Waiting for Star wars 14 where the series becomes so bad it's good and I can talk about it on that wavelength until then I'll just stick with fast and furious, Expendables, john wick etc when I want to have fun talking about bad media

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 grew up watching the original trilogy in the early 80s and by the 90s I was regularly attending Star Wars fanclub meetings (in person in an actual building, this was before the internet) and going to Star Wars conventions and we were all so goddamned excited for The Phantom Menace and then it came out and I went "Oh, the new Star Wars isn't for me" and drifted away from the fandom. I got rugpulled by Star Wars nearly a quarter of a century ago

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.

In the most recent Expendables one of the stock adobe premiere fire effects came in front of a leg it was supposed to be behind, I was playing commander at the time and wasn't giving full attention to everything but there was considerable schadenfreude laughter through the whole thing

As for fast and furious, I think Patrick (H) willems has a couple gushing 30+ minute essays about why he loves them

Fast and furious starts as a Point Break for car bros but the criminals are just stealing DVD players and then the sequels scale up the crime until the newest ones are James Bond but stupid (Complementary). They whip. Vin Diesel earthbends a man to defeat in one movie.

Didn't they do the same thing to one of the Vinesauce people?

Yes, they went after Vinny. However as my brother brought up to me at the time, "It helps that they were stupid enough to craft a "smoking gun" email sent during a block of time where Vinny was clearly streaming. Like come the gently caress on". It was a very incompement attempt at character assassination and content creators like Mandalore realized they were being played.

I mean yeah. I don’t disagree. And I have no loyalty to the brand of Disney. I’m just a fan of Rian Johnson and his work and it was real weird having him be in the center of this global wide fandom meltdown

For the record I don’t like anything Disney’s been doing with the franchise pretty much since Mando 2. Andor being the only exception.

They heavily promoted a mandalorian episode stating that it was necessary watching before the movie, it would transpire baby yoda healed someone with the force in that show which would explain why rey could do that (it's likely the force healing power was forced onto the TV show because there was no precedence for it, and they realised people could nerd rage over why rey could do it)

That man also gets invited to the barbecue in the next movie despite being introduced (apparently) killing a member of Vin's crew. Fast and Furious is live-action anime.
