Reboots.
Reboots in General are such an insult to intelligence. What a shame so many lap up recycled history just to enjoy a CGI light show. The little diddy tune "George Lucas Raped My Childhood" seems a bit less outrageous when you see the things that many of us loved as children for their originality and wonder, repackaged like day old donuts just to make a quick buck.
ts why I think things classified as nerd rage would be beneficial if along with the rage came a boycott. I really doubt that many who claim they are so upset wither favorite franchise new choices that are never going to buy anything again ever do. And sadly in America the only thing that really gets consideration is the all mighty dollar.
So when GL served up that latest SW DVD with that god awful NOOO in ROTJ, dont buy that steaming pile of shit. Of course not with Disney that probably would have even less impact then before. But regardless point still stands that any of these company would not walk across the street to piss on a fan unless it brought them in revenue. If you truly want to shape the direction of a franchise or pursuer its integrity. Then deny greedy corporate rapists the only thing they care about...money.
I also think if your the type to really feel strongly about something lie Han Shot First that you take some time to cut people that mock Nerd Rage down a few pegs and here is why. Nerd Rage has had some media coverage and dudes like Ray W Johnson have had some fun with concept on You tube. I am not attacking Ray or saying he did wrong by mocking. It his right and I am violently(metaphoric use of the word) against censorship.
BUT perception is a necessary thing in America so I think its important to explain what Nerd Rage really is and make sure its passed off as being nothing but irrational.
Some of it backed by voting with dollars, and numerous enough voices, can effect Corporate owner thinking as long as the outrage appears credible.
