This guy should relax. Spoilers reveal the film ends with Cocaine Bear finally admitting he has a problem, going to rehab, writing a book about recovery and being interviewed by Oprah.

“Audiences wants-“ “Audiences likes-“

Message to YouTube essayists and FilmTwitter:

Don't use highly generalized audience reactions and ratings as accrued by highly failable online sites to boister your own opinion.

Just give me your own opinion so I can either agree with you or thrust my index finger out boldly to object to. I didn't click on one person's video for some "consensus."

Especially when it comes to female characters. Maybe, juuuuuuuust maybe, Arcane doesn't need to be this standard bearer when we could have a variety. I'm sure that for everyone who worships Vi at the alter, there are some who's prefer something else.

Sincerely,

Somebody who is some friggin' tired of this "attention economy." How is that term NOT something out of a boomer's satire of kids these days?

This is so true

Giiiiiirrrrrl..... this Tweet is speaking nothing but FACTS!!

This is so true! Omg lol...

Btw, why on earth are people going in on my girl Florence like this just because she's filming "Thunderbolts"?? Don't people know that she is in the MCU/Marvel films?? 🥴 Why are people acting all surprised??

I've ALWAYS said that the testament to a GOOD actor is an actor who has a diverse filmography, and who is convincing, and does a fine acting job in just about EVERY single genre of film that they attempt to do. JMHO 🤷🏾‍♀️

the side of film twitter that aggressively hates eeaao is so vividly pathetic. saw motherfuckers actually be mad at the daniels for saying that everyone is worth the same and that everyone has greatness in them. imagine getting angry at that. at the base idea of equality and believing in others potential. actual supervillain shit.

Avatar 2: Electric Boogaloo, or “Why You Shouldn’t Take the Internet’s Opinion Too Seriously at Times”

Twas the year 2022, in the Month of May, when the first teaser for The Blue People Movie(tm) was released... everyone on this blasted device called the internet, from Tumblr, Twitter to Reddit though it was going to fail.

Now look where it is.  $2.243 billion dollars later. For all the talk of “Cultural Impact”, plain and simple, you don’t get people to keep coming back to the theaters for a movie with a gap of 13 years from the first if people didn’t care about it.

...Legit the only place that had faith in the movie was effing r/boxoffice. A subreddit. Another, much bigger subreddit in r/movies was basically betting on this film to fail, and when it didn’t it kept deleting posts about its box office success until recently with the exact same news as above.

And that  $2.243 billion? Mostly from international audiences. Heck even my country of Indonesia made it to the top 20 markets for this film, with Europe (France and Germany specifically), India, China and Korea being the other, bigger markets.

As a guy in the animation industry, whenever I see a lot of my own community and even overseas colleagues either bashing or in disbelief of the film’s success I kinda die inside, because it really feels as if though I’m being a traitor to my own professional community for enjoying the movie wholly and unironically.

It took a while, but I finally accepted the ability to say “that’s fine, so what?”.

What can I say? I like realism, and I like realistic animation! I like how its implemented in the movie.

I like exploring speculative worlds from a biological perspective as well as worldbuilding.

I love science fiction critters, and Avatar always delivers.

It’s a movie made for me, as some dude from Indonesia who helps storyboards projects.

So if you’re a fan of the Blue People Movie(tm), don’t feel ashamed. If you’re inspired by this, but also take the criticisms of certain communities to account to improve on your work? Go for it!

Even Jimmy Camera I think learned his lesson (which is hard for me to fathom because... it’s James Cameron. His ego is pretty (in)famous), as he asked for consultation from the Maori community for their opinions on how to write the Metkayina.

Remember, next time the internet (especially twitter) thinks something is going to flop(tm), but you think it might be good and/or successful! Go for it! What’s most important is what you think, and make your own conclusions about it.

People on Twitter bitching about the trailer for Rob Zombie’s Munsters clearly never suffered through the 2012 reboot attempt (Bryan Fuller’s Mockingbird Lane)

I think about this so often

a barbie stan regurgitating the surface level, non-intersectional feminism they find to be so "groundbreaking" in the film by pulling the "misogynist" card when the category margot was nominated for ... consisted of all women, what with it being "best actress in a leading role" and all: life imitating art, indeed !! for the record, folks, crying patriarchy about a mediocre performance not being selected in favor of five far more deserving performances does not help your cause. it only serves to trivialize what feminism truly is. bye, barbie.

"OPPENHEIMER’ wins Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cast, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Score, Best Sound Design and Best Editing at the Critics Association of Central Florida (CACF) Awards."

Take a closer look at the members of the Critics Association of Central Florida: YouTubers, WordPress Bloggers and PRIDE members. Such a paradox in homophobic Florida that the entire film community falls under one particular demographic.

I can get behind this take 

film twitter moments:

-some chick who said that Everything Everywhere All At Once was fascist for having a small business owner as a hero -same chick also said that the line “you’re a wizard harry” was fascist because it’s “imposing an identity” on harry and that top gun maverick was a subversive queer film -some guy who said that Ari Aster failed as a film maker for not making movies for a broad audience -a guy named “SJWJamesBond” who tried to defend the MCU by saying that MCU-haters who were also excited for a new Shrek movie were hypocrites and then called me a Nazi for making fun of his name -someone accused me of having internalized transphobia for dunking on a transgender critic’s takes on avengers endgame, accused a Palestinian woman of being an anti-semite just for being Palestinian and then whined about how he “lost his friends to the Bernie Sanders cult” -Kyle Kallgren calling Fritz Lang (a Jewish man who fled the Nazis) a fascist for making a movie about vigilante justice -Ashley Lynch saying that socialism would “destroy cinema forever” and then calling Seven Samurai a “bro movie” -some guy who insisted that Greta Gerwig “never made indie movies” because she had a “conformist aesthetic” -someone who said that anyone who was excited for the Barbie movie was bourgeoisie because “my parents never bought me barbies so barbies are for rich kids” (she was a trans woman in her 30′s, you can figure out WHY her parents never bought her barbies) -when people said transphobic things about a Jewish woman who disliked Jojo Rabbit -an extremely long thread blaming comic book movies for the assassination of Qasem Soleimani -this thread
