there are valid reasons why you might not like The Last Jedi, but babymen specifically hate the movie because its male protagonists fuck up. & when they do, there's a woman in the story who learns from the mistake or fixes it or shows them a better way

I also think a lot of it is that Luke went through a very specific and very archetypal series of events to become the hero. It was incredibly in tune with classic story telling beats, but Last Jedi was very different, and to me, stronger for it.

Also, just to be clear, I don't think the issue i just brought up is the main reason, but I wonder if its, for some, something that is compounding a lot of other issues. I think Rian did a wonderful thing by going outside Classic (as in Greek, as in Illiad) story telling events.

It's so sad to realize that had Laura Dern and Kelly Marie Tran's characters been gender-switched & instead played by Christian Bale and Finn Wolfhard, the backlash would've been close to nil. Yeah, they still would've been grumpy about Luke, but the vitriol would be far less.

The Last Jedi is a brilliant. BUT... we also just want to just see Old Man Luke Skywalker swing a lightsaber for 2 hours. The Last Jedi "killed" this 40 year old desire. It's a movie for the inner 17 year old who reads books instead of the inner 10 year old.

It's a little too thoughtful and a little less indulgent for many fans.

Let's get a movie about Jedi training camp: 90 minutes of lightsaber/force montage and 10 minutes of Ben (ben?) becoming kylo ren. Man-child mana.
