I was young enough to be in the Star Wars: Episode I target audience. I ate that stuff up. Then I got older. I grew to like the original trilogy more, and to like Episode I less.
All I was saying is that you said that the originals were very unengaging, but one of the biggest reasons stated for their popularity is just how engaging and compelling they are.
Really, though, I think nerd-dom has extracted more enjoyment from mocking the SW prequels than they ever could have experienced if the SW prequels were indisputably good.
And I understand why it might beinterpreted as such, but can we please stop assuming that Ithink everyone has worse opinions than me and I'm on some sort of mission to prove that? I never said anything about anyone's taste.
the original star wars movies are overrated though because people watched them at a younger age than they did the prequels
Isn't it kind of presumptuous to assume that's the only reason the original trilogy has stuck around for over thirty five years?
You're reading things into my line that I didn't say. Overrated and bad aren't the same word. I do think it's one of the more significant reasons people say things like "George Lucas raped my childhood" though.
Creator of the "basement rapist screed" videos Odradek referred to. Their "Mr. Plinkett" video series started off mocking the bad Star Trek movies, then became super-famous when they did an hour-long skewering of The Phantom Menace. In between the analysis, the narrator would off-handedly mention stuff like the dead bodies in his basement, or that time he killed his ex-wife.
The gratuitous black comedy was unfortunate, because a lot of the analysis was pretty interesting.
I dunno, like, when I see posts on Tumblr where people are all like "please donate for thing I need but can't afford"
Sometimes I start thinkin' "well there's thing I need but can't afford!"
Granted, I suspect that those people tend to get a lot of "SIGNAL BOOSTING" and barely any money, 'cause that's the kind of thing Tumblr does, but still
You have to define "need" first. Some people need food and water, and some people "need" another million dollar car.
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
I skimmed this page. The future is really fucking weird and I would rather just play my games and cuddle with my gf and look at pretty things and cook yummy food.

That's kinda what I was getting at, though I didn't articulate it very well
I wouldn't resort to e-begging unless I was desperate for absolute necessities like a place to live or something, but I see people e-beg for shit they don't actually need all the time

And I just find myself wondering if that works
you need:
* a lot of followers
* a problem which lots of tumblr people will either find very relatable or will feel obligated to help with
Literally everything about their approach is off putting and distasteful
and that's the point
maybe I am desensitized to a lot of stuff but complaining that someone's opinions is popular among people because they also do black comedy is rather trivial I feel

For fucks sake, no, I'm not, I never mean anything like that.
I, too take my film opinions from fake rapists
There I did it
