Star Wars is space opera. Which is much classier than YA.

 

Leave and don't come back.

[Chewy]

I'm wondering when space opera got classy. I guess when Channing stuck those wolf ears on

[WrathOfHan]

I guess the prequels count as YA, but the OT? Ehhhhhh

dont you guys just fucking cringe everytime some loser movie blogger asshole uses that sound and fury signifying nothing quote to describe the most recent superhero movie or whatever like they're being fucking witty. saw a post here lay it on mad max and it was like holy christ sparrrree me.

 

I can't help wondering if something that holds me back from being a professional writer is knowing that at some point I'd be forced to fall back on tired, meaningless references like that to fill up space.

If Marvel can get away with making the exact same movie over and over again indefinitely, I don't see why the YA formula would suddenly burn out.

 

YA has angsty white teenages in love triangles.

 

MCU has talking raccoons, talking trees, shrinking men, Norse gods, supersoldiers, sorcerers, African kings, aliens,  superpowered female soldiers, etc. fighting villains who can bend reality.

 

It's not called Marvel UNIVERSE for nothing.

Luke was supposed to be like 19 right? It's got all the hallmarks. Coming of age story, love triangle, parental drama

Yeah, you could make a case for ANH, maybe Empire. By Jedi I couldn't see an argument.

Jesus, The Fifth Element. Awful. Almost as bad as The Professional.

I really don't get that film's appeal.

In a post-Harry Potter world, as long as teenagers are reading something, studios will keep making movies out of it

Eh, I think YA and I think high school, or just some kind of school-type setting.

The OT is called YA to troll SW fans who think SW is much better than that genre.  There was an amusing big back and forth about it awhile back.

 

And I think The Fifth Element is kinda cool lol.  Its the movie the Wachowskis ended their careers in trying to make.

YA = Young Adult.  No one is HS is an adult, young or otherwise.
