| Slimebeast said: Star Wars died with The Last Jedi and director Rian "I just killed Snoke for no reason lol" Johnson. I bet millions of people have already said this, but The Force Awakens was a pretty good movie that at least tried to honor the Star Wars heritage, while The Last Jedi destroyed everything. The Solo movie flopping so hard in a way I've never witnessed only warms my heart. I hate Disney and the tyranny of SJW-politics. |
The problem is I can no longer say TFA is a good movie because it's ultimate purpose was to be a setup film, and considering TLJ was the absolute worst of Star Wars films, I would say it fails as a film.
TFA's issue as I stated before is that it's a setup film, and considering the events that transpired, you cant say it succeeded when the next film seemingly ignored everything the first one built. Rey was a Mary Sue in TFA, and it's further shown in TLJ along with the fact she has absolutely no reason to be as good as she is. Snoke was the only interesting character from that first film, and he didn't even get a fight scene
I know this is off topic, but I've been on a My Hero Academia high. Imagine the first 3 episodes were the exact same, except when Deku got his power, he no longer was naïve, did everything correct and then some, and basically made All Might look like All Shit, and as such the rest of series followed a god on Earth who did nothing to earn that status. TFA represents those first 3 episodes, but the difference is there were elements that were blatant that got further exaggerated in TLJ (such as Rey being able to fly the Millennium Falcon no prob and beat Ben in a lightsaber battle the first try), whereas in My Hero you experience Deku's basic rock bottom and actually enjoy seeing where he goes from there, EVEN when he directly tells you he will become the greatest hero. I may be new to anime, but when a $500-$700 million box office film is outdone by a few people in Japan, there's some glaring issues.
Solo is sort of a byproduct of this mess. It's a story about a character who had a previous arch and really didn't need the screen time, and as such feels more like a cash grab then adding to the world and lure. Solo didn't need a film, and as such the film itself seems like a waste of time.
