They didn't even understand the source material.

Like, when he pulls the holy hand grenade... There are VERY SPECIFIC instructions on how to use that thing. Doesn't follow them.

Just superficial references with no comprehension of the source

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

I mean, the source material was kinda trash to start with.

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

People beefing with Holy Grail now? Fuck I'm a relic.

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

No, I was talking about Ready Player One the book.

I would never disrespect the Grail.

That is one of my favorite jabs, the technically correct, but non-sensical.

It's a fair cop.

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 33 points 2 months ago

Deadpool vs Wolverine. If fan service was a movie.

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 17 points 2 months ago

thats what it was billed as and its what deadpool is, not sure why some people use that as a negative for the film

[-] MeatPilot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Agreed, didn't make it through the opening scene before I went "Yup this wasn't made for me click"

I watched it high as fuck and I was so confused. I assumed I was just way too high so I watched it sober and nope it's just a jumbled mess.

[-] steeznson@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

I was dragged to see this and was extremely confused because the last marvel film I saw was Revenge of Ultron

[-] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

i saw iron man 3 before any other marvel film 😂

[-] deathproof@lemm.ee -1 points 2 months ago

This film was referencing it's own world too much it felt like sitting with a self-absorbed prick for a more than a couple of beers!

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

No, it's about Wolverine and Deadpool stabbing each other in the dicks.

Smh people these days can't interpret anything.

[-] simple@lemm.ee 28 points 2 months ago

Spiderman no way home. Everyone was raving about it, when I finally got around to watching it, it turned out to be high-budget fanfiction.

[-] Alabaster_Mango@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago

Aren't all adaptations "high-budget fanfiction" though? Like, what about the film makes it more fanfictiony compared to other comic or book adaptations?

[-] simple@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

sure, but it was fanfiction in the sense that the whole story is centered around fan service. It was mostly "hey, that character you like is back!" and "oh my god, the villain people like made an appearance for 3 minutes!". It didn't feel like its own movie, just a collection of "give the fans what they want" scenes.

Backdoor sluts 9. One through 8 are social commentary, but 9, 9 is this.

[-] moody@lemmings.world 7 points 2 months ago

Backdoor Sluts 9 makes Backdoor Sluts 8 look like Backdoor Sluts 7

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Couldn't agree more.

[-] lordnikon@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Ghostbusters afterlife and frozen empire, every star trek show since enterprise, every star wars since return of the Jedi.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

All the Jurrasic World movies too.

[-] lordnikon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yep I forgot them good call out

[-] darakan@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Fellowship of the Ring

To clarify. I love the movie, but I also can't escape the fact that like 90% of it became memed like crazy.

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Watched it for the first time a few weeks ago and it was like 50% meme scenes.

[-] klu9@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Wonder Woman. Every trite moral lesson from all 7 seasons of Star Trek: TNG crammed into one movie.

[-] Val@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Revenge of the Sith

[-] Contemporarium@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

Seems like pretty much any marvel slop past the first few decent movies is just 90 minutes of “OMFG REFERENCE?! KIND SIR I WISH I COULD UPDOOT THIS MOVIE TWICE!!!” lol
