why are there suddenly cloaking devices in star wars
why don't the imperials hyperjump in front of the fleeing rebels?
why can several characters leave a chase in progress visit some planet and come back to the chase still in progress?
the holdo maneuver breaks several in-universe rules about how hyperdrive works.
there's plenty of problems with the film without being a frothing misogynist. It's better than rise of skywalker but i'd rather watch the holiday special.
The ending of How I Met Your Mother. Like, it was certainly no cinematic masterpiece, but I felt like it was a very logical build-up and delivery. I don't get the impression that they really stretched the story for more seasons either (yes I know they did add more things to stretch it, I just mean I think it doesn't show story-wise). But even a few days ago I saw people complaining about how bad the ending was, and it's a rhetoric I see almost every time the show is mentioned. And, again, it is not a cinematic masterpiece by any stretch, but I wouldn't expect that from a sitcom anyway.
Battlefield Earth. I saw a schlocky sci-fi movie. The internet has since informed me it's the modern Birth of a Nation or something.
White polenta. Apparently plenty people have really, really strong opinions about it.
Also chicken livers.
