I know I’m going to get shit for this, but eh, LFG.   We are a box office forum. We talk about Avatar excessively because it’s the biggest box office film of all time.  Most of the other places on The Internet TM do not. For the General Audience, this is a sequel to that cool movie from 12 years ago. To Nerd Culture, it’s the sequel to the movie they love to mock and meme. And James Cameron did most of his best work in the 1980’s, which is like asking Gen Z to marathon TCM. There isn’t

I know we're in the middle of Oscar Talk, but since I just caught up with the thread, I want to swing back to something that was discussed about an hour ago.       As a not quite charter member of Wait For Boxing Day To Really Say, but a strong subscriber to the newsletter, I understand this comment.   I really do.   At the same the world is a *LOT* different now than it was in 2009.   We've all listed the reasons, but one major thing that isn'

Speaking of SW guys, did the Disney trilogy make you appreciate the prequel trilogy a whole lot more?.

It did with me.

Yes. The Disney trilogy was awful and the worst, whereas the prequel trilogy was great and the best. But I thought that before the ST came out iirc.

I mean the orig trilogy is levels about the other two trilogy's, but yeah i went from being a bit meh on the prequels, to actually quite liking them.

AOTC will always be a bit of a poor film, but i can still watch it for the action.

I love Star Wars. I love all Star Wars. OT, PT, ST. All of it. I think that while Andor and Mandalorian did more to open the world than ST, I am extremely glad that the ST happened and that a whole new generation is growing up with Rey Skywalker and the ST characters. Is it perfect? No. But I think rosed tinted glasses and nostalgia go hand in hand with Star Wars since the 70s. It’s about giving the new generation new mythology to follow, and in that I’d argue that the ST was way more successful than PT because even if flawed, advanced the story and mythos further.

Ah shoot, some schools are out this early in the US?

More juice for Avatar 2: schools start Christmas breaks on Monday per Comscore, with 41% K-12 off and 77% colleges. That jumps to 82% K-12 and 94% colleges off by Friday.

Don't you guys ever get tired of talking about which Star Wars trilogy is better?

Yeah. I do it like once every other month and get tired of it after a few minutes. Then time passes and I’m not as tired of it anymore. Pretty normal human behavior I think.

I’m going to regret flipping to OUT on that club I think 

 

(with the silver lining being it makes a certain other club more likely :popcorn:)

OT story is boring just like the ST. Still way better than the ST because of plot execution, not being a rehash, better characters but it doesn’t really interest me in terms of themes and setting like the PT

Nah, though I do find the prequels' semi-rehabilitation through memes + nostalgia fascinating. If mostly undeserved.

I guess another way to say this would be that for me:

PT is tactically bad but strategically good

OT is tactically good but strategically bad

ST is tactically and strategically bad

 

Spoiler

Various shows are tactically and strategically good, beating all 3 trilogies handily
