TFA was bland, safe, unimaginative, possibly outright plagiaristic, but it did not kill the momentum of the franchise in the way that TLJ did.
TLJ spent the entirety of its runtime dismantling every single of of the prior films (admittedly trite) plot points and characters, as well as undermine the character arcs of several original trilogy characters, and then established nothing of its own, leaving little but a smoldering wreckage of a continuity in its wake.
TFA killed any momentum the franchise could have had in just the opening crawl, where it establishes that the Jedi Order are extinct (again), Luke is the last one, and has vanished.
TFA absolutely killed the momentum by resetting the setting back to the same point as it was in the original 1977 film, there was nowhere for the story to move from that point on. It should've had New Jedi Order and New Republic vs Imperial Remnant as the underdog or if they were braver a completely new enemy faction.
Reaction to TLJ was delayed reaction to TFA, it took the sloppers a couple of years to accept it was bad. Possibly this is because it gave them everything they'd been asking for
No, rogue 1 was the delayed reaction, which was muted and less willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.
TLJ was what turned growing apathy into outright hatred and destroyed any willingness to give it a chance
Seeing John Boyega for the first time in The Force Awakens was the shock of my life.
I was so hyped for the sequel trilogy that I cagily avoided all marketing materials, all trailers, and all commercials. If I walked by a toy aisle at the store and caught a small glimpse of a vehicle or stormtrooper, I'd look away immediately. I wanted to go into the new era of Star Wars with an entirely open mind, as pure as an Amish virgin. On opening night I knew there was a brown-haired female protagonist (that much was hard to avoid, even though I shielded my eyes), but little else. I didn't even know which classic characters were returning.
When Boyega first took off that helmet and revealed himself to the theater, I let out an audible gasp. My entire row of filmgoers looked at me like I was nuts, but I couldn't help myself. There before me was the most Simian creature I'd ever seen in a galaxy far, far away. An intergalactic gorilla with huge flaring Black person nostrils and big Nigerian chieftain lips.
Oftentimes film studios will soften the blow by casting Billy Dee Williams or Will Smith... but not this time. This time you were forced to feast your eyes on a pure-blooded coal black silverback Black person, blown up forty feet high on an IMAX screen.
I looked around, uncomprehendingly, as the rest of the crowd seemed to accept this monstrosity as a regular matter of course. Then it occurred to me that I was the only person who hadn't already seen months' worth of marketing materials.
Little by little, they had been led to accept this by drips and drabs of commercials, trailers, and TV interviews. Their minds had been so softened that they were willing to stare unflinchingly, even giggle and smile at the Black folkhines, as MegaBlack person (missing only a bone in his nose) besmirched the galaxy.
Lots of people debate about the exact moment when Star Wars died. I contend it was when that minstrel-looking sweaty jigaboo removed his helmet and revealed his Lovecraftian face.

tfa was dead on arrival.
it committed the much greater sin of trying to turn star wars into a cyncial formula
now please stand up and clap for rey as she mindtricks this guard just like heckin obi wan!!!
I agree. TFA was garbage but normies saw it in droves and were hyped as frick for TLJ. That was the turning point that lead to the withered husk they're trying to keep alive at present.
the ending of this movie was so bad I was sitting there thingking 'am I trolled here?' its like the director said 'Im done, lets finish this fast I got an island to visit next week'.
the moment they send every cop in the city underground is the moment it all completely falls apart, 6 months underground they are all emaciated piss soaked half naked feral savages
I remember people in my theater legit got up and started clapping at the end of TDKR, its kind of impossible to describe just how much midwits suck Nolan's dick
>Cop on the right slowly and gently knocks a mercenary down >Realizes he needs to keep fighting in the background and tries to help him back up
Watching background stunt guys is the best part of the franchise.
the ending of this movie was so bad I was sitting there thingking 'am I trolled here?' its like the director said 'Im done, lets finish this fast I got an island to visit next week'.
Some teens shouted BEAT THAT homie ASS when the cops were all freeded from the trap or whatever and got kicked out
That's the point though. Smith and Neo are breaking the Matrix so it's starting to look more and more outlandish. Hence why the machines eventually make a truce so Neo has a chance to fix things.
fuuuuuuuuuck. I couldn’t understand how anyone continues watching after this, he carried that show hard. they made his backstory so fricking messed up and miserable too, just suffered and died. woof. probably because Pitt is a wacko in real life, great actor though
Michael Pitt is a good actor but he's such an insufferable c**t that his character is always killed off because they don't want to deal with his bullshit.

Jimmy-gay here with an update: Yep, still mad.
Jimmy's actor is a heroine addict who kept shitting himself on set so they had to get rid of him. Killing his father and then fricking his mother was where they really lost it. The show peaked with Bobby Carnavle and then died with him.
I can think of ten scenes from Reloaded that are worse than the burly brawl >the dun dun dun cliffhanger ending with literally who (Bane) >Neo fights Seraph despite being friends because "you don't know someone until you fight them." >the Merovingian makes a girl cum with a chocolate cake >Neo kisses Persephone because uh...? >the Oracle talks about how all our decisions are already set in stone >Zion elder scene 1 >Zion elder scene 2 >Zion elder scene 3 >Neo and Trinity sex scene / Zion rave >pointless scene with "the kid" that no one fricking understood unless you saw the Animatrix
>"you don't know someone until you fight them."
That's fine because Neo could be an impersonator but he's able to know he's really the one by his ability. It makes it feel like times are more uncertain than in the first film. >Neo kisses Persephone because uh...?
She wouldn't take him to the keymaker unless he did, and she toying with their true love because her marriage was dead and her husband had just cheated on her for the nth time. >the dun dun dun cliffhanger ending with literally who (Bane)
It's a great twist because it's Smith. Only reason it doesn't work is because a. you can't recognize Bane upside down and b. he wasn't that recognizable when he was possessed because it's the only scene he's in his Matrix outfit.
notice that the programs physically tested neo in unusual ways because they aren't humans and neo is, and allegedly also supposed to be a special one
or if you want to lean into the architect, they have all met every single neo, have done this countless times (ala endless eight from haruhi)
and they will always check as a function of the system they exist in
my dad loved the first matrix, on the drive home after we went and saw the second he ranted and raved about how awful and stupid this scene was for fifteen minutes. he was right. love ya dad
It was the 2nd best level in Path of Neo next to the Chateau. And the Wachoski Brothers showing up at the end as 8bit avatars just to say >Yeah, martyrdom kinda sucks to end a game with so here's a giant boss fight instead
was pretty based
>Path of Neo
My homie. I miss licensed games of that era being actually decent. Path of Neo especially for the off-script bits like managing to escape the agents and Kaiju-Smith.

Yeah I remember the copes about how they "needed" to make a bad copy of A New Hope to "win the fans" and "set the stage" and "create distance from the prequels" and "set up mysteries.
80% of the positive stuff said about TFA was about defensing it as a part of an upcoming greater whole.P
You have to try to understand the time period the movie released in. Pseud-Cyberpunk aesthetic was in vogue during the late 90s-early 00s. I even remember video games being like this, with Deus Ex. In a pre-internet world, this shit was badass and eaten up.
Dipshit, I'm talking about how the internet wasn't as widespread as it is now, which translates into a majority of the public only being fed their perceptions through sole sources like television. Let me guess, you're a burnt out millennial that actually thinks pride in generational labels mean anything?
What do you think I mean by "wasn't as widespread"? I actually think you might be younger than me, because I'm a millennial myself, and not everybody and their mother was using it until at least the mid-2000s. You're even less intelligent and aware than zoomers.

Nah it was bad but not franchise-killer bad, TLJ literally cancelled all movies not in active production and send Star Wars to disney+ limbo.

it changed the lives of millions
Tfa ruined the Jedi and Luke skywalker. “Sky walker is missing.” That’s is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.
TFA stopped the momentum.
TLJ administered the euthanasia.
ROS was just Disney shitting on and desecrating the corpse.
tfa was dead on arrival.
it committed the much greater sin of trying to turn star wars into a cyncial formula

it wasn't a movie, it was a documentary and it was (still is) scary.
Christmas is the source?
>Movies that killed a franchise.
Revolutions did that. The 4th one just raped the corpse.
It ended the trilogy because it made of boatload of cash
You can't kill something that was already dead and buried.
Trans women are women because only a woman could make a movie THIS bad
I know you wanted to make an epic take down of a shitty movie, and believe me it's deserved, but trannies will never be women.
Not sure why they didn't just have the Wachowski brothers direct it again. Their sister sucks!
Unironically a humiliation ritual.
The Matrix died after the Architext was introduced. 3 was pissing on the corpse. 4 was raping the pissed on corpse.
Humiliation ritual
I liked it.

How did Bane’s men lose their guns?
The background action is a goldmine of kino
They didn't say that.
That made the final cut.
That's the point though. Smith and Neo are breaking the Matrix so it's starting to look more and more outlandish. Hence why the machines eventually make a truce so Neo has a chance to fix things.

the white ghost twins, every scene
Get the frick outta here, the ghost twins and their scenes were some of the finest kino of that movie

That scene was awesome. The worst you can accuse it of is tastelessness.
my dad loved the first matrix, on the drive home after we went and saw the second he ranted and raved about how awful and stupid this scene was for fifteen minutes. he was right. love ya dad
I'd take a million scenes like this instead of Resurrections
Aside from the highway fight scenes, that was the best scene in the movie.

checked
Path of Neo was a legitimately fun beat em up.
Did you know that Christopher Lee based this performance on killing a man who was in shock over breaking his toe from kicking a helmet?
You forgot that he trod on glass from hiking to the set with Sean Bean
Also nerve gas was used to make the eye of Sauron
wormtongue didn't even realise it was a real knife
and then he deflected the knife for real
God damn it shut the frick up

>magic wizard gets taken out with a israelite with a dagger
I jumped up and down in my seat when it happened.
people in 2003 watched this in the kinoplex with a straight face
Not with a straight face but cheering as frick. I was there.
This shot was fine, but switching the entire 2nd half of the fight to obvious cg was baffling
Were the bowling sounds really necessary?
This fight would've been 10x better if it was just pure martial arts kino until Neo ran away
Yeah, just like Kill Bill.
