the whole idea of "fandom" is very new. like within the last 15 years. Nobody used that word when I was a kid. It's a concept disseminated by corporations in order to package crass consumerism as some sort of "nerd" identity.

>The man created Star Wars ... and this is how you repay him?
Asking George to release the original versions of the Star Wars movies, and not just accepting the slop of the special editions, is not a bad thing.
Quagmire would have been a Lucas-enjoyer, not a disney-enjoyer. In other words, he would have loved the prequels and railed about the hypocrisy of Gen-X causing the sequels to be so trash.

It might as well be a term for a religion of the original source material that caused it to come into being.
The same obsessiveness, the incest "fan of the fandom" spiral, tribalism, etc. Liking a fictional setting is fine, getting too deep into a fandom is not dissimilar to immersion in a cult.
Not all fandoms are made equal.
Generally, the more niche the work the cooler and chill the fandom, and inversely the more popular the work the more obnoxious the fandom gets
I dont hate Kathleen Kennedy, because I realise the sequels being bad wasnt really her fault
I do not hate the sequels, I think they are bad, but I can just simply not watch them
but what I do hate?
Dave Filoni
frick that guy and his fanbase
I don’t even know what KK actually does. I’ve seen Filoni in the credits of this stuff more than I’ve seen KK. And Filoni’s made stuff that I think is far more contrived than the sequels (except Rise of Skywalker).
>You're a rapist, Glenn
Doesn’t count. The Quag never fricked anyone who didn’t enjoy it.
You are the worst posters I know. You constantly shit on the best animated sitcom, the show provides you with material and is the reason your meme exists and this is how you repay it? And to add insult to injury, you defecate all over its threads, and you're such a sponge. You rip off other memes, you always say "ooh, Sneed will get more OC later" but later never comes. And what really bothers me is you pretend you're this deep guy who loves Cinemaphile for its board culture, when all you do is post garbage. Yeah, I shitpost, but at least I'm honest about it. I don't tell everyone I'm making the next big Cinemaphile meme like baneposting. Bane wasn't a Cinemaphile meme. It was spammed by redditors. And that's why you like Bane so much. He's you. God, you're pretentious. And you delude yourself by thinking you're some great memer even though you're terrible. You know, I should've known that picture was an edit, the storyboard artists would've known the difference between 'formerly' and 'formally'. And you know what I hate most about you, is your textbook discord agenda, how we should "have sex", how /misc/ is ruining Cinemaphile, how incels are the biggest problem in Cinemaphile, well what have you done to help? I report off-topic shitposts, never seen you do that. You wanna help? Press the report button. And by the way, driving /reylo/ away doesn't make you a janitor. Oh wait, you don't believe in jannies, or any moderation for that matter, because "moderation is for idiots". Well who the hell are you to talk down to anyone? You failed the 111111111 GET, which isn't nearly as bad as your failure as a farmer, how's that crop of yours you never seed? But you know what? I could forgive all of that, all of it, if you weren't such a bore. That's the worst of it, sneedposters. You're just a big, sad, underage bore. I'll see you, sneedposters. Thanks for the fricking (You)s.
>be George >have contract that gives you a percentage of toy sales >toys stop selling so the company can’t give you a percentage of sales anymore >rights revert back to you >NOW decide to make new Star Wars >instead of working on the script you just randomly introduce new characters every 10 minutes to sell another toy
Is there even a Star Wars fandom anymore? The shit outweights the good when it comes to Star Wars and people nowadays just watch it because everyone knows what Star Wars is and they might get some minor entertainment out of the newest thing.
The original trilogy isn’t great because of George Lucas. It’s great because he deferred to other people in the room when they had a better idea. By the “prequel” trilogy that had mostly gone out the window and he had carte blanches. Do you know why Marvel was so successful for so long? They followed the improv rule “Yes, and…”; successive installments build on what the previous ones had established. That rewarded viewers for paying attention and didn’t make them feel like idiots for getting invested. Do you know what The Last Jedi did? It did the opposite of that. It “No, actually…!” ‘d the audience and acted like it was brilliant for it. “You thought Rey was Luke’s daughter? Uhh no, sweetie. No, actually her parents are nobodies.” “You thought Snoke was the big bad? No, actually he’s nothing and frick you for thinking he had any significance.” “You thought any of the male characters were competent? No, actually they’re all dumb animals who need to be reined in by the female characters even when it doesn’t make any sense.” People say Rian Johnson “subverted expectations”. No. He penalized audiences emotional investment. Here’s a good example of subverting expectations: in Casino Royale, Bond gets in a scrap and returns to the casino bar and asks for a martini. The bartender says “Shaken or stirred?” And he replies “Who gives a shit?” That’s fun! It works because the audience expects him to say his classic line but in the moment his character could not possibly care because he’s exhausted. It’s communicating to the audience that he’s unlike previous Bonds because he’s human. Luke’s entire arc was learning that the only thing that stops the cycle of war is civil disobedience, non violent intervention, appealing to your enemy’s better angels. So making him a recluse who says “My friends are dead? Good they should all die just like the Jedi” isn’t a subversion- it’s masturbation!
Anyone who uses the word fandom or calls themselves part of one is probably a massive homosexual at about the level you'd expect from someone who calls himself a gamer
>somebody took the time to make this >somebody took the time post this in multiple parts
4/10. Autistic enough to warrant a response, but you fricked up the speech in various parts so no (You) for (You).
All I'm seeing is a complete cope from Star Wars fans that won't let go and admit that Disney Wars is trash and the series is dead. Attacking the part of the fanbase that was smart enough to leave just makes you look bitter and alone.
>Attacking the part of the fanbase that was smart enough to leave
Except that's not what the meme says. It's attacking the people who were dumb enough to stay and make it their mission to keep b***hing and complaining, and there is merit to that.
I haven't watched a main line SW movie since TLJ. I haven't watched a side project since the Solo movie. I lose no sleep about it. That shit just isn't for me anymore.
Fandoms are for homosexuals.
the whole idea of "fandom" is very new. like within the last 15 years. Nobody used that word when I was a kid. It's a concept disseminated by corporations in order to package crass consumerism as some sort of "nerd" identity.
>fandom
when did we start saying this gay word instead of fanbase
"we" didn't start saying it
(2/5)
I feel bad for whoever made that
They don’t think about you at all.
just enough to make a 5 part image macro wall of text about how toxic they are, i guess
the evidence says otherwise
wait you're saying an entire squad of dudes made these pics? not just one guy?
>The fans forced him to sell to Disney
Lol, lmao
I hate Star Wars (all of it) and I think you are a shill
>The man created Star Wars ... and this is how you repay him?
Asking George to release the original versions of the Star Wars movies, and not just accepting the slop of the special editions, is not a bad thing.
Btfo, troonys on suicide watch
Quagmire would have been a Lucas-enjoyer, not a disney-enjoyer. In other words, he would have loved the prequels and railed about the hypocrisy of Gen-X causing the sequels to be so trash.
>Quagmire would have been a Lucas-enjoyer
This, Lucas put sexy women in his kinos.
>assuming Quagmire still wouldn't find Daisy attractive
>he would have loved the prequels
Totally delusional. He'd maybe like the OT, and that's it. He'd probably enjoy Portman's scenes in the PT.
>He'd probably enjoy Portman's scenes in AotC
FTFY
>sponges
>helping star wars
No idea why someone would see viewers (customers) like this tbqh
The drama around Star Wars is more entertaining than all the movies and shows, it has now more fans than actual storywise Star Wars fans
>"meme" is just 5 panels of quagmire stating your boring opinion that's been refuted many times
Left can't meme
They hated him for telling the truth.
Favreau didn't make a movie about Luke, he made a single episode cameo in the second season of another show. What the frick are you expecting?
I smell the balding irony poisoned leftist redditor from that picture. Perhaps r/moviescirclejerk is far your speed
a ton of straw man arguements aimed at nobody lmao, who the frick actually typed this out
WE FORCED LUCAS TO SELL STAR WARS FOR 4 BILLION DOLLARS!
>We're such powerful, rotten people.
>Poor George crying over having 4 BILLION dollars in his bank account.
That's a lot of words to say you're not allowed to hate things that have black people in them.
*ahem*
Add Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson to the soiboy face.
Black people were just built different back in the day.
Do liberals hate Star Wars now?
Literally who said that?
Too many words I didn't read so I just assumed.
8====D (2/5)
Quagmire was a hypocrite
Combo breaker
(3/5)
I liked TLJ and thought Luke's subplot was perfect
Star Wars fans suck
Luke's subplot was honestly the least of that movie's problems. It's funny because so many people focus on Luke but the rest of that movie is still a dumpster fire.
>starts off with a prank call, followed by a yo mama joke and a single xwing disabling the biggest baddest star destroyer yet
>the Forst Order has gone from a relatively unknown paramilitary group to controlling the entire galaxy literally overnight
>Rey becomes the most powerfullest Jedi ever after just 3 days of training
>casino planet subplot that ends with them freeing a bunch of horses but leaving all the child slaves
>Snoke doesn't matter even though he can make people force Skype
>Leia flying through space
>salt Hoth
>by the end the entire resistance can fit on the millennium falcon
You may not like it, but this is what peak Star Wars looks like.
(4/5)
>in charge of her own rescue and leading the rebellion
I’m sorry what, neither of those are remotely true
Quagmire, you raped a schoolgirl you found tied up in a bathroom.
In fairness your honor, she didn’t say no.
D-does that character ever show up again?
(5/5)
I just hate star wars because it's popular
My rebuttal;
You need fricking Family Guy to express your shit opinions. You're not a serious person.
Don’t care I still hate Disney nu-star wars.
Why would quagmire of all people be the vehicle of your star wars rant
Because he's Glenn Quagmire
That was terrible
I have started to realize (hope) that all this cringe and calling out the "far-right" is done by people aged 13-18
How old are the people who call out the far left? Keep in mind primary demo for this site is 18-25
Boomers and same age range
>Keep in mind primary demo for this site is 18-25
>is
Try was.
>Keep in mind primary demo for this site is 18-25
source?
We're mostly oldgays because you're here forever and Cinemaphile scares zoomers
I'm 38 and I trash talk commies frequently
they are definitely mentally 13
>george lucas is a billionaire, you shouldn't spend even one brain cell worrying about him

Disney troon cope thread.
The hype around the force awakens was unreal, going to the kinoplex to watch it on opening night was supremely comfy.
Take off those fricking glasses.
Now I can’t see
Kek. But yeah I remember the theater being completely full when I saw it. It was a wonderful experience.
When did "fandom" replace the word fanbase?
Eh, they're pretty much interchangeable.
Why do fandoms suck
It might as well be a term for a religion of the original source material that caused it to come into being.
The same obsessiveness, the incest "fan of the fandom" spiral, tribalism, etc. Liking a fictional setting is fine, getting too deep into a fandom is not dissimilar to immersion in a cult.

Not all fandoms are made equal.
Generally, the more niche the work the cooler and chill the fandom, and inversely the more popular the work the more obnoxious the fandom gets
People suck. Fandoms have people. The popular fandoms have more people and therefore suck more.

It's hilarious that Brian still loses the "biggest rapist" argument. The hypocrisy is palpable.

Star Wars fans will forever be associated with Kevin Smith and Eric Butts to me, just terminal level of cringe
