anyone who tries to stereotype all MCU movies under this banner should probably study up on their movies

Ah, is the truth hurting some feelings?

Mission accomplished.

And no, I'm not talking about MCU, I'm talking about Hollywood. Does that feel worse? Because it's still truth.

Probably hurts less than being such a hipster

Not every Hollywood movie is Transformers :P.

Which is the case for some movies of every movie studio?  Just look up at Warner, you will find "several cases of reviewers' RT being higher than the audience who should be much more forgiving"

And Iron Man 3 with 75% doesn't say anything, just that critics liked it more than you did on average. But since you can't believe it it has to be rigged, right? In no way could critics simply say "well, not a really great movie but still worth to watch it"

There is no way that many critics can recommend Iron Man 2 or3 without some external push. Some movies are just bad. When critics are being invited to premieres, odds are that they will want to be re-invited again and will give movies a good score. This is too much like game journalism.

IM2 has a 57 meta, there's no conspiracy.

So, you don't eat shit and suddenly you become a hipster? wow...

We can go lower than expected.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Hey guys everyone look at me!

I don't like these different things I'm generalizing, that tons of other people enjoy. You guys all eat shit, cus you don't understand that only indie movies by small obscure studios are good, like I do. Fucking peasants. Educate yourselves!

At least you got my attention for few seconds. You should feel good for that.

No, but you said that every Hollywood movie is "a fest of explosions and bad writing". That's not true. There are some movies which fit what you said, and some of them which don't, so... It's not about some movie being shit, of course they exist, it's about Hollywood being all shit.

You know what I mean, in an overall picture. It's obvious that there are exceptions, but those are so rare now. Most of the blockbusters are the same: CGI, explosions, nosense story, forgettable soundtrack.

Edit: And you missed the main problem: overrated.

Boy, do I ever. Perhaps someday I can get your attention long enough to be knighted oh queen.

Yep, there are some films that are almost unwatchable and it's all about boom, explosion, fight, CGI, another explosion. I don't think MCU films fall in that category though, but that's a matter of tastes. There are fight scenes, explosions and CGI, but that's not everything they are imo. I'm talking more about Transformers movies, that level of shitiness, they are ALL about that.
