Am I the only one who finds it to be a backhanded compliment when reviewers would praise a movie or anime for having great visuals but a bad story and characters as a backhanded compliment?

That is true.
I’m not blaming the reviewer.
In fact I meant for it to be more about the movie. When I watched a review about Fantastic Beasts by Entertain the Elk, I believe he said how the characters and story failed but he gave some compliments like about the visuals.
Or how one review praised Bleach’s artstyle but criticized its characters.
What I was saying was that if the only thing a property has going for are its visuals, I don’t see that movie or manga or whatever as something very good.
To me good stories and characters are the most important aspects. Everything else is of secondary importance.

I actually didn’t mind the ending for Persona 5 Royal.
Is it dissapointing that the MC wasn’t able to go with his friends on a road-trip back home like in the original? Yes. But I do think it ties in nicely with the themes of the Third Semester, namely that though reality can often be tough and upsetting, it’s how you deal with it and preservere through it that shows the kind of person you are. You just gotta accept it, and do your best to work through it.

Sometimes historical myths have their own beauty to them. Just like the legend of George Washington and him fessing up to dad after he cut down his dad’s favorite tree whose only reliable source is from an anonymous old lady who claimed to be friends with the Washingtons.
But even if this legend might be dismissed nowadays, I think there is a beauty to myths. People are so fixated on the truth and realism, they forget the beauty of tales.
We should search for the truth and try to find out whether claims are true or not, but I still think even historically inaccurate tales like Richard III by Shakespere has its own charm.
Maybe even Braveheart from 1995 if you see it as more myth than history. Although it is annoying that they could not have at least had a bridge in the Battle of Stirling. Historical details like that could enhance the mythical feeling.

Agreed. What I’m saying applies mostly looking back to tales in hindsight that have already happened.
But when we ourselves are making something about history, we have to try to give ourselves a higher standard. So that the new myths people will remember will be true myths.

“The manbabies” seem like a dumb group to advocate against. It automatically stereotypes anyone who has a complaint with something as being a whiny loser who just hates everything.

Whenever something new comes out online, there are often people who will claim, on Twitter at least, that “the manbabies” are upset about it, and that the only people who could criticize or dislike it are a group of overgrown lowlifes who whine about everything yet presumably have the power to control the discourse on every new piece of media that is released.

Ah. Sounds more like they like X (or want to profit off of it in cases like NFTs), and want an excuse to ignore criticism or shame those who don’t like it. People put too much value in what they like (at least religion is part of how you view the world and affects how you live your life).

You know what I hate? Groups who refuses to judge their own group. I hate the hypocrisy of calling out every flaw of another group while drowning in their own group’s sins. It’s just an echo chamber at that point, and why nothing is actually fixed.

All this talk about Morbius being a terrible movie means nothing to me since I see the majority of superhero movies as interchangeable from one another

Grimdark is bad when it’s boring. Warhammer 40K proves that grimdark can be fun, but it’s the exception it feels like.

I thought Disney Star wars was better than the original until the third. That is not a joke.
The original was just so vanilla and Luke was so bland that I genuinely found it boring even as a kid. Every time I looked at the expanded universe it was just…bad. Prequels were the middest mid.
Force Awakens was fun popcorn movie, Last Jedi had a good story and actually decided to finally change the status quo, and….then Rise of Skywalker said “Fuck that moving forward bullshit. Nostalgia then! Nostalgia now! Nostalgia forever!”

Kinda my feelings on the sequel trilogy. Except while I thought Last Jedi had interesting concepts, I didn’t think any worked. Rise was just bad. I think most fans agree. Even the ones who love the sequels.

The sequels are poorly written and Rey is a mary-sue.
And Force Awakens is an almost shot for shot remake of A New Hope. You cannot look at the sequels and tell me they are well written stories. You’re allowed to like them but there is no way they are better than the originals or even the Prequels. There was no planning, there was no thought put into connecting all 3 together. Characters are shoehorned in the original characters were shells. They’re soulless cash grabs to milk the franchise.
