If the villain isn't a long lost relative, is it even Star Wars?

I don't think anyone is suddenly arguing for that necessarily. Someone posed the question. There are examples where access is limited. A movie theater doesn't have unlimited wheelchair spots. You may have to book ahead and make your plans based on what times those seats haven't been sold. So...

Legally, I don't know. Morally? There would be pros and cons. People would be "shut out" on certain days but limiting DAS passes could allow for a better product if it doesn't impact general operations the same way. This is where the old Fastpass system is missed for many I imagine. My last...

I think we can acknowledge that behaviour changes over time and improve or fix relationships. I think we do a disservice by not acknowledging when something is awful. Feels like trying to appease people who don't deserve it. Trying to take a high road with people who deserve some blunt truth.

And gaslighting. If you're gonna make a hate network you have to pretend it isn't a thing and then make people think they're irrational for believing it exists.

It's kind of crazy to see someone describe being treated as a secret or second class person by their awful family, and somehow thinking that's okay or should be the norm. Trauma can do that I guess. Personally, I'd be thinking of better ways to treat people, not demonizing them as unsuitable...

To the degree it impacted box office will always be a question mark. I don't think many people would argue the issue single handedly sunk the movie. It genuinely wasn't a great movie and is similar in style to other movies like Atlantis and Treasure Planet that didn't do well. The primary reason...

These sarcastic comments miss the point. One can say this was a dull installment and probably should have been a longer episode, rather than be beholden to having x number of episodes in a season. It doesn't mean review bombing doesn't take place. Both can be true.

There it is folks. The not so subtle type of comment that is a mainstay in these parts. "People don't want to be preached to", i.e. people don't want black mermaids and gay characters in movies. It's saying, if you're a minority, YOU are part of the reason people didn't like a movie or won't...

That what? Star Wars fans want Luke Skywalker? Barring a recast, that's not happening. Using special effects to do the cameo was a cool moment, but nothing more. Some fans can't let the past go and just want more and more of the same. Not all.

The part where you said fans want this but not this other thing?

Only a Sith deals in absolutes. These arguments that there is an example that demonstrates exactly what all fans want is absurd. The Luke scene was a cool fan pleasing moment but do all fans want nothing but nostalgic references? The Force Awakens was well liked but also criticized for being a...

Some people strongly deny it because they're part of the group attacking certain media for social reasons, and part of their strategy is to assert that their criticisms are valid and not based on any outside forces. I've also seen a lot of people get defensive when they wrongly think they're...

For anyone who still wants to deny that review bombing takes place, here's some more info. https://www.darkhorizons.com/acolyte-bad-reviews-target-wrong-films/

Ignore the headline if it's that triggering for you. The article very clearly states they're talking about a vocal minority with an axe to grind.

George Lucas himself couldn't consistently make Star Wars movies that everyone loved. The notion that anyone else can is absurd.

You seem very resistant to acknowledging what the article actually says. There are a group of people who will attack and criticize shows and movies strictly because they're against it from a social perspective because it dared to include a diverse cast. Heck, look more closely at The Last of...

Again, the article isn’t about differing opinions. It’s specifically calling out bigots who attack anything with the tiniest amount of diversity. It bleeds into everything and stops genuine discussion of likes, dislikes, and everything in between.

It's not lumping all fans who simply don't like the show into any bucket. It's very specific about the type of people it's calling out.

And if Inside Out did poorly people would be tripping over themselves to find dubious reasons. If anyone needs an example of this, look to the Mario movie last year. People were griping about it because Mario was portrayed as untalented until the princess taught him and turned him into the...
