    This is where you were being passive aggressive. “Out here in reality” is you mocking others for saying Barbie is selling more than Avatar 2. And yeah, maybe they are wrong, but using that phrase is a direct insult and holier than thou condescension  whether you realize that or not. “In reality, where smarty pants like me live and dumb dumbs like Barbie stans are, Barbie is way behind those other movies”. That is insulting and disrespectful and totally uncalled for.

     

    If you said something like “that’s not very accurate. Barbie is a fair bit behind Avatar and significantly behind recent Marvle movies”, you would have been fine. But you just had to act like a pompous jerk for zero reason. That’s not cool and we’re not letting that slide. You’re an adult, so it’s expected for you to behave like one.

     

    So next time, please at least try to be mindful of your delivery and ask yourself, “will this be taken the wrong way?”. It only takes a few seconds.

    If someone says “2+2 is 5” and I go “out here in reality, 2+2 is 4” is that an attack? Is that trolling? Am I being passive aggressive towards other members (if anything it would be passive aggressive against EC, though in this case it was people misinterpreting what he said not him saying something false). I don’t think so. It just is what it is, and I’m trying to help the board by letting people reading the thread know. I feel like you latch on to minor uses of wording by me that you wouldn’t (and shouldn’t!) warn other people for.

    Yeah, I very much doubt it has the highest true th this year but wed+th combining for highest yearly previews is at least plausible, perhaps liekly. Being firmly behind but at least in the ballpark of half+ the mcu films at this point is very promising when you consider how those come into the final week with big volume and then have among the lowest % rises.

    Don't like condescendence :capmad

     

    You could very well be factually correct about this, but did you need to be passive-aggressive about someone daring to say Barbie has hot pre-sales? It's like a point you have to go out of your way to prove that it's not having Marvel movie pre-sales or something?

    I was not being passive aggressive about someone saying Barbie presales were hot (they are! It’s doing great! Super great!) I was just setting the factual record straight. EC didn’t even say that Presales were beating every movie since WF — because of course, he knows they aren’t — he was predicting that it would open bigger than very movie since WF (which seems a little overheated to me, but outside chance). The false claim being spread was someone misreading his Twitter so I was trying to nip that in the bud.
