>Razorfist says that nobody hated the prequels until RedLetterMedia made the Plinkett videos
Do you agree with this sentiment?
100% wrong. As much as I hate RedditLetterMedia prequel jokes and prequels being shit on goes back to after it released in theaters.
>>71730984
obviously not, but I think RLM both popularized the arguments that most people use today to criticize the prequels to the point of being trite as well as kind of "explaining" to a lot of them why they may have been ambivalent about them in the first place if they didn't have a firm grasp of kino fundamentals
>>71730984
we were making fun of how stupid episode 1 looked from trailer one. i don't know who this faggot is, but who is he to rewrite history?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUkCJDkG3fg
Yeah, clearly.
>>71730984
No.
The prequels were bad. I was there, in 1999, in the movie theater. I was 16 then. It fucking sucked. The only really good part of ep1 was the pod race. The rest felt flat.
Eps 2 and 3 I watched on DVD. They fucking suck. Especially Ep2 is just BAD. Lucas just can't write romance. Ep3 is forgettable, just get it over with.
Ep7 I saw in the theater. It's ok. It really is far too similar to ep 4, but it's well made.
>>71730984
No.People disliked Ep.1 back in 1999.
>emotionally immature man that dresses like an asshole has shitty wrong opinions
If you look at rotten tomatoes, the contemporary reviews were decent. Episode III is at 80%.
>>71730984
No, and who is Razorfits?
>>71732285
The latest alt-right diva to make middle schoolers feel smart.
>>71730984
do you think he dresses like that on a daily basis? or is it just part of his "character"?
He looks like your average american school shooter.
I saw episode 1 in theatres in 1999. I was 12. I thought it was okay. All of my friends thought it was okay.
People who saw it as adults always hated it because it couldn't compare to OT.
Still though, I'd say the prequels weren't totally hated. Aotc was panned but a lot of people liked rots when it came out.
>>71730984
Nonsense, here's a recording of a man who was in the film, albeit in a small role, describing how crap it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0wHqNi3x5M
Sorry it's quite long, but let's face you're probably unemployed so what does it matter?
One thing you could argue is that there's an additional wave of people who should really have been too young to care inexplicably giving a fuck about them, but that doesn't mean they aren't shit films.
And here's Spaced, filmed in I think 1999, with a joke about how shit fans of the original films thought the prequels were: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUkCJDkG3fg
Essentially, this Razorfist bloke's either ignorant or contrarian for sake of it.
>>71730984
Razorfist is a fucking moron and he loves the types of movies RLM verbally destroys on Best of the Worst.
Like Death Wish 3 for example. This is why he hates RLM.
Why would you call yourself "Razorfist"? It sounds like a parody of an "edgy" name, but he's American so I know he's too thick for that sort of thing.
>>71732974
He's literally an edgelord, likes metal, wears those type of clothes, long hair, eyeliner.
>>71730984
Manchild tries to look like a tough guy, the picture
Is everyone here twelve or something? The prequels were hated by every single fan, and are the perfect example of "lol fuck you fans, we want a new audience now", everyone who didn't understand paid positive reviews and shilling pretty much learned about them with the prequels.
>>71730984
is metal the autism of music?
You see still see those faggots regularly. They have to be on the spectrum.
>>71733113
not if it features bjorn "speed" strid
>>71733081
I saw Ep. 1 as a teenager, and thought it was okay
I wasn't worried until I saw AOTC and saw that it fucking sucked dick compared to ESB
>>71730984
>over the age of 16
>still listens to metal
why is this allowed?
>>71732753
Sweet, haven't heard peter before
>>71730984
the truth is somewhere in the middle.
>>71733161
he should listen to grown up music like grimes and kanye west
>>71733113
The true autists are the idiot who dress and have avatars of skulls and shit.
>>71730984
Yes and no. The prequels were disliked, but because of shallow reasons like "Annakin was annoying" or "JarJar was stupid". RLM gave us valid reasons to hate them.
>>71732733
>children
>allowed to have legitimate opinions
>>71732733
You liked it because you were a child, i was the same.
>>71733113
I still like early Metallica and Sepultura, the real autism comes from solely liking metal and acting like everything else is for plebs.
>>71733161
>I only like grown up music like Radiohead Im sooo unique :3
>>71733361
>Sepultura
>>71733193
Because RLM were the only ones in the history of Earth to notice the stilted acting, terrible dialogue, ridiculous plotlines and overchoreographed duels, soaked in cgi.
>>71733389
>He's a metal connoisseur
>>71733378
Your post is a parody of nothing. Well done, retard.
who literally gives a fuck? you guys know youre all going to die someday right?
>>71733476
Hes just being an edgy contrarian as usual. Sometimes hes right, like in his MJ not-a-pedo video, but that's just luck of the draw because hes a contrarian about everything.
>>71733476
Ok George, but you're still here posting on this Cantonese circuit board diagram exchanging P.O. Box
>>71733459
Aww did my post hit a little too close to home? Radiohead are the pinnicle of "I'm 18 and I think I'm smarter than everyone because of my music taste" bands.
>>71733647
Not at all, mate. Being a snarky prick on 4chan is proper smart though, right?
>>71733378
>People who don't listen to Manchild: The music genre are automatically Radiohead fans
???
>>71733647
It's just music, dude. Don't be an autist about it.
>>71733647
This is some serious projecting
>>71733758
>Metal is Manchild: The music genre just because some autists who like dressing up also enjoy it
???
>>71733647

LITERALLY FUCKING WHO?
HE IS 100 PER CENT RIGHT.
I WAS THERE.
STAR WARS FANS DEFENDED THE FUCK OUT OF PHANTOM MENACE AND WERE EXCITED FOR ATTACK OF THE CLONES.
The audience roared when Yoda fought Christopher Lee.
Fans don't give a shit about story - they only care about lore.
Wat a lolcow._
>it's a /mu/ autists fight over their shitty taste in music episode
>>71731472
Was about to post this. Why is Spaced so underrated lads?
I was there. I was still on the fence until after attack of the clones. I was in denial that it was bad, until mace killed jango, he was so under used. My theatre was empty during ep 3.
You can always tell how old someone is just by asking them how they felt about the prequels.
I was6and saw episode 1 in the theater and thought it was kino. Everyone else in mykindergarden classloved it and I didn't even realize people hated the prequels until the Simpsons made a joke about it
As a guy who was born in -97 I basically "grew up" when the prequels were released. As a kid I remember rewatching New Hope ESB and Return of Jedi but never the prequelsthough my dad says me enjoying bits of episode 1 when I was a toddler. Of course as a kid I didn´t really think about why but now that I´m older the reason I didin´t watch them was because they were simply boring. I must have learned more about the prequels thanks to video games than the movies.
GODDDDD FUCKING SPEEED
>>71734037
Some of it has aged really bad senpai
Oh yeah about Razörfist. I think some of he´s videos are pretty good but some of the thing he does are pretty retardedlike reviewing Metal Gear Rising as a fucking stealth game. Plus he`s twitter is pure cancer involving this >>71732436 kinda shit
>>71731443
First trailer/teaser was great though.

>>71733161
you can be a normal human being and listen to metal. It seems to be rare, but it's possible.
People were saying Episode 1 sucked the same way people were saying Episode 7 sucked before Pinkett. However, most were defending both films by pointing out they made loads of money and by saying the trilogy isn't done yet.
>>71730984
Oh, is this a Youtube thing?
>>71731650
you try and get some taste at some point.
The idea of the prequels were cool, but Lucas fucked up by trying to make it both a family friendly venture AND some kind of Space Opera Political Thriller
I was 14 when ep 1 came out and can say the only things my friends and I liked were pod racing (mainly because of the pc game) and Maul.
>>71733389
>disliking early sepultura
>>71730984
>be 40 years old
>dress like a 1980s heavy metal fan
Why?
There are literally videos of people coming out of the premiere of Episode 1 in 1999 massively disappointed. Others are shown liking it, but there are a number who thought it wasn't good.
So no, that guy is full of shit.
>>71730984
I don't know who this faggot Razorfist is, but my whole family hated the Phantom Menace from the moment we stepped out of the theater. Even as teenagers my brother and I could recognize that movie was shit.
All the Plinkett reviews did is meticulously and systematically put thoughts into words and pictures to explain why so many people felt those movies didn't work.
GenXers despised the prequels. RLM was celebrated for explaining exactly why they sucked.
>>71730984
He's such a dickhead about black metal. Also he talks like such a huge faggot.
>>71732753
Thanks for this vid, anon, good stuff. Peter is based though I don't think I've ever heard his regular speaking voice. I always assumed he sounded like he does in Spaced and SotD.
>>71730984
LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD
>>71730984
This is OBJECTIVELY wrong. The prequels were a laughingstock in pop culture long before RLM existed. South Park, Spaced and other TV shows skewered The Phantom Menace. Razorfist is a smug faggot who probably huffs his own farts while jerking off to shitty glam metal.
>>71731443
We who faggot?
>>71736304
Because he's an overly nostalgic faggot who can't accept that the 80s ended.
>>71737758
Not that anon but I would guess "we" refers to Star Wars fans. Back in the early 00s every hardcore Star Wars fan HATED the prequels and relentlessly mocked them.
>>71730984
I disagree. The reason the plinkett reviews became such a hit is because RLM simply articulated why the prequels were complete garbage
>>71732285
some manlet who never grew up neither mentally or physically
Reminder Razorfist said he would make a video response to the Plinkett prequel reviews and he never did.
>>71737959
In his review of TFA, his best defense for the prequels is
>4, 5 and 6 h-have problems too!
>>71730984
Does he have the memory of a gold fish? I remember literally seeing disappointment on everyone's face the minute the first showing group left the theatre.
Does Razorfist suffer from some kind of autism? Either way, I like his verbose way of speaking.
Lucas himself minimized Jar Jar's appearances in Episodes 2 & 3 specifically due to the massive amount of criticism leveled at The Phantom Menace.
>>71737996
That's such a fucking lame cop-out. The funniest part is when people use that lame defense they never point out how the originals are as flawed as the prequels.
>>71738065
Shame about the rest of the film he forgot to fix.
>>71737996
>Your car is totalled, anon
>Yeah well the wing mirror on your car is broken!

>>71738065
The funny thing is Episode II is by far the worst prequel even though Jar Jar is barely in it.
Bullshit. I saw it in theaters. It was shit on the day after.
>>71737959
every plinkett "rebuttal" is absolute comedy gold

Jesus fucking Christ I remember when I was lurking this site as a minor, I can't be that old can I?
I watched a couple of his videos. I don't know about the hair, but he clearly wears the shades so people can't tell he's reading a script.
>>71730984
I started hating on the 2nd movie the second it ended.

>>71738491
You should've started hating it the second Anakin said "I don't like sand".
I hated the Phantom Menace since I saw it in the premiere.
Plinkett did not get popular crating animosity towards the prequels.
The reviews got popular by verbalizing and articulating in a funny way that we do hate them. They became popular because the prequels were hated already. They just said things people would agree with.
>>71734946

>>71738932
>They just said things people would agree with
Its almost like people like things that reinforce their own beliefs
whodathunk?
People kinda liked the first one, but the memeing had begun by the end of the second.
I actually think the prequels have aged pretty well. There's plenty of nice set pieces and the story is pretty well told too.
Like Warcraft, they suffer from a lack of clear characterization.
>>71739089
That can't be right.
More like Plinkett just convinced everyone without an inkling about how the movies were received?
Sure, that makes more sense.
>>71739156
>I actually think the prequels have aged pretty well.
What? The CGI in those flicks looks really bad.
>>71733879
>DUDE COPY AND PASTE LMAO
I remember people asking me about Episode 2 after it came out
I was one of the few people from my class who actually saw the movie in theaters and I remember telling people how it was fucking boring
Because it was a boring fucking movie
I remember the laughter during the Yoda fight scene in the theater
It was so fucking bad
>>71733361
>Early Metallica
Sorry bro Metallica peaked after they left the thrash metal behind.
Black Album and Load are greater rock albums than Kill em All and RTL were metal albums.
>>71730984
no dude I was 11 when the prequels came out and here were my reviews of the prequels
Ep 1: OMG DOUBLE LIGHTSABER/ Pod racing game was awesome
EP 2: TWO LIGHTSABERS AT ONCE OMG/ Yoda kicked ass
EP3:OMG YODA VS THE EMPOROR SO SWEET
that was it they suck and your head is up your ass /tv/ only cause force awakens sucked just because tfa was a bad movie doesn't make the prequels good all of sudden
also go team reddit
>>71737761
dude he probably didnt even live in the 80s
a lot of "metalheads" dress like this. of course most dont pull it off, but some attractive tall guys can pull it off.

> this episode aired 15 years ago
Fuck that makes me feel old but at least old enough to remember that nerds that loved star wars were not pleased with the prequels even then.
Was the Phantom Edit any good? I felt like a lot of what was wrong in Episode 1 could have been fixed by removing a few things.
>>71730984
Too young to have an opinion.
But I doubt it. The prequels have a way larger lack in quality than what would be expected by such a high profile IP.
And razorfist is a HUGE faggot.
>>71741865
He`s twitter is hilarious. He really is a right-wing nut
>>71734037
Its not under rated it had a cult following and it launched Edgar wright into a Hollywood director. Main reason is not more famous is because it's too good. It literally is too smart for American audiences, it's one of the best comedy's ever made with the comfiest irish and british comedians as actors.
i liked them because i was young and easily impressed.
>darth maul has a BLACK CAPE, and is MYSTERIOUSLY QUIET
>he has a DOUBLED EDGED LIGHT SABER
>it's cut in half and now he has TWO LIGHT SABERS
>he HAS HORNS
HO LEE FUCK
then i matured and realized they were bad. not complete shit, just bad.
i've never even seen the plinket reviews.
I cringed at the "This is tense!" Scene and the baby humor from Episode 1.
I laughed at Yoda's lightsaber duel in Episode 2.
Didn't bother with Episode 3.
They were shit. The reason RLM are famous is because people know they were shit. Confused Matthew's biggest review was about how much he hated The Lion King, and most people liked that movie so he didn't get that far as an eCeleb because he sounded like an autistic kid yelling at a rainstorm.
Even when I was a kid I thought episode II was crap. Same with Jurassic Park The Lost World. Obviously I wasn't highlighting plot holes and character inconsistencies, but there was a definite feeling that they were worse.
>fucking millennials
Of course you liked the prequels when they came out if you were a little kid at the time, and then proceeded to grow up on the internet and form all your opinions based on what a youtuber says.
People that were anywhere near adults and who were already fans of the OT hated the prequels. This is common knowledge.
>>71743180
I was 7 when ep 1 came out and i was bored out of my mind. The only part I liked was with the big fish cause that scared me.
Episode 3 is pure kino
>>71730984
Completely wrong. They were well hated before Plinkett, the criticisms were just never really articulated before then, outside of basic shit like "Jar Jar sucks".
>>71743439
Everybody was well aware of all the criticisms beyond "hurr jar jar", they'd just never been articulated as thoroughly and concisely in one place before. It's not like anything in the Plinkett reviews was a revelation; he simply spelled out what everyone already knew.
>>71740965
Load is basically a watered down version of Black Album and Reload even more so. St. Anger speaks for itself and Death Magnetic is a failed attempt at recapturing their roots.
>>71734235
nope
the robot designs were all shit and gay
the moment I saw to balls rolling across green hills, i knew the movie was gonna be shit and it was
prequels just fucking sucked
No.
I remember the prequels not being as fun as the OT, I remember they were just bland and sterile.
