Disney Star Wars

[DarthXedonias]

Saw The Last Jedi last night.

To sum it up... what happens when Disney meets Star Wars? Apparently, it's stupidity, feminist agenda, unnecessary inclusion of cutesy big-eyed creatures, randomly ignoring everything that makes sense according to what has gone before, and a general total destruction of the whole story line and canon.

I don't even want to complain about what they've done anymore. I'm done with Star Wars.

Yeah, sorry for the break in the rules and I will change that post when I can. Though I am glad that my suspicious were not unfounded based on what early review spoilers were saying. Ugh, either way I think I'm done as well. I used to be a hardcore star wars fan to the point of even reading the books in the expanded universe. Granted when it got to a certain point in the book series I stopped reading because it took a unbelievable turn but even then I overall liked about 95% of the overall written cannon material. I would have given episode 8 a chance even though after 7 I really shouldn't have (for just blatantly ripping off concepts from the original and mixing it with the expanded universe that they said was not cannon anymore). After all this I just feel like this cinematic universe is dead.

Kalmah- Those are pretty much my thoughts as well. My thing towards the Marvel movies was slightly different. I watched a lot of the older Marvel films before the first avengers though a lot of those were already turning pretty bad (Iron man 2 and 3 come to mind). What started to stand out to me, especially after Avengers was that Disney was using a formula for there movies a lot after they had that major hit. I slowly I noticed this formula especially since it involved a lot of one liners and other things. By the time the 2nd avengers came out I was annoyed with this formula. The 2nd avengers movie to me wasn't a bad movie or a good movie overall. I think that was a problem because it just had more of the same from the first avengers movie. So I guess from a creative point it was bad. Even the last thor movie, which thankfully I also got to see for free since I work at a movie theater, it didn't even feel like Thor. Thor use to be the character that was more serious and had the at least amount of funny moment yet in the last one there were funny one liners left and right which made no sense to me. The only marvel movies that I accept from being too bad now are the captain America ones but I think thats because his movies constantly have this idea of "am I doing the right thing?" which necessitates that there be at least be some character growth to a certain degree. His are the only ones that have consistently gotten better than the last while the others have either gone downward (Iron man series) or just bleh (Thor series).

One last thing, don't know if you agree but one of the things that motivated me towards a cinema degree was that I was getting tired of all the sequels and remakes Hollywood is making. It really shows a lack of creativity and also that such film industries aren't taking any risks and just playing it safe by trying to revamp old series, usually with bad results because of implementing SJW type in the movies (Star Wars, Ghost Busters, etc).
