I can’t imagine having such a violent reaction to what’s basically the cinematic equivalent of a ride at Coney Island, but you do you I guess.

Perhaps I was being a wee bit hyperbolic just then.

But really, a random movie being bad is fine, and even expected. But most random movies also don’t promise to be the epic culmination of forty-three years of storytelling and mythic adventure for at least three generations. As a point of similarity, Season 8 of Game of Thrones managed to vaporize all the interest and goodwill built up over the previous seven seasons instantly, and TROS is GOT Season 8 on steroids.

Is it, though? There’s a good chunk of the population that very much enjoyed TROS. NOBODY actually enjoyed the back half of GOT Season 8.
