James Cameron: Master of Understatement

Say, that's a bummer. Disney announced today that due to the, you know, the pandemic, the new Star Wars movie has been-brace yourself-delayed. In other news, Disney's making a new Star Wars movie. Yeah, I'm as surprised as you are.

It's as if millions of fans suddenly shrugged indifferently
and then suddenly went back to whatever they were doing.

What? I'm not wrong.

After the not as bad as everyone says Solo and the aggressively loud mess of nonsense cobbled together from toxic fan Tweets about how Last Jedi had too many girls in it that is Rise of Skywalker, and the general sentiment on the part of everyone everywhere that maybe it's time to give Star Wars a rest, Disney was evidently planning to do the exact opposite of giving it a rest with not one, but get this three new Star Wars movies. Yes, a Star Wars trilogy if you will.

Pictured: that time Star Wars
taught us to lower our expectations
as a way to cope with disappointment.

The new trilogy was supposed to kick off in 2022 but we're now going to have to wait until 2023-an interminable three years-to be disappointed again. Sorry was that was probably not fair, but I mean, maybe it'll be great? I don't know, I'm old enough that I remember what it was like to wait the sixteen years between Return of the Jedi and Phantom Menace only to-huh. You know, now that I think of it, that kind of prepared me for the way the world in general has gone to shit. So, thank you?

He also directed Aliens and the 
two good Terminator movies, 
so go watch those instead.

It's not just Star Wars, Mulan's been delayed too as have the Avatar sequels. Yes plural. The first sequel (sigh) was supposed to come out in December of '21. According to director James Cameron on Twitter:

"There is no one more disappointed by this delay than me."

-James Cameron, making 

a massive understatement

Anyway, next time you see one of America's many dumbs who are stubbornly refusing to put on a goddamn mask and take even a hint of a whiff of a modicum of responsibility for getting the pandemic under control, be sure to thank them. Because of them we'll all have to wait until 2022 to not care about Avatar 2, but more importantly we have to wait until 2023 to see if Disney's going to make up for Rise of Skywalker. 

In addition to delaying Star Wars, these idiots are literally killing us.
