see losers play wow 24/7 and go on multi-year long hate fests of the game and how terrible it is.
They desperately want everyone else to quit so they can win.
1 NotchDidNothingWrong 2019-01-04
The problem is the Star Wars fandom is 100% normie, take that away and there's nothing.
1 Earl_of_Grab 2019-01-04
True. You still have the turbonerds who dress up and go to conventions and collect all the toys though. I knew a guy who invented a whole new character to fit into the storylines. Spend $100's, likely $1000's on his constume and everything.

He has good points but I think he is a bit harsh. He's probably more referring to the kind of people you saw in the Trekkies documentary, ones that let their fandom consume their whole life. One lady wore her TNG uniform to work, it was just way-way too important to her.
I went to a few conventions as a teenager, it's actually kind of fun especially if you go to panels. I went right around the time that Arkham City was coming out and got to meet Kevin Conroy, the VA for Batman, so that was extremely cool. When I was like 16 I had to do a video documentary project for school so I emailed the people running the Dallas con and got a press pass which let me in everywhere free, that was fun too. But I've never cosplayed or anything like that.
Some people definitely take it too far but that happens with everything.

I grew up with SW. I'm a fan but not a fan fan. I don't own any Star Wars merch or read many of the EU books or watched any of the shows or anything like that but I've seen the OT dozens of times over. I still felt pretty insulted by TLJ. Well made movie with awful storytelling that was kind of a giant middle finger to Star Wars and it's fans. I dunno.
1 Grumpy_Kong 2019-01-04
Everyone underestimates the power of myth.
Entire nations have literally gone to war over myth.
Star Wars is modern day myth.
It's not surprising so many people are so invested in it.
Remember all those Avatar fans that got suicidal because Pandora wasn't real? And how some of them thought they'd 'reincarnate' as a Naavi after their death? Yeah that was just 1 movie.
Star Wars is a motherfucking cultural icon.
Movies are modern myth. Just as powerful.
1 TheSomaCruz 2019-01-04
I remember a time when I was obsessed with Star Wars and Superheroes. The thing was that I was 7 years old at the time, that was normal, I didn't know anything else, and my teenage years began with super gritty entertainment that started with Cowboy Bebop and ended in Berserk.
​
Even being some average teenager, I had no idea I was more mature in comparison to someone.
1 NotchDidNothingWrong 2019-01-04
I'm unhealthy obsessed with varies pieces of media but even I'm above being in the Star Cult. Like, I get being eccentric about Star Trek because there's stuff to be into.
But Star Wars? Whole thing boils down to "Space Wizards vs Space Nazis". It's honestly one of the shittiest moral backdrops I've seen in a movie. I get it's just supposed to be a stupid action movie and not exactly the ethics debate of the century but it really pushes it.
There's so many good sci-fi movies out there where stuff actually happens but for some reason this generic garble is now considered the God of movies.

That sub at one point had lots of oc content that actually made fun of dumb shit r/movies, r/truefilm and r/moviedetails were known for.
After last jedi, you can just notice a severe influx of r/starwars users who jumped at the movie's expense. It's funny that now those braindead mods want to change it up after a year of their sub being mainly an offbrand of r/starwars whiteknights.

In general I like to see Disney fail. They have a seriously unhealthy level of domination in the movie industry, especially with the Fox deal.
1 MasterLawlz 2019-01-04
Yeah that’s my mentality too
Plus when was the last time Disney made a great movie in live action? Like EVER? They’ve made some great movies in animation but they their live action films are always decent at best with literally like three exceptions in the last 60 years.

It's a shame because it was once a great sub. It's been taken over by legbeards who seek validation for their social failures in appropriating Star Wars from male nerds.
1 MAMStoic 2019-01-04
They were better when they were parodying the euphoria of Nolan fans.
1 A7_AUDUBON 2019-01-04
The peak was when Interstellar was out. It was funny how many people thought completely unironically that it was the best film ever made. It was just too much.
Nolan stepped back a bit and then Marvel became the next target. Then somehow the same group of unwashed gAmER gurlz who believe culture wars to be the most important issue in progressive politics since civil rights came in. There's hints of the old days but its just another sub talking about women in media all of the time.
1 MAMStoic 2019-01-04
That sub used to have film buff/leftist types who knew better than to write essays for assembly line produced corporate toy commercials.Then it was slowly taken over by capeshitters who brought in the name of posting circlejerks brought their company wars stuff. I think the /uj/ /rj/ serious posting but still there was occasionally funny stuff.
Now the combo of idol types and star wars fans made it massive COPE meant to defend one of the niggers franchises of all time held by the biggest least creative studio in America.
1 Sarge_Ward 2019-01-04
But biggest of the leftist type twitter buffs (your Lindsay Ellises and such) literally all do this. I'm confused what your point is.
1 MAMStoic 2019-01-04
The leftist types who were initially at mcj loathed Disney and weren't "fanboys". Usually mocked people writing essays for capeshit.
I guess it depends there are some leftists to whom idpol is bigger than corporate hatred.
1 GeauxHouston22 2019-01-04
I thought it was a neat movie, with good effects and shit. but I also didn't have a religious experience when catwoman was like, "oh man love travels at the speed of time" or whatever
1 MAMStoic 2019-01-04
It was an enjoyable movie actually. The dialogue was a bit too cheesy in parts, other than that I would say it's better than most blockbusters that come out each year.
1 GeauxHouston22 2019-01-04
that exact description is how I feel about most of the Nolan movies
light, easy fun. he's good at developing a compelling story and giving a movie a unique style. those two things are like 90% of making a quality movie
1 MAMStoic 2019-01-04
Even Nolan describes himself as commercial filmmaker whose guiding principle is reaching a wide audience. It's his fans who give him a bad rep.
1 GeauxHouston22 2019-01-04
yup.
I like a lot of things where the fans fuck it all up. it's a shame
1 CrosbyStillzandSwag 2019-01-04
Its probably one of my least favorite Nolan movies, but I still enjoyed it. Dunkirk is the best movie he has done this decade imo, partly because he abandoned exposition.
1 MAMStoic 2019-01-04
I haven't seen many directors who take criticisms to heart and successfully rectify it in their subsequent movies.
1 wew_lad123 2019-01-04
I liked his show-don't-tell strategy and how he used it to advance the plot. I got so used the near-silence on the mole that I genuinely didn't notice that one of the main characters hadn't said a word the entire movie until the One Direction guy pointed it out. Pretty cool.
1 A7_AUDUBON 2019-01-04
I'm not going to hunt down all the comments of people saying it was the best movie they've ever seen but that sentiment was all over the place. It was a decent film but it liked the smell of its own farts. It's not the Citizen Kane some spergs think it is.
1 dramasexual 2019-01-04
It was aiight, but just super up it's own ass.
1 SithisTheDreadFather 2019-01-04
Don't kid yourself. These are mostly men. Remember how "manbaby" used to be a word people used? This is what those guys evolved into: crying online about how fucking Star Wars, Harry Potter, and Comic Books are the greatest human achievements of all time. I can't even comprehend the type of person who literally just can't even entertain the idea that they're mild entertainment.
1 CrosbyStillzandSwag 2019-01-04
I'm actually surprised to see some introspection from the posters in that second thread:
that's the crux of the problem. mcj has always been kind of smug and annoying, but at its best, it held up a mirror specifically to /r/movies. That way, anyone taking part in the sub had to mock whatever came from there, and there was no picking and choosing. Now the sub is just "any movie related discourse I don't like", from anywhere on the internet. There is very little content there that doesn't come from a very angry person with a bone to pick. I miss the days when we would just make fun of /r/movies for overusing the word "meticulous" like this one I made
1 A7_AUDUBON 2019-01-04
It's been a demographic switch. At one time it was actual film nerd types demolishing the pseudo-knowledgeable tripe that passed for discussion on r/movies.
Now its just another sub reaming muh toxic male nerd culture, comprised of legbeards who derive their identity from art originally constructed for the misogynistic male nerds they so deride.
1 CrosbyStillzandSwag 2019-01-04
yeah exactly when /u/Fletchdoesnotlive was still kicking the sub was very much a place for light discussion with people who really knew there stuff. One of the biggest critiques at the time was the "I can't watch anything from before 1990" jerk on /r/movies.
I know more about movies than almost anyone I have met irl, aside from film professors, but there used to be dozens of people on mcj who absolutely put me to shame. Fletch must have not had a life because he seemingly knew everything. Now the sub never talks about anything besides Disney tentpoles.
1 A7_AUDUBON 2019-01-04

I didn't particularly find the story lines they set up in tfa that compelling (mainly reys parents and generic evil sith dude) so I was glad they scrapped them
1 pausei144 2019-01-04
The problem is that they didn't replace them with anything. The goal of subversion is to replace an expected outcome with a greater one. Rian replaced every plot thread TFA set up with absolutely nothing.

Except it's the third act of a trilogy. There's nothing left to continue on.
1 Ls777 2019-01-04
So then don't watch it then? Im not sure what the logic is for trying to convince me I don't have a reason to watch it when I do, but ok
1 kryonik 2019-01-04
I don't plan on it. You're welcome to keep supporting bad story telling but I'm not going to. Haven't seen Solo yet.
1 duelapex 2019-01-04
Then why are trying to tell us something we like is bad (it’s objectively not) if you don’t give a shit?
1 kryonik 2019-01-04
From a story telling point it is bad. It looks nice, sounds nice and I think the actors did a good job. But the plot is riddled with holes, has a ton of dead weight, is a mess tonally and has baffling character choices.
1 duelapex 2019-01-04
If that's what you want to see, you'll see it, but I'm not about to spend hours debating this online. I'll defer to the expert opinion of critics.
1 kryonik 2019-01-04
Critics aren't always right. Judging from the disconnect between critic and audience scores, this might be one of those times.
1 duelapex 2019-01-04
I’d say it’s more likely that Star Wars is the sort of thing that people hold really dear to them and no matter what happened there would be many people who would respond poorly and negatively. The good thing about art is that people can interpret things differently and experience it however they want.
What do you think is more likely? That a bunch of critics are all wrong or a bunch of fanboys are mad that Luke wasn’t a flawless hero and they’re taking out their frustrations by latching on to half assed claims about narrative flaws? It’s pretty clearly the latter.
1 kryonik 2019-01-04
No one wanted Luke to be a flawless hero but his character was written so poorly in TLJ. In ROTJ he thought his father, one of the most evil men in the galaxy, could be redeemed so he infiltrated the death star to save him. Then he thought his nephew might be going to the dark side so he tried to murder him in his sleep. Then he saw bottomless power in Rey and her predilection to the dark side and decided to train her anyways? What the fuck writing is that?
1 duelapex 2019-01-04
What’s wrong with that? You expect him to never change or have moments of weakness? Or fear? Or anger? That’s completely in line with his character. He was always immature. He always made mistakes. You think Rey is a Mary Sue because she “has no flaws” but Luke shows a completely reasonable lapse of judgement and you’re crucifying the writing? In the end, he refused to fight his nephew and saving the resistance by throwing his lightsaber away. Exactly like he did in ROTJ. How the fuck is that anything but masterful treatment of his character?
1 kryonik 2019-01-04
Because Luke got to where he was through trials and tribulations. He started off a naive farm boy, trained really hard, had his nadir in Empire and overcame his hardships and became a Jedi master in ROTJ. He had his character arc. Why did that all get thrown away again? Even Mark Hamill completely disagreed with the direction they took Luke.
Rey hasn't changed at all. She's no different now than she was at the beginning of TFA. She's somehow a master pilot even though she's never left the planet, a master swordsman though she's never held a light saber, and a master force user even though she's never had any training.
1 duelapex 2019-01-04
Shes not a master at anything. Are we watching the same movie? She struggles throughout.
Mark Hamill initially disagreed and now admits he was completely wrong. If he had his character arc, what were they supposed to do with him? The fact that he wasn’t just another Yoda is exactly what’s right with the movie.

1 duelapex 2019-01-04
It’s much more about the individual characters now than the conflict as a whole. I find everything about Rey/Kylo/Luke/Leia’s relationships with each other incredibly interesting and I’m excited to see where it goes. It’s much harder to be cliche and predictable now and I find that exciting.
1 kryonik 2019-01-04
Except Luke is dead, Leia is going to be written out, and the Kylo and Rey dynamic would have been more interesting if Rey wasn't such a Mary Sue and/or she actually joined with him at the end of TLJ. That would have actually subverted my expectations. She's already beaten him twice in combat, so where's the tension going to come from?
1 duelapex 2019-01-04
Luke and Leia are both going to be involved in the story, Rey isn’t a Mary Sue (we settled that debate years ago), and I think it’s clear there was emotional tension between them both throughout the movie. I’m sure you won’t like IX since you already have your mind made up, but I’m excited for it.
1 kryonik 2019-01-04
I must have been absent when we cleared up the Mary Sue angle, why isn't she a Mary Sue? She learned to use the force over night, beat Kylo in a duel when she never even held a light saber previously and has not progressed whatsoever as a character.

I know for years the Starwars nerds argued about how Mary suey luke's hot ginger wife was and she's 1/10 the mary sue rei is
1 MalcolmFFucker 2019-01-04
The Rey/Luke/Kylo storyline in TLA was almost really good, but they fucked it up at the end. The other two storylines belong in the trash.
1 Quietus42 2019-01-04
Yeah that's pretty much my take, too.
1 duelapex 2019-01-04
I only know one person who doesn't like it
1 Corporal-Hicks 2019-01-04
i know ur mom
1 MrNotSpecified 2019-01-04
I watched it and it felt I was watching some sort of high-budget parody of star wars. Who the fuck watches shit like that and likes it.
1 Metatron58 2019-01-04
i've met 1.
this person's political views are extreme left though so it was no surprise to me. They latched onto the movie as some sort of validation of their political choices. As if to say, see! star wars is woke so everyone else should be too!
I personally didn't really see much wokeness in the new star wars tbh, not as much as people on opposite sides of the horseshoe did. Mostly it was just a bad movie to me.
1 Infidel6 2019-01-04
Imagine being so incapable of original thought that you need shit tier sci fi action movies to validate your opinions.
1 sudevsen 2019-01-04
I liked it but then again I hated TFA and possibly not a real person.
1 CrackFerretus 2019-01-04
I liked it better than TFA because it tried to be it's own story. Except for the casino planet. I just pretend that's not there. But I thought it was a well done film, best Disney starwars film to come out. Rouge one skipped out on character development and I can't remember any of it. And solo was just bad.
1 Corporal-Hicks 2019-01-04
It's own story is one thing, a completely incoherent story is another.
1 CrackFerretus 2019-01-04
I mean, I keep hearing that the story was incoherent, but when I watched it everything made sense to me. Except the majority of the gambling planet shit. That was. Something else.
1 Shitposting_Skeleton 2019-01-04
Incoherent from a film perspective. Not a basic comprehension perspective.
1 CrackFerretus 2019-01-04
What does that even mean.
1 Shitposting_Skeleton 2019-01-04
Just because the plot flows with the bare minimum of logic doesn't mean that they didn't hack together the separate sideplots with little thought put into presentation or audience experience.
1 CrackFerretus 2019-01-04
I enjoyed it and the film kept me on edge. Not sure what you're talking about.
1 Shitposting_Skeleton 2019-01-04
The fact that the film runs with a parallel + chain of errors plot style more appropriate for a comedy like The Rat Race rather than a hero-focused style? The fact that the entire casino planet was everything wrong with the prequels taken up to 11 (which also serves to make the rest of the movie look good?)Scratch that. The point is that unlike every other movie in the franchise, absolutely nothing new is learned. The plot basically didn't develop, period. The Rebellion lost all its nameless members and Snoke got replaced with no visible impact on the First Order, that's literally it.
1 CrackFerretus 2019-01-04
You're acting like there's any logic to the world of the past three star wars films. The rebellion being tiny to begin with was nonsense, the first order being bigger than the empire was is nonsense, and invalidates the original trilogy. Snoke was gearing up to be a boring fucking parallel to palatine and wasn't going anywhere interesting. It's okay for a character not to pan out how you'd think they would, which in this case, would literally be a retelling of the original trilogy. You know, better movies you've already seen. 100% of Solo was filler. Rouge one was full of non-characters that made the movie wholly forgettable. TFA was literally just worse episode 4, and they went as far as to throw out everything accomplished at the end of the original trilogy in order to recreate episode 4's setting. The first order is nonsense. The nu-rebellion is nonsense. Snoke and Rey's parents were literally just more of JJ Abrams' hack director "Mystery Boxes" which he throws in his movies at the cost of the sequels. TLJ was the only enjoyable movie of the last 4 star wars films.
1 Shitposting_Skeleton 2019-01-04
The problem was that the TLJ didn't fix any of TFA's plot craters, just made them worse.
1 CrackFerretus 2019-01-04
I mean you can't fix a nonsense setting like that, it did it's best by simply obliterating the bullshit.
1 Shitposting_Skeleton 2019-01-04
...Which TLJ didn't do. Like I said, none of the main characters save Snoke died and the situation did not change. Even Leia is still alive FFS.
1 kryonik 2019-01-04
A super slow space chase kept you on edge?
1 duelapex 2019-01-04
I actually have only met one person that didn’t like it. I didn’t like it at first but it’s grown on me and I’m able to look past what I didn’t like. I’ve always been a characters guy and less about lore and stuff, though.
1 Corporal-Hicks 2019-01-04
so the fact that the story line made zero sense didnt bother you?
1 duelapex 2019-01-04
Made enough sense to me, but I don’t really care if it didn’t.
1 GeauxHouston22 2019-01-04
the neckbeards are in a fucking tizzy over this movie because it had the audacity to feature a black dude and an asian lady
it's been like three years and they're still screeching about it. surely their voice matter to someone...?
1 Bogzbiny 2019-01-04
This shitty excuse of a sub laughs at cirklejerks and how people care too much about Star Wars, but then it's comment section is just /r/saltierthancrait 2 where they try to point out flaws about the movie and downvote and come at you if you say you liked it.
1 SigmaWhy 2019-01-04
I liked it but mainly because TFA was nostalgia dogshit
1 sadderreborn 2019-01-04
I have fallen asleep in all 3 attempts to watch it
1 transoceanicdeath 2019-01-04
I turned it off after a couple minutes. Starts out with Austin Powers prank calling Dr. Evil gag then pew pew space lasers. I wanted to like it too.
1 MehmedIIDidNoWrong 2019-01-04
I kinda liked it but the Leia thing just ruined it for me. Sucked me entirely out of the movie. Here I thought we were gonna have some poignant moment and a legit sad end to a character and a real Empire feel of the mid movie being about loss and then...that.
The rest was ok but. Goodness. I was totally sucked out of it at that point.
1 ZA_Brit 2019-01-04
Imagine being a star wars fag
1 GIANT_BLEEDING_ANUS 2019-01-04
I did but I'm a massive contrarian and I've only watched episodes 4,5 and 7.
1 Snowayne2 2019-01-04
I thought it was shit, but at least better than TFA by quite a bit.
1 zergling_Lester 2019-01-04
IMO the mod should ban everything except star wars crap.
1 suicidalsouthafrican 2019-01-04
I got banned for mentioning the Game Stop Ma'am meme.
1 Kookerpea 2019-01-04
What did you say exactly?
1 suicidalsouthafrican 2019-01-04
That was literally it.
1 Kookerpea 2019-01-04
That is definitely not worth a ban, in my opinion.

1 GeauxHouston22 2019-01-04
I would like to reiterate that these films are made for children and young adults
there's nothing wrong with enjoying them, but any adult man who has a hard and fast opinion about vidya, star wars, or capeshit should unironically be sterilized
1 sudevsen 2019-01-04
at this point they are mainly made for manchildren,as is all media that's cashing in on nostalgia wankery.

1 JurijFedorov 2019-01-04
It's a sub that just defends all movies that are pro black people or feminism. Nothing else. It gets tiresome after a while because they will even defend awful movies just because they are pro either one of these topics. That's too much. It's fine that you circlejerk but don't become an ad for crappy movies.
1 Brochodoce 2019-01-04

Commented. Will get 100 downvotes very soon which also will mean that they did see my comment so I'm happy. That sub is more left than even r/politics so they really can't say anything against any of my critique. It's 100% true that they are stringent defenders of huge blockbuster movies just because they have a black guy or woman in the leading role.
1 SpooksGTFO 2019-01-04
The other side tried to boycott the new Mad Max for having a woman in the leading role so it goes both ways.
1 JurijFedorov 2019-01-04
What? That didn't happen. Mad Max didn't even have a female lead.
1 SpooksGTFO 2019-01-04
It did happen retard and the protagonist was Furiosa

TLJ will never come close to the amount of shit the prequels got. Yet because the sperg outs on twitter by its butthurt director and WOMAN producer, they somehow feel the need to constantly defend its hallowed name. But that sub is totally having fun btw haha.
