I'm a big fan of Hbomb's videos, but he's a prequel defender and I can't for the life of me figure out why, because he seems to have mostly good opinions otherwise.

Hbomberguy is a goon who is right about many things, and I think his video where he makes fun of insane anti-feminists are funny, but holy poo poo he is sometimes so off. He loved that lovely overhyped space game that restarts in the end. You know the one. It was so bad, I can't even remember the name now. But he cined'ed some deep meaning from bad game mechanics and lack of direction. I myself don't hate prequels as much as some people do, but just lol at thinking that they are actually good films.

I tried to listen to Hbomb's defense of the prequels as entertaining(although not good) films and I just couldn't understand the points he was trying to make. Something about the Jedi being comically incompetent, it was just meandering nonsense by the end.

My only issue with his NMS take is his dismissal of the idea that the dev lied his rear end off in tons of interviews as "some people felt they were lied to". They felt that way because they were lied to. Overall HBomberguy is a force for good in this world, so he can like as many bad movies as he wants.

But he cined'ed some deep meaning from bad game mechanics and lack of direction. He made it his game of the year. He claimed it delivered on being a chill exploration game, wilfully ignoring that it was billed as so much more. I suppose if you had never seen a game in this oversaturated genre before (one that includes Minecraft, so even little kids are familiar with them), didn't mind all the pointless resource grinding just to do basic tasks that was shoehorned in, didn't mind that the gameplay features were so far from even being half-baked, didn't mind that the epic space battles shown way back in the first trailer failed to make it into the game and also didn't hear the blatant lies the devs were telling right up until launch, long after they could be simply explained away as cut for time, I guess it would be a kind of ok game. Spore was a better game than NMS. Jonas Albrecht posted:Overall HBomberguy is a force for good in this world, so he can like as many bad movies as he wants.

Han can't win the Falcon in the Kelsle run... because if he did his junk ship would have to be faster than the Falcon. Unless it's some dumb side bet thing. Hack frauds.

people hated the prequels long before rlm did a video, they didn't trick anyone into anything. but of course prequel defenders often talk down and say "you did not come up with your own judgement, you couldn't have possibly come up with opinions that are not mine on your own..." and then they can't figure out why people hate being talked to like that.

Thinking the prequels were bad goes back 18 years. Earlier if you count the Special Editions. The consensus was that everything past ROTJ was a wet fart. But that goes without saying to the point that I'm just typing to hear myself talk.

Good laughs having them roll through just about every dumb nerd Star Wars trope and stereotype that "Has to be there". Even as a kid I thought the prequels sucked. When you walk out of a movie you are suppose to feel excited because you watched something good. My reaction was pretty much that same as Krusty's Worker and Parasite. People keep hanging on to the Maul fight as a point of greatness but that was so bad and overly choreographed even compared to lovely Hong Kong Kung Fu movies which had the decency to look like they made contact. I know the guy who did it was some famous dude but gently caress I would be embarrassed for putting that out there.

What really bugs me about the prequels, more than literally anything else, is the lack of imagination. Sith are Bad Jedi, Yoda does lightsaber fights because Jedi are loving interchangeable, and it's loving stupid.

I was a teenager when I saw Episode I in the theater, so I was satisfied with the action and music and visuals. I thought Jar Jar and the kid were stupid, but they weren't the draw, and I don't think the plot even registered for me at the time. I walked into AotC pumped to see another Star Wars movie and walked out bewildered by how boring and nonsensical it was. I went to see RotS solely out of obligation to see it with the people I'd gone to the last two with. The prequels are a war crime and people felt that way about them when Mike Stoklasa was still making wedding videos. FuturePastNow fucked around with this message at 15:46 on Jul 19, 2017 |

So you've got this order that has been getting weaker over centuries, and they're really failing to do much more than damage control for the goverment they are supposed to be helping. What is the payoff to this scenario? If you picked "have it culminate with the badguy doing a lightsaber battle with a few of them right after uttering the magic 'you are evil now' phrase to the soldiers", then you really wasted an okay idea.

It ends with them fighting a war for three years that accomplishes nothing except consolidating Palpatine's power, and then getting murdered for their trouble.

If New Hope started with Obi Wan getting Han to smuggle the droids off planet without Luke, and then all of Luke's roles are replaced by Han, would that make Star Wars better or worse? You could replace some of the incongruous parts with Leia which would give her an even stronger role and make it a pretty good loving love story to boot. "Han...I am your father." "You gotta be kidding me."
