Yeah.

I don't mean to attack lore as a concept, by the way. Lore is art all the same.

I just don't like the way that some people hyperfixate on it so much that an artist trying to do something new, risky, or interesting becomes basically impossible.

People will get stuck on details so much that they end up choking their favorite works to death without even realizing it. As a broad example, I would point to Star Wars.

I was thinking Star Wars even before you mentioned it.

Hahaha, of course.

You know, I was dragged into seeing episode 9 against my will (I was fine with it), and that movie, like... actually pissed me off. I was legit getting whiplash from all the location changes.

It was when they asked Rose to go with them that I realized JJ did this specifically to spite Rian Johnson
