>15137 I liked the first few Marvel movies a lot because I like action movies in general but I don't really care about the movies now because everyone hypes them way too much (no way I'm going to watch Black Panther because I know that no matter how good it is I'll be disappointed because of how often the fans said good things about it) or you have to watch almost all the movies in the series before to fully enjoy them. It's definitely overrated though, no matter how good I think it is. >15127 I loved the books as a kid/teenager and I enjoyed some of the movies but I feel like the rabbid fans and some of JK Rowling's statement as well as the drama surrounding her are making me care less and less about the franchise. It's mostly the fanbase that annoys me, since it's not a bad movie.
I wouldn't recommend this movie to a Blade Runner fan, or to someone who has read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. And one more thing, the visuals and music were great, but they didn't come together in a way that made the setting feel lived-in and real. Not that they were really twists, but when you see plot points coming from miles away, it takes away from the story. But they went for the most obvious story beats and were very lazy about twists. It would be like being married to Alexa or Siri. I thought there would be some kind of conflict with K being a replicant and waifu being an AIā¦like he would realize that she doesn't have even artificial sentience, and that even as robots their relationship can never be equal. Plus, the way female characters were treated was pretty bad. People are calling it the best movie of the year last year, even best of the decade, and saying, "only smart people can understand this movie." It was really simplistic, and the robot Jesus story is an awful idea to base a Blade Runner movie off of (in my opinion). I recently watched Blade Runner 2049 after seeing all kinds of praise for it online. I actually love this kind of saltiness too. but for fuck's sake, even i can recognize that BL fans deserve better than this.
way too voyeuristically for my comfort, and even in more lighthearted series it usually feels like the authors don't know how guys interact with other people, let alone how gay guys do it. i've seen way too many works that portray stuff like rape, abuse, etc. now, as a disclaimer, i will admit that i'm not a fan of BL in general. now, it didn't start off that way, but between the author deciding to start acting like a spoiled brat instead of taking responsibility for her growing fanbase during the past year, and the story itself taking an olympic nosedive into overwrought, melodramatic, needlessly vindictive (while somehow still failing to deliver all the emotional punches during actually appropriate scenes), everything-that-makes-BL-shit territory. i'll start us off: "a matter of life and death" ( ) is kind of the brainless beauty of western BL. as long as it has your blood boiling almost every time you see it and you can't begin to imagine how anyone could get into it.
this isn't limited to books alone - it can be a show, comic, webcomic, etc.
Needed some way to vent about this, and i always love reading about other people's raging hate boners for (insert x title here).
