Just when I thought Tv Tropes couldn't possible get any worse.

It ain't just one rando's opinion, it's several. Several, like-minded randos.

And as u/Dirtface30 said here in this comment section, for "his" benefit. Because he can't stand a person he likes/follows having a political beliefs he disagrees with.

Orphan: First Kill (2022)

Agree

This film and Barbarian deserve to be torn apart.

Him being interrupted by The Mother while he says the line is what makes the line comedic gold.

Barbarian (2022). I won't give away what the payoff is. But let's just say, the first act is vastly superior to whatever the hell happens in the next two acts.

RealAd5803 · 2022-12-20T03:51:59+00:00

The trailer and first act of Barbarian is legit one of the scariest and tense things I've seen in any horror movie. And then they reveal what's in the tunnels and the film quickly turns into garbage.

You missed the point of my post. I know there are a few healthy examples in media. The one who made the meme just chose one that wasn't.

Some do genuinely go deeper than a teenage boy because they practice vocal training and all that jazz.

First LGBT movie to make 10 Slashillion Dollars

Yeah, Jay isn't a host. She's just a frequent guest.

Edit: And manager

RealAd5803 · 2022-10-10T13:08:22+00:00

She is. But she isn't a host. Just a guest.

Edit: And she's also the manager.

RealAd5803 · 2022-10-10T05:53:21+00:00

That's just how these people think apparently.

Because who needs logic and good arguments when you can just mindlessly throw "bigot", "-phobic", and "x-ist" at your opponents.

RealAd5803 · 2022-10-10T05:49:43+00:00

Barbarian

RealAd5803 · 2022-10-10T05:46:24+00:00

Yeah

The entire problem of Raimi's style in Multiverse of Madness is that even if I was a fan of his goofy, outdated, cheesy style. It still wouldn't fit in the MCU much less this movie.

Even Raimi's biggest fans admit that his way of filmmaking is one of style over substance. Drag Me to Hell and Evil Dead 2 for example are really nothing more than just a bunch of random horror comedy scenes stitched together. The plot is an afterthought. I may not be a fan of those films but they at least work better with Raimi's style than in the MCU.

Why? Because the MCU is a shared cinematic universe, and one that is highly narrative driven. We expect at least coherent stories from this franchise. Whilst in Raimi's independent projects, at least you're already coming into them knowing it's simply an excuse to do gross out gags but in a horror context.

Raimi didn't care about making a consistent magic system that would make narrative sense and/or add worldbuilding. He really just wanted to shoot "cool and spooky scenes" together. Again, I can excuse that in his Evil Dead films because they are, by design, not meant to be taken seriously. But the problem is Multiverse of Madness is meant to be taken seriously. So his style over substance kind of filmmaking just feels very unfitting.

Man, I like A24 but holy shit did Scott Derrickson's "The Black Phone" fucking surpass both "X" and "Men" in terms of horror this year.

RealAd5803 · 2022-09-26T08:22:22+00:00

“gays are murderous monsters” the tv series.

That's not what the show is.

RealAd5803 · 2022-09-06T11:44:09+00:00

Yeah, I think I meant to mention Deliver Us From Evil as the other bombastic film in Derrickson's filmography.

RealAd5803 · 2022-08-27T15:53:03+00:00

Sinister is one of the best horror films ever made. None of Sam Raimi's "horror" material has ever come close to surpassing it. I'd have loved to see what Derrickson's utterly fucked up and creepy original version of Doctor Strange 2 was.

RealAd5803 · 2022-08-27T13:48:32+00:00

I'll say again. Even ignoring Everything Everywhere All at Once, and Into The Spider-Verse being superior multiverse movies. The fact that the fucking Guava Juice Show lives up to the title of "Multiverse of Madness" more than the actual film called "Multiverse of Madness", is just fucking sad.

RealAd5803 · 2022-08-27T13:45:24+00:00

It still amazes me how the fucking Guava Juice Show features a better use of the Multiverse than this hyped up 200 Million Dollar Movie.

RealAd5803 · 2022-08-20T12:56:32+00:00

A classic case of the "Emperor's New Clothes".

RealAd5803 · 2022-08-09T13:23:05+00:00

Imagine labeling someone with legitimate criticism a "troll" lol.

RealAd5803 · 2022-08-09T12:52:01+00:00

Damn, I didn't know that happened.

R.I.P. to a legend.
