Every MarvelSlop defender is trying to pretend, with every fiber of their being, that the Pirates of the Caribbean movies don't exist.

@woop54 @BurrowBeliever This the one you should have put in the tweet.
English
Outside of the Raimi trilogy the rest of the movies range from ok to awful
Matt 🕸️@CinemaSupreme
Which Spider-Man opinion has you like this?
English
@spidermanias He's humoring an 80 year old. This line is perfect.
English
Raimi fans will tell you it’s not weird that a New Yorker in the great year of 2002 is talking like it’s the 1950’s.
English
@Shshsheh143628 @ShelovesTheBolt @thelilmosquito Because it's SLOP. It's made by comittee simply for the sake of making another one, cutting corners wherever possible. Not because there is a strong artistic vision. Not with care for craft, character, story, or source. Just to make another billi from FANS and extend the rights
English
@ShelovesTheBolt @thelilmosquito Wsp with you people and “slop”😭
English
You people are allergic to anything in these films having the remotest inkling of personality which is why you are stuck with MCU films that have the look of car commercials and the emotional resonance of a loaf of bread.

@Steve_IsA_Stick @illustrique08 I think the anime takes one of the worst routes and elevated it to the best actually. Plenty of very compelling relationships with their own quirks.
English
@materialcontext @illustrique08 Are the other routes good too, or is the one in the anime the best route?
English
@Steve_IsA_Stick @illustrique08 I am a huge fan of both but I do think the anime is orders of magnitude superior because it has LESS content. So this might be a winner for you if you want the different storylines vn experience.
English
@illustrique08 I have a lot of VNs I'm wanting to play rn, does Clannad have a lot of extra content that wasn't in the anime that would give it priority? As someone who liked the anime, but didn't love it, is it worth playing the VN?

@willystaley @tolstoybb no. no one knows what you mean because you keep vagueposting for engagement
English
I'm being accused of "vagueposting" in the replies. I'm not being vague at all: There's something going on with anime — we all know it's true — and I'd like to know what it is.

Years ago, I had proposed an essay along the lines of “What’s going on with anime?” that no writer wanted to take up. I can now see why. No one likes the answer.
English
@kwc1922 @BestMovieMom It absolutely does. We can enjoy these new movies while also admitting that in pursuit lower costs, the VFX across the industry had gotten much much worse
English
Someone explain how this looks better than the new Spiderman trailer. This movie is 12 years old.
English
@ChezzyNeo @Kannas_Ricebowl Attack on Titan is meh. Nothing in it is really new or interesting in terms of dramatic beats. Art style is striking but when you've read literally genres and hundreds of Manga it just doesn't stand out as special. Too much debt trying too hard.
English
@materialcontext @Kannas_Ricebowl Didn't do it for me. Those are great, some are in my top 10, still didn't came close to no 1, that's aot.
English
Despite being the most successful, action is actually the weakest genre of anime...
An average action anime tends to be a lot worse than an average anime belonging to any other genre, and even the peaks of the action genre can't touch the peaks of romance/drama/thriller etc.

Drop an anime opinion that would have you like this.

@NickZG @regularaugust This had better be complimentary
English
@regularaugust I suspect Sinners is going to age like a John Carpenter film.
English
I don’t think Sinners, or anything this year, will get the “Everything Everywhere backlash” because EEAAO has a type of humor and maximalist sensibilities that some people instinctively bounce off of. The “Millennialisms” are like shellfish allergy to some people.
English
This makes the age-old mistake of viewing justice as a mater of abstract ethics, applied. Justice is the application of social scale-balancing. It's the practice of why society actually exists at all.
@ratlimit@ratlimit
Our justice system should be blind to moral luck. If you blow through a red light, you should be charged as though 5 children happened to jump into the crosswalk a split second before.

@airkatakana You are completely right about the test, but sadly wrong about the test-taking ability of a median middle-school student.
English
daily reminder that the pass mark for the “hardest japanese test aimed at foreigners” is squarely in the middle of “intermediate” on the cefr scale
any japanese middle schooler could pass this with no issues whatsoever
English
@PanasonicDX4500 @bigblackjacobin Also the musical number in sinners is one of the cringiest things I've ever seen (still loved the movie) so I don't think you can argue that he wouldn't include this kind of over the top corniness
English
Part of the problem with the OBAA discourse on here is that people will watch this scene and think it’s PTA writing what he thinks revolutionaries sound like as opposed to just trying to make the French 75 sound like how every Weather Underground knockoff talked.

If Coogler made it, no bullshit like this would be included
English
@ShaKing807 My only complaint about Demon Slayer is that people who hype the animation style and its flashy moments are smoking crack. Shit is not good.
English
Good but not great series that would be better received if it was less popular and successful
Demon Slayer Daily@DemonSlayerDP
What's your honest opinion of Demon Slayer?
English
@mean_field_zane I think people will come around to thinking it was a little overrated but absolutely not gonna get the EEAAO treatment. Mostly because it's too cool.
English
@ObiAlmighty @NON21848128 Nen and Cursed energy are just spicy variants on OP.
Stands tho? King shit. Undefeated.
English
@NON21848128 This is why Cursed Energy, Devil Fruits, Devil Contracts, Nen, Stands, and Personas are the best power systems

@Ian_Gay_briel I wish I hadn't seen Frankenstein and Train Dreams.
