I just watched The Nun, what the fuck, why did they make a monster movie instead of a horror movie?
Did anyone else get as irrationally angry as I did at that clip of JJ Abrams' son having his own Spider-Man comic? I'm sure I'm doing a lot of projecting here, but he had the confident air of someone that felt he deserved it and had earned his achievement through merit.
he is waaaaaay too good for star warsI don't know if either will see the light of day if the response to E9 is bad.
Man, what I wouldn't give for a Villeneuve trilogy.
I don't blame you. I love how liberal this site is, but man can it be disappointing at times. Seems like that thread has reached its final phase - banning anyone who tries to defend RLM.Wow I just looked at the last page, Alexandros and Mona were banned?
I asked for a ban in the shitstorm Etika thread, can one of you fucks ban me forever already? There is nothing less important in my life than this website, and its a really depressing place.
There's perfectly valid reasons to critique RLM and hold their feet to the fire on some of the bullshit they've said. I'm mostly surprised by how serious people take the ENDLESS THRASH gif though.
Star Wars just isn't the universe to suddenly start doing that unless there was a plan for it thematically. Like say: Finn & co restarting the Republic in a scene that mirrors the fall of it in the prequels (to thundering applause). Theme wise that would work across the trilogies: fall-rebellion-return. But if that's not there, then it's just another Game Of Thrones depiction of non-whites, and that will make the eventual disappointment feel that much worse.
(with superhero movies such a theme of 'anyone can be the hero' like in Into The Spiderverse is far more appropriate and logical to use)
I'm leaning this way. Luke was the "Last Jedi" and from now on there are "Skywalkers" instead.I think Skywalker becomes a title, like Avenger.
Kylo turns, and they begin the formation of The Skywalkers. Or something like that. It was just an origin story! Thanos and the likes is the Emperor.
You got your permanent heroes and villains.
Now, faaaaar stranger things: WHEN did they suddenly turn on JJ like that? I've been saying that shit for Years (years, dammit!) and after singing his praise for all this time (up until Cloverfield Paradox), now they suddenly go full Tim Burton on him? What happened there?
Best way to enjoy the site is sticking to community threads imho, and threads for certain TV shows, games, films etcMan. I had to just hit ignore on the Etc thread. And the OP, too, who was so thirsty to make sure every complaint got a new threadmark. As the thread descended into a dogpile and banfest it just got really difficult to stomach.
I'm hoping that if I can just use the ignore list feature I can enjoy the site a bit more than I have been, but it seems like toxic behavior by people who are ideologically aligned with the moderation's positions is bound to go unchecked, while crossing the moderation's personal beliefs will pretty much catch you a ban one way or another - usually because of the assertion that such disagreement constitutes "defending sexism," or "dismissing racism," no matter how careful the person is to say that they abhor sexist and racist actions they believe are happening, they just don't believe it is happening in this case. "Drive-by" is one that only comes out if you're not in lock-step, despite dozens of completely disingenuous, unsubstantiated, dismissive one-liners that are on the preferred side of a discussion flying by with no problem; it's a good catch-all if the mods just want to hit mute on someone who isn't down with the position being taken.
This is not to say RLM is above criticism, but the discussion is never about criticizing a thing someone said, it's a rush to make a broader judgement call on who the person is. In that kind of environment it is really difficult to make this case that "I don't think they're that kind of person - here's why," even though that's the exact question being begged when the OP begins a crusade to cancel someone. And it's difficult because going there to make the discussion about the kind of person they are is engaging more with the general than the specific complaint, which treads into appearing to "handwave" or "dismiss" or "defend."
I love how progressive this place is - the political threads are really fun for me for that reason, this is all just about the toxicity of the discussion trajectory that happens time and again and how moderation enables it. I don't notice it so much when the target is something I'm less familiar with, or if I agree unreservedly in the takedown in progress. In the case of RLM, it disturbed me quite a bit.
I just quite watching them because of it around a year ago (apart from the latest Re:view, and even then wasn't feeling it) I just couldn't enjoy them anymore.The RLM stuff is strange to me because I've had this conversation like 3 years ago back on the other forum, so it just seems so tired. I still watch them because I just accept it, but I never felt the urge to create a thread about it and go on a tirade expecting an echo chamber response.
Lol, I saw that in the other thread. That's an actual, legit example of people desperately looking for stuff to bitch about. And I'm usually the one calling out people who say that.There's perfectly valid reasons to critique RLM and hold their feet to the fire on some of the bullshit they've said. I'm mostly surprised by how serious people take the ENDLESS THRASH gif though.
Oh it's funny, because someone brought up AVGN in that thread (because it's 2015 guys), I was reminded that Patton Oswalt also shit on Rolfe for being a crybaby sexist man nerd, which makes me wonder what he thought of RLM's Ghostbusters review.
Yeah, pretty much.I thought James Rolfe put out that video because he knew he would get tons of messages asking for a GB review.
He saw from the trailers he wasn't going to like it and out of love for the franchise just decided no, I'm not going to do it.
"I like this community... for the most part" should be the slogan of ResetEra.I just quite watching them because of it around a year ago (apart from the latest Re:view, and even then wasn't feeling it) I just couldn't enjoy them anymore.
The only reason i still post in here, is because i like this community. For the most part.
LMAO."I like this community... for the most part" should be the slogan of ResetEra.
yeah that made me laugh and cringe simultaneously
Who?
3PM for us Brits 😏
