Regarding spoilers; Please put "(Spoilers)" in the title of your post if you anticipate spoilers, as we do not currently have a spoiler tag available. If your post contains an image that could be considered a spoiler, please mark the thread as NSFW so the image gets blurred. As far as how long to wait until the post is no longer a spoiler, please just use your best judgement. Everyone has a different idea on this, so we don't want to make any hard limits.
Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

As someone who didn't enjoy the first movie and didn't see the second one, both of you have valid opinions but only one of you is pushing the idea that the movie is objectively shitty. It's not objectively anything, and you don't have to yuck anyone else's yum.
You're not wrong, but I went off on it because the person I'm replying to pushed the idea that people were hating on it because it was their personality as opposed to hating on it for its flaws.
Your initial criticism wasn't even that it was bad, just that it was shallow, which is an objective truth. The triggered minority who identify as blue cat people don't want to live in reality with the rest of us though, so they have to come up with these cope reasons like "you're just a hater" or "you're just too dumb to understand it". Like you can enjoy the franchise and not pretend it has more depth or symbolic value than it actually does, there is nothing wrong with enjoying some light entertainment. People always have to make these things their entire personality now though, so any valid critique immediately gets twisted into a personal attack.
