No no no no no. I liked The Last Jedi. The ending felt authentic. Luke’s death felt natural and purposeful. The story was about characters suffering real, disappointing, but surmountable setbacks – much like The Empire Strikes Back.
Nothing about Infinity War felt authentic, natural, or purposeful. What’s more, we all know that the ending will be reversed through some sort of time travel. So what was the purpose of all that? It was, as one of my followers aptly put it, a “Shoot the Shaggy Dog” story. The only deaths likely to be permanent were the stupid, pointless ones in the first 5 minutes that were supposed to give Thor “motivation” that, apparently, he wouldn’t have had otherwise.
I jumped ship from Tumblr and this is where I landed. I'm a philosophy postdoc (INTJ, she/her) with a serious thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Sometimes I even write fanfiction about it. Mostly Loki and Thor/Loki (sometimes NSFW), some miscellaneous Hiddles, MCU (Steve/Tony or "Superhusbands" is my secondary ship), occasional Cherik, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Whedonverse... whatever catches my fancy, really.
