    you don't say.... https://www.cbr.com/multiverse-of-ma...character-arc/

    early one, while the movie was still in production, he did say that there is a LOT going on in the movie, but it seems like once the movie progressed a bit AND after some additional shooting, he got some more clarity, but yeah. sure. you keep pushing the narrative while ignoring any and all evidence to the contrary.

    Rofl did you actually read the first thing you found. He's telling fans not to worry about the reshoot and that the film will be as big as spiderman. The thing all actors say when they're not sold on the film thier promoting "it's a big fun movie!" anyway don't take my word for it I'll find the interview where he says what I said



    Cumberbatch: This is the second one of him on his own.

    Maron: So this is your movie.

    Cumberbatch: Yeah, well, yeah that’s part of the problem. There’s a lot of stuff going on in it. It’s like, “do I have a character arc in this? Is it working?” There’s great stuff for me to do in it. It’s very busy. It’s called The Multiverse of Madness and it’s bonkers.

    there we go disregard that as im sure you will, you little disingenuous posters you.

    Someone’s got MMO-C politics sub form posts in my Cinema, etc sub forum. 70 pages of this garbage, I’m sure people are just tagging in and out now for the performance, if all of this isn’t the same person in the first place.

    The problem I have with that is the dichotomy I've noticed:
    1. If you are watching/hatewatching, you are told to stfu; even voicing a negative opinion or critique gets you a fussilade of ad hominems and derogatory terms and such.
    2. If you don't like it, you are being told to to stop watching, and stfu.
    How would you solve that?
    By engaging in a bare minimum level of personal responsibility for your own choices. If you don't like something, and make yourself watch it, you're the only one responsible for your misery.

    Also, nobody gets a "fusillade of ad hominems" for not liking something. They get accused of lying when they lie about the something they don't like. Which is in no way an ad hominem.

    I've never took drugs.
    All I did is listen to other people saying it's bad.
    Maybe I should gain some general knowledge myself?
    Analogies are not arguments, I know, but here's to hoping you see what I'm getting at.
    You could point to studies or analyses which detail what your issues are. The problem here is that you categorically lied about the facts, and you don't want to admit doing so. You've openly made claims that are determinably false, and maintained them even when debunked. That's an expression of malicious intent.

    That's basically your logic. You presented something completely irrelevant in the world's biggest stretch, and went confronted about it, you're just gaslighting now by accusing others of doing what you're doing.

    From December, 2021, months before release. He was saying there was a lot going on and he wasn't sure they'd pull it all together because of that.

    Let's check a later interview, after he's had a chance to see the actual finished piece (since there's a ton in editing and so forth that actors don't get to fully experience while shooting);

    https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood...iverse-madness
    “The movie is really the idea that you are stronger together than you are on your own. [...] That’s part of his character arc and his learning. That’s very powerful. But also, your choices have consequences. Strange comes up against alternative realities and alternative beings and alternative selves, and sees what the consequences are [of] their choices and of his. And through that, he has a very accelerated moment of self-realization.”

    Cumberbatch, literally summing up Strange's primary character arcs in the film.

    You're engaging in malicious cherry-picking. Proper research doesn't involve going out and grabbing a single source you can twist to say what you want it to say.

    If your "negative opinion" is based on a lie or total ignorance...it doesn't deserve to be taken seriously.

    But, again, why are you hatewatching the show? Just so you can go online and argue about it to people that enjoy it?

    To listen to what people say, for one.
    Take W/V for example: I dislike that show with a passion(and all the recent marvel series, at that), and I'm interested as to what people say about it.
    Tastes differ, right? I didn't like Housewife 5: Prey, for example.
    Are you interested in what people have to say...or are you just interested in telling them that they're wrong.

    I've never took drugs.
    All I did is listen to other people saying it's bad.
    Maybe I should gain some general knowledge myself?
    You have general knowledge. "Johnny" told you that drugs are bad.

    Do you feel comfortable debating "Jenny", who has used marijuana for years to help with her anxiety issues, based solely on what Johnny has told you?

    Analogies are not arguments, I know, but here's to hoping you see what I'm getting at.
    It's a bad analogy. Johnny is the one that knows about drugs...you're just regurgitating what Johnny has told you and passing it off as your own opinion.

    More like: "I haven't shot people in the head...but I have watched people getting shot in the head before...therefore my opinion that shooting people in the head leads to their death is valid."
    If you're an architect and I'm a cabdriver....does my opinion of architecture equal yours simply because I have a general idea of what a building is?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but for the last 2 or 3 days, I was the one who's been constantly accused of either lying, or exaggerating, or speaking out of my behind due to presumably not watching the show, or flatout insulted. That is not to mention DEMANDS I take responsibility for the inquired crimes, a repentance, and a vow of silence.
    But I would rather we discuss the series instead of my humble self.
    So, She-Shrek.
    Jester Joe, what can you say about it? What do you find likeable about this show and why?
    The main character? The plot? The humor? What's your take on these three?

    No.
    I am(or was until Endgame) MCU fan, and I want to keep in check with the multi-plot across the movies and series.
    And in certain cases, I sincerely _hope_ that the series will be good, like with ChocolateEye, alas, to no avail though it might be.

    I'm not comfortable debating Jimmy, who's doing coke and heroin makedonian style.
    But I think I see what you're getting at: not all the drugs are bad.
    Well, not all the MCU movies are bad, either.

    Nobody has "shit on" people saying negative things about the show if they weren't making shit up.

    How about this:

    I mean come on, the jokes fall flat you might call them faceplanting.
    All the court scenes are cringe-inducing and no amount of cutting slack amends them.
    Blatant narrative about Jen being so very great, strong and independent female character reeks of Mary Sue -like scum the likes of Rey from SW trilogy.
    Manhating narrative is just that - manhating, it is not funny, it is not a message, just a narrative.
    The show is bad, which is sad, yet expectable to a certain extent considering its part of Marvel series, and Marvel series are a a disappointment in general.
    Seems to me you're telling every single person that enjoys the show that they are wrong. You're certainly not coming across as someone that wants to listen to an opposing viewpoint.

    I'm not comfortable debating Jimmy, who's doing coke and heroin makedonian style.
    But I think I see what you're getting at: not all the drugs are bad.

    And you can't form an opinion which ones are good and which ones are bad until you've seen them yourself.

    You're still not expressing your own opinion...just the one you were told.

    So...are you an architect, or a cabdriver?
    I am neither an architect nor a cabdriver.

    I am however someone that has watched the show...and that makes my opinion much more knowedgeable than someone that hasn't watched it at all...wouldn't you agree?

    Oh, I just wanted to start a friendly discussion the matter with you, as to shift the current vibe from dunking on me.

    right. so you quote earlier article where the movie was nowhere near finished now and somehow that supersedes his later interviews post reshoots? dude. you have GOT to at least try harder then that.

    I've seen people get called out for lies and ignorance. I haven't seen someone get called out for just not liking the show. Perhaps you can find an example where they were "dumped on" for simply not liking the show. And no, telling someone who does not like a show to stop watching the show is not "dumping on them".

    It's like that old joke:

    Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this
    Doctor: Then don't do that.

    If you find that watching the show is "agony"...just stop watching it.

    What you assume is not what I said.
    I do not like the show so far, that should be abundantly clear. I am not demanding from anyone to change their mind and/or stop liking(or watching) the show.
    That's exactly what you are saying. You are saying the show is objectively bad...not that it isn't to your taste...but just plain bad.

    I think I could come up with a few examples of some things you don't have to have a personal opinion to call out as bad.
    Context might matter, on that we can agree due to resuscitating marijuhana example.
    But can you call a TV show bad without ever watching it? You can say "That doesn't look interesting to me" and decide not to watch it...but you can't say anything about the actual quality of the show itself without first watching it.

    As an example: Morbius. I saaw the trailers and I thought "that looks like a terrible movie". I have heard, from people I trust, that Morbius is a terrible movie. But I haven't actually watched Morbius...so I don't actually know for myself whether or not Morbius is a terrible movie.

    I think it would be, at least to an extent.
    But what if we've both watched the show, and one's liking it and the other's not?
    Then we would be talking about something else entirely.

    To what "extent" would my opinion be less knowledgeable than someone that hasn't watched the show?

    Dunno.
    Can I hatewatch the show without being insulted or told to stfu and/or stop watching, though?

    That's not dunking. Why would you come and talk about a show you do not watch? Makes no sense.

    Exactly.

    I'm using what you actually said... not what you wish you had said after it gets thrown back in your face.

    Can I hatewatch the show without being insulted or told to stfu and/or stop watching, though?
    I can't stop you from hatewatching it and I'm sure Disney will thank you for your engagement with the show by providing you with more shows like it for you to hatewatch in the future. But just like I can't stop you from hatewatching...you can't stop people telling you to STFU about it.
