The Last Jedi **WARNING: SPOILERS ALLOWED**

[_subgenius]

Um, the backgrounds in my feed aren't white but rather a light grey alternating with a blue-ish, so the white text shows up quite clearly. So, yeah people posting spoilers within the 1st week are just kinda wonky.

Shades is spoiler tagging a 2 year old movie? Um, Ok.

??? No, I'm only spoiler-tagging The Last Jedi.

Regarding TLJ, you could always just start an anticipation thread if you don't want to participate in the thread that involves discussing movie reactions.

Or this thread could've been originally labeled as "Spoilers allowed." I really, REALLY wish Kevin had hidden his nasty spoiler in the opening post.

EA,

You white knight garbage suck up. Rey literally Jedi mindtricked a storm trooper literally a few hours after she learned about the force. She bested Kylo Ren, Darth Vader re-dux, in battle. GMAFB. How you can go to bat for that character, simply because she's a female once again underscores how you infantalize women and minorities. Your patriarchy is showing again.

Shades. WTF??

I'm talking about TFA and how Rey is a garbage character because she's on easy mode. The movie is too old to protect against spoilers. Jesus.

You just went in and edited a spoiler around vague reference to the plot of TFA.

Luke, a back-woods farm boy, blew up the Death Star as a fighter pilot using the Force after being given a brief intro on what the Force even is. That's what Star Wars writing is like. This alone is not what typifies a Mary Sue. But sure, you repeating the positions of the most misogynist corners of the Internet is just how showing how woke you are compared to all those supporters of the patriarchy.

The OP asked us "if you have seen it, what do you think"? So I assumed spoilers were a-go on this thread.

I do find the individual movies strong, but the overall narrative rather disappointing. The first trilogy amounted to nothing and the Rebellion essentially accomplished nothing over the past ~30-40 years. Luke was training a whole 12 Jedi apprentices and they got killed or otherwise lured to the dark side, so he gave up on everything? Quit kind of early there, didn't you, Luke?

I was a huge fan of the Expanded Universe novels in junior high and high school though, and so many of those were so good, I've been trying not to compare the new movies to those too much.

Manlet. You are so in the tank for your ideology you have to make everything about it. Got. Dayum someone is over compensating.

Luke's story arc took place over three movies. THREE. Rey became a Jedi, master pilot, can-do-everything in less than one film. Take that crap up with JJ Abrams and his idealization of his perfect woman.

Also, I want it noted that I did enjoy the female character in Rogue One. I thought she was compelling and well-written.

[MODERATOR NOTE: NO GODDAMN SPOILERS!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, NOT EVERYONE HAS SEEN THIS MOVIE YET!!!

If you wish to post a spoiler, if the background of your post is white, then start the spoiler with the tag [ color=white ] and end it with [ /color ] (without the spaces). If the background of your post is light blue, then start the spoiler with the tag [ color=#eeeeff ] and end it with [ /color ] (without the spaces).

You're asking, "How do I know what the background of my post will be?" Simple: If the last post's background is white, then yours will be light blue, and vice-versa. If you guess wrong--or if someone posts before you do--go back and edit your post.]

Why do you actually take the time to type out foul and profane phrases, in a thread title, in a post as a moderator and in all CAPS, enlarged CAPS even? Have you no class?

crap.

SHADES HAS NO CLASS!
