I think it's funny that in this thread ST: Nemesis, STXI, and the Star Wars prequels have all been referenced as poor "because they're from Team B," when that's like the very opposite of the case. Just look at how much the SW prequels violate previous continuity-
-Anakin being a "great pilot"
-Obi-Wan and Anakin being friends
-Leia remembering her mother
-Yoda training Obi-Wan
-Obi-Wan taking it upon himself to train Anakin
-Anakin being a good man
each of these were violated(yes, if you want to, you can rationalize all of these as not REALLY being violated, but let's not be disingenuous )
do you think continuity hound SW fanboys would've produced prequels like that?
This is just an example of human nature, where you lump something you don't like with a category you don't like, even if it doesn't fit.
"I don't like the rabid fanboy mentality-I also didn't like Movie X-Therefore, Movie X was a result of the fanboy mentality."
Oh, as for the poll-Team A, but only marginally.
