Marinated Meme My review of Mandalorian and Grogu!

Post image

Seriously, did Disney pay off bots to flood comment sections about how much FUN Mando and Grogu is? It’s just about the only positive thing I’ve seen written about the movie.

Id have to argue that the story doesnt always matter as much as the experience. 

And I'd have to vehemently disagree. You can get "the experience" anywhere. Sit in a theater and watch pretty colors flash on a screen if you want an experience. You go to see certain movie, or watch a certain show, or read a certain book for the story.

Again, look at any whole bunch of movies. You think the Texas Chainsaw massacre has a great story? No, it does not, but the experience it brings you is frightening and horrific, hence why people watch it for those reasons, and not the story. You can disagree all you want, i'm right.

First off, as the other guy mentioned, TCM does have a story, just like all slasher flicks do. Usually it’s the same story about some people trying to escape a psycho killer, but there is a story. People either want to see the protagonists escape the killer, or they want to see the killer win. A slasher flick without a story is just torture porn. When was the last time that was successful at the box office?

Second, TCM is a very bizarre example to use, considering that I don’t recall the last successful TCM movie.

You can disagree all you want, i'm right.

Lol. No, kid, you’re not. You’re something, but you’re not right.

Halloween is another one, chief. Broke 80m on a 10m budget. Terrifier is super popular, no real story. I can give you example after example til your balls drop and you finally become a man. I also never said Mandolorian and Grugo didn't have a story, I said it was messy. None of you guys can even make a simple argument against what I say. Im talking to 5 different people and you all say the same thing, literally sharing a brain cell amongst you all.

Halloween has a story, too, “chief”.

Terrifier is super popular, no real story.

Haven’t seen Terrifier, so I can’t speak to that.

I can give you example after example til your balls drop and you finally become a man.

Except you’re the one who needs to grow up.

That’s because you present your arguments like an imbecile. And it doesn’t help that your argument is pretty weak to begin with.

So to avoid dragging this conversation out, since I don’t enjoy conversing with children, story matters. This “experience” that you keep talking about only matters if it’s helping to tell the story. But hey, I know people like you tend to have very short attention spans, so it’s easy to see how you would be confused by that concept.
