zoomers think the prequels are masterpieces. how do you explain this phenomenon
>>218979355They were 6 years old
>>218979355Nobody thought ROTS sucked when it released. Most of the negative reactions to the prequels were directed at 1 and 2. Sentiment for those 2 have changed since the sequels were released but 3 was always considered a masterpiece, which it is. Here's a (you) for your bait thread though
By zoomers being retarded
>>218979355Anyone who complains about the lightsaber duels in the prequels being overproduced is retarded.
>>218979355The thing is, the fight isn't bad.This person's argument lacks perspective, just like most arguments made be simple people. The fight itself is great: it looked nice, the music is great, and the choreography is well done.But there's so much more going on other than the fight. The motivation for the fight itself is pretty half baked. Because Anakin turning to the dark side is half baked. Because Anakin and Obiwan's friendship is half baked.It's easy to forgive this now that they have given these characters a ton more characterization between the Clone Wars, Ashoka, Obi-Wan, etc.. Now when you watch that scene you feel a bit more. But the point is that at the time it was released, all that wasn't there. As someone who only watches this fight with episodes 1-3 as context, the whole dark side turn was pretty weak, so it turns the fight into just a fight. When it should have been the emotional finale of the entire saga.
>>218979355Terrible movies from 2005 ARE masterpieces compared to new movies from the 2020s.
>>218979355I wouldn't say masterpiece but E3 is the best in the franchise.I watched the prequels first as a kid, so I don't have an irrational hate boner for them.I tried watching the originals later but they had just aged too badly and put me to sleep.
>>218979594>Because Anakin turning to the dark side is half baked.lmao what
>>218979594>Anakin turning to the dark side is half baked.The whole trilogy is built upon the hardships he endures and his turn to the dark side. His motivations make total sense in character, it's very well baked.>Anakin and Obiwan's friendship is half baked.2 and most of 3 did everything possible to show the evolution of their friendship, also well baked.
>>218979355Phantom Menace is one of the greatest movies ever made and always was. Remember everyone loved the prequels when they first came out. It was only years later that everyone started this reddit trend of claiming that they sucked when nobody agreed with this.
>>218979355Disney viral marketing
>>218979355They’re masterpieces only in comparison to the slop getting churned out nowadays. They’re on the level of The Godfather when compared to the sequel trilogy. They’re competent, enjoyable movies. Can you nitpick them? Yes. They have dialogue issues, acting issues, the pacing is off, the story is pretty stupid, but it’s still better than modern day Star Wars. The original films were space operas. It’s supposed to be kind of hokey. So, it’s not that hard to make a similar movie. They could have just picked the best of the best of the extended universe and adapted some of those novels and they would have done well. With the sequel trilogy, it felt deliberate. Like they went out of their way to ruin the IP.
Truly this debate is one of the most pointless ways to spend your time don’t you think?
>>218979794>>218979693They didn't have a friendship in 1, and then by the time 2 starts they have already been training for years.From the very beginning of Clone Wars, Anakin is shown as impulsive and reckless. The movies are not subtle about this. And this would be fine if it were these character traits that ultimately lead him to the dark side - but it's really the death of his mother and the sudden dreams of Padme dying.And the story does NOTHING to connect these two events on any kind of thematic level. Anakin is seen grieving his mother initially but never again. In episode 3 he doesn't even mention her - there's never a line like "I just can't lose Padme. I was too weak to save my mother, but I know if I become stronger I can save her..." By the end of it, it feels more like Anakin is tricked into becoming evil, other than having a lust for more power that overtakes him.The story beats are there, but the writing around them sucks and fail to cohesively make a strong through line between the three movies.
>>218979693it is lol. oh he's mad he doesn't get promoted and then his gf dies, wow now he's the most evil man in the world
>>218979355young people don't know how bad their culture suckshttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Pov0MKuyJfg
>>218979380Fpbp
>>218980821This is what I mean in >>218980601To one person, to motivation stems from his lack of promotion to Jedi council. To another it's his mom dying. To another its his dreams. To another its Palpatine. If this shit had better writing everyone would know the clear reason why.
>>218980882This Joshua Graham rip off is incredible gay.
Only episode 3 is good
>>218979355hes right though. The big battles and lightsaber fights were top kino they excuse any other flaw.
>>218979832im glad to know Palpatine is a trans ally
>>218979663Even though the prequels started a lot of the trends plaguing Hollywood today they're still more competently made than anything coming out now.
Except for the part where obi-wan tries to hit Anakin at the end it barely feels like they're actually fighting. More like dancing.The videogame was unironically better. You felt weight when the sabers clashed.
>>218979355Zoomers are fucking stupid, and I don't listen to anything they say.
>>218979355>A retarded millennial on Twitter is suddenly a zoomerThe prequels suckKill yourself
>>218980917Maybe it was a culmination of it all
They used the original trilogy for reference and got mad at lightsaber fights being more kung fu, without the reference that no shit trained jedi in their prime would fight more expertly than Luke Skywalker.
>>218979355Zoomers watched the prequels first so they are the face of star wars. They're retarded and don't know what the word or concept of prequel is. If the movie says 1, then you watch it first, of course.
>>218979355The prequels *are* masterpiece. Keep coping.
>>218979806This but unironically.
>>218979355They've grown up with nothing BUT dogshit cgi, so they don't mind it. But when actual sapient people started being exposed to this slop in the early 2000s we fucking hated it because it looks uncanny and fake.It was the ai garbage of its time. Gen alpha isn't going to see a problem with ai Disney movies, then the zoomers will understand.
>>218980821The Force was out of balance and the Jedi become lazy and stupid and corrupt, and Anakin saw their hypocrisy, yes he was buttmad about not getting promoted but if was also frustration from the Jedi losing their way. Compare what Mace was almost manipulated by Palpatine into doing, with Luke in rotj in almost the same situation except he resists and finally shows Vader what a true Jedi is
>>218984191>The Force was out of balanceAlways the stupidest thing in Lucas' childish setting. Oh noez two le evil forcers in the whole galaxy! That means the balance is le off! The whole thing is so tiny and dumb. It's exactly why they struggle to make any actual sequel since it's all so small the universe is essentially a medium sized city.
>>218979355Because they grew up with them and a lot of the spin off media related to the prequels
>>218979355Zoomers hate Star Wars. They consider it "old people stuff" and only watch MCU movies and 22 Jump Street.
>>218984456It means the Jedi were acting like sith even if just a little bit
>>218979355I’m a zoomer and my people are pants on the head retarded. We are a people who are leaderless lost. Taking what we say as fact is foolish.
>>2189845923/10 bait
>>218979806heres a (you)
Because the 80s films look incredibly dated, particularly from the perspective of that generation who likely do not care to consume content pre-2000s.
>>218984603That's just amerimutts
>>218979355What's the best lightsaber duel in the series?
>>218979355I don't because I don't give a shit about star wars or zoomers.
>>218984005>we
>>218984456>Oh noez two le evil forcers in the whole galaxy! That means the balance is le off!You're a retard. The dark side existing *is* off balance. You don't have a balanced diet if you eat 1:1 the same amount of ingredients, and your body isn't in balance if you have equal amount good cells and tumors.The light side is balance, the dark side is corruption. When Vader is redeemed back into Anakin and dies in the light, and Sidious is killed in the Death Star (sequels didn't happen), balance is restored no matter how much you may cry about it.
>>218979355They aren't retards like Mike Stoklasa and South Park
>>218979546It absolutely fucking was not considered a 'masterpiece' even by 8 year olds. It was given the given grudging title of less shit than the first two but people have since pointed out how much walking and talking there is in the films(and the dialogue is not good)
There's a school of anon here who seem to dislike RLM and the other many critics of the Prequels for weird personal autism reasons, so they've decided as a troll to take the contrary position. RLM says the prequels are bad? Then they must be good and we must find as much evidence of this as possible, regardless of the merit of the evidence.
>>218979355>Literally just don't agree that they "suck">HURR DURR DEY DINK THEIR MASTERPIECES HURR DURRwhy are boomers incapable of nuance?
>>218979355theres a lot of historical revisionism happening with prequels. most normies saw them and liked them. i dont remember autism prequel hating until youtube and the 2010s
>>218979355You assumed everyone in the cinema hated it with you
>>218979355watch the RLM reviews
>>218979355Zoomers aren’t obsessed with reliving the same product like Mike Stoklasa or Trey Parker who shilled The Force Awakens
>>218987808>theres a lot of historical revisionism happening with prequelsThere is indeed>most normies saw them and liked them. Like this, this is a good example of this
>>218989304Yet you seem to be obsessed with hating them
>>218987677they do suck
>>218987808People don’t understand that the internet=/=Real Life.YouTubers hated the Venom movies and the movies still made bank. Same with Bay Tranformers. Same with AvatarMost people thought Yoda fighting a lightsaber was badass and a highlight of the movie. Only a few people like Mike Stoklasa were seething.Film Executives took the Plinkett reviews and The People vs George Lucas as fact instead of asking actual fans.
My favourite cope is the revisionism one

>>218989800Oh fuck off
>>218989735>nobody fucking cared about the dialogueEvidently not. Btw I was 7 when they came out and I knew there weren't as good as the OT even then, I never liked what I saw as the new series. I could tell it was kind of weak
naboo is a kino fantasy world.
I argued they were masterpieces for years because I was bored, and wanted to throw it back in the face of people who told me TFA was really good. And I did it so long I actually shifted consensus and lil zooms think they're cool for parroting my shitposting, lmao.They're alright. idk. Just films innit. Everyone goes on too much about SW. Bro just watch the sword fight, and shut up. Look, there's Yoda. You like him!
>>218990140its space italy
Also, I control world politics like this. I'm just spiteful, and I brute-force memes.
>>218979580Even in world it would make sense since the jedi were an institution that trained and did missions. By rots obi and ani doing that insane duel is cuz they were peak warriors from a decade of war. By orignial trilogy Vader was a robot, obi was an old hermit and Luke was a scrub noob, them not being 5 star duelists is understandable

I can't imagine how pathetic you have to be to make a twitter account so you can keep normalizing your faggot prequel troll threads
>>218989473You're entitled to your opinion, you see the difference? Zoomers just see the good parts and like them. Boomers insist that EVERYONE hate them because they're the worst thing to ever happen to cinema. So much so that when they see someone who's just explaining the opposing view, they can't help but immediately respond with a seething reply.
>>218979355>zoomers think the prequels are masterpieces. >how do you explain this phenomenonI guess the millennialcuck is upset that the prequels don't have Millennial Writing™Please, go back to fighting for the honor of black Snape in your Harry Potter slop show. You're not welcome here anymore, millennialtroon.
The prequels were the best of starwars faggott. millenial.
>>218990432(^;
>>218979355That's bullshit, no one said Revenge of the sith sucked. Maybe not a masterpiece but it was not hated
40 year old boomer here, prequels have the best re-watchability and are a close second to the original trilogy.
>>218991207'not as bad as the other ones' isnt really high praise
He should've got put in the Vader suit way earlier. It should've been a real Vader movie. Hayden Christenson is a fag.
>>218979355>Best lightsaber duels>Best music>Darth Maul>Clone army >Cool military tech>Midriff Padme >Jar Jar >Best space battles >Cool side characters >Quotable lines>Clone wars tv show>Great games Honestly, I'm sick of you Gen X faggots that won't let Star Wars grow beyond Empire vs Rebels. Nobody wants to see that tired slop anymore.
>>218979355It was a combination of Disney spamming prequel memes online after they bought the rights, and anti-SJW youtubers pretending that the prequels were "based and trad" to criticize the sequels.Zoomers claim they like the prequels because of nostalgia, but nostalgia has nothing to do with it. It's pure social conformity.
>>218979355I was in my teens and a big Star Wars fan when they came out. I don't remember anyone criticizing the lightsaber duels, and I remember at least a couple of people saying they sucked other than the lightsaber duels.The general consensus I remember was that Episode 1 kinda sucked and was a disappointment, Episode 2 really sucked, and Episode 3 was actually pretty good but still not to par of the original trilogy. By the time Episode 3 came out, I remember public opinion shifting to think Episode 1 was decent to good, but Episode 2 was still hated.
>>218979806Based.
>>218990867>>218990975HAHAHA I'M TROLLING ON TEH INTERNET!!!!
>>218991855I been saying we need a new big bad forever. Talk all the shit you want about it but the high republic actually introduced a new faction in the Nihil that had some legs to it. Them or maybe rework the Yuuzhan Vong to be less cringe. Either way I agree I don't think we need another nine movies of red lightsaber means bad.
>>218992070Can you confirm if nostalgia is bad or not

>>218987808You don’t exist when the prequels released
>>218979355So when are the sequels going to be hailed as masterpieces? How many more years/decades?
>>218993082How long did it take the prequels to be hailed as masterpieces? 10?
>>218993082never, because there's nothing good about them
>>218993178TFA is better than the prequels
>>218979594This but also most people didn't watch Tartakovsky's Clone Wars before seeing RotS. Hell, it was hard to even have watched the whole thing back in the day because you had to find them in 10 minute chunks randomly dispersed throughout the day on Cartoon Network
>>218993279here is your (you)
I live in Spain and the prequels were hated as soon as they came out. The third one was accepted as the one that wasn't utter dogshit but it still was nowhere near the original trilogy. This zoomer meme that the Plinkett reviews were what created the hate is insane.

>>218996212Disney own the prequels as well
There's a sped up GIF of the fight so that shows how bad the choreography is.I dunno why it looks worse than behind the scenes test footage

>>218991811Vader duelling Windu would've been kino
>>218998462I loved the prequels as a kid. Back then you could buy a PS2 game based on the movies. Lucas Arts had a great reputation back then for putting out quality. Every game was a banger and made the Star Wars universe more enjoyable
>>218979355>zoomers think the prequels are masterpiecesThey're right.
>>218979355Millennials and Gen Z were the target audience for these films. Boomers and Gen X hated the prequels but their voices are now being drowned out by Millennials and Gen Z. Even Gen A probably likes the Prequels because the best part of playing games like battlefront is playing the Clone Wars eras.
>>218979806Absolute revisionism
>>219002909>Boomers and Gen X faggots give bad reviews for Phantom Menace >Teenagers love these films (target audience)>George Lucas has to apologize Flash forward to today:>OT slop keeps flopping
>>218995569>>218995323You're all reaching. I suppose you can pull that out of your ass and say the movies make it obvious, but the thing thing the movies make obvious is that Anakin is emotional, unstable, and fucks up a lot. And everyone just goes along with it because he's 'the chosen one' or whatever - something that is mostly dropped after Episode 1.You know how in Return of the King, at the moment Frodo could destroy the ring, he finally gives into the corruption? It's compelling and believable because we've seen the ring toying with him, seducing him, and pulling him closer to its will. And very clear and Frodo even acknowledges that he feels that pull, but will do what he can to stop it. It's why we don't hate Frodo when he puts on the ring - we understand what he's feeling and why he ultimately surrenders to the ring.Anakin wants to kill Palpatine, and like 5 minutes later he cuts off Mace Windu's arm instead. And even then he's lamenting what he's done, but just kind of says ok to being Darth Vader within the next couple of minutes. It's all over the place. Again, stick with a strong, solid motivation. They could have stuck with his mother, or Padme, or his temperament in general that was established right from the jump in Episode 2. But they try to do everything and it all kind of falls flat. That hatred he felt from his mother dying should have grown. He should have blamed the Jedi for his mother's death. Then watched as his resentment and hatred for them started to grow and fester - without any Padme shit or whatever muddying the waters. Then he has real motivation to go against the Jedi. Instead we got:>condemning the Sith>asking for the Jedi's help to kill the Sith>helping the Sith>crying about what he did>pledging his loyalty to Palpatine>changing his name to Darth Vader>marching on the temple and slaughtering all the Jedi All within 10 fucking minutes.
It's weird how no one feels the need to spam threads explaining why the OT is actually good. It's weird how no one feels the need to spam threads explaining why the Lord of the Rings trilogy is actually good. Why do we have multiple PIDF threads every single day?
>>218979355Because people say zoomers do and you believe it. Are there zoomers with these opinions? Absolutely.Is this opinion shared by all zoomers or even a majority? No way in hell, I guarantee most zoomers do not care.
>>218981458They were heavily pulling their punches for those scenes because they became so proficient and fast, that the audience wouldn't be able to keep up with their combat, so they intentionally slowed themselves down.That's why it looks sluggish to you.

>>218986967As someone who was older than 10 for all 3 and in the theaters for all of them, they all received standing ovations, in the threaters. The hate was absolutely later.

>>218979355With Zoomers and even later Millennials, attacking the prequels is attacking their childhood and their bond with their stepdad.
>>218979355They have zero media literacy.They’re impressed by meaningless twirling flashing lights in front of them, just like dangling a shiny key chain in front of monkeys.
>>218979355zoomers see a light show / keys jangling and think it's peak cinema
>>218979355they were. now compare them to what millennials made with the new trilogy and apologize.
>>219008270>t. filtered by trade negotiation
>>218979355>ITT: everyone missing the answerIt's literally because zoomies grew up on this stuff. TCW did far more for star wars than prequels and sequels ever did
>>218979594The fighting's not interesting because it all looks like a performance they practiced rather than coming off natural. Episode 1 for example. Obi Wan sees Qui Gon die and you can see he's emotionally pissed off by that. And what happens when he gets his chance to fight again? He instantly drops all emotions to once again perform time movements with his sword rather than come off as emotional in his attacks. This is why the OT fights are better because there's more going on than just seeing dudes time their attacks for a performance. Like the Plinkett review brings up the fight in ANH how the fight between Obi Wan and Anakin had more depth than the overblown over bloated race around a mining facility only to just wind up a small hill near some lava.
>>218995214>set setting and theme of new ones: cleanWhat? Sequels were gritty in the setting. Problem was the story sucked balls.
>>218979355millennials only felt pressured into hating the prequels because gen x hated them and they were still the cool older brother
>>218980601>From the very beginning of Clone Wars, Anakin is shown as impulsive and reckless.And then it's Obi-Wan who throws himself out the window to grab the attack drone. I know some faggot will say>hurr durr dat's y obi wan is a bad masturrrbut thematically it's retarded. You're trying to establish that Anakin is a hothead who's too protective of Padme. Everything says he should be the one to do stupid shit like that while Obi-Wan has to chase after him shaking his head. But nope. For reasons only known to Lucas' autistic mind, Obi-Wan did it.
>>2189814580:12 Anakin tries to pull the same move he used on Dooku on Obi-Wan.
>>218979355At the very least the prequels had a defined story that made sense in the overall scheme of things. The sequels had no plan and were just audience chasers that changed the plot between movies.
>>218979546ROTS is not a masterpiece but simply good. It was one of the first modern examples of movies where a movie is received way better than it derserves, simply because what came before it was so shitty.
>>218979355No, that's just one retard on twitter. And he's likely Indian anyway.You need to hang out somewhere else.
>>219010520>but simply good.No.
>>219010433>It made sense everyone was blind and stupid all for the sake of letter Palpatine coming into power because Lucas doesn't know how to write a smart story about the downfall of a democracy for authoritarianism.
It is just fashionable to like them because something shitter now exists with the sequels. Same, though to a lesser extent, with The Hobbit movies since Rings of Power. It will be the same with the Potter series; everyone here will pretend that the films are great, and were always great, even though the general consensus has always been that they are shit.
>>218979355people liked rots, they just thought the clone wars were shit
>>218981458kino! cinema! movie theater! absolute silver screen!

>>218982873>If the movie says 1, then you watch it first, of courseIn this case quite literally yes, because the Author said as much.
>>218993421I live in Spain and you're a fucking retard. Probably from the (((South))), too.
>>218995214>set setting and theme of new ones: cleanIn what universe, JJ was utterly obsessed with LARPing as George Lucas in the 70s making A New Hope.
>>218992118>Episode 2 really suckedHaving rewatched the first six episodes recently, Ep2's pacing is completely fucked. You could shave 30min off of the movie and you wouldn't miss a thing.
>>218979355Millenials applied the OT trilogy as the standard.Zoomers applied the sequel trilogy as the standard.
>>219010700Dingdingding
>>218979355Short attention spans. Most of them don't actually watch movies, just clips of epic sword fights
>>219012119The prequels are better than the originals though
>>218979380WERE, now they are nostalgia-gooning over being generation-mogged.
>>218979355Well I'm 36 and think they're great, so I agree with them on this one.
>>218979355The thing about the prequels is that they all had scenes and sequences that were good, but they were intermixed with a lot of dumb shit. They have always been a mixed bag. They're not as bad as people said, and not as good and zoomers make them out to be.
>>218979355Actual zoomer here. As a zoomer, I had the benefit of consuming all 6 movies without any bias or nostalga.The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones are boring as fuck but they had some great fight scenes at the end. Revenge of the Sith is a legitimately entertaining movie with great pacing, fights, and some of the most iconic moments in the series. A New Hope is cinematically beautiful but it's also kind of slow. The Empire Strikes back was okay. I never really got the hype for it. But I can see how this was the "Infinity Wars" for millennials and boomers due to the cliffhanger ending. And this may be controversial, but I fucking love The Return of the Jedi, legit a fantastic movie from start to finish.So for me it's: Revenge of the Sith = The Return of the Jedi > A New Hope > The Empire Strikes Back > Attack of the Clones > The Phantom MenaceEven as a kid, I used to fast forward through Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones on rewatches so that I could skip the frankly boring plot and get to the juicy fights.
>>219017963Go back zoomzoom newfag
>>219017963Go play Fortnite you worthless zoomer piece of shit
>>218979355Zoomers dont care about the story they care about the action and choreography. Lightsaber fights in the prequels were the best parts. At the same time anyone who cared about the space opera story at all is a fag. I only ever watched for mindless entertainment and I liked all 6 except for Jar Jar.
>>219017963Nice bait, you look like you caught some
>>218979355>generation of marvelShocking stuff
>>219013853You are internet wrong.
>>218979355People are realizing the Prequels were masterpieces, simple as that
>>218994036>Black Panther has the highest rating of any movie of all time! *soiface*Your negative ratings mean nothing. I've seen your positive ones (HIV).
>>219018647>
>>219022145They're not though.
>>219022893They are masterpieces
>>218979355Very simple:Grow up with slop only > mediocrity from the past turns into masterpieces.
>>219022956You're objectively wrong.
>>219022813kino
>>219022983I am objectively right
>>218979355the action scenes were good, I don't think anybody criticized those. The prequels were criticized for other reasons.
>>218979355I am at the point where Gen X and Millennials are so similar I don't even know. Zoomers are just a lot more capable of enjoying things than previous gens, I guess. I am inbetween gens at age 47 and I enjoy the prequels. I didn't have the hardcore hatred and rage as much as people who are 50 or 35 do. Basically, they aren't masterpieces but they hold up to the originals. There are lots of quotable lines, brilliant lightsaber duels, cool art design and sets and amazing music from John Williams. Even if it has low lows it still registers as a legit honest to goodness Star Wars movie from George Lucas so I don't watch them that often but when I do I like them.I think Zoomers have the same ability to enjoy things I do because they didn't grow up in a hateful generation.
