Nah, I think teens are just retarded. They grow out of it. When Meet the Spartans came out everyone at my school thought it was hilarious- now look where we're at.

>>85569621
But on the same note, TMNT was my favorite movie as a kid, still remained one of them well into adulthood where I learned it got shitty reviews

>>85569576
>>85569621
~10 years ago I loved the Star Wars prequels more because I had the toys and games than because of actually watching the movies. Of course now I don't like the prequels.

Kids love retarded shit man.

>>85570030
How was this movie? I have it on DVD from a thrift store, but I want to know if it's worth my time. Is it good, bad, or so bad it's good territory?

>>85570228
You ever hear that saying "so bad it's good"? This overshoots good back into bad about 5 times and stays there.

>>85570228
I haven't seen it myself in years, but I'd say it's worth a watch just for how ridiculous it is. I actually find it interesting in that it's barely anything like the source material.

>>85570030
My kids are 17 and 16, probably more the target audience of these movies than Super Mario Bros was.

>>85569491
I'm not surprised that teens like Suicide Squad or don't know what MCU stands for, but I am surprised if they think the Marvel movies are "gay". I thought in that case all the capeshit would be the same to them. Oh well.

The guy who wrote the english dub music fucking died of cancer.

Then the guy who did the actually good japanese openings died of cancer.

Then Japanese Sora's VA died of cancer.

I just fucking can't even watch these movies without getting sad now.

>>85570514
I mean not all teens but many are a bit on the edgy side
And the MCU is a very mainstream safe family friendly commodity
Those damn teenagers don't take to kindly to that

>>85569621
>Meet the Spartans

Don't remind me of that thing. I just looked at the critics scores of it though. 2% on RT and 9% on metacritic? Though for some reason the 9% is only based on 11 critics. That's so weird though, because I thought it was a successful movie for some reason. Did it make money? This and the other one. Epic Movie. Were those kinds of movies actually popular?

>>85570228
>>85570290
>I haven't seen it myself in years, but I'd say it's worth a watch just for how ridiculous it is.

Watching the movie as an adult is completely and utterly baffling on so many levels I don't even know where to begin. You really have to watch it for yourself.

>>85570411
anon, the divide isn't between kids and the media, it's a divide between kids and adults. kids generally have shit taste, and even they themselves will freely admit it.. once they become adults.

ask those same kids what they think about SS in 10 years.

>>85570723
I know when I was a kid I like SpyKids3D. looking back though, wow... it was just so bad.

Other movies I watched religiously include, Conan: the one with Arnold in it, some disney movie about a baseball player going to King Arthur's land through a hole in the ground, Star Wars Prequels, more shitty Disney original movies, and The Mummy 2.

>>85570781
Which Conan? Barbarian wasn't that bad.

Destroyer was hot garbage, though.

>>85570802
I honestly don't remember. Which is strange because I used to watch it so much that my mom would actually have to hide it from me. I just remember something about a maiden being sacrificed to a monster, and a lake with a crystal castle.

>>85570781
>some disney movie about a baseball player going to King Arthur's land through a hole in the ground

Oh god, I fucking saw that too as a kid. A Kid in King Arthur's Court!

>>85570832
Oh shit son! Did you also watch that movie about a kid that gains King Midas's Touch?!

>>85570828
Not >>85570802 , but that's definitely Conan the Destroyer. First one was a lot less cheesy and still one of my favorite movies, if not my favorite fantasy movie.

>Dissing the best shounen anime and Hosoda's best cinematography

When you're young enough, things like story structure and character development don't mean shit to you. You can just sit back and watch things happen without thinking. Then you get older and you can't stomach badly made movies anymore.

I agree with your kids. The movie was legitimately fantastic.

Critics have no idea what they are talking about, it's the 14 - 17 year olds who know what real entertainment is about.

>>85569491
>those movies are gay

You have smart kids.

Do something special for them to remind them you love them.

>>85570030
Almost everybody likes that movie now though. The Mario Brothers movie being good is a pretty common idea.

>>85569491
The mistake you're making here is assuming that teens have good taste. They don't. I cringe at some of the shit I thought was great back then.

>>85569576
I can't bring myself to hate Episode 1. I always found it to be a fun movie and loved the action scenes, especially the finale. 2 just bores me and 3 is just tryhard in such an utterly cringy way and I couldn't believe how bad the acting was re-watching it more recently.

>>85569491
I work at a high school. Kids there wouldn't shut up about SS, most of them also liked BvS because it was "different" and more "brutal". I asked them about Civil War and the mcu, the answer was "lol the people who likes those movies are in their thirties at least and go see them with their kids"

But teenagers have shit taste and like being contrarian.

I think Episode 1 actually stands up fairly well if you look at it as its own story instead of a Star Wars story.

They loved the MCU when it first came out (when they were kids), currently they see it as baby stuff and like Suicide Squad, and are going to be adults within the next few years

>>85571457

Yeah Episode 1 really isn't as bad as people say. It has some abominable things in it, and it was never ever going to live up to the sky-high expectations that people had going into it, which wasn't helped at all be the remastered cinematic rereleases that had just happened but it's really the thinnest end of the wedge.

Physical sets and costumes, careful use of CGI and the Podracing and Darth Maul fight are genuine iconic highlights not just of the film but of the Star Wars franchise on the whole.

That said, there are some godawful things in it. Watto, Jar Jar and the Nemoidians being horrendous racist stereotypes being the most egregious. They also needed to make sure new audiances KNEW that Palpatine and Sidious where one and the same or else it was going to seem like an asspull later on.

That said, all of this pales compared to just how bad Attack of the Clones was.
>Reliance on CGI when the technology is still uncanny valley as fuck
>Next to no character direction from George
>That dialogue
>The main A side plot of Obi-Wan Noir Detectiving it up makes NO SENSE from start to finish.
>It also has no fucking denoument at the end
>Misuse of Christopher Lee.
>Seriously that man has killed people George what are you doing.
>Seriously George Stahp

Not even John Williams could generate fucks to give for that film.

At least Episode 3 had that much, at least by Episode 3 the CGI was coming out of the uncanny valley, although nobody on earth wouldn't say the whole thing was a mess as they try to sync it up with ANH in the last 10 minutes.
You know things are bad when the big fight that has been foreshadowed for three films and multiple decades is overshone by a green muppet fighting Ian McDiarmid.

>>85571475
I let me kids say fuck since I say it around them and yeah they're in their late teens, censoring them from swearing would be about as effective as trying to keep them from viewing porn or listening to "devil music", I just tell them not to use it at school or in front of other parents

>>85569491
My 14yo sister doesn't really like what the DCEU is doing, and she says some of her friends agree (she said that right after watching BvS one of them said "please don't tell me you liked it!")

Arguably i might've influenced her, i showed her and my brothers the first 2 Donner movies and she loves them and husbando'd Reeve, but we also disagree on things since she loved how quirky and apparently cute Lex was despite being disappointed in the overall movie

My 10yo brother on the other hand doesn't care because he just hates Superman, he's in the 2boyscout4me phase, said he was glad Batman could beat the shit out of him and assemble the JL in his place

But they love the MCU, except my brother often mocks characters like Loki and Thor because i guess they're too beloved by girls. Some kids have shit taste, but i don't think it's much different from adults. Some will like X, some won't. Can't speak for Suicide Squad since we haven't seen it yet

>>85569576
NO ONE liked those movies. They were like Man of Steel. TONS of people saw them, but EVERYONE left the theater knowing they were garbage.

In contrast people actually do enjoy Suicide Squad.

A lot of children saw those movies. I doubt anyone thinks they're high art, but plenty of people like them well enough and just get on with their lives. Years ago, maybe even a decade ago, there were jokes being made about how people liked the trilogy most that they grew up with, with the punchline being children of the PT liking Jar Jar.

I'm not saying they weren't bad films. They were pretty bad. Definitely worse than the OT, though it's not like those don't have similar problems that get glossed over and point to the worse ones the PT would have once Lucas was doing everything himself. But it's incredibly foolish to believe no one liked them. They liked them well enough to make prequel era EU fiction incredibly proliferated for over a decade once the setting was established.

>>85569491
It's because of the inherent desire kids have to look more grown up which seems to have only gotten worse in the age of social media. It's the same reason kids move from Nintendo to Call of Duty much more quickly now. MCU is for the most part bright, colorful and funny while the DCU is dark, brooding and gloomy. It seems more adult to them despite it still just being comic book superheros so they gravitate towards it because they think liking it makes them seem more mature. That and kids usually have bad taste in media that changes from week to week. Some adults in the future will likely have nostalgia for these films because they watched them as kids but I doubt they be considered good ten years from now just because of that.

>>85570781
>The Mummy 2

Hold up. I just watched that the other day and while it wasn't groundbreaking, it was definitely still an entertaining film.

>>85571121
>The Mario Brothers movie being good is a pretty common idea.

None of this is anything new, nor does it mean something is automatically bad. I grew up near the end of the lifespan of the SNES and Genesis war, but even then Genesis was seen as cool while SNES was seen as kid stuff...despite arguably having a better collection of games in retrospect.

The same thing happened once PSX and N64 were out, PSX was for cool kids and N64 was kiddy stuff, in this case I think the PSX prevailed over the two....then there is something like Batman media vs Superman, Batman TAS was cool and dark and X-Men which featured the then most popular anti-hero of Wolverine and seemed to deal with more "mature" themes compared to Superman or the Fantastic Four which as far as most kids I knew considered to be pretty boring in comparison, and I can't say looking back that this was wrong either

>>85570623
>The guy who wrote the english dub music fucking died of cancer
Fuck, that sucks. I'm still glad someone eventually leaked the score, since it never got a proper release. Only the stuff used in the movie, though it's not like the US Digimon Dub ever used a great variety.

>>85572097
Is it really all about adultness though? I think the OP has a point in talking about the age of the Marvel movies. 10 years is almost nothing to someone even in their mid-20s, but to a teenager it means a universe of difference.

MCU were movies now young adults thought were cool when they were little kids, that isn't cool especially when you consider that the MCU has only become more and more family friendly as the years have gone on since it began.

>>85569997
This. The adventures that my Qui-Gonn and Obi-Wan toys (usually accompanied by my bionicles) had were where all the affection I still hold for the prequels comes from.
If these kids are in their teens and genuinely love these movies, that's different. I still have a lot of genuine respect for much of the stuff I liked as a teenager. The DCEU must be tapping into the youth zeitgeist in a way that older people can't perceive.

>>85570228
If it hadn't been called Super Mario Bros, it would be fondly remembered as a cult cheesy scifi flick like Waterworld or Trancers.

Not letting them do it in front of you just makes you look like a soft fogie and diminishes their respect for you.

Its genuinely the Transformers crowd that made Bay loads of money. Kids thought it was some amazing shit. I was young enough to like the first 2 Transformers movies thinking they were the shit.

Ofcourse growing up I realized they were shit by the time 3 and 4 rolled out but my cousins who were entering the same age I was when 1 and 2 came out loved it.

So really its the young teens thinking all these edgy shit makes them all grown up and cool. When in reality its just appealing to the lowest denominator.

Wow you must not be that old then. What you say does make sense though.

If these young teenage shitheads hate the MCU I won't be surprised. Surprisingly the older teens or young adults still hype about the Marvel movies and find what DC is trying to do super edgy in my experience.

>>85572458
>>85572435
So young middle school shitheads have terrible taste. What else is new?

>>85570654
Most of their movies have budgets of 20 or 30 million and they fairly reliably got 80 million back. They're not popular, that's playing to a very specific crowd which is just big enough to get some return on investment if they spend next to nothing to make the films. Any other movie would consider '80 million' to be a dismal embarrassing failure.

>>85572435
There is nothing "edgy" about Bayformers, and really thinking they're the worst thing ever is mostly hivemind bruh

Sorry anon, your kids are just retarded.

When I was a teenager I knew a lot of kids who liked reading Eragon.

Don't worry. Your kids will grow out of it. Hopefully.

>>85572435

I don't think it's a generation thing. I think they're just pandering towards a specific group of teenagers. The kind that don't really read the suicide squad comics or any comics of any kind. They don't really pay attention to the quality of the movies because they have absolutely no expectations and only go to purely hang out with their friends. I do know a few teens who shared most of the same views with the critics on the movie though

>>85572075
I was dragged to episodes 1 and 2 as a child and I fucking hated them, not because of the poor characterization or nonsensical writing or any of the multitude of 'adult' things to hate, but because it was so fucking boring. Unbelievably boring. So much of the film is just two dudes looking at each other and talking in front of a green screen, talking about shit like the taxes on fucking trade federations that I neither understood nor gave a fuck about. I find it difficult to believe children enjoyed films with such emphasis on shit like trade federations and senate deliberations and standing around talking at each other.

It's interesting. My cousin's (15y/o) phone background picture is of SS Joker, and he was saying how it was "fucking sick" or whatever. Everybody I know who likes MCU are young adults, but it seems like the teenagers are really into SS.

>>85569621
The difference is with a cinematic universe, the studio has an opportunity to keep these teens hooked for the foreseeable future, and shape their cinematic tastes.

>>85572849
Posting this just made me realise that SS is aimed at edgy teens, I see myself at that age in my cousin and it was when I thought Fight Club and The Dark Knight was the height of cinema.

Kids are retarded. If the cool kid(s) at school likes something, everyone else will pretend to even if they think its rubbish. ie. the endless slew of pop singers.

>>85572885

>Posting this just made me realize that SS is aimed at edgy teens

A teen have seen less movies and thus less defined tastes. He likes a genre (or many) but don't know its faults and its clichés because he hasn't seen enough movies.

>When I was a teenager I saw movies like Batman 89 and The Crow, they are still great
I didn't say that all the movies you enjoy as a teen are bad. I said teenagers are less sensitive to bad movies (because they haven't seen enough movies) and thus will enjoy some that a lot of adults see as bad.

>>85569491
Suicide Squad was clearly made for a younger crowd, who don't know any better and have no taste. It's smart marketing because you can trick them out of their money easier.

>>85573353

Bitch, I've forgotten more about Transformers than you'll ever know, and *I* can tell you that Bayformers is edgelord as fuck. Remember the last movie, where every other line out of the Autobots' mouths is either about killing someone or something, or calling someone or something their "bitch"?

Yeah, there is a difference between what kids like and what adults like. It happens with every generation.

And just like you have a fondness for the shitty music, movies, shows, and fashion from your childhood (that your parents always hated), such will be the case for your kids.

>Bitch, I've forgotten more about Transformers than you'll ever know
You obviously don't remember being a little kid seeing the original movie, thinking it was fucking awesome how a ton of bots got murdered while heavy metal music played and characters used curse words.

So, no, I don't believe you are a Transformers fan if you think Bayformers is "edgy", tasteless and ill conceived sure, but not "edgy" in the least.

>My kids are in their late teens, read the thread dipshit

Read my post again, its not a generation thing if kids younger than your kids like MCU. I never said your kids are under 10, I just said they're faggots with shit taste.

>>85574399
And I'm saying the MCU is appealing to little kids, it's Batman and Robin

>companyfags try and read the minds of the teenage audience, stealthily pretending to not be teenagers themselves, in order to justify their taste in capeshit.

You're a moron if you don't think that shit like MCU and The Force Awakens is popular among youth audiences. But SS directly appeals to a particular part of the teen audience that enjoys contrarianism and edge in contrast to the brightness of the MCU, which has started to show cracks with shit like Age of Ultron.

>First thing they said was "what the fuck is the MCU?", which I explained, they then said "oh those movies are gay"
You have smart kids for a fag.

I haven't read those books since middle school and I have the fondest memories of them but now I'm scared to go back and find out they're shit

This. It's basically Hot Topic the movie.

Imagine my surprise when i realized they were basically Star Wars in middle earth. The first one at least. I've read the sequel Eldest and bought Brisingr, but i never finished the latter because i was getting bored already after 2-3 chapters. I still have it sitting on my shelf doing nothing, i feel like it's a waste but at the same time i suspect reading it will be a waste of time. Was it particularly dark or something? I vaguely remember the book opening with a description of some evil ritual that involved cutting off limbs

There were a lot of those parody movies in 2000s. There were 5 scary movies, disaster movie, superhero movie(which was actually good) and lots of others. they even parodied hangover

>>85574102
Difference being that those things engender ACTUAL maturity, not just a pastiche of maturity

You're kids and their friends sound like terrible people. You should probably kill them.

>being a nerdy dad myself I tried to join the conversation and especially since being a regular on this board

And yourself as well.

>First thing they said was "what the fuck is the MCU?
Your children swear to you? Do they have to respect to you as an authority figure? You are raising your kids wrong.

The first time is always special. Kids haven't seen all the earlier stuff that you have seen so they don't have the same perspective. Even if they then later go back and watch older stuff, it's not going to wow them the same way.

Also you probably like a bunch of stuff that your parents didn't like.

>in the future ...these films will be held in high esteem
in the future these films will be forgotten or mocked to the same degree as things like the schumacher batman films, or the 90s Flash TV show. It's pop culture, none of it matters and none of it will "last."

>>85569491
>First thing they said was "what the fuck is the MCU?"

>being a numale dad who lets his teenage children swear around him

Jesus Christ.

I just rewatched the movie a couple days ago and all that stands out is Optimus ripping Megatron's head and spine out

These movies are sensory overload, and it's tiring trying to keep track of everything happening on screen. The 4th one in particular felt mind-numbingly bloated

>>85571292
and only about 3 movies worth watching. pretty pathetic.

>>85569491
you let your kid/kid's friends say fuck to you?
You're a terrible father OP

>>85572516
Hey that's fine. Making a cheap movie for a niche crowd is a viable business model. Just wish people didn't talk about them as much.

>>85574573
You're wrong, you dumbass. The figures these films pull in and the critical response to them show pretty clearly that they're enjoyed across several generations.

Your kids just have terrible taste. They're probably in that awkward upper teen area where they think shit like 300 is good.

What are you, an infant?

How can you watch this puerile garbage? How could you let your kids watch it? Its fucking red letter propaganda, its filling your heads with nonsense.

Stop supporting fascism.

They're kids. They like dumb shit. Fuck, their big argument over why they don't like the MCU is "it's gay". Like, the fuck is this shit even.

>>85569491

The kids are right.
