    Youre missing the point.

     

    No one is advocating clinical correctness at all whatsoever. No one is saying that you cannot shit on a film. In fact go ahead and do it and get it out of your system. What we are asking is that once you've expressed yourself numerous times there's no need to continuously do it over and over again.

    So how many times do I have to wait from you saying TFA is the GOAT before I call a mod? :P

    That's a bit different from the tone behind the OP but yeah it makes sense.

    Perhaps because the negative repetition easily outweighs the overly positive repetition? And that there is a difference between genuine optimism by fans who contently overestimate the film they want to do well and trolling because you hate a franchise/actor?

     

    We have taken action when the positive turns into trolling.  It happened with Avatar earlier this year.    

    Curious why trolling can't apply to someone who overly praises something especially if it's consensus not good but I largely get and agree with that. Everyone would prefer an upbeat atmosphere.

    No, in fact I agree with you. I love debates with different opinions, as let's face it: if we all felt the same way this site would be really boring. I think what we're just asking is that we keep in mind of being respectful to others and their opinions (whether you understand them or not). You can say your peace about a movie, and even debate it with someone and that's awesome, it's what this site is about. For example, something like: 

     

    "I really hated this movie, I felt that the plot really lagged in the first half of the movie and the was rushed the last ten minutes"  

     

    vs.

     

    "This movie is a fucking turd and a fucking waste of time. Piece of shit!"

     

    The latter wouldn't break forums rules keep in mind, however constantly spamming negative reviews as such is what we're trying to avoid. It really serves no point and like you suggested, no debates. It's like arguing with a wall.

    Again I'd like this apply to praise that constantly goes over the top and makes dissenters feel like they aren't welcome to the discussion.

    Oh, please. You know very well that BatB is a mammoth hit because of perfect blend of actress and character. That's the secret of big boxoffice stars - pick as many roles that audience wants to see you in. 

     

    Circle wasn't even advertised much so putting the blame on Emma or using it as a proof that her casting in BatB had nothing to do with BatB success doesn't hold. 

     

    It was partially a joke but this response is exactly why it partially wasn't.

    Why does Black Panther need the help of another MCU character to do well? Ant-Man didn't, Guardians didn't, and Dr. Strange didn't. People liked Black Panther in Civil War so if the movie is good, Black Panther will do well.

    Not to mention these cross overs are getting stupid and repetitive, it's a pretty strong indication the story is not where it needs to be. Stop turning every MCU film into a mini Avengers/Civil War.
