Doesn't make it less of a mess, though.

You mean its just as worn out as telling someone that they are just saying words if they don't have a 20 paragraph response? Please you are so clever I am awed.JimB said:You kind of have to explain where the cognitive dissonance is, or else this just comes off like you're saying words you've heard and that you comprehend are not complimentary but that you don't understand.Ashoten said:Cognitive dissonance Bob.
I did not say or imply anything like any of the things you said in that paragraph. If you want to be mad at me, please limit your anger to things I actually said.Ashoten said:You mean it's just as worn out as telling someone that they are just saying words if they don't have a twenty-paragraph response? Please, you are so clever I am awed.
Are you unaware that he said in Tuesday's video what he considers the difference to be, or are you just ignoring as irrelevant? If the latter, then why?Ashoten said:Bob hates the Amazing Spider-Man because it is a big company's (Sony) project to make a bunch of films like a product. However Bob has no problem lording mountains of praise on the Marvel movies that are the same thing.
You know, I don't agree with Bob on much, but if there's one thing I can get behind him on it's that Spider-Man 3 isn't as bad as people thought it was, and that Venom was mildly interesting one time when he first appeared in comics. Every appearance after that he's been a boring, one dimensional character that Marvel can never seem to decide whether he should be a villain or a hero, all the while not realizing that the only thing that ever made him interesting was his stalker-esque original portrayal. Not by being a "dark and edgey," version of Spider-Man.Kumagawa Misogi said:And Bob confirms he has really bad taste.
Doesn't take 20 paragraphs to come up with an argument, but what you have now isn't an argument at all.Ashoten said:You mean its just as worn out as telling someone that they are just saying words if they don't have a 20 paragraph response?

Did you somehow miss the numerous times Bob has explained the difference between Sony and Disney in this regard? One company uses gimmicks and continuity wisely while focusing on delivering a solid stand-alone movie FIRST. The other one constantly blunders in the storytelling department because they are more interested in throwing in the gimmicks and callbacks to hook comic-book fans, and it is detrimental to their movie.Ashoten said:Bob hates Amazing Spider-man because it is a big company (sony) project to make a bunch of films like a product.

We can only speculate whether Marvel/Disney puts their business before their desire to make good movies (they probably do though), that doesn't change the fact that they have still managed to make lots of money AND put enough care into their movies that they come out good. It is a simple matter of which franchise has the better filmmaking skill. I suggest you actually address that before you continue with your little fantasy narrative about how all that matters is whether or not the company makes money.Ashoten said:What? you thought that Disney was making these because they genuinely want to make cool movies? They don't have a business plan? Of course they do. The ugly thing here is Bobs Nintendo fanboy-ism is bleeding through into his movie reviews and disdain for Sony.
I don't think you quite understand the meaning of "professionalism". It doesn't mean stone-faced, no-nonsense reciting of facts about the movie. Bob has always added a personal touch to his reviews, and while there may be more of that than usual in this case, it doesn't stop him from delivering an honest review either. He still gives us the important facts of the movie as he sees them (incoherent plot, badly developed characters, etc...).Ashoten said:His whole review of ASM 2 reeks of un-professionalism. I thought that was obvious though.
I have followed them quite well, and this accusation is hardly true either, which I suspect you know because you have once again failed to explain WHAT you are talking about. You seem to think that all of your opinions are self-explanatory and so you forget to apply any kind of logic or critical thinking to them.Ashoten said:But if you don't think Bob has a bias against Sony go watch his gameoverthinker videos on Screwattack.
Didn't Venom get his own short comic series? Correct me if I'm wrong.piscian said:Agreed on all points. That's the problem - Spider-man 3 is literally 3 movies crammed into one. Thomas hayden and the sandman story AMAZING. So good. You could actually cut out most of the movie and have a good short film about Sandman. The Goblin storyline if it was fleshed out was a great movie on it's own. Unfortunately I have to agree with Bob for informational and nostalgia purposes I went back and reread or wiki'd the whole venom backstory and maximum carnage nonsense. It's all garbage it really is. Venom as a concept is neat but no writer to this date has been able to add any depth to venom or eddie brock. YOu will never see a section of marvel knights or selfcontained Graphic novel about venom. There's just nothing to say.
