Everyone’s favorite scene in TLJ was when Leia gave Rey a medal that said “Best Jedi Ever.” Truly amazing moment.
yeah because that’s exactly what i meant
Well then I guess I have no idea what you meant, like usual.
Are you kidding? Sometimes it’s like you people don’t want to even acknowledge the other side of something despite Collipso being pretty darn clear.
It becomes less and less fun coming to this part of the forum when it feels like an echo chamber of shutting down criticism of the ST.
Equally frustrating for us on the other side who see people repeatedly saying the same tiring stuff that has little actual connection to the film I know we’ve all seen. I would write out a well reasoned refutation to Collipso’s post, but I’ve already done that many many times, and at this point it’s starting to feel like I’m just talking to a brick wall with some people on here refusing to criticize the movie on its own terms and instead parroting the same old no matter what I say. The echo chamber comment has no basis in reality.
No, what you’re encountering is people who have a different take on the film and an opinion that’s different from yours. Your mistake is in thinking that your interpretation is the “correct” one and that it only takes a bit of logic to get others to agree with your perspective.
I have no desire to convince you that I’m right. I just like arguing about this stuff. Some of us accept that the debate will never end and continue arguing anyway because that’s what angsty nerds do.
If you want to state your opinion (because that’s all any of this is—opinion) without rebuttal, write a blog post and turn the comments off.
It’s not about convincing people I’m “right.” It’s about actually debating the film on its own terms and not making up stuff/imaging things and misplacing focus on irrelevant factors.
I don’t think TLJ is a perfect film by any means. But I’ve yet to see much of anyone on this site actually address the film in a critical manner that makes any sense. I guess my mistake is going to discuss a SW film on a SW forum and expecting something resembling critiquing the film from its perspective as a film and not just fans getting bent out of shape solely about its place in the canon.
