[QUOTE="wicked cool, post: 7304937, member: 85714"] Not sure why we shouldn't expect a good movie. For the most part I love Disney . Problem is people are accepting bunk and calling it good maybe my argument should be clarified-character backstory should have been used instead of advancement I know almost zero about all the new heroes and yet in a new hope I knew a ton about almost every major character we get nothing on any character except they fit a stereotype as an example I got more character background on John wick then most supporting character in rogue 1 and almost every character in awakens/last jedi Disney has put a reliance on me to read the comics on why threepio has a red hand or how phasma escape the compactor and yet for a movie like Thor etc the give me a backstory or a flashback on lots of stuff (thor 3 and the Valkerie as an example). CCs-why were the odds 50/50 at best. We have a beloved franchise owned by Disney where expectations are high. they have known since at least awakens that a)-we as fans ( I would include young fans) want answers on who snoke is, how rey is doing whats shes doing etc. There was a lot of heres a lot of middle finger at fans during this (flet like new director didn't like the old director ) b) events to make sense. I expect the mythology of the universe to be stable. I don't expect Batman to shoot lazer beams out of his eyes , harry potter to have super human strength or professor X to swing from webs. Jedi in my opinion breaks these rules c) I expect lighthearted laughs I just don't expect them in what should be tense circumstances d) I expect romance/tension/love to build even in my Disney cartoons not out of the blue I would argue that return of the jedi is far superior even with the ewoks to last jedi from memory -all better Plot- space battles places visited secondary characters- tension-better fight scenes ending acting bad guys creatures-if you hate ewoks fine but the Sarlaac and rancor are better then the foxes/birds Would love arguments to contradict me romance-better big reveals-better [/QUOTE]
