I think it's curious you're blaming JJ but when that the best idea Rian had for FN was to send him on a pointless sidequest to Bespin 2: Capitalism harder and go through the same character beats as he did in TFA, and just generally wasting the character. Also kind of funny that the heroes of the rebellion save the semi-sentient horses but leave the human children to slavery.

I'm not saying JJ is without blame in this catastrophe, he gave the NT a rough start with his obsession with mystery boxes, but at this point I'd say they both share a significant portion of the blame for the sorry state of the franchise

they are both at fault for different reasons. rian did have some good ideas(luke, kylo,rey and snoke) but he hosed around to much and the structure and the story of the movie were weak as gently caress. JJ has a much better idea of your standard star wars movie, but he is unable to go beyond that and he made the same mistakes twice. he needed a good writer and disney didnt deliver. disney should have had an over arching plan of where they wanted to go and they didnt. so now they have a mess.



holy moly what a loving prick.

Rian Johnson made the best Star Wars movie since Empire and left off with a perfect set-up for a finale, it’s not his fault Disney and JJ then decided they needed to spend half their movie directly responding to Reddit threads

No you see StarWars movies need to stop rehasing the original trilogy but also TLJ is terrible because I can't easily guess what the final movie will be beat for beat based on its ending.

RLM's review of ROS seemed fine, I liked the term 'passive progressive' to describe the blink and you'll miss it gay kiss. Felt like they went really easy on JJ though, not sure why 'JJ was put in a bad position' excuses the poo poo awful plot but the same consideration isn't extended to RJ when he had to explain why the gently caress Luke Skywalker was hermiting it up on planet nowhere while his student went around killing his friends.

Eyepatch Wolf talks about Final Fantasy VII, specifically why it became the epoch marker in jRPGs it is. Somewhat indirectly he touches on some reasons nothing has truly displaced it as such.

Great video that definitely highlights a lot of reasons why the game's so great. I really hope the remake does it justice.

so... the counter jockey owns the store, i guess, and isn't just clocking in for a check?

e: like i think y'all are mostly just trying to justify this because, for some ungodly loving reason, the mcelroy brothers have brainwormed everyone into treating them as sacred cows

if she'd been yelling at the actual snake oil peddler and not just the person they hired who presumably just wants to pay their drat bills, sure, but i'm pretty sure that's just some random cashier.

its good to mock and harass people who sell literal snake oil to desperate people, even if they dont make a lot of money.

if the guy is psychologically scarred by this experience, maybe he should just take some cbd oil to cure it

i just really don't see this as hugely different from, like, going into a hobby lobby to scream at the cashiers about how it's a fundie store run by human garbage, or going into a chick-fil-a to call the employees homophobes

you're not wrong, but you're also being a huge rear end in a top hat to people who are several steps down the food chain from the part of the company you're mad at, who likely can't just pull a job out of a hat and are working there because it both pays money and would willingly hire them rather than because they want to be part of the problem

even if the employee is in on the grift its not like spending 15 minutes arguing with him and posting it on twitter solves anything, its a move that only exists to prop up your own ego, esp. when the tweet is framed so much on 'my wife is such a badass look how much she's owning this employee' and not using your platform to maybe spread a warning about grifts like this

idk it just reeks of using the real victimization of autistic people as a prop for internet good guy points. which is a lesser crime than selling cbd to people under false pretenses but still doesnt make me think well of them
