Two reboots so far, yes.

IDW didn't "reboot" anything. While unlikely, TMNT Vol. 4, #33 could come out tomorrow. IDW didn't "end" volume 4, nor does IDW even get to do that. IDW is it's own thing, same as Archie was during vol. 1 of Mirage. Revived franchises. Nothing was rebooted about them. Same story, all history intact. Amount of time between sequels = irrelevant. If "Shrek 5" comes out next year, that is not a reboot... that's just "Shrek 5." No one can say "The Color of Money" rebooted "The Hustler," or that "Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" rebooted the Indiana Jones series. That's stupid. That's using the word wrong.

a few are even on here, who I have no doubt are 100% genuine in what they believe, and are not faking it. Hollywood is so far up it's own butt....even if they started faking it...at one point somewhere it switched to full on belief. and they no longer see that what they are trying to do is hurting what they are trying to do.

If one wears mask long enough, then mask can merge with their face.

Someone I respect... "encapsulated" "The Last Jedi" in I think a pretty dead-on way. Here it is:
"Almost nothing happens in 'Last Jedi' of any consequence. The bulk of the plot is the cinema's slowest car chase (with plot holes galore.) Characters go off to find the ONE guy who can hack a computer...except they don't, and find someone else who is conveniently there and can get them out of a prison they land in because they're crap at parking. A bad guy who is never set up intelligently gets killed. A character we've been waiting years to see dies (in a way that makes Padme's death look almost intelligent.) The rebels leave one base to go to another...which they then leave. There's a climactic fight...in which not one blow is landed. There's the Leia Poppins moment which is done with such incompetence, you forgive ever harsh thing you ever said about JarJar. Worst Star Wars Movie. Period."

You can say the same thing for any movie.

But see, your second point, people didn't dislike the movie because of their anti-feminist agenda as you want to imply with that comment. I'm sure some didn't because of that very reason, but just like those who like it because of that agenda, they're but a minority in the opinions of the film. |

Popular culture need not be overt in its political affiliations to be political. Popular culture holds up a mirror to the social norms and conventions of the day. Maybe you don't see that because someone hasn't pointed it out to you yet? Quote:
On the other, are we sure about that majority? Quote:

And we both agree that there are likely people out there who hold that opinion. My second point was merely that I'm not less of a fan of this movie because I enjoyed part of it, just like that other Someone isn't any less of a fan for their objectification of Rey.

lol... Rian Johnson deletes 20,000 tweets. Can't say that I blame him, though.

Oscar Isaac on "The Last Jedi"'s negative reactions:
http://www.darkhorizons.com/oscar-is...jedi-reaction/ Basically, "You don't like it? Go out and make your own movie, then!"

that was the safest, blandest, whitest answer I think i've ever seen.
delivered in a non confrontational way. I guess it's kind of refreshing..but it also really shoes there's no passion for what he does in these movies, I think. either that, or he's just a really bland and boring interview.

i didn't see it phrased in an insulting way. I thought he went out of his way to try and make it sound middle of the road. not really staying on one side or the other.
