I don’t mean people saying “It is wrong for you to like the new movies.” But I think people trying to say these movies are objectively bad is a form of gatekeeping.
Oh, okay, I see what you mean.
Yeah, while I think there’s some faults here and there with the ST, Disney has definitely recaptured the spirit of the OT, and there good fantasy-adventure films. I went in, expecting to hate TLJ, and found it to be really good, better than TFA.
I think that a significant portion of the extreme criticism of the ST is due to politics and monetized Youtube videos.
Some people exaggerate the flaws of TFA and TLJ in order to get clicks and subscribers.
Instead of objective film criticism, some is just pandering to tell people what they want to hear.
