Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

RomanesEuntDomus said:
You know, with this whole thing exploding over the course of like 10 hours, I completely overlooked how absolutely atrociously the movie introduces Palpatine, like, there is no buildup, mystery or whatever. It's like the movie can't get it over with quick enough and drop Palpatine into the movie asap.

The title crawl is literally "Palpatine is still alive and Kylo is looking for him", then we see Kylo obtain that dime-store prop and he meets Palpatine, who goes "Nah, mate, I'm the real deal, now be a good boy and become my buttmonkey" and so that takes care of that plot point.

Using Palpatine as new villain is a terrible idea, but the execution is botched as fuck, too. If this had been the goal from the beginning, they could have hinted at it in the previous movies, but the way it happens, it's literally as if another movie had hijacked the trilogy.

Even if one would think adding Palpatine would be a great idea, the way it happened is just such a lackluster thing to witness.

They can't write a buildup, nor can they write a payoff to said buildup, I remember the utter batshit reactions to Snoke's death, they built him up to be this "ebin new sith lord who rivals Sheev" but he just shouts at babby Kylo for a bit and then gets BTFO by him, nothing came about from Snoke, what was the point of him being there?

Wow! That both simultaneously steals an entire scene from Return of the Jedi, and gets the complete fucking point of it wrong. In Jedi, Luke throws away his weapon as he declares I am a Jedi. He stoically stands to face what is coming. A rather strong and compelling allegory to both Eastern and Christian philosophy and belief. Whereas JarJar Abrams “I gots 2 Lightsabers now! I be Sooper Jedi and kick yo azz!” Needless to say as is typical for Abrams he completefails to grasp the actual point of the work he is parroting like a South Sea Islands Cargo Cult.

And I don’t think anybody is surprised at just how much of a train wreck this movie is. Least of all apparently, the actors. This looks like Justice League all over again. I mean the look on their faces say “Harrison Ford was blind falling down drunk when he filmed his famous Hoth scenes. I so wish that was me!”

Pay 10.99 for the official Knights Of Ren novel... of course, it's coming soon. Gotta m.ilk the dying cow for all it's worth, even in it's last, pained moments.

What's hilarious (or sad) is that, as Doomcock said, the Palpatine line ultimately triumphs over the Skywalkers. Rey outlasts Luke, Leia, Han, and Kylo. In a moment of triumph, she steals the mantel of Skywalker, demonstrating the superiority of the Palpatines.

This shows you no matter who is in charge of storytelling, the Empire and Palpatine are continuously proven to be superior and preferable to the Jedi and Republic. Such is Star Wars.

Here's another funny thing about Hollywood too.

That they think that writing an overpowered Mary Sue female character somehow means that is a 'well' written' character when really they are boring as all shit.

Now this doesn't mean that writing an overpowered character means that said character will become a Mary Sue or a Gary Stu because there's plenty of characters in fiction that are overpowered but at least they have character depth and personality.

There's Kenshiro from Fist of the North Star.
There's Ainz Ooal Gown from Overlord.
There's Saitama from One-Punch Man.
There's Alucard from Hellsing.

And then you have Rey where she gets to use these powerful force moves with no real training at all, her character is just as bland as mash potatoes with no seasoning, and she can drive the Millennium Falcon without any training either. Even Ainz Ooal Gown, the fucking skeleton from Overlord that can't even make a smile, has more humanity than this sorry excuse of a Mary Sue in the Star Wars universe and shit.

I'm so glad this movie is getting shit on. I was afraid that Disney would do a Shill Blitz like with TLJ, or, even worse, that the movie would actually be okay, which would give justification for the past trashfires. Instead, it seems that EVERYONE is criticizing this, and it is now indisputably unquestionable that Disney destroyed this franchise. Of course though, bad reviews are one thing. The real hope is that the bad reviews will lead to poor word of mouth which will lead to a flopped box office. I know that seems like a stretch for this franchise, but considering how Solo flopped, combined with the hate for TLJ, and the poor reviews coming out now, tRoS flopping seems like an increasingly likely possibility. The goal is to make Star Wars lose more money than Disney paid GL to buy the rights and what Disney paid to produce the films. Only then will the rat start chewing through Kathleen Kennedy's stomach.

All this Rey talk reminds me: Who the fuck is Rey anyways? What is her motivation for all this? She has no clue who the emperor is, so why does she care? Why are all the jedi sending her their energy? You can easily name other characters who fought and killed more than she did.
Did Rey ever even fight a stormtrooper in her life? All she did is had two lightsaber fights with Kylo Ren and won because she's a woman.
She's a fucking nobody and SHE'S the one that gets to deliver the final blow to villain.
what the fuck?

To be fair, the Empire is far cooler looking and appealing than the Rebels could ever wish for.
