Spot-on analysis of the fanboy reactions to "The Last Jedi".


This blogger looks at all the "fanboys" raving about how much they hate "The Last Jedi", and does a much better job of analyzing their irrational responses than I ever could.

This is how the rational people see you, haters-who-call-yourselves-fanboys!

Why should people's response to movies be rational? πŸ€” Especially a space soap opera fantasy πŸ˜‚

That's a very oppressive and dogmatic way to approach how people interprate film... The StarWars fans/nerds/"haters" are not a monolithic group.... Why would we expect them to speak with one coherant voice?!

Everyone brings part of themselves to a new movie, each person has their own experience of the film... This is basic knowledge in film as well as literary theory... πŸ˜‰

That blogpost says more about the author than it does the Last Jedi detractors... 😎

I can tell by that url that that article is ridiculous. And I don't hate TLJ.

The article is about how 'men' don't like Star Wars? This is typical left-wing American bullshit.
Its not about gender. Its about plot holes, horrible story telling, horrible characters, destroying the Star Wars legacy and the OT characters (they even destroyed Leia, so how is that pro-women?).
Way to go! Just like Ghostbusters, as soon as you can't defend a movie anymore, just shout 'YOU ARE SEXIST' and you've won. Thanks 2016, 2017 and now 2018. What an era to be alive in.

So your point is that you have no arguments or facts at all and therefor try to mob fans. And hide that foul tactic behind the buzzword feeling. Do you really think that any one here is as dumb as an average SJW?
