[QUOTE="fanboy2000, post: 5796350, member: 19998"] Makes sense to me, but let me answer a question: See, you originally said "To anyone whoever says they weren't bothered by the prequel trilogy, I send this link..." Your next post went on to imply the video contained an objective argument grounded in logic when you said "He doesn't just say the plot doesn't make sense. He explains why and in what ways it doesn't make sense." And that's what I find weird. Because the prequel trilogy's flaws, seven years after it's completion, are well known. The movies have been dissected, its parts labeled, and every element of them catalogued. Anyone who still likes the movies after all of that probably isn't going to be swayed by yet another argument that their bad. Also the idea that anyone who like the prequel movies would be swayed to not liking them by popular opinion seems odd given that it hasn't worked in the 10 plus years it's been since The Phantom Menace came out. I suppose, if our hypothetical fanboy [i]just now[/i] started to want to be one of the "cool kids" it might work, but that number is likely a small subset and such a fanboy could be turned by efforts much less than a 70 minute video. Of course, it's not weird to say that there's a funny and insightful review posted on the web. But you said [i]a lot[/i] more than that, and I wanted to respond to the other stuff you said. FWIW, I did watch a video today. But it was The Phantom Menace, and I still enjoyed it. :) [/QUOTE]
