Ok, you gotta stop at some point, shitting on a single thing nonstop for days is not healthy for the psyche. Literally every single post you’ve made for the past few days has been shitting on the movie

Everyone gets it, you hate GvK, spending this much time shitting on it doesn’t help anyone. Go talk about something you enjoy

I dunno, I buy 165 before FX reshoots and ADR stuff, not after.

It was actually the price of a McDouble, a small fry and a large coke from Mcdonald's.

It's been less than a month, and not counting responses to people debating me on this topic my GvK comments average to what, 1 or 2 per day?
I get it, people are upset to hear other people express negative views about the stuff they like, but again a few weeks of bitching to get it out of my system is not gonna harm anyone.

No, I said I was done debating/arguing it or sharing any legitimate attempts at critiquing (you can look up my post). Complaining and shit posting are different, and I said so in that thread. Especially one liners/cheap shots. We all need our vents.

See, this is what people get for being cheap on the cost. Should have splurged for the McRib, or at least the Big Mac.
I unapologetically, wholeheartedly, and without a doubt hate Godzilla vs Kong.

The entire fanbase has complained about 1998 for over 21 years, one person complaining over a few days about the latest movie that came out a month ago hardly matches up as "unhealthy discourse"

For myself I loved the movie but recognize it has faults and the viewpoints of those that weren't satisfied by the movie are as entirely fair and valid as my own. Because there were some things that could have been done better and things in the movie clearly went through a lot of editing it does not diminish my enjoyment to admit there were problems or not and refusing to acknowledge them does a disservice to the movie and series

I don't have to participate in it though so I'm not going to stop those that have problems with it from discussing them anymore than I would stop those talking about it positively

Hate Godzilla vs Kong if you want but you all know that script was written in a writers room. So Legendary must have paid with a large pizza.

And Yes I like Godzilla vs Kong but can see the script could have been better.

They need to get Greg Keyes to go over these scripts. His novelizations are always awesome and add in so many little things that make even 1-dimensional characters and thin plot lines so much better. Like in the GvsK book Nathan is so much more likeable and has an actual character arc, Mark and Monarch have a lot more of a presence, and you got to see a lot more of why Ren was the way he was. Another 15-20 minutes of run time to pad out this stuff and I don't think people would complain nearly as much about the script.
