I don't really see Hbomberguy being particularly contrarian for the sake if it. Like most of his videos aren't exactly hard sells, with his most contentious stuff being mostly argued badly by alt right idiots. Like saying Sherlock, The Killing Joke movie and Fallout 3 are bad, DS2 and NMS are okay and Bloodborne and Braid are good aren't exactly hot takes.

I think people call him a contrarian because he thinks Dark Souls 2 is better than 1 (honestly I can see how someone would have that opinion, though, even if I don't) and the fact that he likes Batman v. Superman and the Star Wars prequels. Nothing else is all that controversial.

The Star Wars prequels are very good because they introduced the best character, Ratts Tyerell, better known as "that guy in the pod race who makes a funny noise before running into a stalactite and dying".

Honestly as bad as the prequels are at least they settled with 3 movies there rather than going "3 movies and also another prequel and a Han Solo movie and a Boba Fett movie and a Jexter Dexter movie and-" *collapses face first into a massive pile of merchandise

I'm just tired of Star Wars.

yeah disney is going to milk this franchise into the ground, its no surprise lucas regrets selling to them. at least when there were just six movies and that was it there was a certain amount of like, credibility to what was there. people cared about the prequels being bad because they constituted half the franchise. these days its already impossible to care about any individual star wars movie as its own thing.

The amount of push back TLJ is getting over pretty much every mildly interesting thing in the movie makes me think Disney will just stick to remaking ANH again and again like they did with TFA and R1 until it stops making them money.

I hate it, the idea of a Star Wars movie as batshit as Book of Henry is so enticing. Suppose it'd probably be more on the Jurassic World side of things, though.

I expected too much from Disney to double down on the war aspect. You see hints at the lovely aspects of the rebels with them assassinating civilians, you get to see the extremist insurgents but they're onscreen presence lasts all of five minutes, and you even get Jedi weaboo expats but hell if I could tell you either of their names.

Like a lot of Disney films it falls flat like an inch from the goal.

It would have been better if they went with the original plan of Jyn being a member of the extremists but apparently in the current state of the world having a protagonist who is basically a terrorist was too dangerous
