    I can imagine this being done for people defending a movie, and people would cry foul, that's all.

    I find this in no way "contributing to a toxic community", by making fun of the ones that are toxic. It is toxic, IMO, to dismiss this movie before it has even come out, or say anything on this "bingo card".....go to the comment section of any SOLO youtube video right now and you will see everything on this card.

    Ah, so you believe everything on that card is part of what makes Star Wars a toxic community. I now understand your definition of toxic...

    it seems "toxic" itself should be on some bingo card somewhere, as ubiquitously it's used, and as broadly its applied.

    I think I have a handle on what the meaning behind this bingo thing is now, thank you. I also may not care too much now when people talk about the toxic community, because it doesn't seems half as destructive as the word implies.

    Agreed.

    If you haven't seen a film, yet you're criticizing the quality of that film, that seems pretty toxic to me.

    Hey @ZDTemplar,

    In general, I have no problem with people who have seen the film having legitimate criticisms of it.

    This is, in and of itself, making fun of that toxic community, though. After TLJ, there were some really stupid criticisms thrown around (and some really stupid justifications for stuff in the movie too, as @Angelman alludes to. This is where a lot of that toxicity came from, and I chose to apply it to Solo in order to parody it.

    Personally, I feel like none of the items included on this card are legitimate complaints against a film (especially if you haven't even seen it yet) and most are toxic.

    Sorry if you feel singled out by this, but it's not meant to feed into toxicity at all but to lampoon it.

    Cry foul for what? Almost no one has seen the movie. Criticism and praise are foolish and are just pulled out of the old patootie.

    A goodly amount of people are bordering on delusional and have crossed the line into being not just zealots but senseless zealots.

    Why would supposed fans be on a crusade to destroy what they assert to love now to the point they can't even allow a film to release before they are flailing around to damage it as much as they can muster?

    These folks need to be sat in the corner with a dunce cap as far as I'm concerned. If you think nonsense like Soylo is clever then not only are you acting like a moron but are waiving the I'm a dimwitted, crowd following bigot flag as well.

    It's almost like we're questioning how Jona could live inside of a fish, or whether Jesus of Nazareth really walked on water or was it just low tide.

    Wait.....we probably could have some funny conversations about that, because we're Star Wars fans, a franchise that is always asking you to question dogma.

    This bingo is pretty funny haha
