You're wrong.
You're wrong.
You're nearly right.
You're absolutely right.

I'll take those odds.

Folks need to get over telling people to get over it.

I love the irony of that statement!

Movies should not be treated like comic books stories that go on forever. The MCU should have finished with Endgame. I'm over it.

The MCU should have ended at Infinity War.

Unpopular opinion: superhero movies are overdone and overrated. I'm ready for the next Hollywood fad.

Time for some things some people may need to hear.

The Hobbit films are not nearly as bad as you think they are, or are being told. We all know it's not Lord of the Rings. Get over it.

Star Wars films were never really that good, but I still love the crap out of them and will continue to do so as I please. Besides, the Holiday Special already set the lowest bar so it can't be any worse. Get over it.

I need to come out of hiding and start playing games with other people again.

My favorite comics have often been the ones that didn't involve the world ending or a country being taken over or destroyed - but were more about the characters. And so I am liking a lot of the MCU (TV) stuff they're putting out now that has the smaller scale stories a lot.

I am over people who don't care about stories unless they have the end of the world (or half of it) as the outcome of failure, or need a bad guy who can beat the last bad guy who was tougher than the bad guy before that.

(So, Busiek's Kang Dynasty is one of my least favorite Avengers stories - even though there are a few sub parts I really like).

500+ movies are released in the US each non-pandemic year. How many of them are super hero ones? And, unlike RPGs, do any of them require a viewer to have a large regular group of friends buy in before they partake? Are movies no fun without such a group? Do we need critical or box office backing before we admit to liking them or want to discuss them? Do we see a lot less movies (as opposed to TV shows) as a people than we used to? Does that make us focus only on the tent-pole or big event ones?

There's a lot of things folks do, in fact, need to get over. We are generally talking about how to pretend to be elves. If whatever aspect of this is so important to you that you are willing to treat living people badly, getting over it is probably called for.

They haven't even gotten close to how ubiquitous westerns once were and how long that fad lasted.

I am one of the few people I know that loved Infinity War but hated End Game.

I also loved the Last Jedi and hated Rise of Skywalker.

It's not a contest for me. Both are equally overdone and repetitive, imo.
