Forbes: ‘Star Wars: Rise Of Skywalker Is The First $1 Billion Bomb'
share
HAHAHAHA!! TROS is the Batman & Robin of Star Wars! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I like reading some of his stuff but that Forbes guy is an absolute TOOL sometimes especially when he gets on his SJW highhorse lol
Basically he's annoyed that TROS retconned a bunch of stuff from his beloved woke TLJ (which he considers the best SW movie) and he considers it the worst movie and wants it to bomb. ok TROS should've made 1.5b in keeping with increases of the previous 3rd SW movies after the dip of the 2nd but TLJ turned alot of people off so really TROS was kind of damage control so 1b isn't too bad.. and did it recon TLJ? really?.. I mean yeah ok bringing back the Emperor as the big baddie felt kind of contrived/out of nowhere but it was kind of hinted at he was beyond death in Episode III and its not like he wouldn't have a forceghost (and even makes abit of sense thematically.. he was the "phantom menace" in the PT, ruled the galaxy in the OT, and then became a literal 'phantom menace' again in the ST - with each 3rd entry being his main 'reveal').. and Rey being related to him kind of made sense as she's just so fuckin powerful and was even foreseen by luke in TLJ (plus the shock reveal of being kin of evil monsters is what SW has always been about), and Ben being redeemed after his Kylo murdering madness was in keeping with Anakin/Vader(like it wasn't going to end like that anyway), and Luke being 'more Luke' well hed died and now realised he was being an ass in TLJ so...
The entire ST was a retcon of the OT, each film of the ST was a retcon of each other. Bringing back the Emperor (with absolutely no hint or proper set up and no reasonable excuse for his return even being possible) was not only stupid but also completely undermines the entirety of Luke's and Vader's story. It is absolutely insulting to anyone that is a OT fan.
Sith do not have force ghosts; that is a Jedi thing only and not all Jedi become force ghosts. The saga was the SKywalker Saga, not the Palpatine sage; making it all about Rey and Palpatine at the end fundamentally changes that.
Rey being related to palpatine does not excuse in any way shape or form how powerful with the force she was without training. Palpatine trained for dozens of years (maybe hundreds) before he could say shot force lightening; Rey learns it on accident. Rey being the granddaughter of Palpatine might have worked if she had been trained since a child and then had some more struggle with the darkside; but neither was the case. Making them related was a lazy attempt at retroactively justifying her incredible hyper-super powers; but only a viewer that does not care for story very much will accept that justification. Everyone, no matter how much potential they had, needed years of training before they could use force powers in anything other than a passive way (such as enhanced reflexes); well everyone until Rey that is.
They really did not ever give a proper 'reason' why Kylo turned evil and was obsessed with Vader so they retconned that by saying 'it was Palpatine filling his head with voices'. And his redemption also came with out reason. What, he 'loves' Rey or something? Stupid. Vader was torn between his mentor/father figure and watching his son die. That was a powerful moment. Kylo/Palpatine did anyone feel anything for this or for Kylo and Rey?
Luke in TLJ vs TROS was not the same character, another retcon
Quoth the Retroblasting: "DOESN'T MATTER!"
shareLol at how mad he was in that video....
shareIt was goddamned epic!
shareIt was actually a little embarrassing....
shareHMMmm.... what is it that you are talking about? :o I obviously missed something..
shareA Youtuber who lost his shit at people who like the Disney movies and was frothing at the mouth because he got trolled.
shareDo JohnMcCock only have to search "Reteovlasting" on yourtube to find the video?

Well, obviously JohnMcCock doesn't know the whole story behind, so I am missing details. But from was seen in the video, he does become a bit too mad during the second half of the video, and it a little but... "pathetic. However, he is not totally wrong: some Star Wars fanboys are really a bunch of whiny little bitches.. People have the right to be disappointed by the new trilogy.
sharePeople can be disappointed, sure. But it's clear he gives way too much attention to people trolling him. It's also clear he didn't fully understand the plot of the Disney films. Lol. "Why did Luke leave a map behind if he didn't want to be found?" Um, Luke never left a map behind....
shareThey had a plot? lmao
shareNo the Phantom Menace was Qui-Gon.
