And 3s and 7s is a QOTSA song.

 

Yes, it does. We should be excellent to each other, like Bill and Ted.

 

I'm fine with differing opinions. Until @phaynes12 comes in and shits on everything

 

(I'm mostly joking)

 

Just tell him oasis sucks back or something, idk. I think everyone on this website, myself included, could do a better job at not taking criticism, or even outright disparagement of content we like personally. I mean that about 100% of this website so please no one feel I’m singling you out.

 

Honestly how dare you say that about me.

 

GAH lol

 

I think what gets me sometimes is, especially after I've ingested content, I'm excited about it and want to talk about it with people who are also excited so we can enjoy this content together, and then you get comments that are straight up shitting on the thing, killing the vibe, and making it hard to stay in a good mood.

Like I posted my thoughts upon seeing FF and posed a question about what I saw and literally no one has responded to it, and I don't think there's a single conversation on that level that hasn't gone interrupted by some smartass asking why anyone cares and just overall pushing the conversation back on the same tired debate on whether these things are good or bad.

I don't know if there's a single franchise on this forum that has more conversation about the worth of the franchise than actually discussing the content of the franchise.

 

what are you on about lol I was very positive about thunderbolts and enjoyed this the first viewing. superman is one of my favorite movies of the year. what a weirdo.

 

im sorry i think the mcu put out like 15 movies that are a 3/5 at best, I wish they would do better, I really do

they seem to wish that too since every feige quote lately is dripping with flop sweat and I promise that isn't me "shitting on everything" lmao. they aren't rushing back RDJ and Chris Evans because everything is going so swimmingly.

 

If it helps, I have less of a problem with you nowadays.

 

i don’t know how to respond to that. thanks? i can’t think of any reason to have had a problem with me in the past but that’s good i guess

 

He literally just explained tho

 

i haven’t asked once why anyone cares about these movies because it is quite obvious. i don’t think they were talking about me (could be wrong, @Penlab?). pretty weird series of posts from you.

 

I wasn't being 100% serious with that post, although there was definitely a time when I'd been annoyed with you being a Grumpy Gus.

But no, I'm more speaking in generalities, there's multiple people who have said things that've rubbed me the wrong way and I'm not going to single any one of them out. It's more a pattern of behavior I'm talking about.

 

Big if true

 

What does Yellowcard have to do with this?

 

hilarious thread as always

 

"Its ok if some movies are bad!!!!"

"stop being mean to the bad movie!!!!"


i mean come on lol

 

I want MCU films to be rewatchable, whether that’s because they’re genuinely good or simply entertaining. These are films that will be around forever, and I’ll have to pay the same amount of money to see them, so I don’t want to waste my time watching something I won’t enjoy.

I’ll still give them the same leeway I give any movie, though. That leeway varies depending on the film and my expectations.

For example, I’ll forgive Shang-Chi’s third act. While it turns into a CGI fest that doesn’t quite match the tone of the first two acts, I enjoy seeing the Ten Rings used in a DBZ-esque way. The quality dips, but the entertainment doesn’t, so I won’t hold it against the film.

Having said that, there are other films that I can’t excuse and I’m sure we’ll mostly agree on which films those are.

 

I always thought that there were different contexts for movie discussion, like film nerd discussion and pop culture/comic movie nerd discussion and a score could change depending on how we’re looking at things. For example, I’d give CA:BNW a 1/5 if we’re having a serious film discussion and a 2.5/5 if we’re talking about how good it was as a comic book movie/fun thing to watch.

 

Deleted a post, it's late, I'm tired, I'm frustrated, and not thinking real clearly.

Only putting this here so that if someone did see that post, they'll know why it's gone now.

 

This is where I’m at with most films: I judge a movie based on how “good” it is and how “entertaining” it is.

Some Marvel films score higher on the entertainment side, which can make me enjoy them just as much as a truly well-made film.

In a way, it’s like arguing about the value of reading both comic books and classic literature. I can enjoy Claremont’s X-Men just as much as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but for vastly different reasons. I don’t think it devalues one or the other if I rank both of them a 9/10.

 

Saw F4 last night, I think it might have been the first time I'm seeing an MCU film in the cinema and there isn't even one MCU/DCU trailer playing during the opening trailers.
