    Mate have you considered that it’s possible for people to have different opinions about a movie than you, without them being brainwashed by the internet?

    Have you considered that media/art is highly subjective and that even if a movie was internationally adored, it would still be valid for someone to not like the movie, and criticise it?

    I’m all for a lively debate over the qualities of certain media, but your main point seems to be ‘you just don’t like it because you can’t think for yourself’, which is just a bullshit argument. It feels very similar to “you just don’t believe in my god because you haven’t prayed enough” or “you just don’t like pickles because you can’t cook well enough”.

      Mate, when people are saying things didn’t happen in a movie what actually did happen in a movie, then what’s the reason for it?

      It’s not “subjective” to say something didn’t happen when I can put a movie onto my screen and see it happening. I wouldn’t say it’s brainwashing to choose to ignore facts to conform with popular memes, but you could consider it be something along those lines if people refuse to do something as trivial as just watching a movie to confirm whether something being said on the internet is true or not.

      I would love to actually discuss these movies even if someone had a different opinion on them. But the meme culture has killed real discussion about movies. You have to spend all of your time debunking dumb memes leaving no to actually discuss the movie. The channels are clogged with dumb memes and there aren’t really any discussion groups for people who have actually watched a movie to talk to other people who actually watched the movie.

      “Somehow Palpatine reurned” memes only really say “somehow I have opinions about a movie I never saw.” Complete waste of screenspace, but five years later people keep doing it. Will there ever be a time we can actually talk about a movie without it being polluted by inane memes?
