I feel a certain internet-damaged subsect was drunk on its own success after running Lindsay Ellis our of Twitter and youtube, and needed another fix. "What other blue-eyed, soft-spoken young woman deals in pop and geek culture from a generally critical perspective? Jenny? Sounds good. Chaaaarge!"

Whenever I saw that very debunked rumour about jenny Nicholson it would usually be a 2 hit combo where they accompany it with an accusation of big Joel being racist against Asians but the evidence cannot be found

Zedd posted:Jenny seems to for lack of better term trigger a certain bunch of people in general. A quirky nerdy young woman that disagrees with certain opinions and legitimately does not care about it / greater nerd culture just seems like a betrayal to them. Jenny meanwhile just moves on to her next fun thing, the church plays, the themeparks, other movies she likes. i remember when a bunch of people were talking about how they planned to go after jenny next after lindsay ellis. some people just hate women online

Photoshopping 'evidence' of someone being terrible was one of Tumblr's favorite hobbies about five years ago. I mean, it still might be but these days I follow people who stay out of that poo poo.

The rise of skywalker making everyone realize that that whole trilogy was a stupid waste of time nobody should've gotten emotionally invested in was astounding to watch. All enthusiasm... vanished. Gone. It felt so all consuming, a loving all out war everywhere over how good/bad/woke the second movie was and what the third movie was gonna be and then rather than ending in a giant shitshow it's like we all looked at it and went "well that was stupid, huh" and the legacy of the star wars sequels is "somehow, Palpatine has returned." I don't think I can think of anything quite like it.

I'm just amused by the fact that Jenny seems to just be largely immune to the sort of internet drama those sort of creeps weaponize. It's like she's the Road Runner to the worst segment of Twitter's Coyote.

I think that's honestly one of the big reasons the Sequel Trilogy has mostly fallen out of the public consciousness: Because the last movie in that trilogy was such a dud it just kind of squashed any hope that the messier elements of the new movies could be woven together into a satisfying conclusion. An entire era of Star Wars movies got JJ Abrams'd, hard. The Prequels, by contrast, had a lot of their bigger mistakes in the first two movies but because of its positioning in the timeline it left a lot more room for plot threads to be picked up after the fact in supplemental material.

It's difficult for people to be invested into doing internet wars when almost everyone's reaction to the movie is just "lol".

I still don't really know how the sequel trilogy managed to kill all of my interest in the franchise. Once I saw Rise of Skywalker name and saw the synopsis, I just nope'd out and never looked back.

Jenny’s had other brushes with internet notoriety before becoming a youtube person iirc. Her sister was once an fyad notable. She’s probably been paying attention to internet weirdo dynamics for a while and has some practical strategies and psychological barriers in place.

The tanking of episode 9 and the success of Mandalorian Season 1 also kind of ended up spelling doom for Star Wars TV. Mando Season 1 is a lot of fun but there's a very notable shift when it becomes clear that Disney is investing in TV Star Wars as their new money-maker. Shows that were in production while all eyes were on the films ended up being great but series that were filmed afterwards have been mediocre to downright terrible. Andor is an excellent show that stands on its own and I like most of Mando Season 2 but anything outside of those first two Mando seasons and the shockingly good Rogue One spinoff has been absolutely dire. I said this in the thread-currently-at-war-with-Zack-Snyder the other day but the Kenobi TV show rivals Episode 9 for being possibly the worst piece of Star Wars storytelling that Disney has ever released.

Shows that were in production while all eyes were on the films ended up being great but series that were filmed afterwards have been mediocre to downright terrible. I think that actually touches on one of the big problems that has always plagued the Star Wars Expanded Universe: The setting is at its best when people aren't trying to tie it all together into a single, cohesive whole. Back when I was a kid, my favorite parts of the Star Wars EU were the super old licensed novels they put out back in the 80s about poo poo Han Solo and Lando Calrissian got up to before the Original Trilogy specifically because they were exploring new, interesting territory unbound by the shackles of a gigantic backlog of Lore that needs to be adhered to. That's kind of always been the major appeal to me about Star Wars - The cantina scene in A New Hope was always so magical to me as a kid because the characters just walk into this bar that's full of weird muppet aliens that all look like they've got their own story going on, but it never goes into details on who these weirdos are or what their deal is, it gives the sense that this is a vast galaxy full of adventures and stories outside of the one we're currently following. But then as the Expanded Universe went on it just increasingly ties everything that happens in the galaxy back to the same handful of characters, planets and factions - Every event in 10,000 years of galactic history ties back to the conflict between the Jedi and the Sith, every bit of unexplained magic is just The Force again, every alien species in the galaxy is based around the handful of character traits displayed by the one member of that race who showed up in the movies. That's why I was initially excited that they'd dropped the old EU from canon: It gave them a chance to wipe the slate clean and begin redefining and diversifying the setting, and at first it seemed promising. But (From what I've heard at least) the pivot to making Star Wars TV just led to the same problems as before rearing their ugly heads again, only more so because now it was all tied up in the franchise's flagship properties. Now to follow Star Wars you have to actually pay attention to what was previously EU content and everything has to tie back to everything else in this big mess of a continuity web. And the franchise again goes from a springboard of unexplored stories to something tedious nerds can write expansive fan wikis about.

To finish out the sequel trilogy, Disney really needed to hire somebody capable of paying off the plot threads set up by JJ Abrams in a logical and satisfying manner. Unfortunately, they hired JJ Abrams instead.Grondoth posted:The rise of skywalker making everyone realize that that whole trilogy was a stupid waste of time nobody should've gotten emotionally invested in was astounding to watch.

They should just lean into it. Follow some new guy who's just really into vehicles working in some space junkyard and then yank him out of that by minute 17 and put him in Jedi training with DeepFake/AI Luke Skywalker and Palpatine. Run it like the Arkham Batman series being unable to go one game without Joker.

Kenobi is what finally killed whatever hope I still held for the franchise in my shriveled heart. I have been told by multiple people that Andor is legitimately excellent and I just have no interest in watching it because I don't want to get invested in the next thing Disney realizes is popular and then runs into the ground in search of squeezing out yet more profit. Also it'd be the only thing I'd get Disney+ for and drat that poo poo is getting expensive.

Honestly what killed my love for Star Wars is just the whole franchise and fanbase is so toxic and bitter that it’s not even fun to talk about any more. I don’t want to hear how bad the last Jedi is any more. I’m over talking about it lol. It makes me mad and uncomfortable and that’s what every Star Wars convo seems to lead into. No one talks about the movies they like or the OT any more. It’s just how X ruined the franchise and how it’s all bad. No bitch you ruined it. Stfu
