Remember a few years ago when you would get banned from posting anything about “great replacement theory” on every large social media platform because it was a “conspiracy”
Calling TLJ “not real Star Wars” because it dared to challenge heroes and explore failure isn’t just gatekeeping, it’s missing the point George Lucas made for decades.
Movies for kids can still be for adults too.
My guess is if you hate The Last Jedi, you would have hated The Empire Strikes Back too (if social media had been around to tell you how you were supposed to react to it).
This is why Star Wars died because people with your world view were in charge of it. I don't know what reality you live in, but Star Wars hasn't given the fans "what they wanted" since Disney bought it.
Star Wars should be a cautionary tale to anyone in charge of legacy franchises. If you spend years treating your core audience like an inconvenience and telling them they’re wrong about what they love, no amount of “we’re giving you what you wanted now” will bring them back. Goodwill is not an infinitely renewable resource and once it’s gone, it’s gone.
Respect ALL the fans (not just the sycophants) from day one or cry over empty seats when the nostalgia well finally runs dry.
This was my biggest issue with AoT. After I watched the ending I felt like it was a betrayal to the fans because it was obviously a cop out. If Isayama had gone through with his original ending the series would have been S tier story.
Isayama finally admits Eren was supposed to go all the way with the Rumbling and leave no half measures. Just a fully justified patriot defending Eldia to the end.
But he backtracked and softened the ending because of Eremikasa shippers and global pressure.
This means Floch was right all along, so the ending defenders can finally shut up cope and seethe. They robbed us of one the greatest protagonists and satisfying ends to a story ever.
Remember when tech platforms basically nuked Parler from orbit for “facilitating” right wing violence?
Zero excuse for Bluesky not to meet the same fate
So the DOJ is arresting a US military member for trading on Polymarket before we get a single Epstein arrest, a single Somalian daycare fraudster arrest or a single Congressional insider trading arrest?
Seriously I’m so tired of this bullshit.
Wow, can't believe the CIA put the CIA person in charge of Virginia, where the CIA is based, then converted the whole state into a Democrat only state through democracy pushing propaganda, wow, really makes you think.
