According to these two bloggers the TLJ is about:
"Toxic Masculinity Is the True Villain of Star Wars: The Last Jedi"
Time to talk about the competent women and the emotionally-challenged men of Star Wars.
"Star Wars: The Last Jedi Offers the Harsh Condemnation of Mansplaining We Need in 2017" This message—women being largely right, and men being mostly wrong—extends to most but not all aspects of The Last Jedi.Lol. Lemme mansplain sumthin for dem gurlz.... No, no one wants to ever have sex with you. Smokin' Joe accepts your challenge.

Also, Joe likes men, apparently, so I'm not sure this is fair (The whispered sweet nothings to BO were laced with leather and handcuffs)

Too lazy to look up the relevant Plinkett commentary on that, but rest assured it exists. Pretend I posted it (hint: it debunks this view) Also, funny that even with lightsaber fights, the best ones out there aren't seen in the films (at least from a choreography/spectacle viewpoint) Would this be the commentary in question?
Just watched it for the first time myself, if so. I'll agree with Plinkett that a fight should be a tool to tell a story like in the OT, as opposed to the story being a tool to have a fight like in the PT, and that the PT's fights felt lacking in terms of character. That doesn't make the PT fights completely unenjoyable of course, but it does reduce them to the roles of dumb popcorn fodder and meme fuel when they could have been something more memorable. Meh each duel in the prequels told a story a pretty good one i might add.

All I can say that the throne room fight in TLJ was kinda well choreographed, not executed on AAA standard but still good quality and had a distinct artistic flair.
However, it was obvious right from the very first moment that this is just some props built for an arena. The "world-building" in that scene was completely lacking, there is no suspension of belief when it looks like a sequence from one of these old movies with girl dance squads and the main guys coming down a flashy stair in the spotlight.
While you can actually use this kind of immersion breaking as artistic tool, it wasn't like this in this scene, it ends up as a scene where you ask yourself: "why did they do it cheap like this?" it kinda doesn't fit into star wars.

This is my criticism of several Marvel movies as well. Sure, I worked on Guardians of the Galaxy 2, so I know what the sets looked like. Still, every round set on Ego's planet looked like a ridiculous disco floor, and so obviously a blue screen background... It is far worse in TFA and TLJ, especially the scene you mention. It is called carelessness, from the asshats who made The Black Hole. They ripped off Star Wars then, they do so again. All of this has happened before.

They don’t have permission to use the content yet still did so yes thieves. The fact they give it for free is irrelevant if they don’t have permission. What term would you use? NPCs tend to agree with terms of services in absolute like they're sacred or something.

There's no such thing as "perfect characters" so that line or argumentation is pointless.
