I hate popular things.

Solonoid · April 11, 2016, 01:37:53 PM

The Hunger Games
Game of Thrones
The Walking Dead
Breaking Bad

All of which I acknowledge are, or probably are quality, but I can't get into them.

Too many people shit their pants over this stuff, and its not so much that I don't want to give them a shot, its that I don't want to associate myself with the retards who go crazy over it, because frankly most of them are missing 99% of the artistic value, and I just know that listening to them talk about it would piss me off even more if they were gawking about it for all the wrong reasons.

It's part of what makes liking Star Wars so hard these days, nobody fucking gets almost all of the deeper meaning of the stories. Even the producers are missing most of what made the OT so great.

So a bunch of pseudointellectuals are ruining the philisophical aspects of the stories that have defined our generation with half cocked pontifications on art.

Philistines.

I must agree with this, and it's why I'm sitting with a bad taste in my mouth over all my favorite things. I don't want to be a hipster, but when you can't have any meaningful conversations with a fellow "fan" why bother? Everything you talk to them about will either fly over their head or you'll come off as an obsessive creepy fanboy.

Getting more into the Star Wars subject, it is noticeable because there was a lot of subtext to it, even the Prequels for God's sake had a little bit of it, now I thought VII was good but all it did was just copy/paste the story of IV and give more of what the (and I hate to use this word) casuals wanted.

"You want more lightsabers? How about a hilt fucking MADE out of it?! More crazy explosions? We'll give you the Death Star 2.0! Hey, remember how everyone loves R2 and 3PO? WELL WE GOT BB8 TO JOIN THE TEAM!"

No subplots about where the current state of the Galaxy is, I didn't even know there was a Republic until half way through the film. No sun-stories being fleshed out through the MC's story, Han had his own problems and Luke just happened to make them more intricate, same with Leia. Here in VII, everybody just kinda revolves around Rey.

People who watch Breaking Bad for the action probably miss all the subtle symbolism, parallelism, and foreshadowing that's constantly taking place.

Verbatim · April 11, 2016, 03:31:51 PM

Star Wars is objectively shit--especially the OT.

There are no deeper meanings in those movies at all.

I have actually come to expect an explicit lack of understanding of the classical hero's epic from somebody so out of touch with humanities as yourself.

Probably, but it's also a fair point if you have a bionic hand.

Imagine getting sand grains caught in a joint

If you wore trousers and sat on the beach, you'd probably still get sand in your arse.

I know he didn't as a kid, but I'm sure he had the robohand when he was talking with padme.

ye he doesn't get the robolimb until the end of the movie when dooku cuts off his arm

After that he is shown marrying padme on Naboo and he has his golden hand, but all of their lovey dovey shit where he bitches about sand happens directly following the failed assassination when he, uh, 'guards' her body on her trip to Naboo.

Anyone who says they like the prequels more than the originals are either just mad that Mr. Plinkett was right, or they like the negative attention that comes with being a contrarian.
