But then again, when a franchise like this one reaches its 7th film, maybe it is time to start worrying."

lol that's why both new movies have had female leads and the people making it said the empire is a racist white male organization

No, it's a rehash because j j Abrams is a talentless piece of shit who ruins everything he's ever touched and only has a fucking job because mommy and daddy are both in the industry.

>To my mind, this embracing of what were unambiguously children's characters at their mid-20th century inception seems to indicate a retreat from the admittedly overwhelming complexities of modern existence

Alan Moore was the only one that -really- got at the heart of it. We need to treat the cause, not the symptoms. The rest of what he said:

>It looks to me very much like a significant section of the public, having given up on attempting to understand the reality they are actually living in, have instead reasoned that they might at least be able to comprehend the sprawling, meaningless, but at-least-still-finite 'universes' presented by DC or Marvel Comics. I would also observe that it is, potentially, culturally catastrophic to have the ephemera of a previous century squatting possessively on the cultural stage and refusing to allow this surely unprecedented era to develop a culture of its own, relevant and sufficient to its times.
