I think you misspelt "stolid".
It certainly didn't appear orchestrated in the same way that, say, Willam's was, but then Willam is the ultimate demonstration that a queen can leave the show in total disgrace and spin a pretty golden career out of it.
That still doesn't really change the 'luck-of-the-draw' factor, though. Shea immediately bee-lined for her most natural working partner, Alexis Michelle kidnapped Peppermint and Trinity and coasted to safety on their coattails, and Valentina and Nina…just coagulated together and ended up producing a god-awful mess.
Funny enough, that's exactly what I thought whenever Phi Phi would peddle her 'redemption arc' bullshit on AS2.
Sweet Jesus, I managed to hear this fucking gossip when I was watching Photo RuView or some unrelated shit.
Dela got Miss Congeniality as a sort of golden handshake for her totally arbitrary dismissal, which in turn became a double injustice when it deprived Jocelyn Fox, who actually fitted what that award is supposed to be about.
And external sabotage.
My point is that if a very wide of group of people make the same or similar criticisms of a film, that suggests the film's faults are self-evident. Your point appears to be that the criticism is less valid for having been repeated, since it's just people copying each other - as if they didn't just simply agree on the…
Isn't that what a consensus is? Something which is reached by different people based on common observations?
Which is so tenuous a connection that you might as well say "people unconnected except that they all live on Earth."
I like that thousands of unconnected people having the same criticisms of Prometheus is taken as undeniable proof positive that there's some kind of internet conspiracy against it, rather than it just being a bit shit.
I believe I've seen both cuts, and while the Director's Cut is undeniably better than the theatrical version, I still don't get the acclaim. Actor aside, Balian is still an awful character - a 21st century anachronism in a 13th century setting, smug and superior and seemingly more knowledgeable of land cultivation…
But we don't need to see that Hadley's Hope was a fully thriving facility before the Marines arrived; that's already established in dialogue. Showing the facility itself is just gratuitous. And any location that we've seen before, no matter how changed the circumstances, simply won't be as unnerving as one that we're…
All very true.
Yes, but that was somewhat undercut by the fact that, right up until the 11th hour of its production process, Prometheus was always intended as a direct prequel to Alien. Once they somewhat arbitrarily decided it wasn't, they simply changed the name of the planet. Even if you take the claim at face value, the film…
Prometheus really should've just been its separate entity. It irritates me that it piggybacks onto Alien's popularity in aid of a pseudo-philosophical direction that has nothing to do with that franchise, yet its fans complain about it being 'unfairly' compared to Alien.
He was referred to as a 'seal pup' (i.e. a slightly chunky gay man) by Eddie the first time they met, he didn't want to strip off for Folsom Street Fair, and the reactions from the Gay KKK in Season 2 suggested that he was supposed to be seriously considered less attractive than Kevin.
I like Gladiator (although it ominously foreshadows all the flaws that would cripple Kingdom of Heaven and Robin Hood), and The Martian was good but the sort of film that any halfway competent director should be able to do in their sleep.
Sure, the duplication of the aliens necessarily means that each alien is, individually, less threatening and more expedient than when there was just a single one of them in Alien. I believe this what TV Tropes calls the Law of Conservation of Ninjutsu.
