Okay, I don't know why this came up.

But I've never talked about this with other comrades, so here we go.

THIS MOVIE SUCKED. I HATE that me disliking this movie paired me with a lot of reactionary imbeciles but this movie fucking sucked.

It wasn't the pacing, the boring to death plot, the attack on the archetypes.

It was Luke. Holy shit they were just making stuff up.

So. The Luke that's ready to execute his nephew on his sleep... That was such a fucking cop out.

Here you have a man, a man who's the incarnation of hope (literally "A new hope"), who hopes for the best on everyone. Who was literally gambling the future of the galaxy, betting the life everyone in the resistance because HE BELIEVED his father could be redeemed.

His father? The personification of evil, a genocidal monster, LITERALLY A CHILDREN KILLER. So this man is willing to risk EVERYTHING because he things, he believes there's still good in his father.

This same man is getting ready to execute his nephew, his apprentice, a troubled teen, because he "might turn bad".

SAY WHAT!?

Fuck Rían Johnson, fuck Disney for not having a plan, fuck Lucas for literally selling out

Andor is amazing. Everyone should watch it. Red One is also very, very good.

AND THAT FUCKING ENDING. The boy with the broom. WHAT!?

In Rogue one you have a monk, someone who has trained his whole life to have a glimpse of the power the Jedi can wield.

I'm one with the force and the force is with me.

But nah, fuck that, everyone can have powers, you don't need training.

Goddamn it.

WHAT THE FUCK?!

Too much subversion and all that. I like riaan Johnson other movies and it works for those but here.... Its meh. A paragon archetype becoming disillusioned usually would need some better writing to make it work otherwise it starts looking as goofy as injustice.
