The Last Jedi

[Invisible Man]

NSFW: show

also.... not to like.... start anything? and mebbe being a white ass dood that has a decent income puts me on the wrong side of discussing Privelege, but..... i dunno. it feels like people saying BEN SWOLLO KEN REY-REY IS THE MODERN BOOGEYMAN BECAUSE HE'S THE EPITOME OF WHITE PRIVELEGE LOOKING TO DESTROY ALL NON WHITE blah blah might be..... reaching?

murp. mebbe that's just me.

It's a discussion already happening, and you aren't on the wrong side of anything for feeling some kinda way about being drawn in.
How you were born is not of your choosing, what you do is something you can influence. Cease marginalizing yourself.
How you actually treat others, especially others who are different & disagreeable, is a better marker of character than which side you're on or perceived to be on. Ideologues in particular are going to rewrite your story to their perception & prejudice.

What I'm seeing has grown to become common, for hot-button issue-oriented content to bludgeon the viewer with symbolism and plainly-stated messages, and where the messages don't exist or are ambiguous, they will be invented and clarified by blogging town-criers who perceive as such, regardless. It becomes yet another purity test.
Funny thing, how self-fulfilling prophecy works. Same goes for spite-marketing and related consumption. Life is interesting

It's more entertaining to see the contemptuous, slacktivist ideologue squander no opportunity to 'make some dramatic statement' and broadcast their virtue [or what they consider virtuous] as all the world is a stage, while making themselves look entirely petty and ridic. Off-topic yet relevant:

I don’t follow this. Are you saying SJWs got ahold of it and are shifting conversations away from where they should be happening?

No. I prob wouldn't have typed all that to make such a reductive point. Generally I also try to focus on accurately identifying the descriptive over spitballing the normative.
I posted:

-A selection of sloppily organized observations about ideologues [any extreme] attempting to co-opt and subvert popular IP, to use for pandering propaganda, while gaslighting anyone who is critical of this behavior. The authoritative similarities between proggy sjw and the ultra-orthodox right outnumber the differences.

-As [you] prev mentioned SW was a popcorn movie franchise. THE popcorn movie franchise. Now it's as if people are suddenly incapable of tempering their ideology and activism for 120 freakin minutes, yet somehow still suspend disbelief long enough to overlook glaring physical anomalies that leave STEM pros vexed, so everything that needs to go right for "the good guys" can happen. Esp frustrating in Sci-Fi.

-Tangental bemusement at the hills people choose for their graveyard while possibly cutting off nose to spite their face.

-Kind of a clusterfuck reply but man imagine actually buying JHS pedals, let alone to spite complete strangers

Gotcha. SJWs are shifting conversations to where they shouldn’t be.

Gotcha. It sure is obnoxious for hollywood to be pandering to fringe SJWs by cannibalizing & revising IP lore, and in the process propagandizing art & entertainment with tokenism, caricature & novelty writing that makes Gigli look like Hamlet.

It didn't even hit me that it was a brave move to do a black guy + a woman.

Hey now I would never bring Gigli into this. That is a gross mischaracterization.

Sometimes it feels like every damn film just has liam neeson or keanu reeves in it so something like TFA is like a green skittle in a sea of red skittles. I like all the skittles, but it's nice to get something a bit different now and then.

I really liked the movie, but what was with finn and rose and the power of love will save us? that was cornier than anything I have seen in the prequels.

[neonblack]

This is high quality shit. Worth watching to the end

[neonblack]

Oh Jesus Christ there are more of them. The second one is even better. There goes the next hour of my life

[Blackened Soul]

Ok.
So I watched the last Jedi.
All I can say if if you liked this movie I really think you need to find help, it means you have serious mental issues and are unsafe to be around yourself let alone others.

It was garbage

[behndy]

Star Wars is not that important to me any more, and the shitty Luke characterization is shitty, but i remember enjoying.... most of it?

I thought it was ok when I first saw it.. but having thought about it for a while, it was a real pile of shit imo. Just too many really stupid parts.

And yeah they fucked up Luke real bad
