Gf is nerdy and loves ttrpgs.
Hasn't seen star wars or lotr.
I know someone who takes a weird amount of pride in having never seen star wars.
Like, mocks people for liking "such a childish piece of garbage", has to butt in every time he overhears someone talking about it to let everyone know "I've never seen it and no I won't watch it with you"
So far not a single person I've spoken to has wanted to watch it with him anyway.
Like it's cool if you don't like it, it's cool if you've never seen it, but like.... Come on Bro.
I mean, I agree with them. Star Wars is pretty derivative, but it helped mainstream nerd culture in a way so I can’t complain
It was derivative of space opera in general, but other than Star Wars that genre's pretty much gone now.
Imagine shitting on something you've never even watched. What a clown of a person.
That's why I have no opinion when people around me complain about Rings of Power. I haven't seen it. I don't plan on watching it any time soon, but also partly because I'm afraid I won't like it.
And I don't want to dislike something that's lord of the rings, even if it's just a poor adaptation.
Yea I don't shit on Love and Thunder. I doubt I would enjoy it because I hated Ragnarok and people told me LaT was worse but I haven't seen it so I don't have anything to say about it.
Wow, LOTR is great and there's at leat two great star Wars movies.
Yo, we need to know which two so we can judge you.
Hint: I'm over thirty
So Empire and Battle For Endor
I'm still very interested in where Empire Strikes Back stands.
Search your feelings
It's #1
Yeah imo the only good Star Wars are the first one, The Phantom Menace and then skip all the rest to do Rise of Skywalker
Yup. Its more that she just doesn't like movies in general, and our leisure time is not spent in front of the TV.
Although we(our dnd groups) are working on her since roughly 50% of ttrpgs is references to those two or trek.
