I always felt ''No one asked for this'' is kinda narcissistic because the person is implying he's speaking for everyone and everyone is agreeing with him.

"No one" or "everyone" is rarely literal in these kind of statements. It's more to imply that the people who do/don't are so few that it may as well be no one / everyone.

Yeah well whenever I tell people who says those things they should only speak for themselves they get all butthurt so I'd say more people who say that shit truly believes they're speaking for the majority.

1/10 stars

I saw this movie last night, and my popcorn butter melted through to my pants. So for 2 hours 40 minutes I had butter pants while this kid wouldn't stop crying. I will never watch this movie again due to the emotional trauma and the director should should shot for allowing this travesty to be released. Movie itself was fantastic, however.

I only just popped that out, but I love it when you see reviews for anything similiar to that. They give it the lowest rating, because of some arbitrary thing while praising the movie/product for being fine.

I made a topic back in 2019 right before going to see Joker that I'm nervous because I didn't want to run into any incels there

The second post was SBAllen and he said something like "If you don't want incels to be there then you shouldn't go" lol

"who is this for" is basically for when someone releases a new installment in a franchise while dramatically changing things such that the new installment has very little in common with the familiar original. The end result is a product offensive to nostalgia while not being strong enough to stand alone on its own merits.

So I ask you,

Who is that for?

Imagine if Trump just released the sickest single. It is just a good tune, dude was gifted the power of singing for one miraculous day just to record this song. Makes you feel nostalgia for things that you never even seen. Even the most steadfast of libs have to admit that is one fine ass song.

That song would be better than it had any right to be.

I think it's appropriate when a piece of media is just obviously corporate-bred like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

Yeah, there's aspects of that game that people vibe with, but the totality of that package together can only come from a particular business model taking precedence over what an audience actually wants.

I'm sort of like this, except it's more like I'm going in with no expectations since I usually go in as blind as possible.

Implying I'm going in with low expectations comes off as pessimistic, and I feel like going in with low expectations is just going to make someone hate it instead of love it.

This blender arrived the day my wife divorced me. I had just gotten it open, ready to mix up a nice smoothie, when she walked into the kitchen and slammed down some papers. I was so distraught I forgot to finish making the smoothie. I had a few drinks, passed out for a while, and came back out to see all my smoothie stuff still out. So I finished making a smoothie. I think I left the yogurt out too long. I spent the rest of the night throwing up. When I got up in the morning I found that my dog had passed away in his sleep.

Blender has great power, lots of options for blending speeds, and cleans easily.

media is designed to make money not just be art

in that sense "who asked for this" is 100% a valid criticism

but you would be correct that art separated from capitalistic ventures it is not a valid criticism

I usually see 'no one asked for this' applied to shitty remakes that crash & burn, and the fact that Hollywood is creatively bankrupt is absolutely something that should be called out.
I'm so tired of this complaint because I would venture to say that the majority of movies released are original, but they're small and not talked about that much. The big franchises and reboots and remakes get all the press.

I disagree. People like to act like they're speaking for others or that others agree with them so it makes their argument looks stronger when in fact it's not true. People just need to speak more for themselves and people also needs to stop letting others speak for them.

not just that but it is literally what the studio making any movie is supposed to ask before they throw a budget at it

like having panels to gauge interest is a corporate tactic that is tried and true
