^ Someone’s opinion on the film (Maj0r Lee) - has some decent insights and viewpoints that haven’t really been delved into much before (which is somewhat surprising - given the endless repetitive nature of debate on TLJ).
It also addresses some of the criticisms of the film - which is a strange surreal watch (and humourous), given the claims and emotions by some of those criticising it (mainly vloggers & youtubers etc - whom seem to be the people being referred to in the title of his video).
so i finished watching it, and it was indeed humorous! i had not seen any of the videos he ended up taking some parts of and ‘countering’, and wow are those people angry and mad for some reason.
it seemed as if he was trying to paint all critics of the movie with the same brush, as if we’re all like those couple of guys from the videos he put in his video, and we’re definitely not all like that. i think it would’ve been better if he took parts from one of David Stewart’s videos, for example, and countered his points using actual arguments, instead of just strawmaning all of those really emotional responses from those guys he actually ended up putting in. granted, given what several of them were saying, strawmaning was almost necessary.
the first 15 minutes or so of the video are basically him presenting his opinion on several aspects of the movie, and i think i disagree with him in about 90% of the things he said. i also don’t think i “didn’t get” some things that those that don’t like the movie theoretically didn’t get. for example, i picked up the reference to “you changed your hair” from TFA, and i did get that one of the things the movie did was to, in a way, destroy (or change) several of the things we valued in Star Wars prior to it. i’m just not sure i like it.
