[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 8807292, member: 42856"] I don't think it's a failure to aknowledge different point of views. It might be a genuine lack of understanding because the starting viewpoints are too far apart. For example, the dialogue. I found some of them cringy. Imagine one found them genius-level of writing. We could "agree to disagree", but maybe at some point the disconnect is so huge that it's difficult to comprehend [I]what[/I] one finds cringy and what the other finds good. Providing examples might help illustrate what is only a difference in appreciation. Someone mentionned the bad dialogue, providing an example of a piece of dialogue that is bad and why makes it clearer than just stating opinion. Let's take the scene where Galadriel remembers her husband. She speaks of him like he's dead to Theo. It's mean if he isn't and she knows it, but let's assume that the show Galadriel lost contact with him during some war and didn't have time to check his status for the last millenia, because she was concentrated on other things. She mentions the last time she saw him in armour. (presumably going to a fight) She makes a comparison that sounded (in French, I didn't see the original lines) hilariously awkward, like a silver-colored oyster or something. That's a comparaison that sounds really like a 6-years old would make. It might be poetic-sounding in English version and be a translational blunder, I don't know, but if I say this scene was hilariously bad, my opinion might be impossible to understand to someone who only saw it as poetic.
