OFFICIAL NEWS A Lasting Record Of Solo's Financial Performance.

Good for him. But last time I checked it was all about "TLJ sucks, let's boycott Solo, Solo is failing, let's push on". Did something change?

 

Him, like half the fanbase is tired of certain things.

 

Like what?

 

Explain how rogue one ran circles around attack of the clones adjusted for inflation but solo is a Maclunkey disaster

 

That's not what I was asking, but if you insist:
1)Bad press about production troubles
2)Huge competition
3)Constant whining about Ehrenreich and "nobody wants this movie", which would have happened even if TLJ was a beloved masterpiece
4)And yes, constant misplaced hatred from crazy-obsessed OT fans after TLJ

 

Well let me ask u this. What will make you think a SW film "sucked"?

Rey clubbing porgs like seals? Han microwaves an Ewok? Leia riggs an election? Finn haves a dance off with Hux? An alien saying more blaster owner rights every other line?

Like, Jeremy many tire of the suckness.

 

Solo was expected to "bomb" (be the least financially successful of the films) before TLJ ever came out. People in 2017 were predicting it was a film no one wanted and that it's release timing was bad and that the bad press would consume its reputation.

 

That doesn't answer my question. SW had plenty of "suckness" since 1978 - Holiday Special, Ewok movies, Prequels etc. What has changed?
SJW agenda? In comparison to other franchises it's mild and easy to ignore.
They've "broken" Luke? Prequels have "broken" Darth Vader before.
The've recast Han Solo? They did that to Obi Wan before.
Canto Bight was pointless and stupid? Space worm from ESB was also pointless and stupid.
Rey suddenly expert at the force without much training? Not unlike Luke blowing up the Death Star without targetting computer.
Etc. etc. etc.

And btw, wanna know what real "SJW agenda" looks like? Search "Doctor Who feminism" on Youtube. Like here:

 

He's not telling ANYONE to boycott Solo. He's just said that he's not going to see the movie himself. In every video he always says that you have your own free will and choice and he is not telling anyone what to do.

It's amazing how people are good at making things up about someone just because they don't like their opinions.

 

Well, I am not going to spend much time following a channel with titles like "Disney Is Trying To Silence Us!", "Solo Is Falling! We The Rebellion Vs Disney The Empire" and "Kathleen Kennedy's Moment Of Truth Has Arrived!". Maybe his arguments are, in fact, calm and reasonable, but why would I want to check them out? I love Star Wars too much to consider myself a "fan" and it's unlikely I'll ever understand people, starting hate-fueled "rebebellions" if a movie franchise stops working for them.

 

It's tanking 'cause it's a lame movie.

 

That's not the point, I'm not telling you to check out his videos. I was replying to your comment because you said something about him that wasn't true.

"Hate" is an overused term used by people like you. It's very popular, because it makes you think the people who don't like these movies are just a couple of angry nerds with no life who dwell in their basements. That's simply not true. I'm not saying you think like this, but it's certainly the picture being brought up by the media and many others.

People are disappointed, and most importantly disappointed in how Lucasfilm are treating their fans. They do not take any criticism seriously, instead they are labelling anyone criticising these movies as "racists", "woman haters", "men afraid of strong women", "alt-right", and so on, when the criticism has nothing to do with gender or diversity at all. I think this is one of the biggest reason why people are not showing up, to be honest. And unless they do something about it, like giving Lucasfilm a completely new direction, Episode 9 is going to flop harder than anyone could possibly imagine. Although at this point I don't really expect them to change anything about Episode 9. At earliest, we will start to see changes within Lucasfilm post-Episode 9.

Sure, there are things I don't like about TLJ as well. But a) I don't compain about the movie for month and b) I don't demand anyone to be fired because of it and c) I don't want any SW movies to fail.

That's the political climate in Hollywood in general at this point. It would keep happening to anything female-led, black-led etc.
As for treating the fans, LF by now has made 3 fanservice-filled movies and 1 that tries to subvert expectations, half of which (like Rey's parentage) are not it's own fault. And yet somehow "fans" are angry about how they are treated.

 

Lol. The general consensus among the disappointed fans (although I will get voted down for even suggesting something as being the general consensus) is that The Force Awakens and Rogue One were good movies. Then The Last Jedi came along and not only was it a bad movie by itself - it made TFA look bad in retrospective.

 

Only if you were super invested in it's "mysteries". I never was, so I don't treat TFA any differently.

 

Seriously? JJ intentionally made TFA into one big mystery. Intentionally.

 

Well, he does love his mystery boxes, but not everything is an intentional mystery. It's just that, much like ANH, the movie doesn't provide a detailed backstory to everything and being the first part of a trilogy, it's not supposed to explain everything. It's supposed to create a setup, which the movie did a pretty good job. The only relevant "mystery" was Rey's parentage and I'm perfectly fine with how that turned out.

 

ANH was made in a way to work as a single film, with potential sequels if the film was successful. TFA was specifically made to be the first in a trilogy. There's a difference.

For example, there is absolutely nothing in ANH that indicates Vader being teased as Luke's father. Why? Because ANH was not setup as being a mystery box. In ANH, we're not constantly being told how important Luke's parentage are, or how mysterious his background is. This however, was a central theme surrounding Rey in TFA. It's being brought up by almost every single character she comes across, from Maz's "Who's the girl" to Snoke's "Bring her to me".
