First hour of the video was criticizing the Star Wars universe as he was disapproving Disney's common behavior for churning out so many super hero movies under a brand (Marvel). Points out that Star Wars will get a similar overdoing treatment since it works. People buy this stuff.
It also comments on how Disney's influence of persuading movie sites by paying them to hype TFA by downplaying the sequels was a stupid strategy. Argues money can't change ratings of shitty movies. They will always suck.
What was distracting was the back and forth narration during the Comic Sans section and mocking "millennial" views in different voices while jump cutting to random scenes. Most distracting one was the Simpsons segment on Ned Flanders's house. I kinda tuned out there.
Then he finally gets to the movie and nit picks tiny things like no sand foot prints where Rey rides down a sand mountain after junking an old rebel ship. He seemed annoyed that the movie didn't clearly elaborate character motivations although admits TFA did better than what the prequels tried to do. He cynically thinks these vague details is all one elaborate grand plan to spin off these characters into an array of backlog movies like the Marvel characters.
He crutches on lack of sexual tension as one reason. I can kinda see that viewpoint although I think it's too cliche as Hollywood has always put that factor in its movies. I don't thinks it's absolutely wrong to abstain from it. Remember, in the past, he did say these movies are for kids and criticized Lucas for showing that Anakin body burning scene in RotS. Sex is still considered a taboo subject in American culture. I guess he was annoyed that there was no girl gets the guy or someone reference where as the other movies did. (But wouldn't that be poetry?)
I enjoyed the short segment on mocking clickbait journalism.
