Nah, The Last Jedi was dope af.
You're damned if you subvert expectations and you're damned if you give the fans what they want.
Personally, I don't care what the fans want. All that matters is the artist's vision for the film; Artists with integrity ignore the opinions and wants of their fans.
There's having an artistic vision and then there's being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. If you're trying to argue that the meandering mess of TLJ and its contradictory character development is an artistic vision, then sorry to say, it's not a very good one.

This is what happens when you vote for a man and a government thats entire existence is to prioritise profits over people and vampiric capitalism. Congratulations, the funny floppy haired man scratched your racist itch at the price of being the country with the highest body count on the continent.
I don't want to hear the "never Corbyn" crowd and the buckfast Tories complain about a Tory government ever again.

I liked it. Definitely echo Fedorekd's sentiment that the middle segment dragged a tad, but a really solid show.
I would have liked to see a bit more development and revelation on the child and what it is considering the whole show is centred around him/her/it, but it's basically just used as something to accelerate the plot. Guess that's being reserved for season 2.
Also my boy Werner Herzog was done dirty. Get a mid tier actor if you're gonna kill him after 10 minutes of screen time.
Fight scenes and choreography is definitely where the show excels however.

Not only that, but GoT established pretty early on that there are real and palpable consequences within the foundations of the universe. Trying to apply that to the standard blockbuster formula or hero's journey just doesn't gel all that well because it's never been established that actual real world consequences occur. Imagine if in LOTR Gimley killed Sauron in the 2nd movie and the 3rd movie is about trying to kill Grima Wormtongue or some bizarre shit. That's the kind of fuckery these clown directors are trying to replicate just to ride that GoT gravy train.

Never really played the first one but what's with this sUbVErTiNg eXpEcTaTiOnS hard on in pop culture recently? Sometimes I think it's an attempt to replicate the game of thrones effect, but surely that's a prime example of how NOT to execute it.
What do you mean?
Examples?
Last Jedi New Terminator GoT* All of them had those "gotcha" moments that tried to be edgy and subversive but really just ended up being disjointed and incoherent. Also apparently Picard is taking a weird and wacky turn but I'm not a Trekkie so I can't comment. *Season 8 specifically.

I wonder if these same clowns who are calling for the lockdown to end would be chill having absolutely no health care because the hospitals literally cannot accommodate them. Yeah, lockdowns shit until your family members lungs are collapsing in on themselves you fucking space cadets.

>Americans will literally fight tooth and nail so they can remain being wagies for their corporate overlords during a global health crisis.
It's all so fucking tiresome.

The fatality rate is actually 3-4%, whereas by comparison yearly influenza is at 0.1%, according to the WHO. If you're going to be a belligerent ignoramus then at least get some of the facts right. The fact of the matter is we do not know the actual death rate (the figures we have are really just verified confirmations, a lot of government bodies are postulating that the figure is much, much higher), the long term health impact this will have, or really much of anything of this disease apart from the fact that it's highly contagious, and the most vulnerable people in our society are at the highest risk of critical illness and/or death. Yeah, they're people too believe it or not. So basing your entire conclusion of off "well it's basically just the flu, so we shouldn't be taking this seriously" and treating people as statistical numbers that hold no significance is quite frankly revolting, and borderline sociopathic. 200,000 people are no longer on the planet in the span of a couple months. There is no treatment, vaccine or cure for it, and your biggest concern right now is being too alarmist. Laughable.

t. seething mutts
The fact that Americans need to protest a pandemic so they can go back to being wagecucks is a testament to their exploitative parasitic system, not to "apocalyptic shills" or whatever other coping mechanism that reaffirms your confirmation biases.

Ben Shapiro said there is close to 0% chance of you dying from corona if you are young and healthy. It also hasn't affected Sweden much more than others despite keeping things open.
Pneumonia doesn't really care how old you are. And I think there's something critical that everybody is overlooking due to their insistence on "fixing" the economy back up to speed. All viruses mutate. Corona's death rate may not be staggering compared to other pandemics of the past, but right now what we're looking at is a lucky blow. What if it develops more lethal parameters? With a virus, these scenarios are all based on time. It's not a question of if, if it's a question of when. The more people that catch and spread it, the better chances it has to develop more virulent strains or make cross species jumps like the one that killed that tiger in the new york zoo.
We don't take this person seriously here.

Edit: It's not worth the effort.
Why lol. You pretty much openly admitted to everyone you have absolutely no qualms about the potentiality of people dying if it meant that the vampire capitalist wheels keep on spinning. Might as well at least try and defend your bizarre position.

I am getting sick of these bold theories outside the realm of reality.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/14/health/social-distancing-research-coronavirus-2022-trnd/index.html
The study researchers say they are aware that such prolonged distancing, even if intermittent, would likely have "profoundly negative economic, social, and educational consequences."
Let me translate this: This is fucking impossible and anybody in a state of authority that thinks this is feasible is huffing paint. This nonsense needs to stop at the end of May at the latest. This virus is only a serious risk to a percentage of the population and you can't let the entire world be held hostage by the idea of their safety. "Oh the poor 14% of seniors in this country who are at risk (not mentioning who will live if they get the virus)!" How about all 315 million people at risk of being jobless and having no money for food and shelter because we decided to save a fraction of a fraction of that? Force the ones at risk to stay at home and let the people who aren't going to keel over from even just the regular flu to move on with our lives.

"Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer"
don't know what that means but it sounds awesome
It's basically the oppositions answer to the British equivalent of the treasury secretary.

Labour are in a really fucking tough spot with their voter base right now. Metropolitan liberals of the South and London who are anti brexit, and the North who are pro brexit anti establishment.
They risk alienating either faction by keeping Corbynism or going with a Blairite due to the schism. Can't quite put my finger on Starmer but he's giving me British Biden vibes to say the least.

Boris Johnson has now tested positive for the virus.
The thing's infiltrating government now.

21,000 dead. What a fucking sobering statistic.
There's gonna have to be a memorial day dedicated to this or something when it's all said and done.

Nobody knows the reason why Italy is severely affected
There are two reasons why Italy is severely affected.
1) Italy has high standard of living, and a lot of people in their 60+ not only are alive, but can (and prefer to, because mentality to live life to fullest, to enjoy it) walk around freely, which worked in favour of infecting more people
Interesting. It's peculiar how Japan isn't seeing more cases than it's currently experiencing right now given their life expectancy and standard of living. Then again, they have the added benefit of living on an island.

Yes, I said Federal meddling wouldn't be productive, but I'm saying that in conjunction to what's already been done. I'm not blind to what's already been taken. I'm sorry but I don't see how the federal government can automatically do a more efficient job just because they're the federal government, especially with our current president. This country is so mismanaged and it doesn't exactly have a great tract record at being efficient, whereas I've seen states handle things in their jurisdiction with great skill. Granted this is a very new crisis that we haven't really experienced before but I still don't see how the states shouldn't have any authority on the matter.
Here's a question: Isn't Italy in the EU? What steps are they taking and if they are, why is Italy still piling up bodies?
My bro, you are the one arguing why federal government should not be involved in a nationwide health crisis. You've now jumped from "what good would federal meddling do" to conceding that the federal government is doing something about it. I'm arguing that they're not doing enough, and now you're trying to semantics your way out of this hole you've dug yourself into.
Gaslighting might work on your Liberty Hangout forums but it doesn't work on people with a brain. I'm not saying they automatically would do a better job, nor am I saying that states are to be left in the dark. Common sense dictates however that a federalised lockdown would almost 100% hamper the spread of the disease. Leaving it up to the states seems a bit counterintuitive and lazy. States do not have the same amount of authority that the federal government does, therefore it makes sense to hand more responsibility to the federal government in order to curb this thing. I'm really struggling with your inability to comprehend this here. I'm not sure what your question is alluding to or implying. Nobody knows the reason why Italy is severely affected, but what is certain is that the nationwide lockdown is starting to yield results, albeit slowly. The EU doesn't have much clout in the operations of individual member states because the EU and Italy aren't a singular country. The US is. Let me ask you a question, if Italy had left their individual provinces and city councils to their own devices to deal with this thing, would they be seeing better results, or do you think the virus would ripping through communities like wildfire?

Calm down Jesus Christ you’re embarrassing yourself over a simple discussion.
I never said anything about defying the law to go to work, you’re pulling that out of nowhere. Also throwing money at an issue won’t necessarily make it go away. Is this affecting the entire country? Yes. Is the federal government doing something about it? Yes. Should the state/local government do something to help in their respective states? Yes.
This is not a difficult concept. I don’t know what it’s like over there but here the state/local governments can do more for their citizens than just make petty ordinances. The way your arguing about this you’re making it seem like there’s nothing in between a huge national government and a neighborhood advisory board meeting.
At least, that’s how your coming across.
I swear, you yanks would have literal walkers roaming the streets and you'd still be like "I am a PROUD Trump supporter and I will gladly DIE on the job at Foot Locker if it means the federal government stays out of our lives!"
Federal government = more resources and better equipment to deal with national crises. State government pertains to LOCALISED issues, which is clearly not what you are dealing with here. I'm not even American and even I can grasp that basic concept. Why is this so difficult for you. My bro, you are the one arguing why federal government should not be involved in a nationwide health crisis. You've now jumped from "what good would federal meddling do" to conceding that the federal government is doing something about it. I'm arguing that they're not doing enough, and now you're trying to semantics your way out of this hole you've dug yourself into.
