I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

    Batman returns is really dumb. The movie craftsmanship (or whatever) is well done but the premise is just so stupid (to me). I feel this way about all super hero films, I just can’t get past that the source is comic books for kids. I cannot take them seriously.

      “Comics are for kids” is an incredibly narrow view of the comic book world. They’ve never been exclusively for kids, not even the big superhero comics. Many have diverse themes, thoughtful critiques of society, and impressively deep characters.

        Completely agree and quite some of the Batman comics I have read I would not give to a child, far to much violence and quite a lot of very dark theams. Young teens are around when I would start being comfortable letting them read those and that’s still requires me to actually know them to some degree to make that judgement.

        That’s almost as bad as the “animation is for kids” take that a lot of people have.

        Sure, it’s great for kids movies, but you’re missing a lot of what makes animation great for complex themes and storytelling.
