I think it's hilarious how quickly this sub seems to have turned on him. They loved him when he was making fun of bad movies, but the moment he criticizes a movie they liked, they lose their shit.

Having never heard of moviebob, what’s so bad about linking to him?

I got tired of him after he gave a middling review of Edge of Tomorrow

His criticism of the film just seems to be for contrarians sake

Oh yes, no one can possibly be not amused by vapid and repetitive films, they are just pretending!

I wouldn't say a movie that doesnt represent blacks as thugs or is a slave or civil rights era period piece to be repetitive, just let people have their thing.

Changing the general race of characters for a movie doesn't actually make it good, god fucking damnit!

It's the same film like all the other Marvel garbage, to simply disregard work of most black American filmmakers because you want senitised garbage is kinda insulting, especially when there are a lof of films that deal with other topics, fuck, there is the entire Madea franchise, extremely popular with black audiences, and while I think it's crap(even though I did watch a video recently which made me kinda appriciate the films), it at least has some soul to it, seamingly, unlike products of the corporate cock, whose noxious semen you keep sucking because it decided to drain out money out of another group of people.

Did you ever consider why are most black american films crime based, because that's the most relatable experience to make into a film, at least more so than the general audience, since more black people, on aggraggate, live in such conditions.

You also only focus on American films, a country which is primarily white, with generally upper class filmmakers(the big budget ones at least) so the results are very understandable, why don't you rather try supporting actually good, talented black filmmakers if race is so incredibly important all of a sudden ? There even is an entire bloody continent of them outside of America.

Mate chill out and don't ever think you know what minority audiences want, please stop acting like you're some holier than thou critic just because you watch yms.

I don't care what audiences want, they are dumb and you know it. Movies are art, not disposable products, stop treating them as such.

You made an utterly shit argument, now admit to that.

Wow you sound like a complete fucking parody, cheers mate hope you abandon the iamverysmart attitude some day and learn to socialise with real people. :)

u/bloodlustshortcake Feb 19 '18

What?

You are treating films like they are a fucking Mcdonald's meal, and at the same time saying that simply having a different racial prevalence in cast makes a movie not repetitive or mediocre.

How far up your own arse do you have to be to see that as a completely legitimate arguments, and rejection of those are r/imverysmart kind of thing ?

Yeah. complete anti-intelectualism is surely the way forward.
