SMG is the only good thing about CineD and shitposting or not he's correct about Battleship and Avengers

The Avengers movies have absolutely dogshit direction and cinematography, they're shot like a loving TV show with more expensive CGI. They are on pretty much every level bad movies, there's nothing remotely interesting about them and they barely rise to the level of competent film making.

No, that was the scenario koos imagined before smg was trained to fyad. Once there he, and again this is my memory of it, just kinda kept the same gimmick from cined up while fyad tried unsuccessfully to get him to be a human being. Smg didn’t get to anyone either, but he never broke, which is itself pretty remarkable, given fyad was good at the time at getting weirdos to lose their poo poo.

tng gets a pass because it had a few good actors and while the majority of episodes were bad the good ones were really good; voyager at its best reached the dizzying heights of 'tolerable'

also tng was a product of the 80s and just plays everything straight, self-awareness is poison to star trek

does star trek ever actually try explain why almost every sapient species in the galaxy is humanoid, many of which can interbreed, most of whom are somehow on relative technological parity, and have relatively similar levels of intelligence? or for that matter how dumbshits like the klingons and ferengis are operating on the same level as the federation and romulans and poo poo

they fill the episodes with absurd technobabble about the dumbest most meaningless minutiae in what i can only imagine is an attempt at creating a feeling of verisimilitude, but what about the broader things

It's easily the best in the trilogy. The final one leans too hard into the parody and just makes it obvious.

While I'd personally agree that Aliens was the most entertaining film in the trilogy, Alien was a phenomenal and incredibly influential film.

Starship Troopers, much as Robocop before it, was a one-and-done IP.

Snyder movies are for people with the emotional maturity of horomone ridden 15 year old gamer boys who discovered philosophy for the first time and desperately want to be seen as intellectual superiors.

Yea and they're still universally more competent films than the Marvel trash, which are written and directed at a TV level of quality.

That's what makes it so effective at getting people all hoppin' mad about superhero movies, both positions of 'Snyder makes better films than Marvel' and 'Snyder makes intellectually stunted poo poo' are true.

The things a person likes, and I mean really likes, absolutely do reflect something about them.
