I’m not saying the worst, otherwise I would need to include the star wars sequels or transformers movies… Just some really dumb movie that somehow got praised.

For me has to be Ready Player One. That movie message is so “uhuh” obvious that is stupid, the whole nerd that saves the world in a thing that otherwise would be useless to know in real life… The so over the top evil gaming corporation. The whole 80s and 90s movies and games references get old after half an hour… And it’s so pandering towards the geeks and nerds, they really want the viewer feeling really cool for knowing that is the Shining hallway, or that is a Monty python reference… Or look a GUNDAM! YOU’RE SO COOL FOR COLLECTING THOSE GUN PLA! Look we have also overwatch and halo in the background! You’re so cool modern gamer!

Also the obviously attractive “nerd” hacker girl that thinks she’s ugly and deformed for having a small hard to see red tint in one side of her pretty face… Cmon man. In no universe anyone would think that actress is ugly.

And the message at the end is so hilarious: Look man, you’re cool for getting these references and being a real gamer is cool, but go outside more!

Is like the creators have no self awareness.

    Batman has been dark and broody decades before the Nolan trilogy.

    There have been lighter versions but dark and broody are basically core qualities of the character

      Yeah no. I think you’re confused because Batman Begins came out in 2005 which was decades ago.

      If you forgot he’s actually also known as Bruce Wayne and he knows how to smile and have a good time. Any actually cared about the various villains that he fought against. He used to be a clever detective.

      Post Nolan he is has lost a lot of complexity. That complexity of the character offset his serious side when the cowl came on.

      Look me dead in the eye and tell me Nolan’s Batman is better than BTAS. Or is even in the same ballpark.

        I’m talking about Batman the character, you know? The one first published in 1939. There have been multiple versions but “dark and broody” has been a pretty common trait

        If you forgot he’s actually also known as Bruce Wayne and he knows how to smile and have a good time

        No, it’s been well established he cannot get past the trauma of having his parents murdered in front of him. Actually, it has been well established he is now Batman and Bruce is the disguise… So no, he doesn’t really know how to have a good time

        Post Nolan he is has lost a lot of complexity. That complexity of the character offset his serious side when the cowl came on.

        Not really Nolan’s fault and not what you claimed first either. Batfleck for example was not dark and broody, he was just a fumbling idiot who claimed his superpower was money

        Look me dead in the eye and tell me Nolan’s Batman is better than BTAS. Or is even in the same ballpark

        Again moving the goal post … What does BTAS have to do with your comment that Nolan made Batman dark and broody??

          If anything Nolan had by miles the best live action Bruce Wayne, the whole billionaire airhead mask he created Bruce, the character in that universe is perfect. Nobody would believe that asshole rich dude that showers with top models in a pool inside a restaurant and buys the place in that instant is Batman. It works.

          Later version like that hulking dumbass Batfleck or extremely emo Battinson don’t work as well. Also I don’t see what’s so great about Keaton batman, he’s so boring and quiet, with no contrast between Bruce and batman. Then the one scene with emotion is the LET’S GET 🥜 scene but that’s it.

          So you just like the new lazy writing. Got it.

          Because I know you didn’t just draw a straight line from the 1939 Batman to the current Batman and was like ‘these are the same!’

          I’ll go watch my Adam West to Kevin Conroy versions. Where he was a multi-dimensional character. And you can enjoy the more modern one where he glares at people and had been reduced to ‘I’m Batman’. And this is where we part ways. Cuz this is a threat about opinions I gave mine and you are clearly mad that I don’t like your favorite version of Batman.

            No idea where you are drawing this from

            Because I know you didn’t just draw a straight line from the 1939 Batman to the current Batman and was like ‘these are the same!’

            Oh I see, you lack reading comprehension. To make it extra clear, having a common trait (what I actually said) does not mean “these are the same”

            And this is where we part ways. Cuz this is a threat about opinions I gave mine and you are clearly mad that I don’t like your favorite version of Batman.

            I’m not mad at all… Disagreeing with you does not make me your enemy… You care confusing me with yourself lol

            Multi dimensional Adam west? LMAO he was either a corny ass rich dude or a corny ass hero. With bad jokes even for the era.
