“Executing people for failing to obey or to do their duty doesn’t make you unhinged or a villain in this culture.”

Showing character beats isn’t foreshadowing.

Man, this sucks. The show was so funny and the cast was so great. I was surprised to find out the AV Club stopped covering the show after 5 episodes not just because sitcoms traditionally get better after 6 - 10 episodes, but this show wouldn’t have felt out of place in the AV Club sitcom recap heyday (this totally…

This is what the guy was being made fun of for originally. It wasn’t the overpraising, it was his insistence that someone walking in front of a green screen be taught in film school.

Yes, it’s real that someone would want to hurt the person who murdered his girlfriend. But free the guy who murdered his girlfriend when he’s about to be beaten? That’s contrivance dude.

19 year olds are often known as shrewd decision makers.

Infinity Wars is not a “middle”, it’s a movie. One that’s bad at it’s job. One that’s symptomatic of how Marvel’s success is going to kill movies and turn them into content.

If we’re talking about this period then CYHSH is probably the big contender, it basically killed their career. Though I will say their last album is excellent and everyone should check it out.

Well they do if they want to work as stories and not just middles without a beginning or end. Endgame managed to do it both economically (e.g. showing cap looking at that photo of Peggy at the beginning, so even if you’ve never seen the CA movies you can understand the decision) and explicitly (explaining things during…

Maybe with what was established in GotG, but it didn’t do that character ground work in Infinity War. Where as in Endgame they establish the character beats that are important, early, so you don’t have to have seen a 5 year old movie just recently to understand the character action.

Beginning points don’t justify the end points, there needs to be something that connects them, which Infinity Wars did not do. Because it was bad writing.

There’s no evidence that he said the spoiler to be an arsehole, but either way, the cure to arseholism isn’t violence. That’s just being a worse arsehole.

Sure, everyone should punch people over movies they don’t care too much about.

It’s shitty reasoning to punch anybody for reasons outside of self-defence/defence of others, but if you can’t even proactively see the thing you were supposedly passionate about, then you’re clearly not passionate so it’s bullshit to use it as justification for violence.

What a load of strawman bullshit.

See you’re still using the beginning point to justify the end point. You haven’t been able to connect the two (and you won’t be able to, because the movie didn’t).

You would have no need to, because you did what a passionate fan actually does, which is see the movie as early as possible.

If you didn’t see it opening night then clearly you don’t care about the movie enough to justify violence.

If you’re the kind of guy that punches people over spoilers, you also need to be the kind of guy thst sees it on opening night.

Quill being angry isn’t the issue. It’s the way they chose to express it in a plot contrivance that doesn’t make sense that’s the issue.
