Fewer examples comes to mind of such a convicted, pointless culture of mediocrity and petty vanity as Milwaukee's RedLetterMedia. They are the internet atheism of the 2010s, except directed entirely towards art that they do not understand, and their criticism are a self-masturbatory beating of a dead horse based on the endless factory of mediocrity that is creative course writing. They completely lack the faustian spirit or understanding of art as metanarrative of its time (hence, the Star Wars prequels), then throw a furious years-long fit because a particular piece of pop culture refuses to abide to the standards of forgettable pop culture.Star Wars prequels are unapologetically dramatic, silly, authoral movies that seek to tell a story of the revolt of the underssocialized betrayed youth which meets the rise of the demagogue and fall of a republican regime. Of course, that does not lend well to Writing 101, and Lucas knew it, as he was trying to juggle children movie characters with conversations about trade routes and red tape to millenials who thought history was over. If Lucas intended to write a mediocre pump Marvel movie (which RLM, archons of mediocrity, defend), he'd have done so.Ultimately, the idea of making immense budget Barthesian (Death of the Author) commentary on the rise of totalitarianism and radicalization of the young did not please coddled, rule-abiding good fat millenials who grew up to be children.And that is to the merit of Lucas. Being appreciated by RLM is a certified Mediocrity Award, and it has done much good to the prequels that such types distanced themselves from it.
Using SI to mock these faggots is fucking sad as shit, hon.

>>224041690What is SI?I do not intend to mock. I watched their Plinkett reviews and pitied them, that they'd not be able to understand any film at all.
