Not only is that not obvious at all, since 2/3 of the cases you have posted show a simple news pieces following up an initial (negative) review, often written by writers other than those of the original review, but you are making a pretty significant shift of the goal posts from your original claim that individual…

I did not ask for a point-by-point for every individual critic, I asked for an example. You gave me two and both of them did not support your argument. If there are literally dozens of examples, why was it so hard for you to find any?

The fact that Indiewire hasn’t followed up if anything is consistent with their initial negative reaction. They gave the first three episodes their time, found it lacking, and did not bother continuing.

Which critics have changed their tunes? I haven’t noticed this trend at all.

Both Thor films are self-contained, particularly the first. And they utilize Hemsworth’s comedic chops quite a bit, again particularly in the first film. What are you even on about?

I did. I grew up in a family of Trekkies. We all chipped in and paid for a subscription for us to share. And I doubt I will regret it, since the early reviews for the show are pretty stellar.

Have you seen it? There was a ton of buzz about it on Twitter after the premiere and many of the people who saw it said the characters were fantastic and the dialogue was smartly written.

Who is mocking the original? I think you should watch the show before calling it “insulting”.

It does sound lazy, which is surprising. If I were composing the main title for a new Star Trek series, I would be pulling out all the stops knowing full that my music was going to be compared to the likes of Goldsmith and Horner. I cannot imagine myself submitting the mock up of this and thinking that I created a…

I took composition classes in college and this melody reminds me of the exercises my professor would give us. She would write these incredibly boring, half-note skeleton themes we would have to flesh out into melodies with life and character. That’s what this is - a few half notes strung together to form a harmonic…

I am not sure what he means by the “mothership”, but I will say that I enjoyed the latest season of Agents of Shield a lot more than I enjoyed either Iron Fist or The Defenders. Marvel’s shows may carry more prestige, but I am more interested in seeing where Agents of Shield goes next than most of the Netflix-Marvel…

Quite the opposite. CBS wanted Star Trek to be the flagship that launched their new subscription service precisely because they think it is going to be wildly popular, hoping that the show will bring in subscribers. They are not putting it there to die - they are putting it on CBS All Access in hopes that it will make…

It’s a sudden and massive shift of the goalposts. The narrative has always been that Star Trek needs to do three things: return to tv where it belongs, get a make-over to make it worthy of the age of prestige television, and most of all, go full speed ahead into its progressive roots and update them to reflect the…

We aren’t really saying that we, as Star Trek fans, are so opposed to change that we’d rather have a parody of the original series than a new iteration of the franchise that attempts tries to break the mold, are we? And all for the sake of a hot take?

An important distinction that I see is that the Jedi do not say not to feel anger, they say we should be mindful of our feelings but not let them control us. Everyone feels sadness, anger, even hatred, but we should not cultivate these emotions, dwell on them, or act upon them. Just be mindful of the emotion and let…

I would not recommend this. The idea that we can discharge our emotions has largely been debunked in the field of psychology. In fact, expressing intense emotion in the form of angry outbursts may actually increase those emotions, not reduce them. Acknowledging one’s own anger is important, as is expressing it, but it…

“What would her legislative priorities be? What would a Clinton administration be working to do with Congress right now if she were president? I still don’t know!”

No kidding. Where are all these Asian male main characters we are hearing about? Glenn from Walking Dead and Sunny from Into the Badlands seem to have large followings specifically because they are representing an underrepresented demographic, Asian male. The character of Glenn in particular has been lauded for…

Aren’t people of color paired with other people of color, though? I mean, it has practically become it’s own problematic trope that black people in movies/shows are always married to the people of color, if not people of the exact same race. If anything, Western society and Western media seem more uncomfortable with…

I knew a least one person - the person who introduced me to the show - who was a major fan of Matt Smith’s Doctor and who missed him when he left. So this is obviously not true.
