Listen.
I am the most hands off, casual Star Wars fan alive. Iâm not here to get into discourse about lightsaber cross guards, Iâm not here to bitch and moan because Acolyte didnât perfectly represent how bleeding a kyber crystal works, Iâm here to watch cool people fly cool spaceships, shoot cool space guns, and swing cool space swords. Iâm not here to pretend Star Wars is high art or anything more than cool action set pieces linked together by sometimes odd but overall serviceable story beats.
That. Being. Said.
The amount of people who seem to just be writing off The Mandolorian and Grogu on principle as just âMore Star Wars Disneyslopâ without even watching it as far I can tell is genuinely pissing me off. I saw that movie opening night. And you wanna know what it was? It was a good movie. It wasnât great, it wasnât redefining cinema, but it also wasnât bad, it wasnât single-handedly dismantling the industry. Itâs just good. It has good jokes, great action, and a story that was completely functional. It was simple. It was predictable. But it was good. It was a good movie. Stop acting like just because itâs Disney-made and has a lot of CGI itâs automatic swamp muck. Actually watch movies before you have opinions on their quality. And if you still donât like it after you watched it, THEN we can have a discussion on why you think itâs Quality-Slop or whatever asinine title you assigned to it from looking at a trailer.
Iâve also heard that the new live action Masters of the Universe movie is doing poorly at the box office, and I theorize itâs for a similar reason. I saw that one opening night too!!! It was also good!!! I feel like people are so easy to write things off nowadays, and I think thatâs stupid. The world is a hellish place right now, we all need to be injecting a little bit of goofy summer action blockbusters into our eyes to keep our whimsy intact. Get your head out of your ass and watch the campy sci-fi fantasy movies!!! Itâs good for your soul!!!
