Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Godzilla@1989]

I hope we're over the hump of peak "cool nerd" shit. I remember peak anime shit about ten years ago. It really felt like anime was going mainstream, even shitty modern shows and books got released in English. We had western faux anime get popular.

Then anime DVDs started showing up at Big Lots for $3, TokyoPop went bankrupt, and you could find manga by all publishers in the discount book bin. I guess teen girl pseudo-action series, Homestuck, and MCU did it in. The wall of Funko Pops at every dying Toys r Us gives me hope.

I feel that Episode 9 will officially make Star Wars irrelevant after forty-two years.

If he doesn’t renew, it would also become impossible to make everyone care about the MCU even more since much of the Phase 1 actors are don’t after Avengers 4. With him and the original cast gone, I don’t see how the MCU would stay relevant.

Also, you know how the fifth Transfomers movie did absolute shit at the box office? I’m starting to see Episode 9 doing shit at the box office now. I feel like they’re going to do all the shittest jump the shark moments in Episode 9 in the most ridiculous way possible since it’s the last the of the sequel trilogy.

There's no way. If Fiegie leaves without grooming a successor beforehand, it falls apart. It had best be written into his contract if he leaves, he has to train up a replacement up to par. Because right now he is irreplaceable.

And on the transformers thing, I always remember an interview with Roger Corman when they asked him why he made five Carnosaur movies. Corman's response was basically, "Well, the fifth one barely made a profit, so I knew it was time to stop."

Agree 90% BUT...

It's hard not to look at Anita's initial kickstarter and think there's NO money in it.

What I think is the problem is that population is large enough (and tech for production cheap enough) that almost anybody can get a sustainable audience for their product at just a few hundred thousand - so the landscape is less about hitting as broad appeal as possible as much as getting a hardcore, passionate fanbase.

THEN the problem is that the media live in such a group-think bubble that they all believe they have to chase after the same audience of woke folk. They are essentially trying to oversupply a narrow demand and not many think to try and serve the population or normies or conservatives or sane-left or anybody else not SJW. So then something like Roseanne or some of the Christian film companies comes along and cleans up with major $$$ by grabbing the underserved market.

The one OTHER factor I think may be at play is that a buddy of mine tried to create his own business and failed the first time. His frustration (and I've heard other business owners say this too) is that it's SUPER hard to get customer feedback - even though it's literally a request to do whatever they can to please the customer. If there's one thing we know about SJWs, they LOVE to complain to anyone that is listening. So they end up swaying companies because the companies are desperate for feedback and the majority is silent.

(That's why while I won't do much customer surveys, I will try to talk to people face to face and tell them what I liked or didn't.)

Social Justice only makes you money if you are attractive, female and are at the right time and right place. And it isn't corporate amounts of money. Its not new audience type of money. Its the equivalent of guys paying cam girls to show you their tits. 90% of the donors to Anita, I guarantee you, are straight white men who are fucking thirsty. Look at men trying the same shit. The money they get is a fucking joke. Movieblob, Maddox, all of them. It makes them shit. You think Josh McTosh gets invited to speaking events? He's stuck doing shitty YouTube while Zoe Quinn and Anita get paid for their time and speaking engagements. SJW shit only works in a small amount of situations and brings in enough money to support a very small amount of people, who are almost always women being paid for by men, who use their donations to virtue signal to other feminists to try and get laid.

And yes, SJWs are louder than the silent majority. But time and time and time and time again shows that this identity politics in pop culture shit is driven by a small, circular minority and isn't enough to sustain anything. Money talks and bullshit walks, and it has happened CONSTANTLY. ABC is projected to lose over 60 million dollars in ad revenue alone by cancelling a popular show. Not to mention the X amount of dollars they will lose when people just don't want any part of a show getting cancelled within literal hours over a shitty joke. What did they gain? I'm seriously asking. What did they gain from that entire shitshow?

Its not a new audience, because younger generations don't watch TV. Fuck, I don't even own a television. All my entertainment is gaming, YouTube, Netflix, HBOGo and shitposting. I don't need a TV for any of that.

Its sure as shit not the audience watching Rosanne because you told them all to fuck off.

Its a loss. A loss again. All for an image that people don't honestly give a fuck about. And views and viewers ABC execs didn't want. The content of the Rosanne reboot definitely made them uncomfortable and all they needed was an excuse. There's no doubt in my mind they were relieved when Rosanne fucked up. They had an excuse to get rid of it. Nobody, and I mean nobody, gets rid of a popular cash cow that fast unless they already wanted to slaughter that bitch.

They still want this mystical, progressive audience that they believe exist. They want to be progressive and 'on the right side of history'. Let me tell you, history doesn't give a fuck. TV is a dying form of entertainment, especially fucking network. Cancelling Rosanne is a delusional man that amputates his good foot while his entire body is dying, because he thinks the disease is in his feet. Too bad its in his brain, because that's where this fucking cancer is.

I love seeing the TLJ shillers do mental gymnastics to defend the underperformance of Solo.

But they should be happy about another Star Wars movie "subverting expectations"...except this time financially.

That’s why SJWs love; watching everything become shit. Hell, they’re not even fans of the property.

I just want o leave this here because I thought it was interesting.

Wendig got mentioned towards the start of the thread. We'll probably have a thread on him by time or a little after Episode IX comes out.

Wendig cut his teeth as writer for White Wolf around 2002 or so. Prime fodder already.

I haven't read his shit like Aftermath, but I'm amusing it's fucking terrible like the sequels. Also, I love how he, like the other SJWs like Chirs Chan, Dobson, MovieBob, and the other Disney-Star Wars shiller, is in denial that what Disney is doing to Star Wars blows gorilla ass and instead of acknowledging the problem, they attack the fans because "VAGINA! BLACK GIRL POWER!".

I haven't read the whole thing (I refuse to) but it's worse than the Sequel Trilogy or even Solo. The writing is all broken and he relies too heavily on fragments.

That's the shits. I also feel Disney is also allowing EA to fuck up Star Wars as well besides the atrocious films they're shitting out. I mean, what fucking idiot at EA decided to include micro transactions and loot boxes in those games?

Rogue One and Solo shouldn't have been made and Force Awakens should have taken risks but not the kind that Last SJW took.

Disney ruined SWs by trying to make it a yearly thing BUT they didn't diversify the content. The universe is vast and although I haven't throughout watched all the Star Wars in a while, I'm almost certain all we have is the same old Dark Side, Rebels, Resistance shit.

I think Iger was foolish with thinking what they’re doing with Marvel would work for Star Wars and that is clearly backfiring hard right now.

I could honestly see them giving up with this propert like they did with Power Rangers. Both Disney’s handling of Star Wars and Power Rangers have a lot in common from what I’m seeing.

• They had their respective fan bases excited when Disney bought them and then they turned out to be mixed bags for them.
• They constantly made less profit with new content made.
• They don’t diversify and expand on their lore and mythology at all.
• They rely on a inconstant balance in comedic and mature tones
• They consitantly waste old and new characters with poetential.
• They consistantly waste the talents of the original and new actors.
• They are both managed by clueless producers.

Does anyone know why they decided to try to shift to a summer release? The other Disney Star Wars movies have all been at Christmas. Solo wasn't action-packed enough to be a summer action movie, and it disrupted the whole system of having a new movie every December. I bet it would have done better if it was released in December. People have to be getting into the tradition of seeing a Star Wars movie over their winter vacation by now.

Not sure. But that was stupid of them to not release it in December. However, keep in mind TLJ heavily pissed off fans.

All of those comparisons are spurious at best, but let's keep the discussion to Star Wars.

How is Episode VI even remotely related to the Vietnam War? I was struggling to see it until I put on the "please be patient, i have autism" hat, which revealed this stunning insight: the Ewoks defeat the Imperial forces in the jungle despite a technological disadvantage. Vietnam War in a microcosm, very deep, really activates the almonds.

Truly, it takes a simpleton of the highest order to turn that absurdly tangential comparison into "Episode VI has a strong anti-Vietnam War theme"

 

[friedshrimp]

It's hilarious they're throwing those ideas since Tolkien himself hated "allegories" and didn't want people to associate LOTR with real themes like racism, WWII, etc etc.

Like, those basic ideas can all trace back to ideas of Good vs Evil, protect the weak, respect nature...Something entirely different from "SJW Propaganda", which is something you'd find more in something like Get Out or Ghostbusters 2016 or all those current "Drumpf allegory is coming for all da women and brown people we're living in a current dictatorship holocaust!" shows.

I mean George was tapped to direct Apocalypse Now back in the early 70s when it was gonna be a Docudrama filmed in California, but this shit is exceptional as fuck.

It's a shame this person didn't call people who disagree with them "fake geek boys", because then this post would have used every single cliche that exists for posts like this.
