Ok so I think I figured something out, bear with me here. The core of the reason why the new Star Wars films fell so flat was because they forgot that it was a loss of innocence story. It starts out in the beginning as Rey ripping the band aid off of her life and thus beginning her loss of innocence. But because they forgot that in the second movie, the thread gets dropped completely and they're directionless, and they have no idea where they're going story-wise. This is why by the third movie, nothing fucking makes sense anymore and everything feels like a wild stab in the dark. The story is no longer about rey's loss of innocence because they've completely forgotten the theme that was supposed to happen here. By the third movie, the story has swerved so far away from what we were supposed to be talking about that of course at the end when she's standing exactly where she fucking started saying "her" name, the entire thing is incomprehensible because this was supposed to be a loss of innocence journey and instead they just plopped her exactly back where she fucking started having literally spun their wheels and gone nowhere for three fucking films.
Sorry if the formatting is a mess, I used speech to text bc its late and im tired but do you get what I mean here?? About why and how this whole trilogy failed now??
#reylo#finally I can express why the second movie rubbed me the wrong way and why i didnt like it#because rian fucking ignored the whole goddamn point of what rey was supposed to be doing and how those around her were contributing to that#everyone was supposed to be disappointing her or using her or showing that they are human and have their own agendas#and that kylo had the hots for her and yes it was threatening as fuck while still being irrationally attractive and a temptation#this THIS!!!! is what loss of innocence stories are composed of!!!#TV is full of them dont tell me these rich movie men didnt know how to do it i will cut you AND them#La femme nikita Xena:WP Farscape the list goes on-- all radically different but still loss of innocence stories even if Xena is an epilogue#what makes xena so interesting as a show is it showed you what happened AFTER the loss of innocence journey and how to live with it#anyway here it is i've finally figured it out#fuck those men i'll slap jj and rian myself
