Here's the reality though, there is legit a breed of person out there who just hates the newest thing in their favorite franchise and will jump through hoops to justify it. Their arguments are ultimately meaningless and interchangeable, they will hate the thing regardless. Let's look at Star Wars for example, specifically the sequel trilogy. In those films folks argue that Snoke was killed off too early, yet if he was kept around to the last film we'd have those same people moaning that Snoke being around made the plot too much like the Return of the Jedi. There is no winning with those people, full stop, as THEY are the irrational one. There is nothing wrong with you for being unable to engage with the people who exist solely to tear down the things you enjoy. They are the ones with the problem.
If it was just a Sequel Trilogy argument, then it would be forgettable.
The book was published in 2006 and focuses on the OG and Prequel Trilogies. The various essays which critique the franchise from various angles all seem to follow a uniform path: Star Wars is flawed!
In their minds, the Force reflects the myth that violence saves and the Force being tied to Midi-Chlorians implies a sense of eugenics.
They also touch on additional subjects like the "hokey religion" and the use of violent lightsabers and the notion of toy collecting by fans.
The editors also have a history of turning their criticisms towards superheroes in general, if the book jacket is to be believed. Bare in mind that 2006 predates the MCU.
Such people, be it literary critics or psychologists or theologians, all have the same problem: they're indifferent to the harm they ultimately cause when someone reads their crap!
