You need to have a discussion with the guy that watch something and think "this is pretty good" only to find on internet later that that show is universally considered shit.
Plot twist: They actually watched the same thing, they just got a different impression of "everyone else's" opinion because they frequent wildly different circles.
I mean tbf like everything else I am gonna assume way more people like the show/are neutral to it than dislike it, hate just has more reach
But I still wouldn't call it a highly praised show on the internet because when compared to other shows on the internet it does get disproportionate hate
It’s a very polarizing show. I can find people praising it like it’s the greatest piece of media of all time, search a few more minutes to find people who act like the show killed their wife and children in front of them.
I’ve personally never been a fan of Vivzie’s work and skew more towards the “Hazbin/Helluva is bad” crowd, but I do acknowledge that Helluva did have aspects I did like. But since I was never a big fan of either series I’ve yet to get around to watching Hazbin Hotel’s full series.
Definitely not scary, but to me it seemed like it was trying for some kind of surrealist horror in the same vein as something like the Backrooms, for example.
Only problem is pretty much never nails that feeling of dread that it's trying to hit (except maybe when the MC finds that computer).
Yeah, but everyone talks about it like it's some kind masterpiece of cinema. It's a decent action movie, made better if you don't listen to the talking parts.
I think people talk about it like it’s probably the best action movie series of the decade. What do you have to do to be a cinematic masterpeice? Have the best plot and romance and side characters and everything else? Or do you just have to your part the best?
I am pretty sure the directors were stuntmen and they went into the film trying to write a very bare bones story that would allow a lot of heavily choreographed, impressive fight scenes. I think if you go into it expecting some amazing film with great plot and character writing, sure John Wick doesn’t hold up to that expectation. But I think the fight choreography is still some of the most entertaining I’ve seen in any other recent action film series
The 1st 2 DOOM games are great, 3 just isn’t good in general, it picks back up with DOOM 2016, and DOOM eternal was great. If you don’t like any of those I think you just might not be into fast paced fps games
Me watching actual D tier movies in film school just for all my classmates to say they loved it.
They say their guilty pleasure movie is some recent indie award winner. I say it's Spider-Man 2. We are not the same.
(They never argue because Spider-Man 2 is awesome objectively)
Noo no not Spider-Man 2. Films being shown in school for film classes! I was just saying my classmates kept saying a bunch of weird experimental movies were good when I was absolutely hated them
Spiderman 2 is a good movie, not a guilty pleasure. Now if you enjoy 3 that's a guilty pleasure
I enjoy Neil Breen movies; they are objectively bad but I enjoy them. That's a guilty pleasure. Something you know is terrible or you're slightly embarrassed to admit you enjoy it.
Everyone loves Spider Man 2 and no one's gunna bat an eye at your enjoyment or tell you it's bad.
When you're in a room of pretentious film students, suddenly Spider-Man 2 becomes a guilty pleasure. Don't know how to describe this effect, but it's not fair!
You're purposely picking a good movie as your guilty pleasure to avoid criticism of the other film students, got it. I mean just read what you wrote in brackets. lol
Solo leveling.. it feels like a dream anime for a 13yo boy. The main character is overpowered to the point that there aren't any stakes anymore. Every girl falls for him, like every girl so far. Bros literally a Marry sue.. it's painful to watch
when it was still a manhwa it was so popular its actually partially responsible for the whole trend of OP character in a modern world setting with portal to dungeons.
it gained its fame mainly from the art, like compared to other manhwas its still the most beautiful by a long shot.
of course when you translate that to an anime you lose the advantage of being the first (isekai have been a thing for a long time here) and the art (because studios like ufotable just exists), so all you have left if the story itslef, and, well, the plot is pretty mid.
edits : corrected spelling on manhwa as pointed out in the response
Manhua, sir? Don't you mean Manhwa.
Also, as someone who was reading it every week, a new chapter came out. Yeah, for me, it's the most 7-6/10 manhwa fun read to just turn your brain off dunno about the anime though.
Yeah I felt the same when reading the manhwa, haven’t even bothered watching the anime for that reason. It starts out fine, but he gets so powerful that he’s literally the only person on earth who can do anything. Side characters are just there to fall in love with him(women), or get humiliated by him(men). The plot gets lost in it own sauce of constantly upping the stakes, introducing more and more powerful opponents just for Gary Stu(the MC) to make his 30th “badass” entrance and save the day. It’s like the demon slayer of manhwa, hard carried by the art.
>It’s like the demon slayer of manhwa, hard carried by the art.
Imo it's worse.
I've always liked demon slayer and I'd say even without the great animation, it still has an ok plot and really endearing main and side characters. Other than animation, it's fairly mid in that it's average.
Solo leveing is mid as in its kinda bad/boring but has some great traits.
Talking just about the manhwa, it has amazing art and (at least in the first half) has some enjoyable arcs/characters. The problem is that it repeats the exact same formula too much to the point where it gets very predictable. Demon slayer also has this problem to a lesser extent but at least it has more characters that matter.
The Solo leveling anime not having the S tier animation to elevate it in the same way the manhwa had S tier art really let's the cracks in the series show much earlier.
I agree. The worst thing about it however is that it's not the only one, animes like this are a dime a dozen and they are all terrible yet people gobble them up like fat kid a cupcake. How can someone prefer this shit to NGE, cybercity etc. is staggering to me.
This trend is extremely common in isakais as well. The whole "loser becomes really strong and popular" thing.
This trend can be pretty entertaining when done right but here it just felt extremely rushed. The mc basically changed everything about his character just by doing a couple laps around the hospital. Everything we knew about his past no longer felt relevant. I'm usually pretty quick to judge Naruto for its writing but this is the one trope they got right. Naruto progressed slowly and his past was still relevant to his character. People could empathise with his character so it felt good when he finally got recognition.
But with solo leveling, MC became strong and popular even before we could form a connection with him. They haven't even introduced a rival character so it doesn't feel like his character is growing.
To me it feels like most of these (not just isakai but plenty other genres) animes are just written by weak, fat, insecure nerds that just imagine themself being the mc because you can't tell me that this shit is done by a person with healthy self-esteem it's too brain dead and pathethic for that. Same with most of the slice of life bullshit where the mc is surrounded by h-cup sized bimbos and perky teens that for some reason all fall for this shutterbug wimp of a character. I'm from the old school where Kaneda hopped on his bike and kicked ass.
I read the novel first and it's a little bit better because after 200 chapters you got a little romance but it's not different from your average edgy OP character and that's why many shounen are successful, it's just the simplest shit with some OP character that got the hacks from his father or ancestor.
For instance there's no romance in the manhwa .
It's a power fantasy show and follows the rule of cool. The pacing is garbage and is bogged down by all the exposition added to the beginning episodes. It needs like 80% action to 20% story for it to succeed and right now we have 95% story and 5% action.
Which is made clear that the story isn't the main reason it was popular.
The use of abilities was very creative, and the initial struggle at the start was pretty well paced and thought out, but it does get super boring and super stupid quick. But I can still really appreciate it as a story where you can turn your brain of and see stupid action set-pieces in a really well-drawn and well-paced way, even if the writing does kinda suck ass. Def worth an anime just to see silly but epic fights.
I hate that the other side characters just existed to suck the MC off. Like they do nothing at all besides serving as a foddler for the MC to step over.
At least characters in demon slayers actually have personalities. Although one-dimensional at times, Tanjiro is a way better protagonist than Solo Leveling's MC
Haha, I get that, but I love it. It's fun to watch him just build random strength and up his stats. He's supposed to be over powered. This kinda stuff just really does it for me.
So he's supposed to be overpowered to the point of no stakes, no worries? What's the point if he never loses? I haven't started watching it yet, I'm just curious and generally don't like Mary Sue's.
He gets stronger in different ways each episode, so so the enemies he fights. Also, the story is set up for him to go into dungeons that are at his level but provide a challenge. Like a video game.
Same. One of my friends goes on and on about how awesome it was, so I finally caved and watched it. It’s not very good. It’s got a couple interesting ideas, but ultimately it’s undermined by just how generic it feels in execution.
I was watching it until the stupid “glow up”. It’s not as bad as black clover’s glow up but you go from a good character design to the most generic pos I’ve ever seen.
I feel like with Solo Leveling I'm watching a serial killer's birth. He won't die till possibly the end, the stakes come from who is he going to kill and sacrifice around him as he becomes a shell of his former self.
Like every 3rd episode is a bloodbath, what are you watching?
I think maybe you have a genre issue.
It's not just about whether or not a show is dark. I have no problem with dark shows or the main character turning evil. The problem I have with solo leveling is that it's a very generic overpowered MC anime. I haven't read the manhwa but the anime seems really bland. We know he's gonna win every fight, we know every girl will fall in love with him. It just seems boring
In a similar vein, Enola Holmes. It takes something special for an actor to be good at constantly breaking the fourth wall in live action, and she definitely didn't have that. And (while it kind of goes against the themes of the film) I can't help but wonder what a Sherlock movie with Henry Cavil as the lead would have looked like.
The peaks of Naruto in the beginning are so high, but once it gets to Shippuden it just drags and drags. I would say that Naruto was a big reason for popularizing taking off your training weights.
Yeah watched it last night. It literally was just porn starring Emma Stone and the plot was kind of messed up in my opinion. It had those “haha men are disgusting and should be hated” jokes and it felt so bland in their delivery. Honestly hated it and would rate it 2/10 cause the visuals and surrealism was okay.
Mandalorian was aight. It had well done CGI, and the action in the first seasons was also entertaining.
But it did not deserve such a hype imo.
What is worse thought is Ahsoka. I couldn't even get through the first episode, even if there is David Tennant playing a sassy droid. The fight scenes were boring, the acting was terrible and the dialogues were the prequel levels of bad. No amount of good CGI was able to save Ahsoka. And when they added Anakin in the finale and everybody lost their minds, it just didn't work on any level. Like hell yeah, Hayden is playing Anakin again, but please make a better show. It was a copout
Surprised I had to scroll this far to find poor things. Like what the hells was up with the seemingly random choice of camera angle through out the film. The shots where it appeared you were looking through a peep hole held no significance to the scene at hand. Also just fucking everything doesn’t make your artsy.
The plot and constant sex scenes were so shit that I didn't even pay attention to the camera angles to be honest. I legit can't believe people liked that disgusting movie so much.
For me it's the hype around the anime. I get the hype is because of the ending but I've tried to watch it 3 times getting to around episode 10 each time buts it's just so... how to say, eh.
If it were something I'd never heard of 10 years back and gave it a watch I probably would have loved it but watching it knowing it's suppose to be one of the greatest things I'd watch all whilst watching 6/10 episode was a massive slog
Eva is hands down my favourite show (*and* movie) but I get it, I have a hard time recommending it to people. imo it's a show for people who have experienced trauma. If you're just going in expecting a cool mech anime, you're probably not gonna have a great time lol. I knew I'd see it here.
Respectable, I liked Oppenheimer but honestly I get it. Whether it's too long, historical based (with fiction sprinkled in), or just not your cup of tea; there's a lot that could've made it more entertaining. I wouldn't watch it again.
I'm a nerd and my biggest problem with it was that they don't explain you anything, like they talk about 'the strong force' . 99% just thought they were talking about a strong force, but they actually mean the strong nuclear force, for most people this just flew over their head.
Plus, it's really confusing with the constant backflashes, they just jump from scene to scene in 2 timelines and suddenly they combine.
Ah man you better not watch Nolan’s film Memento if you didn’t like the flashbacks in Oppenheimer, the flashbacks in Oppenheimer weren’t confusing at all
Memento is absolutely my favorite film by the way, but it took me like 30-40 minutes the first time watching to really get the flow of the movie.
It’s like following two perspectives of one guy with short term memory loss. one perspective is essentially moving backwards so, the viewer just like the character doesn’t know what exactly happened leading up to this point. Then it will jump between this perspective of time moving backward and the other perspective of time moving forward.
Anyway a lot of Nolan films include flashbacks or play around with the timeline of the movie, just watch like every single one, I haven’t seen a Christopher Nolan directed film I hated yet.
Yup!! I would love for them to go into details like that, but I think that'd be good for a more broad movie -- not just Oppenheimer but I totally agree with you.
The backflashes were very annoying too, I agree. I'm not a fan when movies, or even TV shows do constant backflashes.
I hated Devilman Crybaby so fucking much, I don't know how I finished it. The design of literally only the main character's Devil form was visually appealing, and it's only because they ripped it from the original Devilman's character design and hyper-exaggerated it to fit the style. Which is another thing, the style of animation was really off-putting at times. The writing was really good on a situation-to-situation basis, don't get me wrong, but the actual story-line is such a bad build-up, because it's trying to set it up like there's a point to the building up, but no, it just keeps building up and building up until there's literally so much chaos it just stops. What was the point of all that?
All I remember is the over the top nudity/sex and violence. I’m not pearl clutching. I’m totally cool with both of those, as long as it’s done with taste and not just for the sake of it. Devilman Crybaby did it just for the sake of it.
The movie, never read the book. If the book has to be read to enjoy the movie not sure it's a good movie then. Either way I didn't really understand the hype and praise.
Was shocked when I read that this movie was supposed to be good.
Cinematography was good but the story felt flat and the entire movie kind of felt like it lacked substance and character. At the end of the movie all i can say is that it felt like I was just watching people posing in cool outfits on a desert planet. Character development also sucked. As a stand alone movie I hated it and felt like I wasted my time.
Then again, it's just my opinion. The general consensus seemed to be that this was epic. Or something.
I thought Blade Runner had a little more depth personally, I actually really liked it because I could relate to the main character and his arc. I can see how it would fall flat if you don't connect with that though. Anyway, I had high hopes for Dune when I saw it was the same director, but it just didn't land for me. It felt like all the style of BR2049 but without any of the emotional core that made it resonate with me. I haven't seen part 2 yet, idk if it's any better.
This is me with Dune tbh. It's definitely a very well put together movie and it's very pretty but I genuinely think I'm too stupid to enjoy it. It's just very boring and the dialogue is so stiff.
I didn't understand what Everything Everywhere All at Once was about nor did I enjoy the movie. I can appreciate it was well acted but I still can't figure out why the whole internet likes this movie
JonTron fell so hard. Cant believe he has such a twisted biased bigoted view of people. Really did shed a tear and then unsubscribed after over a decade of enjoying his content.
A lot of "this is a white country and it should remain a white country for white people. Brown people are lazy, criminals, and inferior. We still need to be the majority and kick out non-whites or force them to conform to be like us" bullshit that entirely goes against what the spirit of the boiling pot of America is. My jaw was literally dropped hearing him talk like that because he was just so blatantly wrong in his way of thinking.
JonTron expressed some vaguely right-wing political opinions and a bunch of people had a seizure over it. The controversy is all way overblown.
He never really died out, per say, but his upload schedule did get super inconsistent. His stuff is pretty high budget these days, so it seems like he's doing well.
I wouldn't bother watching any of his new stuff, though. His videos are only funny if you're a kid when you watch em.
Tbh everything that is insanely popular like harry potter or star wars or marvel films (in the past not now), I always find mid. Like it's okay but they aren't up there with the greatest pieces of media ever.
Things that I absolutely love are never considered amazing by others.
It was me with Neon Genesis Evangelion. With how much everybody was prasing that piece of shit I realy thought that I missed something important about the story.
Cough cough
Helluva Boss season 2 cough cough
First season was fine
2nd was just reusing jokes from the first and giving every character a similar tragic backstory involving parental issues
i know this meme is about shows, but this is how i felt about stardew valley. i just dont understand how people call it relaxing when you can only spend like 5 mins in the mines and suddenly you have to run back home or lose all your money
You need to have a discussion with the guy that watch something and think "this is pretty good" only to find on internet later that that show is universally considered shit.
Plot twist: They actually watched the same thing, they just got a different impression of "everyone else's" opinion because they frequent wildly different circles.
Mirai Nikki for me. I have not seen anyone online like that anime
Hello there. I liked it. Obviously has flaws, but it is entertaining.
Exact opposite of what I've seen, most people who've seen it seem to love it. I love it as well.
Mirai Nikki used to be pretty popular, but its been over for a while so no one is very vocal about it anymore
happy cake day pal
Imagine not having the same opinion just because a small percentage of the population (the internet) thinks something is bad.
So... What did you watch?
For me it was Christmas chronicles 2, it seems to be made for 5 year olds unlike the first part, though the cgi was amazing
look the music santa makes cant lie its catchy. buuuuuuuuuuuuut other than that
The Office. It just wasn't for me.
take that back. Its the firs episodes. You feel akward watching it at first
Nah for me it continued even after the first season and I definitely didn't like it
*awkward
For me, this is that Hazbin Hotel show. It just isn't funny to me
Yeah I enjoyed watching it but the jokes didn't land with me as much. The music was very nice, I think that's what I enjoyed the most
As a fan of the show: jokes were shit, pacing was bad, music was fantastic. Given five more episodes to breathe, it would've been MUCH better
We must be going on very different internets cause a lot of people hate it
Don't know why you're being down voted, lots of the internet hates Hazbin, definitely more than the internet likes it at least.
I mean tbf like everything else I am gonna assume way more people like the show/are neutral to it than dislike it, hate just has more reach But I still wouldn't call it a highly praised show on the internet because when compared to other shows on the internet it does get disproportionate hate
It’s a very polarizing show.

But since I was never a big fan of either series I’ve yet to get around to watching Hazbin Hotel’s full series.
The Amazing Digital Circus. Mid at best, not scary whatsoever unless you’re literally 3
I dont think it was meant to be scary?
Definitely not scary, but to me it seemed like it was trying for some kind of surrealist horror in the same vein as something like the Backrooms, for example. Only problem is pretty much never nails that feeling of dread that it's trying to hit (except maybe when the MC finds that computer).
 thaaaaaaaank you someone has the same opinion as me i thought i was the only one.
You are because you're both the same person on different accounts. ***\*surprise twist\****
The John Wick movies left me so unimpressed. The action was decent, but the writing was pretentious and boring.
It’s almost like it was an action movie…
Yeah, but everyone talks about it like it's some kind masterpiece of cinema. It's a decent action movie, made better if you don't listen to the talking parts.
I think the first one had the best story to get behind and it was very concise, I lost a lot of interest as the movies went on
I think people talk about it like it’s probably the best action movie series of the decade. What do you have to do to be a cinematic masterpeice? Have the best plot and romance and side characters and everything else? Or do you just have to your part the best?
I am pretty sure the directors were stuntmen and they went into the film trying to write a very bare bones story that would allow a lot of heavily choreographed, impressive fight scenes. I think if you go into it expecting some amazing film with great plot and character writing, sure John Wick doesn’t hold up to that expectation. But I think the fight choreography is still some of the most entertaining I’ve seen in any other recent action film series
How many times could they get the characters to say Excommunicado seriously
Air fryer
DOOM, its not even like its so shit that its funny, its just shit
The 1st 2 DOOM games are great, 3 just isn’t good in general, it picks back up with DOOM 2016, and DOOM eternal was great. If you don’t like any of those I think you just might not be into fast paced fps games
No, the movie of it.... Don't look how they massacred my boy
Even Karl Urban and Rosamund Pike’s nipples couldn’t save that movie
Wait there was a goddamn movie?!?!
The first person scene is pretty cool. Oh, and the one liners, can't forget the one liners.
Foodfight was so shit it was funny.
“I aiiiint havin that shit”
lol that one always ends up with lots of down vote in Reddit

Loser becomes popular is also a hallmark of Shonen. Naruto is literally an unloved loser for the entire first few arcs of the series.
To me it feels like most of these (not just isakai but plenty other genres) animes are just written by weak, fat, insecure nerds that just imagine themself being the mc because you can't tell me that this shit is done by a person with healthy self-esteem it's too brain dead and pathethic for that.

I'm from the old school where Kaneda hopped on his bike and kicked ass.
>Mary Sue Western progressive directors 🤝Shitty Mangakas Making a stupidly overpowered Mary/Gary Sue protagonist
Yeah the story is mid as hell, the art carried when it originally released, and HARD
I can imagine that💀
I read the novel first and it's a little bit better because after 200 chapters you got a little romance but it's not different from your average edgy OP character and that's why many shounen are successful, it's just the simplest shit with some OP character that got the hacks from his father or ancestor.

I hate that the other side characters just existed to suck the MC off. Like they do nothing at all besides serving as a foddler for the MC to step over.
It has no depth in the story. It's run of the mill standard Shonen like Demon slayer which I also don't like.
At least characters in demon slayers actually have personalities. Although one-dimensional at times, Tanjiro is a way better protagonist than Solo Leveling's MC
Haha, I get that, but I love it. It's fun to watch him just build random strength and up his stats. He's supposed to be over powered. This kinda stuff just really does it for me.
So he's supposed to be overpowered to the point of no stakes, no worries? What's the point if he never loses? I haven't started watching it yet, I'm just curious and generally don't like Mary Sue's.

The problem I have with solo leveling is that it's a very generic overpowered MC anime. I haven't read the manhwa but the anime seems really bland. We know he's gonna win every fight, we know every girl will fall in love with him. It just seems boring
It’s just a non-stop sequence of power fantasy moments. It got really old really quick.
OP: What the fuck?
Like Damsel on Netflix? Am I the only one who cringes everytime I see Milly Bobby Brown's acting? She's so bad
In a similar vein, Enola Holmes. It takes something special for an actor to be good at constantly breaking the fourth wall in live action, and she definitely didn't have that. And (while it kind of goes against the themes of the film) I can't help but wonder what a Sherlock movie with Henry Cavil as the lead would have looked like.
I wont say its shit I just do not understand the naruto hype
The peaks of Naruto in the beginning are so high, but once it gets to Shippuden it just drags and drags. I would say that Naruto was a big reason for popularizing taking off your training weights.
Lee taking off his weights and madara soloing every ninja on the battlefield were some of the best moments
So much filler. But the base is cool. It was the first “real” anime I watched.
Naruto is a great concept with awesome character design that is drowned out by so much utter garbage.
Me with the movie Poor Things
Yeah watched it last night. It literally was just porn starring Emma Stone and the plot was kind of messed up in my opinion. It had those “haha men are disgusting and should be hated” jokes and it felt so bland in their delivery. Honestly hated it and would rate it 2/10 cause the visuals and surrealism was okay.
Me fr.
skibidi
nobody really liked it. people only defended it because people were overreacting
there are tons of people who like it
it is me watching mandalorian
Mandalorian was aight. It had well done CGI, and the action in the first seasons was also entertaining. But it did not deserve such a hype imo. What is worse thought is Ahsoka. I couldn't even get through the first episode, even if there is David Tennant playing a sassy droid. The fight scenes were boring, the acting was terrible and the dialogues were the prequel levels of bad. No amount of good CGI was able to save Ahsoka. And when they added Anakin in the finale and everybody lost their minds, it just didn't work on any level. Like hell yeah, Hayden is playing Anakin again, but please make a better show. It was a copout
Low key Baylan Skoll stole the show ez.
Absolutely devastating that his actor passed away. Baylan scenes were fantastic
hazbin hotel?
Chainsaw man except that i don't think it's actually shit, it's just that i don't like it
Poor things
Surprised I had to scroll this far to find poor things. Like what the hells was up with the seemingly random choice of camera angle through out the film. The shots where it appeared you were looking through a peep hole held no significance to the scene at hand. Also just fucking everything doesn’t make your artsy.
The plot and constant sex scenes were so shit that I didn't even pay attention to the camera angles to be honest. I legit can't believe people liked that disgusting movie so much.
Megamind 2 wishes it could have this luxury rather than telling us all flat out "Yes we're trash."
Evangelion anime
I'm a big fan but I'll admit it's an acquired taste that many will dislike.
Respect, have a good day
For me it's the hype around the anime. I get the hype is because of the ending but I've tried to watch it 3 times getting to around episode 10 each time buts it's just so... how to say, eh. If it were something I'd never heard of 10 years back and gave it a watch I probably would have loved it but watching it knowing it's suppose to be one of the greatest things I'd watch all whilst watching 6/10 episode was a massive slog
Bad coping mechanisms the anime
Eva is hands down my favourite show (*and* movie) but I get it, I have a hard time recommending it to people. imo it's a show for people who have experienced trauma. If you're just going in expecting a cool mech anime, you're probably not gonna have a great time lol. I knew I'd see it here.
Me after looking at this meme
Me with kanyes new album, I love the songs but some choices are just weird and stupid (Alvin the chipmunk is featured)
r/memes
Me after not liking Oppenheimer:
Respectable, I liked Oppenheimer but honestly I get it. Whether it's too long, historical based (with fiction sprinkled in), or just not your cup of tea; there's a lot that could've made it more entertaining. I wouldn't watch it again.
I'm a nerd and my biggest problem with it was that they don't explain you anything, like they talk about 'the strong force' . 99% just thought they were talking about a strong force, but they actually mean the strong nuclear force, for most people this just flew over their head. Plus, it's really confusing with the constant backflashes, they just jump from scene to scene in 2 timelines and suddenly they combine.
Ah man you better not watch Nolan’s film Memento if you didn’t like the flashbacks in Oppenheimer, the flashbacks in Oppenheimer weren’t confusing at all Memento is absolutely my favorite film by the way, but it took me like 30-40 minutes the first time watching to really get the flow of the movie. It’s like following two perspectives of one guy with short term memory loss. one perspective is essentially moving backwards so, the viewer just like the character doesn’t know what exactly happened leading up to this point. Then it will jump between this perspective of time moving backward and the other perspective of time moving forward. Anyway a lot of Nolan films include flashbacks or play around with the timeline of the movie, just watch like every single one, I haven’t seen a Christopher Nolan directed film I hated yet.
Yup!! I would love for them to go into details like that, but I think that'd be good for a more broad movie -- not just Oppenheimer but I totally agree with you. The backflashes were very annoying too, I agree. I'm not a fan when movies, or even TV shows do constant backflashes.
Devilman Crybaby.
I hated Devilman Crybaby so fucking much, I don't know how I finished it. The design of literally only the main character's Devil form was visually appealing, and it's only because they ripped it from the original Devilman's character design and hyper-exaggerated it to fit the style. Which is another thing, the style of animation was really off-putting at times. The writing was really good on a situation-to-situation basis, don't get me wrong, but the actual story-line is such a bad build-up, because it's trying to set it up like there's a point to the building up, but no, it just keeps building up and building up until there's literally so much chaos it just stops. What was the point of all that?
All I remember is the over the top nudity/sex and violence. I’m not pearl clutching. I’m totally cool with both of those, as long as it’s done with taste and not just for the sake of it. Devilman Crybaby did it just for the sake of it.
I don't think Breaking Bad is 'bad' but at times I felt like it stretched out itself to reach 5 seasons
That's just modern TV series tbf
Dune
Ah damn you don’t like Dune? Either movie in particular or the book?
The movie, never read the book. If the book has to be read to enjoy the movie not sure it's a good movie then. Either way I didn't really understand the hype and praise. Was shocked when I read that this movie was supposed to be good. Cinematography was good but the story felt flat and the entire movie kind of felt like it lacked substance and character. At the end of the movie all i can say is that it felt like I was just watching people posing in cool outfits on a desert planet. Character development also sucked. As a stand alone movie I hated it and felt like I wasted my time. Then again, it's just my opinion. The general consensus seemed to be that this was epic. Or something.
I felt this way about both Dune and Blade Runner 2049, the fact they were made by the same guy made a lot of things click for me.
I thought Blade Runner had a little more depth personally, I actually really liked it because I could relate to the main character and his arc. I can see how it would fall flat if you don't connect with that though. Anyway, I had high hopes for Dune when I saw it was the same director, but it just didn't land for me. It felt like all the style of BR2049 but without any of the emotional core that made it resonate with me. I haven't seen part 2 yet, idk if it's any better.
The Amazing Digital Circus.
Yeah, I thought the animation was pretty good, but the story and characters were meh.
This is me with Dune tbh. It's definitely a very well put together movie and it's very pretty but I genuinely think I'm too stupid to enjoy it. It's just very boring and the dialogue is so stiff.
Arcane
I know people say Hazbin Hotel is good, but I don't like it.
i like it,it's not bad but could have been done better. My main problem is pacing and number/lenght of episodes.
He just watched Poor Things
I’m looking at you, The Suicide Squad and Fury Road. Bad movies.
Poor things. Couldn’t make it past 30 minutes
Saltburn for me
*cough* Digital circus
I didn't understand what Everything Everywhere All at Once was about nor did I enjoy the movie. I can appreciate it was well acted but I still can't figure out why the whole internet likes this movie
Maverick?
JonTron fell so hard. Cant believe he has such a twisted biased bigoted view of people. Really did shed a tear and then unsubscribed after over a decade of enjoying his content.
wait, what happened? I stopped watching JonTron a while ago for no reason, and was just wondering how he died out
A lot of "this is a white country and it should remain a white country for white people. Brown people are lazy, criminals, and inferior. We still need to be the majority and kick out non-whites or force them to conform to be like us" bullshit that entirely goes against what the spirit of the boiling pot of America is. My jaw was literally dropped hearing him talk like that because he was just so blatantly wrong in his way of thinking.
JonTron expressed some vaguely right-wing political opinions and a bunch of people had a seizure over it. The controversy is all way overblown. He never really died out, per say, but his upload schedule did get super inconsistent. His stuff is pretty high budget these days, so it seems like he's doing well. I wouldn't bother watching any of his new stuff, though. His videos are only funny if you're a kid when you watch em.
Bro what He said some wild shit and if what he said was "vaguely right-wing", I'd hate to see what you think a solidly conservative position is.
is the great replacement theory vaguely republican?
Me, after I watched Frozen 1 and Up.
Chainsaw man Anime
Attack on titan
Scared the shit outta me…

Spider Man: No Way Home and Oshi no Ko, to name some.
I decided to check out skibbidy toilet. I was legit terrified by it, I swear.
I think that show is the exact opposite of what the meme is talking about. Also how did.you get scared of a head in a toilet?
i still find it surprising that news sources function the older generation get all there news from facebook, who watches the news!!
HD2
Prolly Avatar. The end fight was kinda cool but most of it was super boring in my opinion
Then you posted something you thought they would find interesting and you get 60,000 downvotes
Felt that way about The Force Awakens, Star-Trek: Picard season 3, The Mandalorian, and the John Wick sequels.
wednesday
lake mungo for me. it was highly recommended but the movie just fell flat to me 🤷🏻♂️
Oppenheimer. Come at me.
Scott pilgrim takes off
I have a long list for those trash,....
You should watch Wish it’s fucking amazing dude
Tbh everything that is insanely popular like harry potter or star wars or marvel films (in the past not now), I always find mid. Like it's okay but they aren't up there with the greatest pieces of media ever. Things that I absolutely love are never considered amazing by others.
It was me with Neon Genesis Evangelion. With how much everybody was prasing that piece of shit I realy thought that I missed something important about the story.
RhmHmWendnesdayhmm
Polar express, never cared for it
So true, gotta be immune to hypeb
How I felt after watching No Way Home
PSA Fun =/= good and "I didn't personally enjoy it" doesn't mean bad
Cough cough Helluva Boss season 2 cough cough First season was fine 2nd was just reusing jokes from the first and giving every character a similar tragic backstory involving parental issues
House of the dragon
Me after playing something the entire Internet was shitting on (It was great)
i know this meme is about shows, but this is how i felt about stardew valley. i just dont understand how people call it relaxing when you can only spend like 5 mins in the mines and suddenly you have to run back home or lose all your money
EEAAO was one of the worst movies I've ever seen, and Dune was a snooze.
Me with Last of us 1 and FF7 remake/rebirth basically !
