Rules: explain why

Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

    My controversial take? Boba Fett doesn’t have enough personality in the movies for the show to be able to ruin him. He appears, does shit all, and then dies like an absolute chump. There’s no reason for him to have the huge cult following he does, unless you’re looking to extended universe non-canon stuff anyway.

      Oh I agree that he’s overrated and a zero note character, and Book of Boba Fett STILL character assassinated him. The show made him entirely ignorant to how criminal organizations work despite him working so closely with Jabba literally his whole life, like more naivety than would be expected of an adult in this universe.

      They acted like Jake Lyold’s Anakin was made a crime boss
