Full Series The Clone Wars - 5.20 - The Wrong Jedi (Season Finale) - discussion thread

You're correct and incorrect at the same time. GG likes to post short YT vids or gifs, neither of which are constructive. In that you are correct.

However, there is definitely room here for people who don't like the show, as long as they explain their opinion. So not like Garrett Atkins.

 

Um why do you care so much? It's a legit question. I know he has every right to post in here, so that statement was pointless. I am just asking why because purely adding pictures like the one I quoted adds nothing to the discussion.

 

And for the record I do not praise the Clone Wars and say it's 100% perfect. The Gasgon arc was one such thing. However, I do think the show gets a lot right, and I enjoy watching it. That does not mean I slob all over Filoni and co.

 

What's wrong with asking for explanations when there is none (or not apparent)? And seriously, saying something "negative" is "trolling" - heck, I've said a few negative things about Obi-Wan in the Obi-Wan thread, but overall, the comments are not "hit and run" negatives, but intended to be thoughtful and focused.

Perhaps your definition of "negative" is more akin to "bashing"? If so, yeah, I'd consider that "trolling" in a "fan" thread, whereas I think negative is, well, rather than .

TCW, overall, has been , its and Yeah, I'll miss it, even the less than sublime moments.

 

Not that one. There's such a thing as general philosophy... but you wouldn't know unless you googled it. Doesn't matter. Those who did, got the point.

I didn't see anybody call anybody a hater, and I don't think asking someone why they post here constitutes harassment when the question is phrased more politely than the interjection which brought on... this is the internet. I've had sarcasm misinterpreted enough times to recognize that most words just have to be taken at face value. When somebody says "GTFO," by all means, you go get 'em though.

It's an equally highschooly act to go around interjecting short, negative, pointless, meme comments which add nothing to the discussion. This place is, after all, a discussion forum...

 

Also, I think a big part of the question was: Why do you watch TCW? Because that's a pretty good question, from a psychological perspective. I think anybody who has the courage to post random negative comments probably isn't going to be phased when they're asked that question.

 

I own a Bible even though I don't consider myself a Christian. It's so important to Western culture, as a philosophical study it's so intriguing.

 

Not gettin' into a religious thing here, so the gist of the reference is: just because it's legal for you to do something, doesn't mean it's beneficial.

Or, if this is more your style, the inverse:

I just think it continues the internet into its neverending downward spiral, while certain enlightened corners of the internet have actually managed to eschew the need to simply ignore stuff, and actually enforce some sort of reasonable social standards that exceed those of middle school (even unmoderated forums, in some cases, if you can ever believe that!)

Either way, the cliquish behavior you describe and the need to constantly post short, pointless negative comments are equally immature... at best. This is inarguable.

 

The post you're ripping into was in reference to GGrievous' post, which was just: "If someone calls TCW's writing good: (video)." That was not an alternative opinion.

What I mean by "enforcing reasonable social standards" is: calling a troll a troll. If you can only communicate in short, negative jokes... you're a troll.

 

If you don't treat Ahsoka and Cad Bane as gods... you're a troll.

 

Well, I'm thrilled at this display of internet lawyering. EDIT: that sounded bad; "intrigued" is better, because I am seriously intrigued. However, I'm more inclined to live by more standard social rules, myself, so I'm afraid this argument just isn't gonna get through to me. If somebody just hopped around and interjected short negative sentences into everyone else's conversations, nobody would put up with it...

Also, Garrett: Not sure what you're implying, but I am a grown man. I tend to not talk about characters as if they're my real-life friends. Those who do are either young enough, or in such a place emotionally, that they don't need somebody arguing with them. Doesn't really do any good.

It seems that so much of this board is adults arguing with kids... :/

 

Ah finally i found The Wrong Jedi thread oh wait... this is the pointless argument thread ..

 

There were edits in there; sorry, premature post.

Anyway, I don't think "Why are you here?" posts are always uncalled for. Calling somebody a hater... I dunno, that must just be its own thing. Some people do hate things, right? Anyway, just once, I'd like to see somebody answer for why they're here. I believe it's also in the TOS that forum posters shouldn't act like mods and enforce the TOS themselves... so, if it's all the same to you, forum poster to forum poster, I'd actually like to see an answer, just from a psychological perspective, from any of those willing to provide one...

 

And the motive presents itself...

But guess what? I agree with GGrievous! Writing was not TCW's strong suit. But between the individual you're calling out, and the one you're defending, the one you called out was the one acting in a more civil manner. End of story.

Why are any of these opinions anyone's business? I don't think it's too meta, on a Star Wars TV thread, to sincerely ask why someone who doesn't like Star Wars TV continues to post in a way that doesn't actually argue for or against anything more than: "it's bad."

 

What this thread has turned into

 

But yunno what? This is the whole thing.

I don't think the responses to the random interjectors are to blame for getting a thread off-topic. If anything, they're helping contextualize the comments of the random interjectors, and holding them accountable for said interjections. I really don't think that has to be policed as avidly as you are (and again... you really shouldn't be policing anything, as a non-mod).

 

Um lol...I welcome anyone who wants to discuss Star Wars. It is not a nosy question at all when it gets the LACWAC forum littered with posts that contribute nothing to the conversation.
