Star Wars Last Jedi (18 replies)
It was 'entertaining' but so weak compared to the originals and even the 1-3 films.
It just doesn't feel like Star Wars but some fan fiction remakes with fetishizations over powerful women.
The whole concept of the film feels like the writers sat there and wrote 100 women minority characters and then had to force a story about how every one of them can save the day.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying i hate diversity (and i get that i'm not very articulate and it sounds like im a grumpy old man saying all lives matter) but I would rather the writers write a great film with great characters and then fill those roles with whoever is best, rather than write the characters revolving around the gender and ethnicity and then loosely writing a story where they can all be heroes.
It seems like pandering, i go to the cinema to be lost in a great plot, but i can't get into the film when it is so forced and blatant.
To be clear, i don't want to see the roles filled by white men. I want to see the roles written to fit the plot and not the plot written to pander to certain characters. Hence the headlines after the film :

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Should Just Be Called "Women Getting Sh*t Done".
More than any Star Wars film that came before, it's about women getting shit done. Just in time to close the door on this donkey dung year, The Last Jedi scrapes under the gate to deliver what is, next to Wonder Woman, the most female-centric genre blockbuster of the year.
