I have no idea why GOTG2 is so underrated? The only problem I have with it is the humor at parts.

 

[Roberk]

I wanna clap Smurfette’s little blue cheeks and suddenly it’s weird?

Stop while you're ahead. Or at least stop before you can get further behind.

 

[Deleted member]

Y'all need to stop watching CinemaSins, RLM and the like. They're a poison when it comes to film discussion.

You got a good point.
CinemaSins:
"Mary Sue Cliche"
+10 Sins
"This can should be blue, not pink! I HATE THIS COLOR!"
+10 sins

I just got past the fifty hour mark in Persona 5! I've finished the fifth palace, though I have my doubts that I'll be able to complete the social links in the time that I have left. (I haven't even been able to start with Haru or the gun shop owner)

Still, most of my social stats are at four stars (I need to level up Guts and Proficiency, since they're currently at level 3), and (if Smash is any indication) I have all of the party members, so this seems to be going well.

Remedy that immediately

I was supposed to go see it back in January for my birthday, but those plans fell through and then I never really got another chance...

MCU solo movies ranking
1: Black Panther
2: Spider-Man Homecoming
3: Both Guardians of the Galaxy
4: Captain Marvel
5: The other ones I watched
6: The two Thor ones I watched. They know who they are
7: The Incredible Hulk

tbh adjusting for inflation can also be disingenuous at times

back then movies did NOT come out very often, so **** stayed in theaters for a long-*** time

plus gwtw had like 5 rereleases too

Shut up and lemme meme, MemeSins

 

[Pyra]

I for one love CinemaSins especially when they tear movies a new one like A Quiet Place.

Wow

What a pleasant person

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

Oh so you wanna **** Thanos and it’s okay, but I wanna clap Smurfette’s little blue cheeks and suddenly it’s weird?

Hipocrites...

NOIPOI NO

BAD NOIPOI

BAD

Noipoi stop making me feel weird feelings thank you

 

[Michael the Spikester]

The only problem I have with it is the humor at parts.

Compared to Thor: Ragnarok's though it makes Guardians 2 natural and tame in comparison. At least the latter lets emotional moments sink in.

 

[Will]

Yeah, we should have the white CIA guy try to incite global war for the minorities.

you ever watched Johnny Test?

The best ones don’t @ me

Actually please @ me I need attention

It doesn't help that I hated A Quiet Place.

How about we get a second opinion on this:

Trust me you won't.

But hey, try to max out the ones at almost max and then see which super powerful broken Persona they get you.

but quiet place didn't even have a twist villain

this does not compute

Currently mine are Guardians, Guardians 2 and Doctor Strange.

Honestly I think you're afraid Ragnarok stole GotG's thunder which is why you hate it so much. We have Iron Man and Magic Iron Man in the same franchise, both can co-exist

I am unfamiliar with the word "Mary Sue".
All I know what it is is that it means a perfect female character.
Why is there so much speculation about this? I am just curious. Can someone explain to me?

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Actually I came from the other end. Trying to make excuses for a movie isn't healthy...

I believe it goes both ways, defending a movie to the death or dedicatng yourself to hating a movie.

Being a Star Wars fan shouldn’t be exhausting

 

[Noipoi]

True, but it’s not The Missing Link.

black panther is the best mcu movie and spiderverse might be the best superhero movie i've ever seen, but both could still be better (black panther makes the black revolutionary the bad guy and the white cia dude the good guy because gotta get that military propaganda in your hollywood flicks, and although spiderverse is extremely well constructed+entertaining and has an amazing aesthetic and i hope people imitate it, it has a mostly standard action plot and not a ton going on thematically). if you think they're overrated then whether i agree with you depends on if you think they go too far or not far enough

In fairness, Everett Ross is a fairly important supporting character from what is considered to be one of the greatest Black Panther comic runs of all time. If he were made into a villain or excluded outright, I think it's feel off.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

No I hated Thor: Ragnarok because of its overuse excess of forced cringey humor. Guardians and Guardians 2 didn't have as much of that. Plus given the movie was about the end of a civilization makes it more out of place and nothing to joke about.

A Mary Sue is a character with zero flaws that’s poorly written, usually in fanfics.

It’s been adopted by people to describe female characters they don’t like.

 

[Deleted member]

That's not... what speculation means.

Oh.
What I mean is that the word is often used to criticize movies, but I do not know what is wrong with a perfect female character.

please explain the logistics of this

It's basically a buzzword to undermine female characters. Including "Rey is a mary sue!" Despite how she struggled in Force Awakens, clumsy scrapped the spaceship when flying and is flawed yet Luke who's super special doesn't get the same criticism despite being untrained in spaceship fighting and taking out the Death Star

From Wikipedia:

A Mary Sue is an idealized and seemingly perfect fictional character. Often, this character is recognized as an author insert or wish fulfillment.[1] They can usually perform better at tasks than should be possible given the amount of training or experience, and usually are able through some means to upstage the main protagonist of an established fictional setting, such as by saving the hero..."Marty Stu", "Gary Sue", or "Larry Stu" are alternative names given to this trope, when the same wish-fulfillment aspect is applied to male characters.[14][15]

Essentially, a Mary Sue/Gary Sue is a hallmark of bad writing, hence why it's discussed (not speculated) so often when it appears.

 

[allison]

Yeah, we should have the white CIA guy try to incite global war for the minorities.

the problem is exactly that: killmonger is written as the only representative of oppressed black people outside of wakanda's bubble, but he's also written as the guy who does most of the evil things. the events of the movie aren't immutable facts, the writers decided to portray things this way

(of course i still really like black panther for touching on this stuff in the first place, it just isn't perfect at it)

 

[Pyra]

No I hated Thor: Ragnarok because of its overuse excess of forced cringey humor. Guardians and Guardians 2 didn't have as much of that. Plus given the movie was about the end of a civilization makes it more out of place and nothing to joke about.

It was good

Your move

 

[Deleted member]

Usually, perfect characters aren't exactly the most interesting ones to read about or watch. That's why the term has a negative connotation!

quoted twice just to prove my point

Basically it refers to a character, not specifically female, that in the context of the narrative is overpowered and the universe basically bends to their will. Not literally but everything in the narrative revolves around and caters to their ideals, goals, etc. Often they can be self-inserts of the creator.

on second thought please don't
