The movie was very entertaining and deserves to be seen. Also, The Last Jedi was far better than The Force Awakens. Fanboys are the worst. Especially the ones who weren't even born when the original movies came out. You don't own the Star Wars franchise, so stop trying to prove that you are the only true Star Wars fans.
You do realize that fanboys are the people who are unwavering and blind in their praise? Fanboys don't criticize. They eat up whatever is given to them, and beg for seconds. There seems to be a real misunderstanding on this point, by ignorant fools on the internet, like yourself.
No fanboys are people who cry when their expectations of how they want the movie to be are dashed. I loved Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back and liked the Return of the Jedi. I hated the prequels and only tolerated The Force Awakens. The Last Jedi was a breath of fresh air and Rogue One and Solo were moderately entertaining. I don't consider myself a fanboy, but I do think that there are lots of fanboys out there who are upset with The Last Jedi for turning the Star Wars saga on its head and shaking it up. I have never heard so many babies cry about a movie like they did about The Last Jedi. It was a good Star Wars movie and people are only complaining about it because they didn't get what they wanted. So what.
Kid, you don't know what you're talking about. Quit trying to redefine words and concepts. You remind me of the SJWs who now say it's impossible for black people to be racist. Fanboys don't criticize, they are blindly loyal to their brand and product. Use a different word if you want, but don't use fanboy - you look like a fucking fool.
"An extreme fan or follower of a particular medium or concept, whether it be sports, television, film directors, video games (the most common usage), etc.
Known for a complete lack of objectivity in relation to their preferred focus. Usually argue with circular logic that they refuse to acknowledge. Arguments or debates with such are usually futile. Every flaw is spun into semi-virtues and everything else, blown to comedic, complimentary proportions.
Known for using the phrase
"Object of affection = Best Ever"
However, while people only really say that as hyperbole, fanboys truly believe it.
1. A person who is completely loyal to a game or company reguardless of if they suck or not. 2. A pathetic insult often used by fanboys themselves to try and put down people who don't like whatever it is they like."
Can't say I was surprised to see another idiot here, defending their insanity. Are you one of those people who get offended when someone says there are biological differences between men and women?
Of course I am. I mean I responded negatively to one of your posts so I must be a “SJW”. When someone disagrees with you they’re automatically a “SJW”.
You literally responded with a criticism of the SJW word. It wasn't some other random topic, you literally were responding to the "SJW" part of my message. That's on you, jackass.
Fanboys do criticize when their expectations aren't met. They want what they want from these movies and if it doesn't go their way, they claim the movie is bad.
No, they don't. That is NOT the meaning of the word, kid. What you're talking about there, is just a fan, who is able to see the flaws in something. Like I said before, quit trying to redefine words and concepts - or rather, educate yourself on those words and concepts before you start using them incorrectly. Maybe watch the video I linked above, if you can comprehend it.
I told you I don't care what you are saying. These are a new breed of fanboys who don't accept anything different from what has come before. They are the worst fans, because they like boring movies that have nothing new to offer. All this crying about a movie is getting so old, especially when it comes from a bunch of adult men in their 20's and 30's.
These fanboys are so rooted in what they expect from a Star Wars story that they can't stand it when someone breathes some fresh air into it. There are fanboys who do love everything that a franchise puts out, but then there are others who can't stand any deviation from what they think a franchise should be.
Most people who despise the new Star Wars movies are definitely fanboys. To them those movies are not actually part of the brand, they’ve not true Star Wars movies, they’re fanboys of the original movies.
"I hated the prequels and only tolerated The Force Awakens. I have never heard so many babies cry about a movie like they did about The Last Jedi. It was a good Star Wars movie and people are only complaining about it because they didn't get what they wanted. So what."
You only hated the prequels and tolerated Force Awakens because you did not get what you wanted. So what.
See how easily your vapid arguments can be lead ad absurdum? Try again.
Doesn't "Star Wars" come with built in expectations though? You are going to see a Star Wars movie, and that name means something to you and pretty much everyone else, so when you get there and you get bombarded with scene after scene of subverted expectations, you aren't going to react? Thought you were going to get to see the Luke Skywalker you remember again, huh? Boom! Subverted. Thought TFA was setting up arcs for these characters, right? Boom! Subverted again. You like that Kylo Ren is obsessed with becoming like Darth Vader, including wearing that cool mask? Guess what? Subverted, bitch! What about Snoke? Are you curious about who he is, or where he came from, or how he corrupted Ben Solo? Well, fuck you, cause he's dead! Take that!!! It just goes on and on like that for two and half hours.
And it was great. This is why I call haters fanboys. They can't take it when someone comes up with something different. As I said, TOO BAD. Aren't people tired of these cookie cutter movies. I know I am.
But, Disney isn't coming up with anything different. That's the problem. Force Awakens rips-off A New Hope. Last Jedi repeated dialogue and scenes from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of a Jedi. Han is a recycled character from the OT. Rogue One again references the OT.
And they're making them in a careless way that is contradicting established storylines that go back 40 years.
Why not pick an entirely new timeline and create brand new characters? Nope, instead we're going to get more recycled characters from the OT for the next zillion standalones with poor writing.
BTW, Rian Johnson is obviously stupid. He had the vessel door open to allow Leia Poppins in without knowing that would cause the rebels to be sucked out into space. There is no friction in space so a space vessel running out of fuel wouldn't stop it. BTW, a space vessel wouldn't come to a sudden halt either. There is no gravity to make bombs fall downward. Where did Rey learn to swim since she grew up on a desert planet without large bodies of water? Luke left a map so he could be found so why did he yell at Rey after he was found? Pure crapola!
[spoiler]"You're alone, I'll call you Solo." Dumb a$$ writing![/spoiler]
Yeah, but why would you come up with something completely different in the middle of a trilogy?
You know for a fact that the theaters are gonna be jam packed with people expecting this film to carry on with what TFA set up, so why would you intentionally piss them off? Does it really make sense, from a business perspective, to divide the fan base in this way?
When you included the word "haters", you've demonstrated that you're an Internet normie, who came online in last 10 years and has no fucking clue.
"Fanboy" existed ages ago and it describes an idiot like yourself: void of self-awareness and extremely narcisisstic against anyone constructively calling out the flaws of his "fanboyism".
"Fanboys" usually use the modern word "hater" for anyone who stirrs their fragile feelings and dares to call their shit out.
User maul was correct and I bet he isn't new on the Internet.
I love this timeline! One where people get called fanboys, nerds and virgins for disliking Star Wars films. All these alpha jocks in their Kappa Sig letterman jackets taking time out from lacrosse to give out furious beat downs on moviechat.org.
It is a bit weird, isn't it? I used to be called a loser for liking all the Star Wars movies. Now, I'm a loser for not liking all the Star Wars movies.
You're an 'incel' too according to one particular loser who spends all day on these boards defending Star Wars and calling everyone 'incels'. Who'd have thought that people who have to create a meta fantasy in which the space fantasy movies they love so much aren't utter crap would have trouble living in reality?
It must be so easy being a hypocrite, never having to abide by your own rules, hurling insults at people for the very things you're guilty of. Maybe I should try it!?
