The yearly thing is just a poor excuse, though. Marvel has been pumping 2-3 movies a year for the past 5 years or so, yet every sequel performs better than the last. The difference? Marvel tries to stay out of the political crap. Even if they dabble in it a little, its very general things that most can agree on and, more importantly, they don't shit all over the fans who actually got them where they are when they don't agree. They also don't try to shit on the characters, either, which is nice.
What I see happening with SW is the exact same thing that happened with the Ghostbusters remake. The only difference is that instead of pushing the political agenda first, and making a poor film, Lucafilm/Kennedy made TFA first to rope us in. Wasn't the greatest film, but it was decent and got us looking forward to more, where some of the issues in TFA could be addressed. Then, after they had a hold of the fans and a pile of cash, they started pushing out their agenda into the lore (the Force is female) and films (TLJ and, now, Solo), either through the script or social media. As expected, many fans are not accepting it.
Well, technically they are saying that Lando is a pansexual. But, I still agree with you.

Really? Marvel stays out of politics? Did you not watch Black Panther? Which by the way over-performed by Disney expectations. Also Marvel movies are vastly different to one another. Winter Soldier, Black Panther, Ant-Man, Spider-Man Homecoming and such all have different feel to them so even though technically they are superhero films, they can be taken as individual movies as well. Not so with Star Wars, which is why there is a fatigue with those movies already.
You have such an anti-SJW boner that you will believe people are pushing propaganda at you even though they're just making a movie. Heck Solo has a straight white male lead so this should be right up your alley man.

First of all, the politics of BP were very general. It was basically MLK vs Malcom X. Killmonger had a right to be mad, but it was made clear that the way he was going about it was completely wrong and he had to be stopped. Same goes for any Marvel film. And no, they don't have a unique feel. They are painstakingly made so that they feel very similar. Some may be a little darker than others, or be set in a different location, but the overall look, feel, and model are pretty much the same. It's why people can say that something is trying to be a Marvel film. So, fatigue is a poor excuse. Especially after just two friggin films.
Or maybe you just support the message, so you don't see when they are trying to cram stuff down the collective throat of those who either disagree or just don't want that stuff in their SW film.

Absolutely nothing.

Who are you people?? VGchartz has gone insanely right wing out of a freaking movie. |
Being right wing has absolutely nothing to do with it. There are plenty in the center/center-left who despise the direction that SW is going. I'm subbed to Mindless Entertainment on Youtube, the host of which would definitely describe herself as being on the Left and with whom I don't always agree with, but she hates all of this crap being put into SW, too.
The sad thing is that Disney could have had a chance to expand the market with China, like they did with the Marvel flicks. Instead, China rejected TLJ and seems to be done with the franchise. At least for now.
