Even odder, how do you know then that legitimate criticism had been dismissed there?

Critics Consensus: Ghostbusters does an impressive job of standing on its own as a freewheeling, marvelously cast supernatural comedy -- even if it can't help but pale somewhat in comparison with the classic original.
That's weird, the prerequisite for "certified fresh" is 75% or higher, Ghostbusters 2016 is at 73%, and the top critics score is rotten.
..isn't that far off, as much as you like to think it is.
That's really nice that you think people would have the same problem if these people were men, but there's obviously no way to test that. What we do have is a long history of male lead shows and movies. How many buddy cop movies have one guy going for a suicide run and his partner saving his ass at the last second and finding another way to catch the baddie? How many eyebrows did that raise back in the day? How many cunning, secretive, smart dudes that do an asspull plan they had all along at the last second exist? Did people whinge about [insert favourite detective dude here] waiting to reveal who done it till everybody was in the room at the end? Did Kirk or Picard always fully explain everything to everyone? Were those such massive problems too?
If Holdo was a dude, she would be glorified as a Robau-tier character, but she's not, so her actions get intensely scrutinized. Even if you think that the criticism is valid, to outright dismiss that gender bias could be the reason why that scrutiny is applied here is just being deliberately glib.
Fair point. Droids in the SW universe definitely seem sentient, but are all of them? The level of sophistication probably varies depending on a function they were built for.
I get paid for cumbersome engineering stuff... These people get paid to watch movies and shitpost about them. Sounds like a hell of a gig to me.What masochistic narcissist still works as a critic in 2018?
Lots of people. It's been hypothesized that Mr. Plinkett's poisonous "reviews" of the prequels (to some degree) influenced Lucas' decision to sell the franchise.Who the fuck still listens to one?
Lots of people.
Well, maybe a lot of people need to be told how to enjoy a movie.
Yesterday, while seeing Solo, I munched on salted popcorn, roasted almonds and drank regular Coke. Shit was so cash.With salted popcorn.
And at least eight scoops of ice cream.
And Diet Coke, it's healthier.

No I'm not, and no I didn't.Which is why you're on such a downer about the film, you got the snacks wrong.

Not really, there are 50+ canon comics, and at least two novels featuring Luke set between ANH and ESB. I've read around 20 of the comics so far.I mean honestly, yes there is an absence (now that EU is out the door) of evidence for or against what Luke did in the gaps of ANH-ESB-RoTJ.
We see Luke use his lightsaber a lot in the first 20 issues of the canon comic, and while I haven't read the novels with Luke, I find it very hard to believe he doesn't use his lightsaber in them. He even had a pre-ESB encounter with Vader in one of the comics, and obviously managed to survive with even less training than he had during their encounter is ESB. I honestly can't remember how much of a fight it was, but I think the fact that he was even able to survive is pretty noteworthy considering how many fully trained Jedi didn't.SamusAranX said:3. Luke didn’t face Vader until three years after he received his lightsaber. We no longer have any comic books or novels going for or against the notion that he used the lightsaber between ANH and ESB. I mean he probably did; it would hard to imagine he didn’t. And to be fair, Vader mopped the floor with him on Cloud City.
I used to ship him and the Canary. Then they killed him off. So I stopped watching.It's as simple as...
