But even if the stuff you've read is accurate, you don't always get all of the details and context in summaries.
I'm just going to lay this out here matter of factly. The reason you bug me so much, is not the fact that you have different opinions, it's the way you present them as absolute fact and then throw a shit fit when someone challenges you on it, and when you're basing those opinions of off things that just aren't true or that you have no experience with you refuse to listen to us when we try to explain why you're mistaken.
I don't present my opinions as absolute fact, I present them as my opinions. My opinions can't be wrong
for me, so I'd argue I'm more frustrated when people keep trying to claim that
my opinions can't be informed by the sources I deem worthy. I don't throw "shit fits". I respond to (generally) baseless allegations and BS, and I admittedly don't always feel like being polite about it.
The problem is that I'm not mistaken, my opinion can't be mistaken because its just what I think. Trying to explain why I'm "mistaken" is what causes arguments. You can argue your opinion, and I will listen. But that doesn't make my opinion wrong or your opinion right. My opinion also doesn't have to effect yours, and the only thing that drags things out into arguments is when people won't just let me make a single post about my opinion and just let it go if they disagree, or at least start a conversation instead of trying to pretend either of us are objectively wrong or right. Somethings are objectively right. Like, humans need oxygen to live. But opinions on media are subjective.
I am right about my personal dislike of
Logan, and you're also right if you like the movie. My opinion on the movie's problems is formed by things that happen in the movie that have as much context as they need. I don't need to watch it if I have enough solurces, all unconnected by all supporting the facts, to fo0rm my opinion. I've also argued I don't even need that, but with
Logan its so solid I'm legitimately confused that people are arguing about this. This isn't
Inhumans or
Guardians of the Galaxy 2, productions I've stated negative opinions on that haven't come out. Its
Logan. The movie is released, spoilers are anywhere. The movie is being thoroughly discussed and dissected. I can back up the things I hate as having happened in several different ways, and all the context the things I hate have.
I disagree with that assertion. You don't know how what you read is going to be acted by all involved. Even the music can turn something into a home run.
As a longtime James Bond fan, I routinely gobbled up all the spoilers I could before release. I knew in my head how the movie played out before I even saw one second of footage. And yet when I finally sat down and watched the movie my knowledge of what would happen could no compare to how it played when you factored in music, acting, cinematography... hell, anything that has to do with a motion picture.
So I guess what my point is, is that sure, you can say you think you'll dislike the movie based on what you read. But to outright form an opinion on it as if you have seen the movie, is a bit unfair.
I've never had a movie I hated the spoilers from redeem itself when I watched it. From Fant4stic to Wolverine Origins to man of steel to Batman v Superman and beyond, its never happened. With how I judge/enjoy movies, good acting, etc will never compensate for me hating a story. To me, the story is the core of the movie. Now, a bad movie can have a decent story and still be bad if too much of the other stuff is terrible. But, a bad story, in the best case scenario, might lead to a "so bad its entertaining" film. but, even that depends on how the story is bad.
Yeah they couldn't do that, using a charatcer more than once in two different roles?? That might ruin the continuity of the "X-Men cinematic universe"
I tend to post on this topic with the assumption that some basic common sense will be involved with the next part of the X-Men franchise. I obviously know their bad habits, but I can always hope they don't keep doing it. Plus, its a TV show without anyone from the movie universe really working on it, so I'd think it would be less likely to repeat characters.
If you don't agree, and don't feel like having a conversation, just say you disagree and move on. I prefer to do that, and would do it more if I didn't have a hard time not replying to people who are replying to something I posted. Trying to say I'm wrong is itself wrong, and generally starts an argument.
You can believe what you want. Some people think that TDK is the best Batman movie, or that MoS is the best Superman movie. I disagree, but they can hold whatever opinion they want. Same goes with Logan. You can think its the best, I can think its the worst. I don't have a problem with that, but some people seem to.
Its people who can't deal with other opinions that do that. 90% of the time I just plan to state my opinion and leave it at that. Its not my fault some people need their opinion to be the opinion. My problem is that I can't just not respond to people who respond to my posts. I'd probably have a less stressful time if I could do that.
