Tim Miller Quote which proves he should never have been anywhere near this
"There was a lot of talk at the really early stages of should this new savior be someone who was connected to the Connors? Should it be John’s daughter or something like that? Which I was always against, because I’m just not a fan of the Chosen One sort of movie as much as I am of a hero sort of rising to meet adversity, who could be an everyman or an everywoman".
This encapsulates everything that is wrong with the direction taken in this film - Getting it wrong in thinking you can bring something to the table by not being interested in a "chosen one" in a series which is pretty much entirely about protecting the survival of THE chosen one is laughable enough.
However just that comment about their early stage discussions around who should be the new saviour says it all. It's like the TFA rehash criticism all over again. Replace John Connor with Dani Ramos, replace Skynet with Legion, replace The Empire with The First Order, Luke with Rey, etc. Doesn't matter if it doesn't stack up against the previous films, as long as it's the copy / paste elements of the previous films are in place!
