Looking through tonight’s channel listings, I saw “Iron Man” is on. And I noted that it came out in 2008. Let that sink in. 10 short years. Think of the Marvel universe since then. So many films, so many characters, so much money. Now think of Star Wars. Even if you didn’t mind the Ewoks and consider the third film, “Return of the Jedi”, to be the last high point, that film came out in... 1983. 35 ****ing years ago. Yes, “Rogue One” was a nice little story. Yes, “The Force Awakens” did make a boatload of money (even though IMO it sucked). But they’ve had 35 years to get it right, and look where they’re at. Compared to what Marvel has done in 10 short years. It’s sick.
