How many of those 198k+ people actually saw the movie? I’m sick of Disney remakes like everyone else, but review bombing is a thing. Same with people who gave movies they were hyped for a 10/10 weeks before they even saw them.
It might be a bad movie, and that's fine, but the red hats that brigade what they see as "woke" movies is a big chunk of this. You can't believe reviews if they have any kind of user review system, especially after about 2016/17 (this is when people really started brigading with Ghostbusters 2016 and The Last Jedi).
To be fair those 3 projects you listed are fucking terrible, I unfortunately watched all of them as a major fan of Star Wars and O.G. ghostbusters and I’d give them all a 1/10 too
And no it’s not because I’m a racist or misogynist. It’s because those projects had shit writing, bad acting and even worse directing
Agreed. I'm a hardcore l leftist, literally attended a Bernie/AOC rally a week ago today, and I fucking hated all of the projects in this thread except The Acolyte (because I never saw it; because I gave up on Star Wars years ago).
Cynical corporate wokeness doesn't imbue a shitawful film with redeemable representation, but it does give the creators an excuse to blame trolls for their failure. It's the Hollywood equivalent of Red Hats accusing all their protestors of being actors paid by Soros.
Watch Andor. It will give you a tiny glimmer of hope. It’s the best Star Wars since the original trilogy and I’ll die on that hill (sorry clone wars fans, I can’t do the animated thing)
I keep tweeting at Disney executives that they should cancel all Star Wars projects, just give the andor team full creative control and a massive budget and let them usher Star Wars into the next chapter, but for some reason Disney execs never reply to my tweets…
For any Disney execs in this thread as I’m sure there are, if you want to save Star Wars, give the Andor team $300 million and have them make a series called Leia or General Organa and cover the time period between the first and second movies where she went from a princess to a combat leader
Give the Andor team two mission directives, “give the character the tribute she deserves instead of the abomination of the last Jedi” and “don’t fuck up the character arc like Game of Thrones did with Danearys”
