After spending a year writing a story with 3 female leads, I can't even put into words how personally insulted I am by ignorant comments like that. Writing good characters is hard, but you have to try even harder to look at the cast of TLJ and handwave away poor fanfic writing riddled with the worst tropes by claiming all of the criticism is sexist. There aren't even Olympians who can do that kind of gymnastics.

Daisy Ridley is cool but her character Rey might be the worst female character in modern film in a long time. AND IT WOULD BE NO DIFFERENT IF SHE WAS A HE BECAUSE THE CHARACTER DOESN'T EARN ANYTHING

What do you mean when you say TLJ was written like a poor fanfic? I hear many people say this criticizing the film but give no good explanation.

The only part of the movie I can say I disliked was Fin's adventure. Everything else was a solid 8/10
Read More ...

Finn's story arc appears to be written to turn him from a coward who only wants to run from the Empire First Order, to a Rebel Resistance fighter who wants to fight "for the things he loves". Decent premise that falls on its face because it takes up the entire second act/middle of the film and it's completely pointless to the overarching narrative. All it does is set up a few cheap scenes that have no real payoff for any of the characters involved:

-Who is the codebreaker? Who cares, here's some random character instead, but you shouldn't trust him because he's gonna betray ya! Yep he does oh well you messed everything up. **** you Maz for sending us here
-Is Finn actually gonna have some character development? Nope, he gets saved by some girl he just met who suddenly loves him now
-Who is Rose? Who cares she dies...no wait she has to hang around because Reylo ship is happening and a love triangle would make things awkward
-Who is Phasma? Toys. Phasma is Toys

Then you have Luke - the established character - who is easily bested by Rey Sue and reduced to a shadow of his former self, almost as if there weren't already 3 movies that showed him grow into a good character. Nope, let's throw that out the window to make Rey Sue look better. And there's Emo "I wanna be like grandad but suck at it" Ren, who is also bested by Rey Sue after a series of scenes written entirely to appeal to the tumblr shipping crowd. Kylo is - at best - a decent character who is rather obviously portrayed as a tortured soul. His arc is held back only because he is filling the role of someone who has traditionally been more intimidating in Star Wars. On the other hand, Rey hasn't earned the audience's investment because she doesn't earn any scene she is in - it's simply handed to her. That is the epitome of wish fulfillment, which is one of the biggest mistakes in fan fiction. Because the whole trilogy revolves around Rey, and pretty much every character's actions lead back to Rey in one form or another, and because Rey has not earned that position due to how effortlessly she overcomes every obstacle thrown at her, it earns the poor fanfiction label. That's EXACTLY what amateur writers do when they create new characters in established franchises, and Rey is no different. That's not even mentioning characters like Poe and Hux, who are walking cliches.

The sad part is that it's a watchable movie because it's decently made and interesting enough to give you some new eye candy before you have time to notice how stupid it is. For me, I was literally in the theater halfway through the movie wishing I was watching Rogue One instead. When the lore involves reskinning the Empire into the First Order, the Rebellion into the Resistance, all of the ships into slightly different looking versions of the previous ships, and the whole "fighting for what's right" storyline gets regurgitated all over again, all the film has left for it are its characters. And these characters are DOG.
Read More ...

I liked it the first time I watched. Second time after I had watched the Force Awakens, not so much.

One thing that is just bizarre to me is that TFA goes out of their way to show that Finn doesn't know how to pilot a ship, but in TLJ he is shown piloting multiple ships, and he was in coma between the movies so he had no time to learn how to fly

Dream training man. Rey used the force to enter Finn's dreams and teach him how to fly.

TFA was just a shitty wish fulfillment version of A New Hope. I don't blame Rian Johnson for ignoring everything about it. I blame him for making an even worse movie.

God, reading this makes me realize how stupid using the Force is now. The latest trilogy made certain of that with how self aware they are about it.

“But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you."

“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."

-Jesus Christ

"A murky, forgotten land. A place where souls may mend your ailing mind. You will lose everything once Branded. The symbol of the curse. An augur of darkness. Your past. Your future. Your very light. None will have meaning, and you won't even care. By then, you'll be something other than human. A thing that feeds on souls. A Hollow. Long ago, in a walled off land, far to the north, a king built a great kingdom. One day, you will stand before its decrepit gate. Without really knowing why. Like a moth drawn to a flame. Your wings will burn in anguish. Time after time. For that is your fate. The fate of the cursed."
