    I generally agree, but

    Was the ST a garbage fire? No! It was also fine. Some of it was ok, some of it was actually good. But as a whole, it was fine.

    I’m sorry this objectively is wrong. The ST was the definition of garbage fire. There was nothing fine with it.

      objectively

      I do not think that word means what you think it means.

          Then this is exactly the kind of conversation-ending, inane, useless statement I’m talking about. You’re not actually saying anything; the only possible responses are agreement (in which case, nothing has been gained) or disagreement (in which case, no one’s mind will be changed). It’s the most boring, the most tiring way to have an online discussion. Stating your opinion as an opinion, with a reasoning, is so much more interesting and productive.

            I’m not interested in a discussion, this topic was already discussed enough and you can read the obvious results everywhere online.

            The general consensus is that Episode 7 was a soulless remake of Episode 4 and would be fine by itself if it weren’t for Episode 8 and 9, which managed to even turn Episode 7 to an irrelevant piece of media.

              And yet the prequel trilogy, after almost two decades, is being reevaluated and reconsidered. Conversations never end. Things are examined in a new light and different pieces are focused upon. If the conversation about Star Wars was forced to end after one poorly-received decision, the whole franchise would’ve ended with the Special Edition.

              and you can read the obvious results everywhere online.

              The general consensus is that […]

              No, that was the groupthink. There’s no consensus reasoning for those conclusions, which means it was just the “Orthodox Online Opinion.” I prefer to think for myself.

                No they were not re-evaluated - a few years ago some trolls on the internet sarcastically praised them and then some daft idiots didn’t get the joke and thought they were serious.

                  or maybe the opinion you thought was so ridiculous that nobody would ever seriously hold it isn’t as ridiculous as you thought and you need to get some perspective

      the objective definition of garbage fire is literal refuse that is aflame. the sequel trilogies are movies, not quickly-oxidizing litter. the phrase can be used subjectively to describe the percieved quality of something, which is what you’re doing here. if you’re going to pedant at least do it right.

        I’m quite sure they are the latter

      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I rather enjoyed 7 and 8. Granted I’m not a huge Star Wars fan, but I thought they were fun adventure movies with some really cool moments.
