Unpopular opinions


Mar 17, 2020, 8:28 PM

Good evening Tnetters. Since there are no sports going on I need to hear some unpopular opinions.

Here is mine: Star Wars is overrated.

The original trilogy was not overrated. It was breathtaking and far ahead of its time. What happened is the reputation of Star Wars continues to ride the coattails of the sheer greatness of the originals, which are now over 35 years old.

Because George Lucas became so full of himself, nothing produced since 1983 has lived up to the hype.

Bottom line: Your statement is true, but there is nuance.

Full disclosure: I'm a Trekkie and the opposite thing happened to my favorite show. The Next Generation was rather sterile but it was a decent successor. DS9 was stellar. The best Star Trek ever. Voyager was mostly feel good stuff but I liked it. Enterprise was an utter disgrace that should not have been made.

One caveat: The movies don't count (in my opinion) because Star Trek is best served by TV series. Some of the movies were just stale, terrible garbage while others were mediocre at best.

Star Trek Discovery struggled in its first season but excelled in season 2. Picard is, uh, slow. Maybe it will finish with a bang.

That was a good one, but Star Trek is defined by TV series, not movies.

Star Wars should (1) forget movies, (2) switch to series and (3) forget Vader/Luke/Leia/Yoda/etc and move on to brand new story lines. That would revive it.

And have more complex and rich plots. They are unique and went for a completely different feel. To me it worked. It was full of mythology as it displayed the fall of the Jedi.

The sequels simply tried to be a cheap imitation of the classics.

Original Star Wars Trilogy was great; particularly The Empire Strikes Back.

"Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi" was not only a disgrace to the franchise, it was one of the worst movies ever made. Totally ruined the franchise for me. The only reason I watched the last Star Wars movie (The Rise of Skywalker) was that JJ Abrams promised to fix the franchise. He did what he could and it was a lot better than the previous Rian Johnson abortion, but overall the last trilogy was a huge disappointment.

The Mandalorian TV series is rather interesting - maybe Disney should have built a movie around that instead of crapping all over the original trilogy and its beloved characters.



Now to an unpopular opinion...

As much as I've tried - I just can't get into "Better Call Saul". I've watched the first 3 episodes and can't figure out why people go bonkers over it - what am I missing?

The word "Snowflake" is a terrible personification.


Mar 18, 2020, 7:25 AM

A snowflake is part of a larger system as a whole. It appears to be exactly the same as all other snowflakes, but when examined closely it is very unique. It is short-lived but lasts longer when surrounded by other snowflakes.
