I do not understand the comparisons people are making to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Yes, I know Disney owns both Marvel and LFL. But I have only seen a few Marvel superhero movies and I don’t understand what they have in common with The Last Jedi or possible Star Wars films going forward.
Someone please explain what the MCU has to do with Star Wars and/or why that’s bad?
To be fair, I brought up Disney’s 2011 Winnie the Pooh movie as a point of comparison instead. Some see a similar style of humor, interjecting awkward one liners into intense moments. I think that humor is problematic, but it is distracting to talk about the MCU as if it matters for arguing that the humor is bad here. I see a possible super hero trope at work here but I’m withholding judgment: where a villain arises essentially as a response to the existence of the hero (we did see that debate sort of in Captain America Civil War, and we’ve seen it in the DC universe).
Edit: As for whether any of this is bad is in the eye of the beholder.
