Why are the guys who literally popularized the somewhat justified meme of mercilessly shitting over every single aspect of the prequels giving such a pass to TFA, a film just about on par with them?
>>64120285
stop it you fucking retard
3 threads are enough
>>64120285
They're old and beaten, at this point they'll accept anything that gives them some resemblance to the originals. They are blinded and beaten down beyond. It's like being in a disapointing relationship and just taking whatever comes next because it is differnt than before, regardless if it isn't even objectivity better
>>64120285
The prequels were terrible and TFA wasn't terrible. WOW THAT WAS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND!
>>64120285
I don't understand how anyone that has watched any of their reviews could possibly be surprised that they liked TFA.
Don't worry, Rich will eventually write another Plinkett review and make his monkey dance and perform it for the masses.
>>64120285
rlm are popular now and if they and to keep raking in patreon bux they conform to mainstream opinions
>>64120439
Rich doesn't write the Plinkett reviews.
>>64120380
>Disney pushes out one big budget rehash of the OT with lack of explanation all over the place
>Bravo, 10/10, finally some good special effects, what I've been waiting for
>>64120487
Rich was literally the genius behind the prequel reviews.
>>64120521
Nope
>>64120285
who?
>>64120439
>rich
>>64120285
Because they liked it.
If you used the same method of "analysis" they used for the prequels to TFA the result would be the same.
Everything can be nitpicked to death if you want
>>64120285
In all their critiquing of George and the prequels, their proximity to the complacent side of the Force has swayed them
>>64120500
>mike loves it
>jay likes it
>rich doesn't like it
D-disney shills at it again!
>>64120608
Rich liked it. Didn't love it but thought it was fine.
>>64120285
>always shit on corporations and Lucas because he wanted to monetize one of his products
>proceed to start a Patreon, sell every shit they can think off like glasses with their "logo"
hypocrites
>>64120380
the prequels were terrible in most ways and ok in other ways. TFA is terrible in most ways and ok in other ways. TFA does some things better than the prequels, but the prequels also have qualities TFA doesn't have. It's not fair or reasonable to totally eviscerate one set of movies and give a soft review to the other. It all comes down to what's fashionable and what opinions are 'safe' to express publicly.
>>64120639
That's because he was scared of upsetting Mike.
If you watched the Pre Rec where he reviews it he absolutely tears into it.
>>64120285
if TFA would be exactly the same movie it is now but written/directed by Lucas they would hate it and you know it
>>64120667
They ripped apart the prequels because they hated the prequels and didn't rip apart TFA because they enjoyed TFA. This isn't terribly complicated.
Probaby Disney pay them to like TFA. The marketing department is full of old guys out-of-touch so they think internet popularity = real popularity. Besides, buying the RLM guys must be really cheap
when you mess with the colo, you get the claw
Because the prequels are some of the worst movies ever made and yes, that includes some 80s italian b-movies or shit like that.
>>64120679
That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
>>64120721
Did Disney pay for all of the the almost unanimously positive reviews?
>>64120571
>haha, RIGHT, so you're going to tell me this girl, who's barely flown in her life, is doing advanced tricks and maneuvers flying the Falcon, gives Han tips on how to fix it, and gets Chewie's unadultered loyalty and friendship as the end as his new copilot just because
>Jakku, totally not Tatooine, how creative
>oh RIGHT like you can just mind trick someone without having ever done it before or been taught about it, or resist force mind reading, or beat out a trained opponent force pull, or just close your eyes for a couple of seconds, think about "the force" and go into full Jedi mode HAHAH right
>Right, like the Falcon just so happens to be where these two are and Han and Chewie just so happen to pull them in LOL
>wow, ANOTHER DEATH STAR?? ANOTHER EMPEROR?? Totallyyyy not the Empire either, and a not-Republic and not-Rebellion?
>yeah right, Finn and Poe making some kind of "lasting friendship" after 10 minutes of interaction, how believeable is that? At least we know Disney's behind this one
>pretty pathetic how they tried to rip off the Cantina as well, how did they get Luke's old Saber? that fell into the gaseous mass of Bespin
>soooo this new Death Star has to suck in a sun to power it up? and it's stationary, what happens when they don't have any more suns?? It's a big useless piece of shit that was exponentially more expensive than the old Death Stars while still being just as vulnerable, ANOTHER reactor weakness and bombing run, really??
>Leia's acting is so stony in this one, and that ciggie voice
>why does the new Rebellion look like a multicultural club at a liberal arts college, LOL
>only X-Wings on a bombing run, really??
>what the hell's with Rey's expression and that awkward scene at the end LOL
>>64120521
>genius
>>64120285
they were always dickless JJfags
>>64120794
Most critics aren't actual fans of Star Wars. From a purely movie perspective, it's a decent film. Good effects, decent pacing, cool scenes.
From a Star Wars perspective, it is a useless, non-cohesive hunk of rehashed shit.
>>64120831
They don't look at things this autistically in depth in their half in the bag reviews. It was literally a "we just watched the movie, here's how we feel about it" video. Wait for the plinkett if you need your specific opinions validated
Please take your RedditLM circlejerk elsewhere.
>>64120571
You just made my point for me. He nitpicked the prequels to death with a derisive attitude/tone of voice yet went very soft on TFA and overlooked all its dumb plot points and character development.
>>64120709
No fucking shit, the most unnecessary post ever
>>64120887
>admit the movie is good
>still act butthurt that it wasn't ripped apart by friend simulators
>>64120984
>implying this thread is necessary
fuck off saganfan
>>64120984
Considering OP and numerous faggots in this thread don't seem to get it, it's the only useful statement in this entire thread.
>>64120880
I thought they shitted on JJ for what he done with Star Trek, or the Plinkett review did
their anti-lucas bias is the most obvious thing in the world. They even add clips making fun of him into their TFA review because 'le Star Wars never needed muh Lucas everyone else did all the work lol'.
>>64120285
TFA serves the same purpose as Star Trek '09, which Plinkett thought worked for what it needed to do. How could anyone be autistic enough to not understand they would have the same reaction to TFA that they had to '09 Trek?
>>64121086
Nah, they always praised JJ's direction. They bashed the script.
>>64121007
>Admit
I'm not praising it. It's not hard to have JJ the king of Generic Visceral Rehashes with a King's budget push out a decent sci fi flick
They were entrusted with adding something of value to the Star Wars saga and they didn't. They played it ridiculously safe in almost every way possible, other than trashing the story lines of Luke/Han/Leia, which should piss any real fan off.
>>64120521
Stoklasa created the plinket reviews. You can't hear his voice?
>>64121059
No you're interpretting OP's post wrong, leading you state the obvious
>>64121086
he always praised JJ
even in Into Darkness
in the Plinkett review he literally says that he liked the redesign of the ship because it looked more like Star Wars and since there are "infinite universe" in canon who cares if now everything is different
then they go in SW prequels and complain about things don't feel like "Star Wars"
>>64121287
What, do you think Mike writes everything? Rich probably writes more than Mike, he just doesn't appear on Camera that much.
>>64120285
They've been waiting 16 years for a film to come out and validate their tastes in the eyes of the general public. What were you expecting?
>>64121442
Yeah it's what the wiki says. Rich Evans portrays the character, Mike wrote him and voices him.
>>64121442
Nope. The Plinkett reviews are 99% Mike.
Rich is a cuck
>>64120667
Prequels had originality and a stronger score. That is literally it. Even giving them originality is extremely generous considering the original ideas in them are fucking pants on head retarded shit that George shat out of his fat ass without anyone's feedback.
Mike is a genius
>>64121644
RETARD ALERT
>>64120653
Source it for us, please
>>64121616
tfa is still terrible though tbph
>>64121613
Why?
>>64120285
Rich said on Pre-Rec that if it's terrible they'll make a fuck load of money compared to now. Liking it makes them less money, and Rich said the worse thing would actually be if it was barely passable or just a bit bad.
>>64122175
What? How would RLM make more money if TFA sucked? This makes no sense.
>>64122250
>how would another plinkett video railing a star wars movie not make them more money
Use your brain next time.
>>64120653
Why is logo in quotations? It's their logo for their brand
>>64122296
But they could do a scathing Plinkett review regardless of the movie's actual quality
>>64120653
>RLM are hypocrites because I don't understand things
Sure thing, anon.
>>64120831
>caring about internal logic in what is ostensibly a fairy tale
Guess what, small seeds don't grow into massive beanstalks and you can't use a woman's hair to climb a tower.
>>64122373
You realize the plinkett reviews were popular because they appealed to something very present in the community. Mike wasn't trying to capitalize off angry nerds, he was an angry nerd.
Mike liked TFA. Now I guess you could still plinkett it like Star Trek 09 or Titanic but those doesn't really have the same impact because they aren't overwhelmingly negative like the Star Wars or even the TNG ones.
Either way there could be a plinkett about it, but Mike isn't gonna pretend it's prequel tier to make a 'better' plinkett video so they'd make more money if it was bad.
>>64120521
Rich is functionally retarded, he's not the genius behind anything
>Hating prequels must mean you loved TFA
Why do Lucas shills keep parroting this shitty meme? TFA was bad but it was still leagues better than the fucking unwatchable prequels
>>64122508
There's still a set of rules and logic JJ needed to abide by. You can't see planets from billions of miles away in SW
>>64120285
>implying that I'm not shitting all over both of them
>>64122566
The series breaks its own rules all the time. This is Star Wars, not Star Trek; internal consistency with regards to its "science" doesn't matter.
>>64120285
Their trade negotiations with Disney went well.

Do you LITERALLY believe these two dumb shits were the first people to hate the prequels? How fucking underage are you?

>>64122409
>omg producing merchandise to monetize our brand is totally different than big corps making merchandise to monetize on their brand!
>>64120469
Except everyone who likes RLM are a bunch of cynical manchildren that want TFA to be bad so that Mike has an excuse to make another Plinkett review
>>64123530
Is that so wrong? As it is, TFA is not goid enough to deserve all the praise it gets and not bad enough to be mercilessly dissected and satirized in a Plinkett review. It's just another over-rated blockbuster like Avatar or Avengers.
>>64120831
Han and Chewie were activly looking for the MF.
>>64122175
red herring
if its not too bad they can justify their 'totally unpaid' positive reviews of it by a billion dollar multinational
>2015
>thinking disneys marketting department are unaware of plinkett

This is the reason. It's called lacking perspective.
They admitted to literally recording their review at 4 AM because they couldn't get tickets to a screening before midnight. Since they actually looked like it, I believe they were telling the truth. So they made a video without any distance, and while slightly sleep deprived.
>>64120794
Disney own those critics, one way or another. It's a huge media empire with influences by stocks or sponsorship
>>64120285
Because they don't want to give away the Plinkett review
>>64122565
nothing as entertaining as Sheev in TFA
>>64126426
you think paid reviews are a conspiracy theory?
>>63698890
Some people can't be fucked to check a thread every single second of the day
>>64120285
>TFA, a film just about on par with them?
Its very well possible that he is saving all of his fodder for the actual review, and he hasnt seen the other episodes, so he cant really see everything as a whole yet.
Or maybe he just liked it.
>>64127504
>"I loved it."
quote
there's no negative review for something you love. he made the prequel reviews because he hated them.
