  1. Why though it’s clearly still the biggest topic of discussion what else would we talk about. How terrible dumped in January is doing terribly like every year. The other is formally the world’s biggest franchise in a state of free fall
  2. I guess but Joker and Aquaman were definitely known characters whose fame started those movies on the front foot
  3. I’m so excited for him in the nfl he’s so good a generational QB plus the sunshine references are hilarious
  4. But the DCEU has risen from those ashes because it has a catalogue of popular characters. Joker and Aquaman doing amazing proves that, and it has already proven post Batman and Robin to be able to resurrect its franchises. I’m not sure Star Wars can do that
  5. Haha it was bit over dramatic but I meant it as my last word. Still home for the holidays and these cfb games suck so needed to entertain myself somehow I’m in my 20s so grew up in the prequel era as a kid and like all kids back then loved them and the OT. I know the problems with the prequels and do see them but will always look at them fondly for that reason but I do love ROTS and will rank it my third favorite. I was really into Star Wars as a kid read a lot of the expanded universe books and played the games. So when Disney bought it I was excited for more movies but it was bittersweet because I knew it meant the EU was over. I was excited for these movies and even liked TFA until I thought more about it. I realize a lot of people worked hard on these movies and cared but they for me are just bad movies that do nothing for the universe. They are unoriginal and uninteresting. But my biggest issue with them is what they do to the characters from the OT they make them all depressing shadows of what they once were. Like turning Superman into an Alcoholic or Batman into a murderer. I compare it to where the characters were in the EU and I’m sad. I’m happy you liked them but they’re just not for me. I’m not going to say something stupid like this killed my childhood or some other man baby line. These movies are what they are but I’m no longer excited for new Star Wars and that makes me a bit upset.
  6. Rian Johnson J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy have killed this trilogy and severely damaged the brand. They should be proud of their achievement it takes effort to fuck up this bad. J.J. for having no creativity and reboating ANJ and resetting all of our heroes and the universe to their original states to sate his nostalgia boner. But he did leave potential for future films, there was still hope here Rian Johnson for taking that hope and just murdering making a nihilistic movie nothing matters. Where our symbol of heroism is turned into an attempted child murderer then killed off. And all of the new heroes are wasted. Making matters worse the film breaks Star Wars lore and ends with such finality that there is no where to go. There are no hooks, nothing to excite fans for the next movie. It’s the film which broke the fanbase and made everyone else disinterested Then J.J. came back threw everything at the wall hoping something would stick but nothing did. Brought back Palpatine and in so doing made the whole plot of the first six movies irrelevant and pointless ( the final insult to the fans of the old movies) and ended the franchise with a whimper And Kennedy supervised this mess, letting a trilogy go forward with no story and let two directors give each other a series of metaphorical middle fingers in the forms of their movies negating the ones the other made. What a hilarious and heartbreaking mess.
  7. Hahahahahahaha under AOTC adjusted (even worse since that didn’t have 3D or IMAX) and people are saying these movies are better received than the prequels.
  8. They bought the thing in 2012 Force Awakens came out three years later they had a bit of time
  9. When you’re in a franchise you have to do that or you risk breaking the whole thing. Directors shouldn’t always be thinking of it but it damn should by a producers number one job so the biggest failure of this trilogy was Kennedy
  10. but that is passing the buck this was Kennedy’s responsibility but she allowed it to go to shit. No plan, director who gave each other the middle finger through their films. Firing nearly every director just poorly run.
  11. Game of thrones bump? How that one actor is in it? Fuck an actual game of thrones movie wouldn’t get a bump after that last season
  12. The difference is the prequels were at the very least very popular with kids, these aren’t check the merchsdise sales for proof, and were viewed as the end of the franchise there was nothing else coming. Disney is still planning more here
  13. Really? I said might, but after solo flopped and this semi disaster they have to be very careful or else they could kill it on the big screen. As the OS breaking and decreasing returns domestic in addition to the lack of future legacy characters, who drove almost all of the interest in this trilogy, makes whatever comes next very risky a few more TLJ esque missteps and what happened to terminator could happen here
  14. The older fans aren’t that hard to please especially since the baggage of the old characters has already been shot dead. The biggest complaints they had was how those characters were treated so poorly. With no legacy characters that makes it easier. Rogue one proves that and so does the Mandalorian
  15. I mean the Star Wars you like might have killed the franchise and definitely killed this trilogy so....
  16. If it does 485 which Charlie said was a possibility and with the way it’s collapsing overseas under a billion is a possibility. But is 1.02 that much better for TLJ I mean really it’s still a major disappointment. A JL esque catastrophe
  17. He might be the worst box office guy I’ve ever seen half of this forum can do his job much better and the other half can do way better. I mean really terrible
  18. Both can be true it opened small because of TLJ is sinking because it too is terrible
  19. Nah J.J. will be fine he’s the greatest hits album of directors he’ll just make another remixed Spielberg movie that will make decent money
