The Last Jedi - Actually Widely Hated?

Your bullshit is getting thicker and thicker.
And just like ID, I enjoyed it, but do believe there are some faults to it. The biggest being: I believe that it would be better if Cumberbatch played a disillusioned Starfleet intelligence officer named John Harrison. Remove all the Khan stuff and it would have worked much better. And with TLJ, I believe there were missed opportunities, particularly finding something better for Finn and Rose to do. But overall, I think the film was well done, especially the Luke stuff. But, I also respect that there are those who disagree with me.
This is not a correct statement.
It is a provable fact that the people who hate The Last Jedi are a very tiny sliver of the gigantic pie that is the Star Wars fandom as a collective entity.
That is not, by definition, "many".
Whatever makes you guys sleep at night

There is no provable fact about any fandom, beyond the fact that they exist.
(This is almost certainly in the Vulcan training program, but was deleted from the film to avoid War.)
This is "kind of" off-topic, but as I read your post I realized that maybe ID would have been better if Harrison was actually a disillusioned Starfleet Intelligence officer who was seeking the location of Botany Bay (found by Starfleet and secured, or otherwise) with the intention of awakening Khan and his followers in order to launch a war against the Klingons. Maybe he succeeds and we end up sorta where ID took us, maybe he doesn't because Our Heroes take him out of play, or even better convince him that the world they live in doesn't need Khan or a preemptive Klingon war.
I guess in a sense merge the Harrison/Marcus characters. But then, for a time Marcus and Khan were working together in any case.
This would necessitate massive changes to the second half of the film, but maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea.
That’s an interesting take. Not quite what I had in mind but I think it might have worked. I like it!
This is my take as well. Could TLJ have been done better? Absolutely! Same with TFA.
Does this fact diminish my enjoyment of the films? Not in the slightest. The good outweighs the bad, in my opinion, and Luke tops the list for the good in TLJ.
@jaime - Consider this a pass, but please use the multi-quote or Edit features in the future.
I try, but the way I read the boards often lands me in this pickle.
@Infern0 - You are crossing a line wit this post, mocking a set of fans. Please do NOT do that in the future.
I reject your assertion as false.
But I have ninety nine percent of statistics!
And everyone knows that seventy seven percent of statistics are made up on the spot!
;p
That is not really an excuse. Any further discussion should be taken to private message
How in the world is that a provable fact???
"Provable"? Probably not, I struggle to imagine a way of really measuring that objectively, or even delineating exactly what "the fandom" is.
"Likely", on the other hand, seems a very apt word.
Well, I started this thread because I loved the movie, so I checked the internet, where the negativity was overwhelming. So I talked to coworkers, and their view of the movie was even more negative! In fact I haven't seen a single person outside of this board that claims to have liked this movie. I have however met people who truly, not hyperbolically, think that tlj was the worst movie ever made.
