I don’t think it was a creative debacle, but it was muddled. I felt like the first 2/3 was more in the vein of a Bourne movie... but the third act was horseshit. Couldn’t stand how it had to turn the Red Room into “being in control of all these powerful governments.” Yet it felt so empty. This old dude seems basically…

For the first 2/3 of Black Widow I thought it was a *really* strong movie. The final act really fell apart for me, but it was nowhere near the “travesty” some fans would have you believe.

I ended up with the Ciri visiting Geralt at his winery ending... it felt perfect. 

how does it feel to be so fuckin’ wrong? 

But it's their whole identity!

That's weird. Do you not understand taking pride in your work --- and art and craft? 

“While many surely still remain in the anti-Amber Heard camp, MTV may find that support for Depp has dwindled in the months since the verdict. In July, fans of the actor chipped in to unseal court documents that ended up looking much “worse for Johnny,” a legal expert told Rolling Stone”

I watched all the cartoons in the 80s and 90s...

It is unfortunately appalling how in the punk/metal/indie/snob scenes there are a lot of men who genuinely behave this way and think they’re doing a public service.

I think you’re being ludicrous but that’s not why I called you out or what I was responding to.

okay, i won’t call it gatekeeping.

Not until you stop being an idiot. 

or, as has been brought up hundreds of times and should continue to be, as Laurence Olivier famously said:

It was never a singular vision. Lucas had PILES of collaborators and people to make his vision much better than it was.

and yet

There’s an interesting trend towards people criticizing characters in stories for having flaws and making poor choices.

CHARACTER??? OVER ALMIGHTY PLOT???

HOW DARE YOUUUUUU

I’ve noticed the past decade an unbearable over-emphasis on “plot” as the be-all end-all of what matters in storytelling. It’s not. Some stories are light on plot, heavy on character development. Or joke delivery systems. 

i loved it, man. in the theatre i was full of joy. I don’t use the word lightly.
