Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

The only one of the new trilogy I've seen was the first one. Was very bland and I'd had parts of it spoiled but I don't care about spoilers. I didn't even pay for that ticket.

The dumbest thing I've read recently is that currently people are "coming around" to liking the prequels.

Shut the fuck up. No they're not.
If this thread is an indication, it's more that people now appreciate the prequels for trying to be different but having shitty excution. Many people enjoy them in an ironical "so bad it's good" sense, I can understand that. I wouldn't say that I like the prequels, they are absolutely shitty, but I do like what they tried to do and here and there, there are good ideas, but atrocious execution. And the designs are pretty awesome, so there's that.
The ST just slapped a new paintjob on everything and sold it as new, the prequels actually had their own style and stuff.

The question remains: Will the stans assure it makes a billion?
A week ago, I would have said "sure", but now... now is a different matter. I still don't see it "bombing", but it will be a dank, wet fart of an abortion of a box office result.
But chances of it actually bombing are slowly rising with each hour. If reviews are this bad, word-of-mouth will be terrible. To wit: The first public showing of that movie ended about a few minutes ago in Germany. We will get a wave of angry Krauts talking their minds of this movie, that might give us a hint to the overall reception amongst the movie goers. Chances are, this movie is going to be a dud, not an outright bomb, but still far away from being a success.

Same here. I'm going to see how bad this is for myself. Don't hear from me for a while, assume a brain aneurysm did me in.

Whatever the fuck you do, do not pay for the ticket, otherwise you're a bigger fool than JarJar and Ruin.

Outdone in its final hour by an Incel Clown....

Between the uncaring CEO, the incompetent execs, the talentless writers, the opportunistic hacks, and the parasite woke frauds....it never stood a fucking chance

Vote now on your phones; which was more disastrous?

Third Impact or this film?
 
I wonder how the Mouse's top servants are feeling right now.

Are they feeling terror? Disdain? Shame, perhaps?

Or maybe they are incapable of feeling such emotions anymore. Maybe their servatude has corrupted their minds, refusing them such human emotions.

After all, can't admit defeat when you have the Rat looming overhead.
All of these people are multimillionaires practically guaranteed to be isolated from any consequences as a result of this movie's performance. Even if the worst happens and they're booted out from Lucasfilm they'll find their way to a similar position at another Disney subsidiary with few lessons learned.
Amy Pascal got promoted after Ghostbusters 2016 to running her own production studio for Sony. Her next film? Spider-Man:Homecoming.
 
I bought tickets to see it at midnight. I’ll watch it and probably end up enjoying it - theater does serve booze, after all.

edit: ticket purchases were well before reviews and first round of spoilers hit
You're a fucking idiot.

Say what you will about the Third Impact, at least you didn't have to pay 20 bucks to partake in it. And it concluded the trilogy of Impacts in a rather final and satisfactory manner.
 
That fucking ending "battle", holy shit. It was pathetic. NOT A MARY SUE my ass.
I can't actually compare it to the same scene in the original trilogy. No sacrifice, no character growth, no fucking point.
I've lost my interest to sw long ago and still I was disappointed.
 
This is a tough one. I say yes, but I think Disney is quickly going to promote the shit out of Mandalorian....

They know episode 9 is a lost cause, and will try to bury it with baby Yoda.

Fortunately for them(or unfortunately for others), that show is getting better....

Favreau and perhaps Feige may be calling the shots with this franchise in the near future...

I don't think Kennedy is coming out of this in one piece..

Harsh truth: everything about the MCU has been done massively better than anything about Episodes 7 through 9. The casting, the plot, the scripts, fucking everything.

The Endgame ending works because the fans have spent ten fucking years with Tony Stark by this point. The writers have bothered to develop his character, and RDJ is a great actor. The ending works because we actually fucking care what happens to Tony Stark. We don’t want him to go out that hard, but we also know he’s a stone cold fucking hero and also “....I am Iron Man”. A callback ten years in the making.

Episode 7 through 9 have made us give absolutely no fucks about any of the characters introduced. We know that the good guys are going to win in the end, but we really dgaf about how we get there. We don’t care if they live or die. Daisy Ridley bleating “I am a Jedi” means fucking nothing to us at this point. The ending doesn’t have any resonance with its audience.

This is not the level of engagement you want for a major franchise. This is disastrous for a mega franchise. Most people who would consider themselves fans of Star Wars are no longer engaged with the movie canon, and the reason is that Abrams has fucked it completely. He bunged the entire Expanded Universe in the bin for this, after ripping off the Solo twins plotline but making us not care about anyone involved.

I was more fucking invested in Frozen 2 than this, because god help us, Elsa is a better developed character than Rey, and she’s a fucking ice slinging Disney Princess. She is still a better written character.

The only humour to be found here is that Abrams has attained the special distinction of fucking up both Star Wars and Star Trek. That’s barely possible.
