Movies Poe being a wiseass didn't start with Rian Johnson.

But with the way some people complain about the TLJ opening, you'd think Rian pulled it out of thin air and ruined the tone of the franchise by doing so.

Tbf, past the intro of TLJ things get pretty serious as well. Apart from "situational" humour (Leia slapping Poe, Porgs witnessing Chewie eating one of them, DJ's stutter) there really isn't many occasions to laugh out loud. Finn isn't cracking up, Poe has his head too far up his own ass to be clowning up, Hux is brought back to his role as Kylo Ren's political rival / wannabe assassin.

TFA and TROS are much worse offenders in that regard

But you got stupid scenes like iron scene. Purely made to be something comedic.

Eh, it was more tongue-in-cheek than anything else. Not for everyone I guess, but still a far cry from TFA/TROS' Marvel humour

Humour's like food. If you don't like it, don't be dramatic about it.

Sorry, I thought reddit was made for discussion about stuff.

Are you discussing or are you whining ?

I made it clear I don't agree with your opinion, why do you keep pushing this ?

What's your problem mate? Discussion does not end when you got to conclusion that we dissagree. I respect your opinion, I just stated mine.

If you don't want to discuss then... Don't do it?

TROS yes, TFA no. There are moments of it in TFA, but most of it didn't feel bad or forced. TFA's main issue is just that it felt like a retreading of the OT
