Everything wrong with A Quiet Place

Plus, what makes you think this didn't happen. The movie takes place in their little world and they are cutoff from what's happening to the rest of the world.
Did I say that CS shares the same political ideals with those two groups?
I noticed from my experiences those two groups' behaviors stem from a deep cynicism about things that ultimately don't matter.
That too. It's a movie with an extremely narrow focus over a short period of time, like The Mist
In zombie movies, we accept the fact that the military was overrun, even though that part of the apocalypse always gets skipped over because of unbelievable it would be in practice. Because the how and why did society collapse doesn't usually matter to the main narrative or the conflict the characters are dealing with, just that it did and this is the world that the characters inhabit now.
I don't get why that doesn't apply to A Quiet Place
In my view, the film absolutely has some problems from a realism standpoint, but honestly I'm able to forgive those because I don't feel like internal consistency/logic was what the film was about. To me, the film was about coping with the fear of being a parent in a world where death is literally around every corner. It's about how the parents deal with these fears while trying to maintain some level of sanity and make their children feel safe. There's commentary in there as well about a parent's inclination to underestimate the strength and understanding of their children or to misinterpret their concerns and needs.
The monsters are just the mechanism that takes the real-world anxiety of modern day parents to its most extreme level to allow these themes to come through. It's impressive to me that the film is able to communicate so much of this with so little spoken dialogue.

I didn't really believe endings could ruin a great film till I saw A Quiet Place. Haven't rewatched it since, haven't bought the DVD, don't plan on doing either, I just don't ever want to give this a second chance after that
I watch them to basically watch the entire movie in a condensed version which apparently is what other people do as well.
I Think We're Alone Now has you beat on that one. Such a great movie until the last 30 minutes.
Didn't like the movie much personally, so CinemaSins will get my views just to see them break the shit down for fun
Pretty much. Sadly, I just no longer find what they do funny. Lot of their early videos were like 8-10 minutes, then everything seemed to get longer and longer. Don't have time for all that tbh.
