Star Wars. It's not perfect, and sometimes bad, but avoiding the fanbase gives me peace.
No one hates star wars / Trek like star wars / Trek fans.
It’s not easy, but you can like them both and still dislike the fans.
I find it extremely easy to like both and dislike the fans!
It’s the rule of 3! For both Star Wars / Trek, I only like 3 movies / series!
Which ones? [Hehe...]
I’m old school. For SW it’s the OG trilogy all the way. For Trek it’s TOS, TNG, and DS9!
"All 'jedi' had was a bunch of muppets."
Yes and the imperial legion was destroyed by a bunch of muppets with hand made forest weapons and log traps!
I actually liked the most recent star wars movie. there I said it.
I desperately hope you don't mean episode 9.
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but damn, do you even like the rest of it? Or other sci-fi and fantasy in general?
The absolute disrespect of not bothering to try to create a coherent world in episodes 7-9 was staggering.
If a piece of media's plot or storytelling is a bit meh, that's forgivable, but when you're just straight up not bothering to think of the logistics or established rules within a fantasy/sci-fi world? Please no. Please stop.
Or at least be writing something supernatural where there are barely any rules and you can hand waive whatever you like.
I'm not the biggest fan of 9, I liked the mandalorian movie
Ah, I haven't been keeping up to date! Shall check it out :)
Not in love with all of Disney star wars, but Andor is hands down the greatest Star Wars I've seen, so I'll forgive them for the rest of the stuff I don't like as much (not including Star Wars episodes 7-9, straight to jail)
I just couldnt get into andor, and I say that thinking the best star wars movie is rogue one lmao. it was just a little bit too much talking for me.
I gave up on it midway through season two, maybe I'll give it another shot now that xmen 97 ended its second season
I suppose we just enjoy different things about Star Wars then, for me it's all about the world building, and seeing how characters act within it, the battles and action are just a climax to everything else (I feel this way about all sci-fi and fantasy).
Not saying you only watch it for the battles, but I do mostly watch it for the talking haha
It's why I still very much enjoy the prequels, despite them being pretty shoddy on the plot (Anakin's fall could have been written soooo much better written it hurts. Probably would have needed an extra movie to really sell it though. The Clone Wars TV show episode where Tarkin and Anakin meet for the first time was great if I recall correctly. It made kinda make sense why Anakin bought into fascism in the end.)
To me there's no such thing as a food sci-fi and fantasy without politics (in the sense that there's some disagreement which motivates people). More trade disputes and blockades please, less holdo maneuvers that break existing rules of the world. The holdo maneuver would have been great to destroy the Death Star with some Kamikaze X-Wings jumping to hyperspace through it...
The battles, to me, are only interesting if one fleshes out the world and the political disagreements.
I once started watching a Chinese fantasy show (was learning Chinese, and like sci-fi/fantasy) and it opened with a 10 minute battle, no context. Immediately turned it off, like why do I care, show?
The Mandalorian and Grogu or Rise of Skywalker?
mandalorian.
I like that one as well. It's cool to watch Mando do PG John Wick stuff, Rotta the Hutt was a surprisingly chill dude which was neat, and that part in the middle that was all puppets was a lot of fun to watch. Babu Frik was (in my opinion) the only good part of Rise of Skywalker, and the other little dudes in Mandalorian and Grogu were just as fun!
The fucks a grogu

That's not a baby yoga that's a glug shitto
