how come next gen didn't get as much hype or attention as big hero 6 or mitchells vs the machines or nimona did. i think that's unfair. they're all really good movies. also they all have some sort of robots in them, which is fucking awesome

Oh my God!! I forgot to say this yesterday, but they censored the mutant mayhem trailer in theaters! When Donnie gets stabbed in the leg by Raphs sai on accident, they don’t actually show it happen, or show the sai in his leg and it looked so weird!!

Just to emphasize how much of a left turn “Saw X” is for the franchise, you need to consider what “Saw” is to most people. Aside from the first movie which has been mostly re-evaluated as a decent thriller that was more focused on story than gore, the series has been criticized for being an excuse to show off people being mutilated in the worst ways possible. The series has been credited as a “pioneer” in the torture porn label, which you can’t really argue due to it being mostly true for the sequels. The series has also never been a critical darling (all the movies before X have all had negative Rotten Tomatoes scores), which I think contributed to the series’ image as low-grade torture porn.
As the story got more convoluted and frustrating, the more the series seemed to focus on killing people. For me, I started noticing this when the 4th movie featured a trap that didn’t really have a purpose in the story (the mausoleum trap with Art Blank). That trap felt more like the makers wanted to do a really brutal scene and didn’t care if it made sense.
Main characters would only last one movie. It was pretty much useless getting attached to any protagonist since they usually got axed off by the end of the movie. Because protagonists kept getting killed off, further sequels tended to focus on characters who played more minor roles. Rigg is probably the best example of this since I’m pretty sure no one was expecting this character to be a protagonist. Point I’m making here is that character development was essentially useless since protagonists were just glorified cannon fodder.
Then there’s the unfortunate existence of “Saw 3D”, which made the series look like it was just trend-chasing.
The series died for a few years. It then tried to come back with “Jigsaw” and “Spiral”, which the makers claimed to be a reinvention of the series that would renew interest in the franchise. Instead, they were both just sorta lackluster and didn’t really convince people that Saw was worth revisiting.
So, “Saw X” clearly had an uphill battle. But lo and behold, the movie gets released and ends up being:
1) A surprisingly good character piece centered around Jigsaw and Amanda. Yes, there are still death traps and gore, but the focus on story and character development is definitely felt more in this installment.
2) The only “Saw” movie with a positive Rotten Tomatoes score. In general, seeing positive critical reception about a “Saw” movie is crazy to me.
3) An actual, successful reinvention of the franchise since it’s centered around Jigsaw instead of having him be the mastermind in the background. Just by being a straightforward thriller instead of a convoluted horror-mystery is enough to distinguish this from the other 9 movies.
Kudos to “Saw”. This is why in one of my posts last night, I called it one of the greatest redemption arcs I’ve seen in horror. It’s the TENTH installment in a series that’s been critically savaged its entire lifetime, it shouldn’t have succeeded. But here we are.

okay. so i get that there's objectively better movies out there. but other than "it doesn't make sense, the element people are weird and imbalanced," and "it's a disney(?) movie," why did people hate elemental so much??
it's, in my opinion, a pretty good movie. it's an immigrant story. it's about kinda-forbidden love. it's about a fire lady and a water guy, and learning to work around and accommodate each other's differences. it's about family and duty as an adult versus figuring out what you want to do with your life. it's about being different. it's about having a disability in a world that doesn't know or ignores that you need accommodations to even go outside.
it may not "make sense" in terms of the elemental system, but the system is not what makes the movie. elemental, the movie, is good in spite of what doesn't make sense. it's about the characters. it's about ember. it's about wade. it's about the people.
(it kinda reminds me of luca and zootopia, too, which are also pretty good [or at least decent] movies)
