so i had a decently sized post written detailing all the things i liked, but honestly i think i'll just put it this way

i'm just really happy that the MCU has stakes now, that's the bottom line

Spoiler

i have my problems with the movie but they're small beans compared to what i was able to appreciate

a couple of you guys brought up steve not getting much screen time

i completely disagree, i think he received all the screen time he needed, and his story is pretty much over at this point anyway

i feel more sorry for black panther fans, because we didn't really get to see him do much black panthering (and he looks ridiculous running around in that suit in broad daylight, which is the only time you ever saw it in this movie)

not to mention, my personal favorite avenger was not present at all, but i'm not gonna complain about that, given the film's already congested roster

Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
Something I forgot to mention is that this movie made me like Thor and turned me into a fan of his character. I never liked Thor because I thought that he was boring and not really interesting but his arc in this movie was fantastic.

People who get excited about their rehashed marvel movies made for kids are the biggest bunch of faggots I think have ever lived.

I have my qualms with the film but Jesus Christ, if you can't suspend your disbelief over a couple insignificant minutiaes of the film then what the fuck are you doing there. Unless it's some glaringly obvious plot hole that can't be explained, shut the fuck up.

Adam from YMS is the exact same, and it's obnoxious as fuck. If you're enjoyment of the film is ruined because of your autistic nitpicking then you're the problem, not the film.

Ik in the latter portion of infinity gauntlet and its sequels, Thanos has a prominent role but not really as the villain. I agree with you and was thinking the same thing, but at the end of the day, it’s still the MCU and I’m not expecting anything super complex.

@Verb: He was the token black guy in the Thor movies, that’s why I refer to him as that here.

@Mordo: I literally called the movie kino and applauded the writers for going above what I was expecting several pages earlier. My only regret with my “””hate””” post now is not making it longer.

i would agree in general, but not so much in re adam

he tends to revile "critics" like cinemasins for doing that sort of thing and making it their gimmick, because it's poisonous for film criticism

when adam nitpicks, he's pretty good at finding ways to justify why it matters to him, and it often boils down to 1.) what the director was intending to do, and 2.) what the film itself is trying to accomplish, and sometimes, it's the little minute details (like having the foresight to tell actors to shout during a scene that will have loud music added later in post, a la The Social Network club scene) that show just how much, or how little, a director cared to go that extra mile

and yeah, sometimes, those minute details can definitely undermine the director's vision, and the lack of foresight or general laziness of it is certainly worthy of criticism

for him, it's about good artistry, and he's never really gotten terribly annoying with that imo

but when cinemasins does it, it's just autism for the sake of autism, and you can tell there's no real rhyme or reason for it

CinemaSins isn't film criticism though, and they don't pretend they are

Occasionally they'll have something serious to say about a film, but that isn't the point of the videos

hence the quotation marks, but that doesn't stop people from treating his videos as genuine critiques

which i suppose isn't his fault, but regardless, it's just shit content through and through, so i don't think it's fair to throw people like adam into the same ball pit

Yeah, comparing CinemaSins to YMS is ridiculous... Also he (relatively) enjoyed Infinity War, so I don't know what's there to complain about.

Did you see RLM's parody of CinemaSins in a recent video? I think it was from A Quiet Place.

Can you describe the feeling you got when he said:

“Mr Stark? I don’t feel so good.”

Yeah, my heart dropped. Reminded me of the scene in saving Private Ryan when the medic dies.

But it's gotten to the point where he will literally overanalyze an irrelevant movie mistake or some trivial character flaw for twenty minutes and then totally forget to actually, you know, review the film. He's virtually incapable of suspending his disbelief over such frivolous details at this point.

Take his latest two YMS reviews for example. A Quiet Place and RPO. I haven't seen RPO, but his Quiet Place review was a fucking joke. He spent at least a good 50% of the review picking apart character decisions he thought were flawed, when in fact, were quite easily explained throughout the film had he been paying attention. Then he had the fucking gaul to use the "you're just not using ur brain ugh ugh plebs" card.

Nothing of structure was mentioned. Nothing about character development nor overall entertainment value were examined. I think he briefly touched upon acting for a couple seconds and then immediately went into his autistic nitpicking frenzy.

It's fine to point out plot holes or details you found were a little hammy, but if it literally consumes your entire experience of the film then I'm sorry to say, the issues lie with you, not the movie.

i don't really have a dog in the AQP fight because i haven't seen that movie, but he did just upload an addendum to that review where he reclarifies himself, and admits he was wrong about a few things, so there's that

having seen RPO, however, i thought he gave it a pretty fair review (even if it kinda just boiled down to him calling the movie "dumb" a lot, because it was)

it's not that i don't understand where you're coming from, though, because i tend to feel the same way you do about his babadook review, where he spent several minutes harping on a couple of scenes that had shoddy, less-than-perfect cuts and acted like it was the most distracting and unforgivable thing ever, and never even bothered to discuss any of the film's themes, which was pretty obnoxious

but at the same time i think it's okay for people to have their personal tendencies when it comes to art critiques--not everyone cares or is even capable of giving an all-encompassing look at the movies they see, which i think is great, because it means i'm not always going to hear the same exact opinions regurgitated over and over again, and i can always trust adam to bring something new to the table even if we disagree
