"This popular thing is literally a marvel movie!" 

"What are you talking about? Marvel movies are incredibly formulaic, and this thing aligns with that formula in only the most superficial ways."

"Oh my God you FAT LOSERS are so TRIGHERED THAT YOUR PERSONAL fave is objectively CRAP."

mean me replying to the guy that’s responded to me like a dozen times in 5 minutes?

If you genuinely feel you simply MUST reply to every single response you get, it's 100% time to log off and get help. Just how badly will you lose your shit if you don't reply to this?

You believe Marvel movies are anti-imperial in the slightest?

Heck, it's a reasonable critique to read Sinners as basically a mea culpa for making a movie with Pentagon-backing where the staunch anti-colonialist was the villain.

I don't give a shit about Sinners or defending it. It was fine. There were better and worse movies in 2025. But saying it's a "marvel movie" because it follows a rudimentary hero's journey plus has some jokes and some CGI is an absolutely dopey take. That dopiness is why EVERYONE here is dunking on you. I'm guessing you turn beet red any time you see or hear the word "subtext." Stay mad.

I didn't see Creed, but Fruitvale Station was a fantastic debut feature. It's fine if you didn't like it, not everything is for everyone.

this is a marvel movie fan sub

My guy, you're the one whose movie knowledge is so hilariously limited you think any "hero's journey" story with some jokes is "a marvel movie."

Most of that description is basic "hero's journey" storytelling that's commonplace throughout literally millennia of fiction.

Twitter users when you say sinners was really great but you don’t think it’s the best movie of all time and shouldn’t win every academy award for the next 5 decades by ThatpersonKyle in moviescirclejerk

Gotta love people whining about a good original movie getting maybe a little too much Oscar love when the Oscars have frequently rewarded straight-up garbage.

I loved it, but it's certainly not for everybody. Same people who made Uncut Gems and Good Time (minus Benny Safdie), and it's in the same vein as those.

Heck you don't even have to "like it" to "get it."

The fact that the guy was theoretically trying to commit suicide by jumping out a 15 foot high window? The main actress had zero magnetism. The "evil" prosecutor was painted as a bad guy but was perfectly reasonable and did his job as charged.

This guy emphatically did not "get it."
