Battle Royale!!
7 years ago
2 days ago I posted a journal titled "How to save Star Wars" with the punchline of making episode IX a game of battle royale. I was making fun of how battle royale is the newest retarded fad in the gaming community with retarded games like Fortnite raking in over a million dollars a day tricking teenagers into spending their parents' money on stupid hats or Thanos skins. For the one or two guys who got this, give yourselves a pat on the back because that joke flew over the heads of a few others.
I will say tho, I've been entertaining myself by watching the 4 billion dollar dumpster fire that Disney's Star Wars has become. Somehow Disney fucked up the Star Wars Franchise so bad that Solo tanked and likely will every other Star Wars film that will follow it. As it turns out, it doesn't matter how solid a film's cinematography is when the story line comes off like a bad Tumblr fanfiction with forced sjw inserts. To ensure that Star Wars will never be taken seriously again, the angsty producers and online publications have wasted no time since the release of The Last Jedi to chastise anyone that doesn't praise their shit excuse of a film as the next Citizen Kane. You'd think that showing the people who spend their money on your film respect and listening to their concerns would be a smarter move. But no, just piss them off and call them all a bunch of evil white supremacist neo nazis. My new phone has an app I can't get rid of which shows me trending news articles whenever I browse google and every day I see an article written by a soy boy journalist throwing more gasoline on the burning dumpster fire by calling the fans racists basement dwellers and calling Rian Johnson's abortion of a film a work of Shakespearean genius.
"Am I out of touch? No! It's the fans who are wrong!"

lol, soy boy. I just learned what this was a couple of days ago.
PubG, H1Z1, Fortnite, all just feeble clones when compared to the the OG mastertitle that inspired them.

Oh. I guess DayZ is still dogshit too.
As for Star Wars I think their first mistake was stepping into making these movies with literally no plan for the ones that are supposed to come after. The Last Jedi bombing and Solo coming out what feels like immediately after I think more than anything is just giving people an oversaturated feel when they think of Star Wars. Everyone wants a Marvel cinematic universe they can cash in on and sadly for them it seems like few IP's are really capable of that.
Honestly, I actually enjoyed Solo. There were parts in it that were pretty outwardly laughable but compared to The Last Jedi it wasn't a dumpster fire. I've also got a bit of a boner for Woody Harrelson so I'm probably biased. I enjoyed their trying to explore the more criminal vibe to Star Wars but I can respect the criticisms levied against it. Personally I think Solo might be one of those movies that was damaged more by the title that came before it than by the actual content of the movie.
Idk movies suck.
I mean.. I only know three movies with a Battle Royale theme with the main theme itself being the original, The Condemned (the one with Stone Cold Steve Austin), and The Belko Experiment. I'd really hate to see games like Warframe and even Anthem go after it.. Ugh..
