coldenhaulfield , are you saying that Grace Randolph is a "a real critic who's serious about film scholarship?"SaveSave No, nor did I even watch the clip in question. The tone of the OP was enough to set me off. And you didn't address my points! I would address your concerns but, you make more assumptions than I ever did in the initial post. You assume that I believe MCU films are high art of some sort. I don't. You assume that by "praise," I mean critical deference. I do not. The MCU's films can be awarded praise for any number of business-related innovations that have little to do with their artistic merit (or supposed lack thereof). You assume Grace Randolph is a professional critic. She is not. She's far closer to a gossip columnist. SaveSave |

My post still applies to (most of) the rest of these rubes around here regardless. Wonder Woman's success has brought out the worst in the MCU fans here, I feel. |

Wonder Woman's tremendous success has brought out the worst in some for sure. I've adopted a wait and see approach. One lauded film does not make for an entire cinematic universe. Personally, I thought Wonder Woman had an exemplary first and second act but descended into typical genre histrionics in the third. |

Wait, isn't this the same lady who actually made a petition for Fox to release a PG-13 Deadpool movie just so some 8 year old kid could see it?

I tried watching that shot by shot review of the Black Panther trailer, but when I saw it was 25 minutes long I only watched about 3 seconds of it.

Oh god Grace Randolph, I had forgotten all about her but thanks for reminding me that she exists out there somewhere. The things I remember about Grace are her praise for BvS which I think she was claiming it was a masterpiece or compared it to Citizen Kane or something right? That and her stupid ass twitter rants with other youtube critics about how Marvel has paid them off and blah blah blah. She then got offered to come onto a Collider show and express her opinion because John Campea (who I also can't stand btw) was one of the people she was accusing of getting paid off and she then backed out of that and blasted them again because Kristian Harloff apparently made rotten comments about her. I remember watching her twitter melt down at that time because it was like watching a car wreck. She seriously comes across as a nut job.

I stopped caring about beyond the trailer and this other channel called comicbookgirl19 for over a year.

Honestly, who watches movie critics on YouTube? You're supposed to read them. In a physical newspaper. There's no accountability anymore. Get off my lawn!

For someone who hates MCU movies you sound suspiciously like one of many of that franchise's heroes. Wisecracking while you fight the whole world of imdb2 MCU devotees. Keep quiping mate, just keep quiping. |
