They didn't even understand the source material.
Like, when he pulls the holy hand grenade... There are VERY SPECIFIC instructions on how to use that thing. Doesn't follow them.
Just superficial references with no comprehension of the source
I mean, the source material was kinda trash to start with.
People beefing with Holy Grail now? Fuck I'm a relic.
No, I was talking about Ready Player One the book.
I would never disrespect the Grail.
One... two... FIVE!
Three, sir.
THREE
That is one of my favorite jabs, the technically correct, but non-sensical.
It's a fair cop.
Spiderman no way home. Everyone was raving about it, when I finally got around to watching it, it turned out to be high-budget fanfiction.
Aren't all adaptations "high-budget fanfiction" though? Like, what about the film makes it more fanfictiony compared to other comic or book adaptations?
sure, but it was fanfiction in the sense that the whole story is centered around fan service. It was mostly "hey, that character you like is back!" and "oh my god, the villain people like made an appearance for 3 minutes!". It didn't feel like its own movie, just a collection of "give the fans what they want" scenes.
Backdoor sluts 9. One through 8 are social commentary, but 9, 9 is this.
Backdoor Sluts 9 makes Backdoor Sluts 8 look like Backdoor Sluts 7
Couldn't agree more.
Oh good, its the same tired joke again.
:(
Ironic
*iconic
Ghostbusters afterlife and frozen empire, every star trek show since enterprise, every star wars since return of the Jedi.
All the Jurrasic World movies too.
Yep I forgot them good call out
Fellowship of the Ring
To clarify. I love the movie, but I also can't escape the fact that like 90% of it became memed like crazy.
Watched it for the first time a few weeks ago and it was like 50% meme scenes.
Wonder Woman. Every trite moral lesson from all 7 seasons of Star Trek: TNG crammed into one movie.
Revenge of the Sith
Seems like pretty much any marvel slop past the first few decent movies is just 90 minutes of βOMFG REFERENCE?! KIND SIR I WISH I COULD UPDOOT THIS MOVIE TWICE!!!β lol
