And thats just part 1.

Why did nerds hate it so much

Because they wanted the original trilogy Luke instead of a character who would have realistically changed over the decades.

You forgot to mention that this is the shortest of the three videos

why would I watch a critique of a movie where the critique is like 3x longer lol

because "LuKe SkYwAlkEr WoUld'T Do tHaT!!!!"

the movie was way too fucking long, with at least one big pointless CGI scene that reeked of Disney's fuck-you money, a lot of the humor was super forced (looking at you, Poe vs Hux) and one of the main plots (Holdo) just being kinda... stupid. Keep this character in the dark when they don't reasonably need to be. Saying that, though, I like it more than most, and I liked Luke Skywalker a lot - of the things people hate about the movie, I think they're the most wrong about Luke's characterisation. Especially considering how it's been 40 years since the end of the original trilogy, and shit changes in 40 years. But there are some parts that make it a tough watch. Mostly the forced fucking jokes.

People who say that Rian Johnson should never direct again, and who retroactively hate his backlog of work, are fucking morons. Just for the record.

They think they are funnier or more interesting than they actually are.

Depends on the subject, I like a good video of someone discussing and analysing stuff. Down The Rabbit Hole is a great YouTube channel for video essays.

But yeah, unless it's a ralphthemoviemaker video, I don't want to listen to some TGWTG-wannabe asshole talk shit for hours at a time.

coz fans wanted more luke. Instead they kill him after giving fans blue balls with TFA. Its makes no sense killing your cash cow.

I could see in-depth deep dives being fun for stuff you like and they like.

I don't get spending that long on just negativity.

I wonder if the Poe vs Purple Haired Lady has a lot to do with it.

Also, purple haired lady is a bit dramatic. Couldnt she control it remotely ?

pretty much everybody that's been in or is in the military has repeated to me that Admiral Tumblr is a TERRIBLE commander

Yeah most of the internet essays I like are on the shorter side.

Stuff like Game Makers Toolkit or Nerdwriter or whatever which at the longest tops out around 20ish minutes.

The longest one I've been able to stomach is Lindsay Ellis' 3 part series on The Hobbit, but that's more like an actual full length documentary than anything else.

Dunno how people can handle 5+ hours of some rando talking about shit. Even if it's all just to affirm an opinion you have. It'd get old after the first couple minutes.

is it bad that its good?
or is it mind numbingly to drag through?

gonna listen to it in the background while I find spots for my pics in this MMO bikini contest.
