droid, please! Don't you confuse arthritic with artistic. I was talking about artistic merits as in:
- TFA is a rehash by ripping of mostly ANH- and then some OT/old EU plot beats (story points),
- thereby lazily nuking the achievements of the OT (defeat of Empire) and the OT character arcs,
- the writing is on fanfic level with most characters being incongruent with their backstories (including MS writing)
- the main storyline is broken and inconlusive,
- there are no new ideas, designs or proper world building,
- the execution is rushed (pacing), overacted and mediocre
etc...
In short: TFA is an artistic shitstain on SW's best underwear. But can millions of arthritic flies be wrong in this regard...? Just IMO....
And you clearly haven't seen 'Ghostbusters: Answer the Call' if you think 'The Force Awakens' is more artistically bankrupt than that.
Droid, please? Depends on who I talk to. With you "Got a boyfriend, cute boyfriend?" comes to mind. Like THAT better?
When comparing turds it is often difficult to firmly assess which one stinks worse: the Ghostbuster one admittedly reeks and is an abomination in form, consistency and substance, but it can be contained and ultimately forgotten. Stinky shit, but harmless.
Not so the TFA-
, which manages to retroacticvely and proactively stink up an entire franchise.
And I am just talking degrees of stink here, what about writing theory? Eg that copied-yet-broken storyline? Starting out with the hunt for the map to find Luke (in an little droid), but then in the second half being suddenly interrupted by the unrelated storyline of DeathStar3 and its all-to-easy copycat-destruction? And then in the last minutes having the main map-plotline conveniently be resolved by an deus ex machina awakening (R2 meeting Marey Sue and having the map all along and nobody ever bothered to look in Lukes suspiciously abandoned droid...).
Fanfic amateurism thy name is The Farce Awakens!
