SUBVERT EXPECTATIONS SYNONYM MOVIE

Holdo didn't reveal the plan because the Resistance had no idea how the First Order was tracking them, and there was ample reason to suspect a spy in the ranks. Instead of making it clear that both she and Poe have a point, and both are wrong, she was written as this needlessly toxic, self-absorbed, condescending boss, inviting Poe and the audience to hate her. Furthermore, Johnson simply failed a key character - Vice Admiral Holdo. The worst offender is Poe's infamous yo mama prank call at the start. Jokes are great when used in appropriate places, but in several instances, the jokes dragged far too long and ended up ruining the scene.

The first major one is not taking his own movie seriously. Secondly, Johnson made several key mistakes which ended up severely harming the movie.

This once again produced intense disappointment in many fans when Abrams came in and dashed their hopes too. The same thing ironically happened to TROS, because Johnson added his own loose threads, on top of the loose threads from TFA he didn't resolve. So when Johnson came along and dashed all those dreams, people were understandably irritated. This fueled two years of endless speculation and theorizing. However, The Last Jedi really disappointed so many people because of two major reasons.įirstly, TFA gave no real direction and left far too many things undetermined. It's a great movie, because Johnson knew exactly what he was doing and the story he wanted to tell. Nothing he did in The Last Jedi was arbitrary or solely for the lulz of subverting expectations. Rian Johnson had a clear, logical reason for everything he did. So when you heard anybody said TLJ is subversion for sunversion sake, just go ahead and explain to them using this post. That is why right at act 3 all the storyline eventually connected and intertwine with each other. He basically spent like 20 minutes to explain why each of these subversion matters either before he actually subvert the trope or after he did it. All of these subversion were throughly explore. All of his subversion not only used to further each character growth and development, there is a big central theme all these subversion are connected. This is why i hate when people said he subvert expectation for subversion sake. Without spoiling how he flip it up, he basically fix that aspect of whodunit by, according to his own word, putting a Hitchcock thriller at 30 minutes mark into the movie while at the same time keep the mystery aspect. In his own word he agree with Alfred Hitchcock that the fundemental core of a whodunit is boring because the entire suspense of whodunit is relying on one big build up to a suprise at the end. This is why Rian Johnson knives out is so succesful. It almost as if the entire thing just delaying real conflict. It doesnt even further anybody development or push the story forward. One is criticizing the trope of the need of having another emperor surrogates and deliberately laugh at it before use flip it up to further a more compelling villain development and other just do it for shock value while throw a 7 seasons worth of build up down the drain for no reason. Like there is a different when Rian Johnson killed Snoke in TLj vs in GOT season 8 Arya killing night king. However the whole point of subvert expectation is to flip up a thing that consider common in fiction aka a trope. Games of Throne is famous for this at every single turn. I am not going to denied there are people does that to shock the audiences. People often said that writers or creators of certain franchise often subvert expectation just to created shock value or as people often call 'subvert expectation for subvert expectation sake'. I find that ridiculous and I am going to explain what is the differences between what Rian Johnsons did as subvert expectation vs what shocking the audiences. However there is this ideas that both TLJ and that game make those decision to subvert expectation or shock people. The story deliver it messages very clearly and this is comings from somebody who dislike the messages of the game' All I am going to say for that game was 'just because you dont agree with it doesnt mean it is bad. I am not going to what is the differences and that is far too long.

Forgive me because I need to go little rant right here because I follow a lot of gamers on Twitter and as you know a certain zombie apocalyptic games is being described as the last jedi of videogame.
