millenials think the prequels are genius and the originals are overrated

This is not even a little bit true.

Of course I’m generalizing a lot, but that’s definitely the “rethinking the prequels” generation, i.e. “What can we pretend the prequels succeeded in by using everything but the films themselves as evidence.”

All squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares. Most PT apologists are millennials because they grew up with them (though there are older ones who can’t get past the George’s vision BS) but most millennials still realize the PT is shit (as do most people).

Me and all my friends grew up with the PT. Most of them have a soft spot for it, sure. Not a single one considers it even close to the level of the OT. In fact, I haven’t met a person in real life that prefers the PT since I was on the playground in the sixth grade.

Also, I think many don’t realize that the millennial generation is usually considered to start early to mid eighties and end mid to late nineties. So a lot of us (me included) saw the OT first anyway.

No I understand. Just kind of poorly phrased on my part.

Get this serious discussion crap out of my Gen-X thread. The point of this thread is to celebrate us and mock you.

Jeez, Millennials are trash. We live in a world with automatic dishwashers anyway, all I had to do when I had my cereal this morning was shove the bowl into the dishwasher and forget about it.

So much entitlement.

Er, you have to put soap in and push the button too.

Eventually.

Oh well FORGET THAT. Who wants to learn the value of doing your dishes?
