You seem like a reasonable person.

You were in the minority.

I don't recall the backlash against the "Prequels" starting until around Episode II. Phantom Menace was loved on release. And, while it has it's flaws, I think, pound for pound, it's 1000 times better than the anemic, boring Attack of the Clones.

Marvel films are all Big Heros and Whiz-bang overlong action sequences. DC tends to focus on the characters themselves.

Aimed at grown-ups.

Shit, they added that? I knew it was a demonstration sport last time, but wow!!!

But then, when the sequel arrives, it'll be Star Wars:Rogue One Two.

Well, it's not Marvel, and that immediately makes it garbage to a big portion of your fanbois. These days, Marvel makes TV for grown-ups, and movies for kiddies, while DC makes TV for kiddies and movies for grown-ups.

Next up: An all inside the head version. Then, an all Joy version. Then, a version only showing scenes where someone smiles. Then, a version with only the word "yes". Thezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Fine. He (unsubstaniatedly) caused a lot of people to do a lot of extra work during which some people (unsubstantiatedly) died because he issues with his leadership.

Remember, your jury will be filled with people dumb enough not to get out of jury duty.

It's utterly dull this season. Hard to give a crap about the case when the guy openly admits he went walkabout on purpose, got a bunch of people killed. If I have no sympathy for the guy, why do I care about the ins and outs of his case?

A friend once mentioned that a lot of "spectacle" film-making has moved to the school of thought that regardless of plot or characters, if we can keep the audience in a state of "stress" or "excitement", it's all good. Sometimes it works well (Mad Max is an example, though it also had a decent amount of plot and…

It was a mess. Way too long, lacking in any really interesting set pieces (except maybe the Hulkbuster thing). For me, the fact that I found the farmhouse scene the best part of the film, and that Linda Cardelini and Jeremy Renner acted circles around everyone else was pretty telling.

I really loved the way he made the movie look, but with the lacklustre performances, and the plot, I can see why it gets so much flak.

Probably for the best. Age of Ultron was the first Whedon movie I've seen in a long time that I found dull and uninteresting. It's like they took all the "Whedon-ness" out of it, and went with a long, dull overstuffed version instead.

I miss the Mole. It started so strong, and turned terrible so quickly.

I enjoyed the show, but the plot was weak at best. There's a lot of potential. I think their worst enemy was going 13 episodes. They could have trimmed down to a tight 10.

I can think of a certain Cop turned Super Soldier that had a number of opportunities. It's not that difficult to conceive.
