>Contrarians hating on TFA and falling for the "prequels are good" meme
>>
I love how people think prequels are good cause it had shitty politics and dumb character arcs. An attempt at depth is not depth.
>>
People just love being contrarians.
>>
>>64083787
The people saying TFA can compete with the OT are vastly more retarded.
>>
So many underage prequelshits outed themselves
And they still didn't realize that "prequel love" is just a meme
>>
If you use the word "contrarian," you're literally an idiot. It's an invented concept by idiots with childish sensibilities who are too fragile to deal with criticism of mediocre media that has widespread appeal.

It's a troubling manifestation of millennials' mental weakness. Seriously, the only people who would even entertain any "argument" involving the concept of being "contrarian" are weak, lazy idiots who can't deal with criticism substantively.

If it bothers you that much that people criticize mediocre mass-marketed work designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator, like Star Wars, Breaking Bad, pop music, etc., you should find a safe bubble and stay there. Or kill yourself.

People joining in on a meme is not "falling for it"

Besides the prequels were liked by many before pop culture referencing shows on TV told them it was bad
>>
>>64086618
3 is definitely better than TFA, which just seems like a fan-made movie. There's no artistry, just blandness for box office sake.

LOL, this is where I get off the boat. These fucking movies were hated, and the nadir was Attack of the Clones. You can't sit around and pretend the general public liked or enjoyed them because we didn't. The only people who did were six year olds. If you want to admit you were a small child with a shitty opinion who liked a bad kid's movie when you were in first grade, go ahead, nobody will judge you. Just don't revise history to satisfy your meme.
>>
At least the prequels had some balls unlike HEY GUYS REMEMBER THIS SCENE XDDD OMG SO NERDY AND QUIRKY

Also the score is fucking terrible, Williams really didn't give a shit

Prequels had a god-tier score I'd say it's even better than the OT

3 is a better Star Wars movie than 7, if you know what I mean by that

Go ahead and get your huge committe and Chad director and Disney budget to push out the most perfectly executed and technically impressive movie you want, that doesn't make it Star Wars

At least it's an attempt at something original. That's far better than a safe rehash money grab. Disney executives are literally laughing at everybody for buying tickets to see the same fucking movie

TFA was dogshit, prequels have always been based and hating them was a meme.

>>64086748

M8 Clones has a 60 something on rotten tomatoes and Sith has a 79. Clearly many people liked them. Something /tv/ should probably learn is that "worse than" doesn't mean absolutely in redeemable. The prequels are worse than the originals overall, but that doesn't make them absolutely terrible or mean that nobody liked them.

Your argument makes no sense. Shit is shit, good is good. Who cares if its original? Do you think any traditional clint eastwood westerns are original? They're not, but they're fucking great.

>>64086772

Tbh the score and the story in the prequels was better than the OT. Sheev's deception and the whole tragic fall arc was more interesting than the generic underdog freedom fighters vs giant evil tyrant stuff.
>>

/b/ actually you newfag
>>
>>64087000
That's not very good ratings ''m8''

and i'm not suggesting there's not things to be enjoyed in the prequels ''m8'', it's just that people hated them when they came out, just like people hated Batman & Robin when it came out but consensus has CHANGED. You'll convince no one that the public loved or even liked these movies when they came out, because we didn't. Because we weren't ready.

Clones is still garbage, it's just a bad movie. Menace and Sith are much better than their reputations, and there will never be movies like them again.

I rewatched 1-6 before seeing TFA.

The OT and video games made me a fan of the Star Wars universe. The prequels, although bad in a movie sense, were enjoyable to me as someone who was interested in the universe Lucas created.

TFA was not enjoyable in any regard. Failed as a movie and in adding anything interesting to the universe, although I did like the jokes.

Not far fetched at all to enjoy the prequels more than Abrams' pile of garbage.
>>
>>64087129
>really good

Not sure that it is.
>>
>>64087190

I did the same and feel the same way. I feel like a lot of casualfags just watched an episode or two, MAYBE, then went ahead and dove into VII. It's not even about Star Wars to them it's just another big budget sci fi flick.

No
Its not even a movie
Its a soulless toy commercial made for the self proclaimed "nerd" generation
>>
>>64087074
You missed my point. Taking a risk is better then doing a safe rehash. Sure good is good and bad is bad but watching the same movie over and over again gets boring. SW7 Is exactly that. It took no risks and was boring as fuck. That's why the Western died. People got sick of the same movie over and over again. I'd rather a film took a risk and failed then playing it safe.

Everybody was excited for the announcement, but it's a promise nobody can live-up to. And they want to Marvel-ize the Star Wars universe and look at how shitty all of those movies always ALWAYS turn out?

There's no artistry or passion involved, just boardroom directing and cost-risk analysis.

Just because you're a retard doesn't mean you can speak for everyone.

/tv/ is generally wrong.

They are the hipster of 4chan and will trash anything "normies" go and see en mass.
That's why they pull any reason out their ass like "Ep1/2 were better" or "its an extended toy commercial". You could say that shit about any big budget movie with 'cool' machines etc. Hell I had a big scale model of an X-Wing, TIE Fighter & the Falcon as a kid before TPM released.

Does that make the OT a toy commercial then because apparently it must have been.
Rule of thumb, if /tv/ hate it then it's probably a good watch.
>>
>>64087983
>these are honest opinions not in any way designed to trash TFA
Fuck off.
>>
>>64087983
I clearly state I was joining in on the meme
>>
>>64087190
It's very clear TFA is just a commercial exercise designed to have as wide an appeal as possible, all dressed in Star Wars clothing.

And sure, you can say "other movies are supposed to make money," but the circumstances here more directly point to widespread appeal and profitability.

The typical pleb/redditor on /tv/ now really has no recourse but the sad, idiotic "they're being le contrarian!!! the critics and pleb commoners all like it, so you all should too!!!11!" Pathetic really.

It'd be weird to be such a mindless consumer.
>>
>>64088042
you're right, big budget movies with cool machines are almost universally shit. are you 15?
>>
When it becomes contrarian to hate TFA we'll be right back to where it all started

You're all a meme
>>
>>64088156
>completely missing the point
I didn't expect any less.
>>
>>64088127
You can't deny that /tv/ generally has a habit of going against the grain like some weird last bastion of taste.

Perhaps it's a coincidence that generally this board hates anything that's popular. Hell I've seen Avatar slated here yet they all jumped on the bandwagon just to shit on TFA. Same with JW when TFA released. To deny that would be retarded.
>>
>>64088373
/tv/ liking James Cameron and disliking TFA are unrelated
>>
HELLO REDDIT
>>
>>64088373
Sure yeah but when you get past the memes I find genuine thought out opinions on why they didn't like the film. It actually happens really often in this board.
>>
>people are so pleb that even 2015 pleb as fuck /tv/ makes them upset
I can't believe it
You really must be lower than the average redditor or /b/abby to be made insecure by this board at this point in its life
