I literally don't get the point of collecting toys like that? Yeah, I use to get McDonald's toys to play with when I was a kid, but for frick sake this is materialistic and soulless as hell. There's more to life than collecting plastic toys.
because mcdonalds toys were dope as frick, I had the box of mcnuggets that turned into a fricking dinosaur I loved those toys. The only thing funkos turn into is depreciation
>I'm not a comedian who does toilet humor, I'm actually an intellectual! Listen to me!
Do people still fall for this? It was okay when Norm did it, but the Brits beat it into the ground.
True. The Monty Python guys were insufferable c**ts (and I mean the American version of c**t), but Norm never did it on talk shows or daytime TV. He saved his pseud talk for radio shows he didn't know anyone was listening to. He even said comedians shouldn't try to be seen as smart.
He's right, and this explains everything that's going on with modern political correctness. It is ALL about turning citizens into consumers without rights.
>toxic
Total pussification of this word. It used to be a strong, virile word that meant poisonous, rancid and dangerous. Now it just means "lefties don't like it".
Ruin a franchise, burn it to the ground, treat your fans like shit, and of course you'll get a toxic fandom moron. It's like talking shit about your friends and then wondering why they don't talk to you anymore. I like simon's movies, but damn man, what a stupid take.
invented the idea "toxic fandom" has been an excuse for celebs to openly hate normal people. Sure they always hated normal people but now they have an excuse
Is there any other franchise that has shit on its own fanbase consistently for over a decade? It seems like every 6 months or so there's another executive or celebrity from the series going off about how it's the fan's fault it sucks ala Ghostbusters 2016.
yeah, how dare they not consume product and be excited for next product!?
don't they know how hard people worked on it? how can they be so ungreatful!? you aren't entitled to praise just because you made something
You know whats really sad? Taking the most beloved franchise of the last 50 years and destroying it's legacy, disrespecting the original characters, lying about your intentions and then insulting the majority of the fans for not accepting it.
Disney is a toxic company, naturally it breeds toxicity wherever it goes
yeah poor innocent disney paid fifty trillion dollars for dumb old star wars out of the generosity of their hearts, just trying to make good content for everyone to enjoy... only for the evil star wars fans to spit in their face
>muh toxic fanbase oh no
wasnt he crying about the prequels like everyone else? i dont care what gay israelites have to say about anything

how many of these fricking things are there
More than zero is already too many.
tfw someone saved your pic about the late capitalist conspiracy of nerd culture
Underrated
I doubt he has any control over the image of this movie character just because he played him.

Brits had already beaten it into the ground before Norm was even a zygote

that's just sophistry
Makes me retroactively dislike Spaced
nope, it's still good for what is was when it was made
simon pegg is a changed man, for worse
He's right, and this explains everything that's going on with modern political correctness. It is ALL about turning citizens into consumers without rights.
The irony being that Simon himself still feeds into the problem, so he really is one to talk.
The fanbase of the show he said that on is more toxic.

>In a galaxy far far away
>we focus on the Skywalker lineage for 3 more movies
Can we be done already and move the frick on?
Let the past die. Kill it if you have to.
When franchise turns shitty so does it followers also

He's right, we need to gas the fandom.
Star Wars sucks dicks now, Star Trek and 40k are what’s in now
He's legit moronic, He thinks midichlorians are The Force.
"Don't make the force into a blood infection!"
He's a knacker.
>Toxic
Imagine being a grown man and talking like a moronic woman
George won
Hayden won
Jar Jar won
Kasdan lost

yeah, how dare they not consume product and be excited for next product!?

He literally wrote an entire television show about how much he HATED the prequels lmao
Aren't Gen-Xers a bunch of c**ts?

Like Protestantism vs og Christianity.
You can ignore it and still call it objectively wrong/bad.
By og Christianity you better be talking about Eastern Orthodoxy
I'm talking about Judaism.
Oh Shalom
Literally who?
Does anyone have the screencap of Peggs old webpage where he went ballistic about the kid actor who played Anakin? Super relevant right now.
>the fans are the problem
Keep losing money then
>make bad movies
>people don't like them
>pretend its their fault
why is this a thing
it's called showbusiness/entertainment industry for a reason - they receive tons of money and think they are entitled
yeah poor innocent disney paid fifty trillion dollars for dumb old star wars out of the generosity of their hearts, just trying to make good content for everyone to enjoy... only for the evil star wars fans to spit in their face
THE PREQUELS SUCK
THE SEQUELS SUCK
THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY IS GREAT
SOME OF THE ANIMATED SERIES ARE GREAT
EAT SHIT homosexualS
Anyone who uses the term "toxic" without sarcasm should not be taken seriously and all their opinions ought to be dismissed.
