#tag talk#color says shit#okay here's the deal right? cursed lineage is actually a very solid plot. like. fighting the destiny laid out for you by your birth? solid#the thing about being a Skywalker and drawing parallels between Rey and Luke and how being the son of Anakin was a big deal#there's genuinely solid material there. I lowkey got chills part way through when Kylo was like something something you were born to it.#there's actually a lot of potential for good angst and the classic “choose good even when you're inclined towards evil” (paarthurnax style)#self doubt and fear of “who you really are” and then the choice to choose who you are. it's actually a really impactful narrative done well#it just absolutely was not done well#kind of like the “Rey is a self insert mary-sue” yeah and Luke was Lucas' self insert oc. it's not bad but it needs to be written well#the problem isn't women characters the problem is bad writing#anyway I'm not actually that good at media and character analysis so I'm gonna try to not gonna put my mouth in my foot on that point.#I just. like.. there were in fact some moments I liked. very very few. but they were there.#but good material poorly executed is still not very enjoyable unless it caters to a very specific interest (you're allowed to like bad media#you can like bad media. ofc. but damn if the execution was not great.
