why is every nerd's automatic reaction to something they don't understand to label it stupid, poorly conceived or badly executed things exist that you may not grasp fully upon first experiencing, it's okay that doesn't make you a dumb or bad person, really

PipeRifle posted:counterpoint: something can still be bad even if it's "deep" or "meant to raise questions, not answer them" etc. i don't disagree with that either, the point is a lot of the complaints about prometheus arose from "wtf this doesn't make any sense i don't get it, it must be bad" without even trying to engage with it on any level it's sort of the equally dumb inverse of "the avengers is great, you just gotta shut off your brain and enjoy the ride" when people tried to critique it at all

i think the only thing i found inconsistent (but mostly because it felt like it was shoehorned in by the studio) was the alien cameo at the end it didn't quite ruin the movie, but scott should have been more willing to make the film stand on its own and not make a last-minute connection to establish it as a prequel or sidequel or something

why do people criticize anna torv's acting when she also plays another character that's entirely different, if you've gotta bitch about it it's the writer's fault not hers also john noble owns as walter and walternate

duTrieux. posted:not really, actually. the key is that in district 9 the white guy doesn't manage to out-native the natives. it's a ham-fisted allegory, sure, but it's not a racist one. that's not the issue the issue is that the afrikaaner shitbag director couldn't bring himself to have a single sympathetic actual black person as a character in his movie his entire metaphor-for-apartheid race was depicted as more sympathetic than every black human in the entire film, including and especially the literal bone-in-nose savages who were exploiting the aliens (as all those savage blecks do to each other, which is why it's okay the white man did it to them) Stymie fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Aug 8, 2012 |
