A Lobotomy for the franchise fans.

Rating: 2/10 (14 September 2019)

Yesterday, I watched 3 movies in sequence. The first one was "Captain Marvel". The second, "The Last Jedi". Need I say it was a painful night?
Once again here, you suspect the reasoning was: "people love superheros because they are powerful. So, if we make a female more powerful than any other characters, if you make it perfect, totally powerful, almost god-like, people will love it, no?" Uh... no. What people love are well written characters. Once again, Hollywood is serving us a character designed to "fight the patriarchy". It's absolutely ridiculous. How long is Hollywood going to push on all of us their moralistic view? We don't need to be educated, and it's not the role of cinema to do so. Cinema should be there to amaze us with art and entertainment. That would be my first point in reaction to this one.
Secondly, here is another franchise that inspired generations of fans destroyed by sjw, pc and third wave feminism ideology. It's terrible! It's not just a rendition of new stuff: they need to destroy the old characters in the process, as if to erase any trace of what we grew up loving. And Star Wars is far from being the only franchise targeted like this.
As far as these precise genre movies are concerned (action, sci fi, adventures, etc.), they're made for a mainly male public. Why is it then that men can't get what they like to see in an entertaining movie? Imagine romantic comedies chastising women for future divorce settlements, or romantic comedies packed with violence and male stuff: do you think women would watch? You just wonder if they aren't trying to dissuade men from watching movies! Is this a conspiracy by sports grey eminences to divert men from movies to sports?
As to precisely "The Last Jedi", it's simply appalling. The characters have no depth whatsoever, the narrative is at time incomprehensible, especially as a follow up to the previous 2 trilogies, the narrative of the whole franchise is wrecked by the development of this one and, because of all these reasons, despite the special effects, it is as boring as it can get.
So, after these successive horrors, I had to watch something to cleanse myself. I chose Billy Wilder's "Double Indemnity" and thank God! it worked.
