I thought so too, rewatched last night.

It may be the best film, but actually came across pretty weak. Too much ham fisted writing, too much trying to emulate the MCU with bad jokes and forced humor.

The Mandalorean is the only truely good Disney Star Wars live action.

Sounds like you watched a different film.

The tactical droids constant stream of bad jokes, the blind masters levity, his chaingun partners straightman Moe to blind man's Larry

The cyborg radical guy and his almost comical farcical nature.

That's MCU in a nutshell, lot of forced humor and semi buffoonish villians. Iron Man did it, Thor did it, Black Panther did it.

No, that's OT in a nutshell.

You're just looking for new ways to hate on Marvel, even though there is nothing to be found of MCU in Rogue One.

K2S0 was literally the only part of the film that lightened the tone a bit. Because aside from him it was pretty dark and grim. A war movie.

Nothing like MCU joke tbh.

Luke throwing the Lightsaber away in Last Jedi was a "trying to emulate the MCU" type joke. But it didn't work.

And let's not even get into the opening mum joke.

Cdtm just enjoys pissing people off, he knows he hasn't made a tiny little bit of sense since 2015.

It's his new posting style and it got him two bans so far.

Droid humor has been a part of SW since ANH. And Rogue One had the minimal amount of any humor in it.

A normal person telling a man in an insane asylum that gravity exists would naturally piss him off.

I'm also 100% correct that Mutants would never be hated in a world that worships The Sentry.

Not sure that would piss off an insane person. Except in the sense that anything might, be it true or false. So yeah you might just be making Stilts case here that youre not making the best arguments right now.

However I agree The mutant hate thing has always been a confusing issue in a world where the Avengers and FF exist. BUT Remember racists and haters are not logical thinking people.

No racist is a good person.

I have no idea why people rate Rogue One. Apart from Vader's badassery at the end it was utter crap. There wasn't a single character that wasn't a one-dimensional miserable bastard and I didn't care one iota that any of them died except for the robot.

The Star Wars franchise is far more overrated than the MCU.

Citation needed.

MCU massively succeeding while Star Wars has simultaneously struggled under Disney has often led to the revisionism that Star Wars was never that good. It's in a weird spot now despite some successful shows. I don't see anyone really overrating SW now.

There was a theory Jar Jar was a Sith Lord. He had the eyes of one and could force jump.

The OG trilogy will always be one of the best sci-fi films because lightsabers and the concept of the Force were new, fresh ideas that time.

The prequels and sequels never lived up to the magic of the first trilogy (since everyone got used to the lightsabers and the Force magic religion thingy). But I will admit I did like Rogue One (ironically starring someone who didn't have any Force powers).

No, but they sure do seem obsessed with living their dream of 1900's zero diversity.

Was pondering if there was a market there. Like, what if I founded a small studio who's motto was "Tired of diversity? Watch our movies, there are NO women in it. At all. And nothing but straight white men! And not Italian or Pollacks, I'm talking English and Irish whites!"

Assuming you're talking about politics, there are racists on both sides so for once, cdtm isn't completely wrong.

Not that it lasted long... Posts like this for example:

In all seriousness, Rogue One was only good by comparison.

Doesn't make it "good".

Give me Serenity any day over Rogue One.

That's some broken logic right there.
