I was talking about openly saying that studios should stop making X genre movies because of Y and Z, when Y and Z really aren't the issue. The issue, to me, is that they simply don't like that genre for their own reasons, not because it is, for instance, leading to the downfall of cinema. I don't see evidence of that when it comes to superhero movies.
Although I am in the camp wanting to see something less traditional and cookie cutter from these films, such as what Joker offered.

What is this thread for, in your opinion? I mean, it kind of says it right there in the title: Recommend (or don't) a movie thread. I'm advising people to avoid this movie because it's awful. If you are a dope or a moron, however, maybe you'll love it. IDK
Judging movies is part of going to a movie FFS. Like, I don't think I've ever been to a movie with someone where we didn't talk about whether or not we liked it when we left. If we didn't like it, we'll discuss why. Bad Boys for Life was so bad that I came out with a very strong opinion of the movie and a very strong opinion about the type of person that would enjoy it.

I'll try to parse it down again.
You can like, love, dislike, and/or hate any piece of art and feel free to express that opinion, in this thread or anywhere for that matter (but you certainly don't require my permission for that, of course).
What I don't think is necessary - for example - is calling someone a dope or moron because they disagree. I don't understand how that's constructive in your film recommendations, other than validating your self-superiority and insulting people over something that is, by nature, subjective.
It's an odd way to get people to respect an opinion. In fact, I've found it's had the opposite affect, even though I am personally entirely indifferent to that franchise.
