1. Poor Half in the Bag TFA review where they gush over the movie undeservably.
2. Space Cop gets released and is pure shit, showing they don't still don't have any actual film making talent as they're in their 40s and are still making the same shit they were when they were teenagers, which is why they use irony as a veneer to hide their insecurities.
3. Plinkett TFA review spent over half the review backtracking to the prequels, and when it got to reviewing TFA, Mike obviously didn't have any interest and completely half assed it.
4. Pre Rec highlights how cancerous AIDS is (https://www.hooktube.com/watch?v=N_YmPkh68uY) and how Rich Evans is the embodiment of the whiny manchild stereotype.

One thing that doesn't get touched on is how they'll shift their opinions to be contrarian to fanbases. They almost twisted themselves into a pretzel reviewing TLJ to shit on people who loved the movie or hated it, to the point where no one could tell their thoughts on the movie by the end. It's the most bizarre thing to watch them shit on people being obsessed and fanboish, yet they were still mad enough to make 3 hours worth of criticism about the prequels a decade after release. Sure, writing a 108 page ring theory response is autistic, but the script for the Plinkett reviews is probably the same length or more.

The result is horrible, and you have to either positively review something awful or admit your every critique was wrong. The resulting reviews come off as awkward and disingenuous so the audience begins to turn on you.
This is most visible in their Last Jedi review. You can see it particularly on Mike and Jay's faces. In the fact that all three keep saying "I like this… in theory." about every single element of the movie. It's all things they've specifically asked for over and over again, and it doesn't work. The result was a nightmare. Rich gives up the most by asserting this is the fault of the franchise itself, that there's just "not that much you can do" with a multi-billion dollar franchise spanning galaxies worth of planets, hundreds of species and cultures, and dozens of unique novels and video games.
There's plenty more to do here Rich, it just can't be done by progressives. Kennedy clearly just wants to turn the entire franchise into being about her politics. Men are bad, women are good. White men are villains, diversity is good. It's okay to kill bad people, but not to fight them. Men must be shirtless sex symbols, women need to be flat-chested, ugly and in charge.

>What went wrong?
More like, what went right? These fucking faggots conjured up the most dishonest piece of shit review for faggots to latch onto, thinking it was legit when it was filled with outright lies, exaggerations, half-truths and strawman-arguments.
These bunch of faggots were whining about how the Star Wars-prequels raped their childhood or something. But if you actually compare them to the original trilogy they are not only above the originals in cinematographical standards, but also in storytelling. The prequels are one of the finest examples of space opera there has ever been released and the fact is, this group of plebs who only wanted "muh Luke, Han Solo, Darth Vader" didn't understand it. They only wanted the shallow things with Star Wars, the familiar stuff like the Millenium Falcon, which is why they couldn't see past how horrible of a movie The Force Awakens was, because all they saw was those nostalgia-bait stuff on the screen.
Finally it's fun to see them lose the respect they had on the internet. Finally it's nice to see people saying good stuff about what was a good set of movies. Finally it's nice to be able to discuss a fine piece of art without having some neckbeard with way too much confidence shoving those horrible "reviews" in my face for trying to teach all these normalfags something.

I was there day one as well. Went to TMP at Downtown Disney. Took the GF. Was super pumped, everyone else was too at first. As the show went on, that died down until it was just a regular crowd. When it was over and we were leaving, the GF asked "so did you like it"? I was very mixed. I had a pretty good time at the show, but still felt like it wasn't a SW movie. Thats the prevailing thought process about the prequels, they are fun, but they aren't SW. They miss that kino on so many levels, you could rename each movie something else and nobody would care, just another generic Sci-fi show.

They started out wrong tbh. They were a bunch of man-children who made Z movies in their spare time and got very jealous of how amazing The Phantom Menace was and made an autistic video rant about it. Since Star Wars is one of the most iconic series of films to have come out of Weimerica they became the most well known of the autistic e-celeb faggots.
Somehow they've become even worse with time. Although it's acceptable for a bunch of young adult losers to make garbage flicks and produce retarded criticism it becomes more pathetic with age. Space Cop is the absolutely worst film to have ever been released. They've also since become Disney shills. It's just like that one anon predicted, they keep doing this thing where they pretend being surrounded with Disney Star Wars products and talking about an upcoming film is ironic but if it was a joke they wouldn't have done it like ten times or however many they have made so far.
