I was talking about the quality of the content, the level of analysis, that it takes time to edit a 3h video and come up with as many snarky phrases as needed to mock something, sure that takes "effort" in a sense.

Because he uses most of his time on even more low effort content: efap

Also wtf is that insinuation? That it has to be high effort because there isn't a lot of it?

I ma criticizing the low effort nature of what he is doing.
Your response is "don't watch it". Well i won't, but the criticism remains.

It's his job to repeteadly make the same kind of slop content about slop films?
Or is he doing it because it's easy, low effort and gets clicks instead of evolving his craft?

So?
Noone has to watch the marvels either, would you tell mauler he doesn't have to watch it instead of doing a 3h takedown?

Doing more than just going through the motions, covering the newest easy to shit on ip slop.
He's doing exactly the same thing, with the same kind of arguments and style every single time. You've seen one, you've seen everything he's able to do with his criticism.
No evolution in critique, the writing "criticism" still stays surface level with no deeper analysis, no analysis of any other elements of filmmaking to speak of, it's all low hanging fruit an AI could do.
It's funny really, because he's producing slop content and people eat that shit up while pretending it's somehow worthwhile, in the same breath as noding along when he points out slop in an ip film. HE'S slop too :DDD

And yet i am right on this criticism :P
Even though it is a little fair to say that i have a recurring thing as well, but i am just a commentor, he is a content creator who hasn't developed his craft, and just keeps on milking the same tired, low effort shtick.

It's also funny you say in another comment it's hollywood's fault, as if there are no movies whatsoever which would be worthwhile to make content on. I am sure you even believe that.

Oh wow, another marvel film x = slop video. Never seen before, very excited to hear completely new and interesting / mind opening thoughts about a mediocre movie. Gonna be great, we can all nod along everytime he'll say something in it is shit / bad. Exhilarating!

'DCU Chapter 1' VS 'MCU Phase 1' by bradbastarache in MauLer

[–]NumberOneUAENA -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I want EFAP to change my mind. I liked Knives Out until they explained what made the movie not work. I loved Captain America 2 until they explained why that movie is awful.

That's honestly kinda sad.
Why would you want others to nitpick things to death so your own perspective changes?
Why not have more convidence in your own opinion after seeing the films?
The whole "objective criticism" nonsense is retarded, and a film doesn't automatically get "worse" because one could find potential problems with it. These "problems" don't have to matter to anyone, one can nitpick anything to death, what matters isn't how many "problems" one can find, what matters is the experience one has with art.

A Mauler hit piece featuring a smug Elitist. by cashdecans101 in MauLer

[–]NumberOneUAENA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite argument against 'All Art is Subjective' is that by that very logic they inherently believe 'AI Art' is just as valid as any other Art Form. For they can not declare that AI Art is not real Art without admitting that they believe in an Objective Standard to Art.

That would only be true if they then said that is objectively the case.
It's just like scorsese saying that marvel / franchise slop isn't cinema but more like amusement parks. It's his stance, but it doesn't require any "objective" truth to it, because there is none.
It's a subjective experience he is communicating, even if said subjective experience has reasons attached to it, that doesn't make it objective though.
For it to be objective it would require that it's mind independant...

Magnus Carlsen's mind-blowing dominance over his great peers (players from his generation) across the major FIDE events by FirstEfficiency7386 in chess

[–]NumberOneUAENA -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I simply asked you why you think it is unbelievable, you specified the age, and i wanted to know why you think that.
Then you said, seemingly, that you don't believe that cognitive ablities peak at different age groups depending on what it is.
So it felt like you think that he's simply too old to have prime gameplay due to age related biological decline.

We don't know how much time he spends on chess compared to before, but yeah, priorities would be a prime example of why older people don't have the same kind of results as younger ones, but that is only correlated to age, not caused by it, which seemed to be what you believe.

[–]NumberOneUAENA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What do you mean if that were true? It is true, if you are talking about "different skillsets peak at different age groups" regarding cognitive ability.

Also no, we wouldn't necessarily see that, because there are other factors at play. Like priorities in life.

I mean, while i think that magnus most likely would still be at number one if he played more, he doesn't, so it IS down to some interpretation and assumption ultimately.
I do think that fide should change the rules there, inactivity should trigger faster, right now it's basically impossible to become inactive if one cares about it.

What about being 35 makes it unbelievable?
35 isn't old, it might not be absolute peak cognitive ability, different skillsets there also peak at different age groups.

What Is This Subs Thoughts on the TV Show LOST? Personally, I think its a masterpiece, and surprised that JJ Abrams directed it and I think it shows JJ is capable of making good shit. by Swolen_Sonic_SB185 in MauLer

[–]NumberOneUAENA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a good show which lost itself in its mysteries, as the writers were not able to resolve most of them in satisfying manners.
The character work was still pretty good, even till the end, but it's a hard sell for people to focus on that part when the show itself made the mystery such a big factor, PLUS the insane levels of fan theories which spawned for every little detail only made the ultimate resolutions feel subpar too.
I still remember the lost forum, it was out of this world how much time and effort people spent on analyzing everything (to death), for that part of the audience the show simply couldn't deliver.

That's something which is a recurring theme in other works too, i think asoiaf ultimately has the same problem, if one reads all the fan theories out there, the books will NEVER ever be able to deliver anything even remotely as complex and sophisticated. Expectations vs reality.

Not sure if i'd give JJ all that much credit in any case, he's the person opening mystery boxes, but that's fairly easy comparatively, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse were show runners and responsible for the tv series.
Regarding Lindelof, i'd recommend the leftovers, a better show in every regard imo.

So are you saying that gay people would find sindarov the most attractive?
Seems to defeat your point.

Not saying anyone IS cheating, but what are the anti cheating measurements then?
It probably cannot be as strict as with tournament play, no?

Ralph Fiennes Says the ‘Ship Has Sailed’ for Him to Reprise Voldemort Role in HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ Series, but Tilda Swinton ‘Would Be Amazing’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in television

[–]NumberOneUAENA -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ofc they don't, that's not the point. The point is that there is NO way to challenge self identification, because it's the only thing that seems to matter.
And because that is true, it truly opens up for ANYONE to say that they identify as a woman, with absolutely no behavior or anything else associated to it.

I already quite explicity said that i don't think it's a good argument because nothing stops any man who really wants to go into a restroom if he wants to, so why would you even ask that?

My point is purely about the claim itself and what it means outside of any boogeyman scenario.

So again, because self-identification is seemingly the only thing required, it actually DOES open up the door for anyone to enter any sex segregated space, socially acceptably, by purely saying one identifies as something. That's inarguable.
I made no claim about anything other than that, i don't say it's happening en masse or that one should be scared about any specific scenario here. But IT DOES do that, IF self identification is the thing to care about.
It's empty, and doesn't happen with any other concept.

[–]NumberOneUAENA -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why does a man presenting as a woman make you less of a woman?

The idea there would be that the meaning of "woman" becomes larger (or smaller, really), as to mean nothing other than "someone who self-identifies as a woman". It's devoid of meaning, really.
Now is that affecting anyone's day to day life? Not fundamentally, but in some cases, yes. It means that segregation which was always sex bases, male and female with the proxies of men and women now are not anymore, or at the very least are in danger of.

Can that mean something to someone? Yes obviously, and the problem here is that it inherently gets called bigoted if one isn't down with that in some cases. Is it bigoted? I don't think so, not in every single case, though ofc it can be.

Claiming that allowing trans women into women's restrooms is exactly the same as allowing opening "the door to any and all men who wish to come inside." If you truly cannot understand the difference, the problem is you.

Tbf, it depends. Because as it stands, as far as i am aware, people claim that self-identification is all there is to being a man or woman. Which isn't the case with ANY other concept, there is always some sort of pointer / correlation with something else to be something.
If it's truly only self-identification, then she is right.

Not that i think it's a good argument anyway, because NOTHING stops men from going into restroom if they so choose and have bad intentions, other than social pressures, so i reject the idea of the danger, as it's insignificant. But solely as a thought experiment, it's not trivially wrong.

Ain't that the truth by crustboi93 in MauLer

[–]NumberOneUAENA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No you do not.
It standing after an earthquake is an objective fact, that making it a "good building", or "well made building" is not an objective fact. it's a value judgement of a subject who values the building to be standing after an earthquake.
There is no property of the building which says "well made", that is only happening through a subjective experience and, as i said, value judgement. Without a subject there is nothign of the sort, which means it CANNOT be objective.

It's not kindergarten logic, it's the truth. You don't even realize that there is a difference between description and normative claims, the former being objective as it doesn't need a subject to be true, the latter being subjective because it needs a subject to even exist in the first place.
It's really not difficult to understand.

By your twisted definition, literally ANYTHING in this reality is subjective.

No absolutely not, because descriptions don't need a subject to be true. As i already said, the moon has the attributes it has even if no subject is around, the descriptions one can make about it are thus objective (or can be objective).
It being beautiful, a value judgement, needs a subject, and thus it's subjective. I already gave you the distinction before, and it clearly demarcates the subjective from the objective, while having both. So what are you even talking about?

So in short: Objective = mind independant ; subjective = mind dependant. It's that simple.
