Honestly PrequelMemes is the largest subreddit I’d likely miss the most from Reddit. That and lotrmemes. It’s good to see it’s found a home here already!
Differences?
Did you guys really have some kind of rivalry over meming?
You’ve taken your first step into a larger world.
It’s crazy that this is one of the top new communities to make the jump here

TIL people actually quote the sequels. The PT was a hot mess with tons of issues but at least they are infinitely memeworthy; ST is just so incredibly forgettable and unmemorable…

I literally don’t know if this is a real quote and don’t even have a guess what the context was. After Han’s snippy remark about a trash compactor maybe? Idk
Honestly prequel memes started going to hell anyway. Everyone treated people who liked new stuff the same way prequel lovers were treated at their release. Simultaneously they were becoming blind to the issues with the prequels and unironically thinking they were perfect.
That’s because it was prequel memes not sequel memes, and most people hate them because they’re soulless Disney “content firehouse” cash grabs that render the OT moot as they retread it while simultaneously doing it worse.
The fan base wanted the prequels ever since the words “clone wars” crossed the lips of Alec Guinness. No one asked for the sequels because there was no untold story worth telling. Which is why they resorted to undoing everything Luke fought for so they could hamfistedly fuck it all away. Just slather it up in enough CGI and “fan service” (aka too lazy to write a plot, LOOK THE MILLENNIUM FALCON!) to make the Marvel generation cream their pants.
No one will look back fondly in 20 years on the sequels because 1. They’re narratively destitute, the only thing they do well is look good, which cannot stand the test of time. 2. Disney pushes out content so quickly that they don’t build things to last, they build them to keep you occupied until the next dose of content. This leads back to point 1.
It’s hilarious how you’re exactly the person I talked about and you don’t even seem to realize it.
Oh no, I totally get it. I knew before I ever tapped out the response.
I just think the difference between sequel hate and prequel hate is the prequels are a good idea executed poorly and making fun of them is like watching a movie that’s so bad it’s good. Then you have the sequels which feels like watching a movie so bland it’s not even worth calling “bad.” It’s like eating a bowl of oatmeal for every meal for months, here’s another CGI ADHD explosion fest to keep you from thinking about the slowly crumbling world around you.
If you replaced “Jedi” with “superhero” it’s unidentifiable from every Marvel shit show in the last five years.
It hilarious you think you’re any different from the people who shit on the prequels when they first came out.
