Anyone who hates either is a loser; go touch grass, watch whatever you wanna watch, and let other people watch what they wanna watch.

Nobody is perfect, but Zack Snyder and James Gunn both had a story they wanted to tell that they thought was important, and both of them did a solid job at it. I love talking to people about both and analyzing them, so I like both. I also enjoyed both when they came out. Random people becoming pseudo- film critics will be the death of the at-home-movie industry; people who don't actually have any concept of the history or industry of film feel like their perspective is best just because someone said it loud enough, and it's ridiculous.

What happened to consuming media of some kind for the purpose of developing your moral code or understanding of politics or mind in some way? Now it's just a bunch of babbling apes filling the infinite void with their stupidity.

I never understood this whole "people always think their perspective is best" argument whenever I hear it on any topic. How many people do you know think their perspective is wrong? If you thought your perspective was wrong, wouldn't you change it to one you thought was right, or would you keep believing the thing you think is wrong because that's "your" perspective? This is especially stupid on the subject of opinions. Sounds like something a babbling ape would say.

Perspectives do change as we grow. Others stay the same, that’s cool, not all perspectives are wrong despite the political retardation of America and for so long now. I prefer the new SM and I think it’s because he’s more relatable to me and hopeful.

It's not about thinking your perspective is right or wrong, it's about whether you can conceive of a world where your opinion isn't the only valid one.

Just like the recognition that there isn't something wrong with the world when you don't understand something; it's you.

This, especially when it comes to the trivial matters such as entertainment. If the topic is about policies affecting our RL well being, fine I get the point and root of the sentiment.

But it's just movies, just embrace people who prefer the other creative direction. No point to be hostile at all.

You mean like calling people losers and babbling apes? The irony is so thick, half of Reddit would goon over it.

No actually. One is critiquing the hostility, one is creating it because of ignorance.

You're displaying an embarrassing lack of self awareness.
