Eh. The problem is still the quality being absolutely shite. The Boys is a pretty decent example of it. The creators aren't even subtle about how hostile they are towards certain folks and even make their disdain focal points of the show, and yet it still enjoys mainstream success. I wouldn't give that much of a shit about Star Wars being a vehicle if it wasn't also such a boring and lifeless IP nowadays.

But when it's clear that stuff is all you had to offer, and why you got the job in the first place, it's absolutely fair to criticize all of it. |

They're pretty openly anti-conservative. But it's a good show so i don't really care that much. There's an occasional eye-roll when they lay it on REAL thick, but it's otherwise entertaining so whatever. |

Disappointing. I watched the first couple of episodes when it came out, but lost interest and never went back. I was considering giving it another go, but not now. **** 'em.

I kind of respect it in a way because they're so openly hostile. While Disney has mostly stuck to the blueprint of a passive aggressive snivelling attitude towards their agenda pushing (if you don't like _____ you're racist/homophobic/misogynistic etc) The Boys creator outright states his dislike and tells you to **** off if you can't cope. Fair enough.

Though I do think it's MUCH easier to just look past it than it is some of the Disney stuff. |

Also why I don't really understand the push back Filoni gets in the thread. At the very least, he's actually got a proven track record of producing Star Wars content that's watchable and entertaining, even if he doesn't bat a thousand. Kathleen Kennedy has done nothing but torture murder beloved series.

Imagine going back in time 20 years after Attack of the Clones and telling people Disney acquired Star Wars and butchered it so badly that Hayden Christensen reprising his role as Anakin/Vader is one of the few things anyone gets excited about anymore.

I'm not impressed so far with this. The destruction of the coven compound, as depicted, is ridiculous. Quote:

I'd be interested AF to hear Carrie-Anne Moss talk about the show, though. Maybe those "unspoiled" eyes are part of the difference in perception of the heavy-handedness of the intent. And I'm saying... it's weird to see some of the freakouts in this thread about "LGBTQ IN YOUR FACE COVEN!" when all we saw were a few subtle moments that indicated that those two members were lovers/partners. Without any dialogue about their love, or finding each other, or having to run away to be together, or anything other than the casual reveal the Zabrak carried two obviously human girls and the human woman manipulated the force to create them. Isn't that the type of depiction of unexpected love/partnership we'd prefer in media in general, when it isn't a love story? You see a couple of people do a few small things that make it clear they're "together" but it isn't discussed unless central to action on the screen or set up of the story. Kind of the opposite of SHOVING IT IN OUR FACE, no? |

Am I the only one that thinks Force Awakens is the worst of the three movies? Sure, Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker are both horrible abominations of Cinema, but Force Awakens is the movie that completely ripped away any semblance of a happy ending the OG characters had and assassinated their characters.
Han and Leia are bitterly divorced geriatrics that completely failed as parents and Luke is a complete pussy that abandoned the galaxy to its fate and went into hiding with no intention of being found. That's on top of it being a damn near 1:1 recreation of A New Hope except with far less interesting characters. |
