Ghostbusters was exactly what I expected to be

I felt the same.

And yet the only criticisms you ever saw about it at the time was people being like “omg, it’s so shit, so cringe” from people whom if you clicked their profile they’d be posting about how the alphabet mafia controls the media now and anti semitic shit.

We must’ve read different comments and reviews. I saw plenty of people just saying it wasn’t funny from what I at least thought were normal commenters. Which is the worst thing a comedy can be, really. Unless it really tries to be funny and fails spectacularly, that can loop around to being funny again. No such luck this time.

Thats where we are with Acolyte

I feel like the situation is similar where there’s some culture war shit going on and all the praise and criticism will be lumped under that umbrella. Didn’t hear that from my friends though, it just felt like it wasn’t enjoyable at all.

I’m sure you’re a decent person and that you’re not like those people at all, but you kind of are helping them by making their arguments for them. just say it’s not for you and move on, don’t try to criticise a show you haven’t ever seen…

Fucking hell. I just said my friends said it was shit so I didn’t watch it. You wanted to engage me about it.
