I just hope we get rid of the false idea leafs are 'nice' and the better of our neighbors. They are nothing more than europoors with a bigger inferiority complex. If we can get immigration on under control Mexico is the better country.
Purely anecdotal but I've seen more than once instance of middle school teachers talking online about how the boys in their class think Star Wars is for girls the same way something like Barbie or My Little Pony is. It's not all covered in pink and pastel but every single Star Wars story now is about how the female character is smarter/better than everyone else and the male characters are all dumb failures who need the girls to teach them how to be competent, so it's not hard to see why.
And disney bought star wars in the first place because it was a boy brand and they wanted to diversify from their mainly female audience. Lol great job guys.
That's modern entertainment in general. The way they write their characters is so formulaic all you have to do is see a picture of the cast to know what's going on.
The biggest thing holding the prequels back is that they're an earnest political tragedy trilogy and an earnest personal corruption trilogy forced to share the same three movies, when they really need their own time to shine. Basically everything that's a problem with them (e.g. like Red Letter Media saying the phantom menace lacks a clear protagonist) can be traced back to trying to cram all the extra worldbuilding and intrigue the political tragedy needs into the same amount of space the original trilogy had just for luke's character arc.
I think RLM influence began to wane after they went full retro and stopped doing what made them famous, like plinkett series and half in the bag. I guess it was by design. They love shit talking about so bad so good movies from 90s.
It also helped that they had a horrible take on the acolyte which amounted to "some people on the internet don't like it so we won't call it bad." That broke the shielding they had and RLM started getting called out for bad takes. People then started to go back and reevaluate their past takes. A lot of which are super bad.
You have to look at from their perspective. These are fucking old millenial WHITE men in MILWAUKEE. They have to, nay, they MUST fence sitting.
You may have figured it out already, but a way to get through these propaganda classes without painting a target on yourself or sacrificing your grades is just to frame your answers in the fantasy world they live in without strictly agreeing with it. In this ethnic studies class for example, you could start your response with "according to the definition of racism laid out by <person or text>, Black people are unable to be racist because <some bullshit>. You know that the definition is wrong and that anything that follows is wrong too, but in the professor's la-la land this would be the case.
" even if that would feel better.
I disagree, I think they were just capable of properly laying out the reasons most people knew these movies were intrinsically bad/wrong but couldn't due to a lack of a film school background. I grew up watching the VHS tapes of the Original Trilogy and even I knew The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones were bad movies as a kid even if I liked the lightsaber fights because the characters were all wrong, the pacing was all wrong, any scene that wasn't an action scene was mind numbingly boring because all the direction is flat, etc.
Not sure where people keep getting this from, they just said that it was a mediocre show that was dumb/silly and didn't deserve the outrage it was getting. People were treating it like it was a sequel to a beloved series or raped a character the way TLJ raped Luke but it didn't do anything of the sort. They were just mystified that people were paying so much attention to this thing.
Yeah, "old" millenial take. Most older millenial feels this way. Fuck, I felt this way until I realized PUT A CHICK IN IT AND MAKE IT LAME AND GAY trend.
I think the issue is RLM like a lot of older Star Wars fans have given up on the brand, they aren't invested in it anymore. But people who still fight the 'culture war' within the brand and think if they watch/tweet enough Doomcock videos Kathleen Kennedy will be shot into the sun and Dave Filoni will retcon the sequels think anyone who doesn't go into a frothing rage at every single Star Wars announcement MUST be okay with it and tacitly approve it. And it's like, no nigger, you're just retarded and feeding into the system. Disney makes money off of you when you make 8 hour hatewatching essays about their new shitty shows, when you tweet about the show you boost the brand. The only winning move is to not play and starve the beast. It doesn't matter how many videos you make/watch, they don't care what you think and will continue to pozz the brand as long as they keep making money off your retarded tweets.
"turn left right now or we're gonna crash"
Yeah, but the stuff Disney pumped out afterwards was so awful that many of the sins of the prequel trilogy seem like no big deal in retrospect, or even warmly quirky. I can go back and enjoy those prequels, even now, as campy films with flaws that almost fit the era they came from. I do not expect to go back to Disney Wars, ever. I think this is a relatively common sentiment and why you see prequel revisionism these days.
The idea if you ignore something it will just go away has been proven false time and time again. See snowwhite, that was enemy #1 and it's failure made disney stop live action remakes all together.
So they have the ability to milk something but other don't? That is the issue. They were the ones who started this whole genre and now they want to pull up the ladder. They were the original ragebait.
This is true.
We should be able to depose and jail judges and DA due to discrimination
