[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9412159, member: 18"] Yeah I think I'm more a "person who knows an unreasonable amount about Star Wars" than a "Star Wars fan" in a lot of ways, and thus whilst I enjoy SW things a lot, even when I have criticisms of them, they tend to be less severe and less emotion-centered. Like, Boba Fett was laughably terrible, but I clearly enjoyed it a lot more than many SW fans, judging by the thread here, where I was basically ending up having to "defend" it (lol) because some of the whimsy quite appealed to me (like the Mod double-meaning and the space-vespas), and Mando S3 was pretty bad but I kind of liked the weird Lizzo episode where some people were basically flipping tables with rage at this like "debasing" SW (as if! The Holiday Special existed, people!). And I genuinely had a great time with the Acolyte! Now there's some embracing joy! Talking of which, I really, genuinely, enjoyed the hell out of both Avatar movies (at the cinema, 3D IMAX, to be clear - they're not amazing without that - I suspect the only home way to watch them similarly would be with a VR hat to make them 3D and good headphones), despite both nerd culture and mainstream culture trying to tell me they were bad and I shouldn't enjoy them.
