Or instead of numbingly unclever dumbfuck zingers, you could try watching the film and arriving at your own conclusions. Why the placement of “genre experiment” in quotes btw? Are you mocking Dowd’s use of the descriptor or, better yet, suggesting this film you clearly haven’t seen somehow falls short of that…

Like really, what is the mentality behind infantile kneejerk comment section diarrhea like this? Is there a sincere expectation on your behalf for other people to take this seriously? I’m as embarrassed for you as you *should* be, but aren’t, for yourself.

Your loss, you boring-ass dum-dum

Small theaters didn’t close because of Netflix...they closed because of the 16 screen stadium seating chain multiplex down the street. You seem to be confusing mom and pop theaters with brick and mortar video rental.

What a strange flex lol

How is a movie utilizing pop culture that didn’t exist at the time in which the story is set not a valid complaint? Oh, because you *you* aren’t particularly bothered by it? Congratulations on being the grand arbiter of valid cinematic criticisms. The irony of course is thick enough to cut with a knife, as you’re clear…

This is more or less precisely the response I expected. Nothing in the vicinity of an intelligent reply; just baseless, tired ad hominem by way of dumb zinger. You “won”! Rofl

The problem with your theory is that this trope repository of isn’t male-centric at all, but rather just generic, gender neutral superhero/action hero boilerplate that can be, and is, applied accordingly. How hard is it to depict a—gasp—*female* superhero badass in a relationship strained by the inherent duality and…

In fairness, not liking the latest Madea excursion is more of a “anyone with half-decent taste” thing rather than a privileged white film critic thing. You clearly exaggerate his supposed “love” for Aquaman, which basically amounts to “about the best that can he hoped for within the confines of this subgenre”. You…

Alternate theory: The films given high praise by AVC critics are generally rightfully praised across the board by critics and audiences alike, and you’re a dumb philistine faggot with shitty taste, I.e. the MCU’s primary target demographic.

“Next time, get someone whose bias is more in line with my own to affirm that I’m a good little boy/girl that likes the good things, because I’m so childishly insecure in my own taste and preferences that when a critic isn’t jazzed about something that I am, I lose sleep and pick at my elbows.”

You cracked the case, Columbo! The only conceivable reason for anyone, professional critic or otherwise, to be anything less than completely blown away with Marvel’s latest interchangeable cinematic Happy Meal is being a man with questionable viewz tord wiminz

On a 1-10 scale, how “concerned” does he really seem about it? Does the fact that the overwhelming majority in a position to potentially recognize the inaccuracy inevitably wouldn’t give a shit make it any less a sloppy and lazy oversight or blatant cheat, whichever the case may be?

Yeah, I’m sure you’re expressing genuine empathy at Ignatiy’s supposed inability to see past his own ego in the interest of giving any given film a fair and objective valuation, and not just filled with childish spite that he doesn’t happen to be sucking *this* particular movie’s dick or anything. 

Oh, shut up you fucking boring idiot.

“Ultimately, I don’t want the incels to have a reason to feel smug.”

You’re the least funny person to walk the earth

You dumb faggot

You are a fucking moron.

As someone with the mispleasure of seeing a great number of your comments here on AVClub over time, I’m hard pressed for adequate words to convey how glorious it will be when you drop the fuck dead and the internet is at last forever rid of your boring, unengaging bullshit.
