[@Nick-xu7ns]

It’s completely okay to like bad movies. I think people tie too much of their self worth in the things that they enjoy. So if media they consume is considered low quality (for any number of reasons from the cinematography to an uninspired script), they feel like it’s an attack on them as a person. But you can enjoy any form of media you want. It’s like enjoying “trash tv”. Whatever scratches the itch is what scratches the itch. If people didn’t enjoy it, it wouldn’t be made. That all being said, film school is probably slightly different in that you’re going to analyze what makes media a better product, so it’s easier to be surrounded by the examples of something missing the mark. But that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy it. It’s okay to want to eat Taco Bell for dinner sometimes. Doesn’t make you any better or worse of a person.

The Council threatens to expel Anakin from the Jedi order, but Palpatine tries to argue on his behalf, since Anakin saved his life, and he's a galactic hero to the republic. Sheev appoints Anakin as his advisor/general and they start to become friends, after Anakin feels betrayed by the council, and starts to question their rules.

​@@ajtallent4501 He would trust him because he literally saved his life in the most daring rescue right at the beginning of the movie. Kenobi was knocked unconscious. Anakin saved the day, and saved him. He would be seen as a hero of the republic for what he did at the beginning of the film. Anakin would trust him because Palpatine comes to argue on his behalf, and he reminds everyone in the room "This guy is a hero, if he's not fit to be a jedi then why was he the one who beat Dooku?" You can have some stuff of him becoming friendly with him before this, that's fine, but the best motivation for him to stand up for Anakin is the opening of the movie. He may have very well saved the republic, from a certain point of view. And it's hard to argue with Anakin's results, nor why the man whose life he saved wouldn't let him get dishonored.

[@KarazolaX]

I've actually thought about this scene, I might do a video on how it might play out, lol. I can actually see some of Palpatine's arguments against his exile.

The very last frame is just golden

[@asudebirtane8243]

Revenge of the sith is my favourite because it's just pure Shakespearean level dramatic unhinged tragedy. When I think of star wars I don't think about science fiction or science fantasy, I think of space opera and episode 3 literally carries that name. Just like man carrying thing...poetic

[@isaacnikolic5895]

This is unfortunately one of the largest problems in modern franchises. Corporations are like: hmmm you will defend bad movies as being brilliant because youre afraid to admit you enjoy something bad? Copy paste trash time.

[@matthewgagnon9426]

One of my favorite movies is the Star Wars Holiday Special and none of you can stop me.

[@matthewodonnellgavaghan]

Objectively? This is the worst kind of discrimination! The kind against me!

[@PalpatinesPlumber]

Revenge of the Sith is not a movie a critic would tell you. It's a fan legend. ROTS was a saving of the Prequels, so powerful and so wise it could use the quotes to influence the audience to create memes.

[@eclipssezz]

First time I related to the one who’s supposedly more film bro, I feel special

[@giulyblaziken268]

That last frame😂

[@sirbenticles8952]

i needed to hear this

[@cyberhampter7747]

I love the absolute shock on his face at the end

[@Matty8282]

His expression at the end is truly priceless

[@noahmorris1350]

I love in Stalker when they stalk people in the Zone

[@freakishuproar1168]

If I had a pound for the number of times I found out that one of my favourite movies - by which I mean, movies I unironically love - is hated by the internet... Well then I could probably buy a reasonably nice sandwich. Anyone else here that actually loves the film Return to Oz? Absolute banger of a movie, that one!

[@aleclefeber2596]

i like that you put the punchline in the video thumbnail

[@HumbleAshe]

As someone who really loves Revenge of the Sith and grew up on the prequels as a 2000s kid (but also really loves the newer Star Wars sequel trilogy and new shows), I resonate with this a lot. (Also mini ramble a movie can’t be objectively bad unless “everyone” agrees, or if others think it’s good by contrast. Wanting to vent after seeing TOOO MANY people toss it out to bash people who like new Star Wars.)

[@SG98Films]

Well even if Poor Things is aesthically brilliant I still openly hate it😂😂😂

[@AverageBreastMilkEnjoyer]

I love the *single* frame of just the look of shock at the end of the video upon hearing his favorite movie lol

[@prime7213]

My favorite movie is The Shawshank Redemption followed shortly by Master of Disguise.

[@photonbreak9158]

I really appreciate that you managed to make a joke about this while keeping it positive

[@kingsleycy3450]

As the film nerd of my group, my favourite movie is The Return of the King. Don't know why society think liking mainstream and popular things make you uncool

[@ThePhilotherianist]

“When your favorite movie comes from a series of movies aimed at general audiences and kids, so none of them are particularly deep, but it’s critics pretend the first three were for some reason”

[@diogodifrente4283]

I love waterworld! I wish I could have visited that floating set!

[@ct6852]

I think it rusted and fell apart a week after filming.

[@diogodifrente4283]

@@ct6852 really? I heard it was sank afther a storm

[@Gusmed007]

I loved Hook when I was a kid. Saw it multiple times, thought it was magical…. When the internet taught me it was a bad movie, I was shocked.

[@TOK150]

The immediate deflection lmao

[@gonzf.6983]

I love that movie. One of my favorite memories is watching it at 3am with my sister in mexico before an early road trip.

[@TheDiggity42]

The prequel trilogy is like waking up in an okay-ish mood, having a godawful time at work, and then eating an amazing meal when you get home

[@jBread28]

Ep3's legitimately my favourite movie so the thumbnail had me worried for a sec

[@actuallydaneel]

i have the royal tannenbaums on dvd and i have never felt this called out

[@hls7923]

I’m in film school. This hit way too close to home.

[@thisisthisis542]

The prequels were objectively mixed. When they came out, people focused on the bad, now, they focus on the good.

[@transagentcooper8041]

No piece of art/entertainment is objectively good or bad

[@razzle1964]

Stephen Seagal?

[@sashacat936]

Reminds me of the time where Final Destination 3 was my favorite movie I don't think it's a bad movie, just very average, but some aspects of it really spoke to me as a teen

[@BigManBilliam]

The last frame was so unexpected

[@fonkyfesh-old]

your use of the full screen version of the DVD in the title card isn't lost on me

[@KyleKringle]

Glad this was captured. Favorite ≠ What you consider the best

[@shockreaper2964]

this is where the fun begins
