PS:

Thora Birch in Dungeons & Dragons is 10 times more wooden than Padmé, and her lines are 10 times more cliché.

What does this have to do with anything?  Are we on originalD&D.com?  Do people care about the D&D movie (I assume this is a movie) like they do about Star Wars?

I'm pretty sure he just watched a new "Nostalgia Critic" video where he reviews that movie...

Oh gee... get a sense. This movie has been made fun of so often by so many already, and Critic wasn't even the only one to review it on tgwtg. Seriously.

Haven't seen it completely, but I've seen me some parts and scenes, and I'd say I'm content with that for now. It was just one example out of many - of movies that are at least as laughable as, say, TPM, but actually probably even more so.

And yes, the fact that this isn't a DD nerd forum is the whole point - people are getting too attached and obsessed with their favorite franchise (I mean specifically those who have serious thoughts about withholding the prequels from their kids, whoever they may be), and instead of shielding their offsprings from "bad movies", for whatever reason having to do with the "art of filmmaking" or "attitudes towards and perceptions of life influences" ruined by those films, you get "shielding them from the bad Star Wars movies so their Star Wars experience isn't ruined", and "they don't acknowledge the new films as true, because they're so bad they CAN'T be real SW movies".

Suddenly, a totally legitimate, even though still highly debatable motivation, becomes laughable nerdrage that makes the supposedly adult parents saying these things look like they're 12 or something.

Yes, they "care", that's the whole point... they care far too damn much.
