Trapped in a Star Wars Nightmare

This is my “2 years later” look at The Last Jedi, a film made by a director dedicated to shitting on everything that was handed him, including a large number of set-ups by JJ Abrams. A second (less emotional) look made me see the whole thing as petty and spiteful. He didn’t just ignore these “mystery boxes,” he purposefully destroyed their capacity to provide an interesting plot twist.

Did JJ band Rian’s wife or something? Or is it just that Star Wars as a whole offended Johnson?

I think the Last Jedi isn't just a hate letter to fans.
I think it's a hate letter specifically to JJ Abrams.
He pooped on every set up JJ handed him. He made fun of all the decisions of TFA.
It comes off as BITTER
It's like JJ banged his wife or something.

TFA was a fan fantasy
TLJ was more like a fan nightmare.
It was Thomas Covenant, but Star Wars.
Luke is trapped in a world of expectations he refuses to meet.
He hates the force, hates the Jedi, hates his role in the story
And like Covenant
Hates himself most of all.
