I still can’t really fathom it, it’s one of the best SW movies ever made imo.

Just trying to help you fathom things.

I enjoyed Rise of Skywalker but I can understand the reasons why people didn't like it. It has been six years, can you still not admit you understand the criticisms of a movie? I mean it's fine to enjoy a movie despite it's flaws, there's no need to pretend that it's perfect.

"I can't fathom it" doesn't mean "I haven't heard the criticisms of this movie". I mean that I remain surprised at how long lasting and vitriolic the hate for it is, as you're demonstrating by popping in to complain about how toxic last jedi fans are while also trying to tell me what you hate about a thing I love.

And I know you don't mean it that way but goddamn am I tired of having a conversation like this every time I mention liking the movie online for more than half a decade.
