The PT is not really the problem. The SE is. If the SEs never happened and then we got the mediocre PT that we have now, then fans would just be arguing over how and why the PT sucks, but cuz the SE is there, we argue about the whole damn thing and it's only further divided the fan base.
When you really look at it, the SE is what totally fucked everything up. If the PT was bad, you could just ignore it and focus on the OT, but since the OT is tampered with, you can't really ignore ANYTHING. The PT goes with the SE anyway, not the OOT, so it becomes WAY more complicated.
Shit man...what a way to treat your fans!!! Divide them and watch them squirm. I SOOOOO want to flip a booger in Lucas' face.
