I see and hear people complain about Marvels CGI all the time. That being said, the prequels CGI was revolutionary and I think you’re right that it held up extremely well. Hell, as much as I hate Jar Jar I can’t deny I’m always amazed at how good he looks for 90s visual effects. I just wish they didn’t use so much green/blue screen. Really takes me out of my favourite scenes in those films how fake the background looks most of the time. Not a prequel hater btw, I quite enjoy them, but even I can see the flaws and why others wouldn’t like them.

The complain about the CGI came from mt. Plinkett and everyone else started saying it, and they didn't even understood why plinkett hated it.

Villains like Thanos and Ultron don’t hold up. However Darkseid and Steppenwolf hold up very very nicely

Because Thanos looks fucking amazing and the battle droids in the prequels look like a cartoon plopped into the real world? These two things don't even compare.

In my head the 1st force unleashed game is cannon as well.

2001/3 clone wars count as well

Dialogue is not easily debunked, as there isn't a single objective way to write dialogue, and a lot of the effectiveness of dialogue comes from the context within the scene, and less about what is being said at face value. What can be measured more intuitively is the strength of the delivery. The way these 'stylistic' lines are written delivered, and directed are often very flat, which reduces tension in scenes. A lot of people overlook general screenwriting and directing principles that increase the quality of scenes in movies. It's the reason why breaking bad scenes are so rewatchable, and why famous lines are so quotable. An obvious principle is to make your characters seem like they care about what's going on. For example, the effectiveness of the underwater chase scene in the phantom menace was diminished by the lack of emotional engagement present in the characters (except for Jar Jar I guess). They didn't seem worried about the situation, so why should the audience be worried? This is a recurring issue in these movies. In contrast, look at the scene in ESB where the main characters were entering an asteroid field. Everybody seemed panicked as C3PO yelled out the odds of surviving an asteroid field, which then brought out Han's famous 'never tell me the odds' line. Again, the line at face value might not seem that special, but it's a heroic line that raises the stakes of the scene with charismatic delivery from Harrison ford, which is why it is viewed as such an effective line of dialogue. In comparison, nothing from AOTC or TPM comes with this amount of charm. I'm gonna end with a final thought: film is subjective. While there are guidelines for dialogue and other screenwriting principles, the breaking of some of these principles may not bother some people, which is totally fine. The fact that these movies consistently breaks a lot of these principles is why a lot of people don't like them. Which is also fine. When people make movie reviews, they lay out what worked for them, and what didn't. It's not some kind of personal attack (for the most part). Thus, people who criticize these movies shouldn't be automatically labelled as 'prequel haters'. It's a huge generalization.

All you do is take quotes out of context and just say "they're awkward and stilted." The reason "I don't like sand "is a bad line: because you say it's a bad line. How do these lines come off as stilted an awkward exactly??? This is exactly what I'm talking about. You're just arbitrarily saying that it's bad. I could just as easily do the same thing with the original trilogy."You scruffy looking nerf-herder" was pretty bloody awful yet you don't acknowledge similar cringely lines in the original trilogy because it goes against your narrative. Plus there's something that you're not addressing: just because something is cheesy does not make it bad. You know what else is cheesy: pizza. Everybody loves pizza and it's cheesy as hell. *An obvious principle is to make your characters seem like they care about what's going on.

The underwater scene in the Phantom Menace and the asteroid seen an Empire strikes back are completely different and they don't at all serve the same purpose. The underwater scene was never meant to be tense in the same way. The goal of that scene was to give an in-depth character deep dive (no pun intended) for Jar Jar, Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gon. We get a very firm grasp of their back stories, their dynamics together, and their motivations. I like the little detail of showing the master and student dynamic between the Jedi characters. It does a lot to set up their fate in the final battle of the movie. Plus, there is tension in the scene… It's just expressed differently given that the two Jedi are war monks that suppress their emotions. So expecting the Jedi characters to come off the same way as Han Solo is quite frankly missing the point. And if you wanna talk about steaks in the original trilogy… They're not nearly as high as you think they are. You say that the scene is tense, yet throughout the entire trilogy the storm troopers provide absolutely zero tension or steaks to the entire thing. It gets so bad that our main characters don't even bother taking cover when storm troopers fire at them. The only time our heroes actually get harmed by storm troopers at the very end when Leia gets shot... Which she pretty much recovers from as if nothing ever happened. On the other hand, the asteroid seeing an empire was meant mostly to be an action scene, with the added bonus of enduring us to Han Solo a little bit by showing us how cool of a pilot he is. But this was not something that the movie absolutely needed, but it still benefit from it. *In comparison, nothing from AOTC or TPM comes with this amount of charm.* Do you know what you're absolutely right. The prequel had absolutely no charm whatsoever. The biggest problem is that they didn't have enough incest. The part where Luke lusts over his sister and where she repeatedly reciprocates his feelings is exactly why the Empire strikes back is the best movie evar. Too bad Padme was not Ankain's [step] sister. Not having incest in the Episodes I-III was such a crippling blow to the films quality. And the part where Luke says "well I'm going to Tashi station to pick up some power converters" was such a perfect line. Oh don't forget the part where Leia says "someone who loves you" when saving Han Solo. Plus the prequel's have such a lack of charm that nobody regurgitates those lines over and over. I mean seriously… Who says "I have the High Ground" or "Hello There" in casual conversation??/s *I'm gonna end with a final thought: film is subjective.

When people make movie reviews, they lay out what worked for them, and what didn't.* I'm gonna end you on this final thought: film is *not* subjective. There are objective metrics for measuring world building, character consistency, plot progression, etc. Which the prequel trilogy passes those with flying colors. And while there's a lot of people that don't like them, there are far more people who like them. In fact it's quite trendy to say that the prequel trilogy is the best trilogy now. There is a poll that strongly proves this. It was done by Star Wars theory Star Wars theory, by far the biggest Star Wars channel. Here is three times the subscribers of red letter media. Hilarious how nobody that doesn't like the prequels doesn't acknowledge anything that the prequels did particularly well. And it's not like I can't see that the prequels have flaws. They do have issues. But the issues that you bring up are just simply not valid. George Lucas was not surrounded by Yes Man, the prequel trilogy did not over use CGI, and Anakin was not ruined by these films. I can go into more detail... Where are you end up doing is saying something snarky like "just because it's original doesn't mean it's good." To which I would say "just because it's original does not mean it's bad." All that matters at the end of the day is the execution… But your attempts to prove why they suck are vague and unconvincing (as Rogue One might say). *It's not some kind of personal attack (for the most part).* So it is a personal attack… Just some of the time. Nice to know you have no integrity whatsoever. I mean come on guys… If you're gonna steal my right to enjoy these movies at least put in some amount of effort. *Thus, people who criticize these movies shouldn't be automatically labelled as 'prequel haters'. It's a huge generalization.* I think this might be the closest thing to being a valid point. There is a distinction between people who fairly criticize the movies and those who are just "prequel haters". Good job on this part. But then again, a broken clock is right two times a day. With that being said, the biggest problem is that the vast majority of the hatred for the prequels is done in VERY poor faith. You're gonna have a very hard time convincing me that ruining Jake Lloyd's life somehow made the prequels stronger. Now people on the other side of the aisle will say something cheesy like "we're passionate about Star Wars so it's OK to be toxic." You want to know who else was passionate? Ted Bundy! He was very passionate about women...so much so that he killed dozen of them. Just because you're passionate about something doesn't mean that you shouldn't be held accountable. And the fact that the biggest critics of the prequels don't ever hold themselves to a higher standard is an issue. Look nobody's telling you to like these movies. If you wanna just watch the OT and ST and skip the PT.....THEN NOBODY IS STOPPING YOU. BUT Don't do this thing that we all have to validate your own disappointment with the movies. I love the Star Wars prequel trilogy and if that bothers you… You shouldn't be on this platform. MTFBWU

@@user-ek8ps1yl3n Film IS subjective. It's why you like the prequels and I don't (with the exception of ROTS). As with all art, there is a certain amount of objectivity to film criticism. (You can't turn in a blank palette at a museum and expect it to be displayed). However, along with plenty other subjective metrics, the weighing of these objective metrics differs from person to person. Also, I was not trying to claim that the prequels have bad dialogue, as I recognize the original movies had some odd lines here and there as well. I was just pointing out that the delivery of some of the seemingly cornier lines was much stronger in the originals. Again, you might not agree because film is ultimately subjective. Also the Star Wars Theory poll thing seems very biased as the poll was posted by a massive prequel fan who would attract an audience with similar likings, but that's besides the point. You seemed to misjudge what I meant when I said "It's not a personal attack (for the most part)". By "for the most part", I am excluding those "fans" who do actually attack people for liking the movies. I suppose I could have worded that slightly differently. I'll admit, my comparison between the Jar Jar scene and the asteroid scene in ESB was not the best choice. However, I still think the prequels suffered from a lack of energy that made a lot of action scenes less enjoyable (the asteroid scene in AOTC, for example). And yes, I acknowledge that the Jedi are supposed to be composed, but I feel that there's a way to do it well, and the prequels did not hit the mark for me. It's why the Anakin vs Dooku duel in AOTC was less enjoyable in comparison to the duel in ESB. In ESB there was dialogue, emotion, and character, not to mention the big plot twist at the end. I will say, however that AOTC was the worst of the three for me, and the duel in the phantom menace, and to an extent the duels in ROTS both did a much better job at those things. My general point still stands, though.

@@jamessteadman933Film is NOT subjective

⁠@@jamessteadman933All of what you said is false. Film is NOT subjective

No it isn’t justified

@@firestriker3580 I also don't think it's justified, because I don't accept the premise that Anakin and Luke were whiny. But if someone else did accept that premise, then they could conclude that the PT is bad on the basis of an unlikeable protagonist if such is their standard for protagonists that it would irredeemably ruin their experience with any piece of fiction, so long as they also find their experience with the OT irredeemably poor for the same reasons, *and* so long as they also accept the _second_ premise that Anakin's and Luke's behaviors aren't distinguished from one another. But, to challenge that second premise, because I've had some time to deliberate on the matter, I would actually argue that Anakin's ill-temper, while perhaps unlikeable to some, has a greater purpose than Luke's, because those are the seeds for Anakin's rejection of the Jedi Order's dogma, whereas Luke is petulant because... reasons? Relatability I guess? It's his impatience, not his whining that hinders Luke from truly becoming a Jedi in Episode V, so I dunno why Luke acts like such a child in Episode IV other than just being kind of relatable. Either way, it's fine for people to dislike Anakin or Luke, because that's how taste in media works, but there's no way they can call Anakin's impetuous behavior an objective mistake (and it's often blown out of proportion when being described, because it's really not that intrusive in the first place) because it was quite intentional and serves an important purpose for his turn to the dark side.

if someone dislikes both Luke and Anakin bacause they are whiney i can understand it otherwise not so much

Not disagree

No

In the Revenge of the Sith novelization Anakin treats Padmé very badly, he acts on the verge of abuse with her and before she tells him that she's pregnant, he accuses her of cheating on him. Since I’m a huge fan of the Anakin x Padmé couple, I much prefer the way Anakin and Padmé are represented in the movies, because in the movies Anakin is always kind and sweet with her until he falls to the Dark Side, so I much prefer this version of Anakin over that of the novel. However, this does not alter the fact that in the novel there is a lot of interesting information, which I integrate in my head-canon, such as the idea that Anakin wanted to be promoted to the rank of master to access the forbidden section of the archives of the Temple.

I liked how how horrible and into himself he was as he became Vader; the confidence after he “killed the dragon” which was his fear, further divided Anakin and Vader into separate personalities. I thought the cheating bit was due to Anakin becoming paranoid by Palpatines “advice.” Anyways I just started the EU after being brainwashed that it was garbage by new fanatics.

What are their flaws tell me

@@yaj_5002 Mostly the execution and direction/acting of the actors. The story is solid it was how it was executed that was poorly done. For example Anakin's turn to the dark side is unrealistic and felt extremely rushed ultimately making Anakin look like he was always a piece of shit to begin with, which undermines his redemption in ROTJ. Some of the dialogue is really bad and no the "context" doesn't make the "I don't like sand" line any better. And don't get me started on the romance between Anakin and Padme. It's extremely unrealistic and they have zero chemistry. Anakin comes off as awkward/mentally ill when talking to Padme which, if she was a real person would reject his ass immediately. On top of that he admits to murdering women and children that probably had nothing to do with his mother's kidnapping and she still goes ahead and marries him literally hours later. Either Padme has a fetish for mass murders or maybe, I don't know, maybe the writing is just shit in these movies. Please I would love to see someone actually justify the romance between Anakin and Padme. And there's plenty more examples I could present but I don't feel like writing an essay to be honest.

From Wookiepedia - "Lucas has said that the plot and characters in the 1958 Japanese film The Hidden Fortress, directed by Akira Kurosawa, was a major inspiration. Additionally, the film influenced Lucas to tell the story of Star Wars from the viewpoint of the humble droids, rather than a major player."

@Kenobi kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdeTnbyVqamcZnU.html Looks like it's him flying out and shooting the weak point to me 🤣. I can grant maybe in his young life he's developed the engineering expertise to build them? But his piloting ability is blatantly said outright to be due to his connection to the force. The force will do whatever the plot of any given star wars story needs it to do. I'm not a "Prequels Hater", more a prequels realist. Gotta say it's amusing aswell that all the hate and vitriol levvied at the sequel trilogy now by the prequel fans, is exactly the same as that thrown at the prequel trilogy by the OT fans xD. Maybe it's a generational thing, your star wars is your star wars man. But this "attachment" to any one trilogy is very unbecoming of a Jedi ;). For me the Prequels had some kick ass laser sword fights, and a decent origin story for lord Vader (made better by the EU stuff). Also seeing Ian Mcdiarmid ham it up is a treat in every generation. Oh and Qui-Gon is a better Jedi master than Ben Kenobi ever was.

Given those like RedLetterMedia and Cosmonaut's reviews are very reflective off of false assumptions of what they think "probably" happened behind the scenes and given a lot of prequel haters try to be the "Be-All End-All" of the Prequels as movies, the least they could do is see if what they claim about George Lucas and the actors is accurate. 8. Yes it is. People can't pull their heads out of their asses and assess the context of whatever scene they think is bad. 7. You give no examples to the Prequels contradicting the Original Trilogy aside from the Special Editions, which were also made by George. Listen buddy, George has every right to update HIS movies. Also to note that the start of the Special Edition changes predate the Prequel Trilogy by 2 years. Also, saying that the films contradict the "spirit" of Star Wars is that same OT Fanboy talking point. These movies don't "feel" like the Original movies which they don't have to given the Prequels are telling a different story with a different tone. I have no clue what you're going on about. Also, you have obviously never seen the Prequel Haters who desperately try to use "TCW is what people really like" narrative. I've seen it countless times in comments sections and reddit. Also I'm going to make my TCW S2 review very soon, so I'm going into more detail about why I don't like that show very well. 6. Your defense for the side villains is so pathetically weak that I had to squint when I saw it just to make sure I read that correctly. "We don't know anything about them" As for Vader, whether you wanted to see his backstory is not a flaw with the movies, I hear this a lot of OT Fanboys "We didn't want the Prequels" even though absolutely everyone was fucking hyped for the Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. As for Anakin/Darth Vader being a badass, I'm talking about it with both perspectives, with or without the Prequels. It's because you misunderstood the core character of Darth Vader that you complained about Anakin being some whiny kid and going ballistic on both the actors who played him. You thought he was a badass warrior at his core. 5. You have heard, but haven't listened. The Prequels' existence was justified because they were made integral to the story and the Sequels weren't. The Sequels are pointless extensions made with fan service as it's main selling point while the Prequels were made to be the introduction to the story, not just "3 movies of backstory" as so many people claim. Just because they weren't made first means nothing. They are still the start of the story and how the Complete Saga is meant to be watched. Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi on the other hand are justified sequels because they continue the story in a meaningful way. The Sequel Trilogy just reset the conflict to "Rebels VS. Empire" all over again, invalidating the original 6 movies. You are mistaking what I said about prioritizing Fan Service with Fan Service on it's own. 4. You obviously haven't heard of reality. We're born with certain advantages and disadvantages, and it's what we make of it that makes us great. You are ignoring key characters of Star Wars who didn't use the force, like Han Solo. Also Anakin was a character that came from nowhere. Just because he was the prophesized chosen one doesn't change that. You again, have a fundamental misunderstanding of the story (and reality) George created and your fantasy is nothing more than a delusional wet-dream. You also didn't listen to when I said Force Sensitivity was established in RETURN OF THE JEDI. You are saying the same OT Fanatical crap that J.J. Abrams expressed in interviews which showed he put his own personal experience with the movie over established continuity. 3. You weren't paying attention and missing the point. George Lucas is can make mistakes like any other filmmaker but he cannot be argued with when it comes to the story. Not how a story is presented or anything like that, just, the story, and so many people always pretend their version of Star Wars is the correct one. Nothing I say about the STORY is "my interpretation", it is based of what the original creator said. This applies to every single story and their original creator and it can only be criticized if the creator contradicts their own work (Unless they update it like George did with the Special Editions which he has every right to). Only the original creator decides what is and isn't their own creation. 2. You're not listening and missing the point. By your shallow standards, silent movies for example would be deemed bad automatically. And I also said Prequel Haters have the attention span of a goldfish, so it's not like anything that isn't screaming in your face like the Prequels would appeal to them. But that doesn't make them bad. You also don't give much reasoning. 1. "They didn't know their audience" is laughable. You saying that Star Wars is simple is the same idiocy from Cosmonaut Variety Hour all over again. It's not up to you to decide what Star Wars is or isn't. Only George Lucas can. Also your shallowness comes into play AGAIN because you act like politics are all the Prequels are, even though the political scenes go on for less than 10 minutes in all three movies combined. Now go away, I've had enough of you.

All of that is false and a million lightsabers are impressive. And no it was the service of everything and it WAS because they used it

There IS right and wrong

No matter what kind of lies you want to make, the prequels do NOT suck. Accept that fact and stop coming here! He isn’t spinning things and you are nothing but a manchild.

@@firestriker3580 Keep telling yourself that soiboi. Lolololololol!

@@firestriker3580 Whoa, please calm down. Look, I understand why you hate the prequel hate bandwagon from the early 2010s, and how it effected the quality of the sequels. However you seem to be a bit overreacting in your responses to other people who hate the prequels and love the sequels. I may not agree with them, but spamming how they're wrong isn't really helping proving your points. So maybe cut down at the amount of comments you put out, and try to be a bit respectful?

@Kenobi 🅱️ased

@@loganveracruz6328 dead wrong soyboy. It’s the sequels that suck.
