Yeah, no, I'm not.
I used it how I assumed you used it, which is not literally, especially considering Ant hasn't literally been ignoring everything himself, seen here in one example (there is more):

No doubt there were things he wasn't pleased about or thought could have gone differently just because he likes it so you're being as ridiculous as you think I'm being. Good job.
That's because unlike you, I've actually talked to Ant and plenty of others about the film in detail, about what I thought was good and what I thought was bad. I think something the internet has largely failed in, is getting people to realize that they shouldn't speak about matters they know nothing about. In this case, you know nothing about my opinion about TLJ as an overall movie, just my opinion on some plot points. I'd suggest until otherwise, you'd refrain from commenting on said opinion.
This is legitimately awful, considering you've said concrete shit about the film itself and not just specific plot points. You did it in this post:
." I don't like the plot of this movie precisely because it adds nothing to the "SW film universe," whatever that is. I mean really, nothing.
But...
In this case, you know nothing about my opinion about TLJ as an overall movie, just my opinion on some plot points.
Your opinion is that, overall, you disliked the plot. You also say it adds nothing to the SW universe. I'm sorry but I don't need every last smidgen of detail regarding your perspective on this to make judgments about your attitude towards the film. Damn, I can't say anything because he didn't tell me what he thought of Rey's new hairstyle or whether Kylo looked beefy enough! I'm hooped! If I don't know everything, I cannot talk about anything!
Wake up.
Kek. Bias within itself is not a problem. Without bias of some form, which is a given when speaking on absolutely everything, you would never be able to approve or disapprove of something. "You're biased," is the absolute weakest defense there is. Right up there with, "And you're mean and smell." I don't like the plot of this movie precisely because it adds nothing to the "SW film universe," whatever that is. I mean really, nothing.
No, bias isn't a problem unless it is clear and obvious. For example, "you're clearly biased" implies that directly. Let's say we're discussing racial prejudice, as an example. It's like saying someone is "clearly prejudiced" when we all know everyone is literally prejudiced, in that way, one way or the other. We know we are discussing something that is OBVIOUS and likely problematic when we make that kind of statement. It's the same here. Now that you understand that, you can move on from it.
You were prepared to dislike this and mentioned SW was dead to you already. This is a clear indicator this film had no opportunity at a rational analysis from you. You were prepared to dislike it and came out disliking it. You think you have to suddenly get into specifics about the entire film to make that clear? That's laughable shit.
Or, and this is just a thought, people have differing opinions, and what you consider to be an excellent addition to a great trilogy may in fact not be so much to them. Maybe they thought a story should follow traditional storytelling elements and build on what was before, closing plotlines when necessary before establishing new ones, and having the characters in it stay true themselves. Or have characters at all in some cases. Everything doesn't have to do with nostalgia. Some people just will not like the things you like, and part of being an adult is realizing this and getting over it instead of using your opinion within itself as a flimsy reason for your opinion to be the valid one. You can then actually discuss the issue on its own merits, as opposed to using it existing as a merit within itself. But hey, if they're going to get hate anyway, they might as well have told an actual story, yeah?
Value is subjective. From my perspective, the shit-colored glasses people in question are missing the value that the film possesses. I'm not saying it has objective value here, considering the subject matter of what we're discussing. As in, it should be axiomatic? It doesn't matter, regardless. I've mentioned how this blindness can go both ways because it's true. You've decided to ignore this so you can falsely accuse me of not seeing that people have different opinions. Laaaaaaaame, man.
For example, saying they didn't tell an "actual story" is missing that value. As in, it's not "real" because you don't favor it. Yet, me mentioning that, from my point of view, people who are heavily slamming it are missing the value, is worse? How does that actually function in your brain?
WAIT! This is all invalid! I don't know your thoughts on the "overall movie." Except that the characters aren't true to themselves. Oh, and that the story is shit or they didn't tell a genuine one. Or that the plot sucked and added nothing to the SW universe.
I'm dead, chief.
No, I'm not. But considering what I know about Ant, like him flat out telling us he doesn't care about the plot making sense, something he's gone on to repeat in this thread, along with his general, "10/10 no complaints!" to, "ZOMG, gais, I'm starting to have problems," to, "Nevermind, it's perfect again because I decided not to care," he's definitely what I said he was. Someone willing to disconnect from reality to excuse this movie. That's fully within his prerogatives, just like it's within mine to point that out.
He said not every plotline has to succeed and it took it way out of context. You're half-right because it's fully within anyone's prerogative to grossly misunderstand someone else to misrepresent them. I mean, you are purposely taking his "10/10 no complaints" post at utter face value, which is absolutely absurd to me. He obviously has complaints, as I've shown, and takes some issues but won't have many, due to the fact he considers it excellent. It's similar to how your positive takeaways from this film won't come close to exceeding the negative takeaways because of your obvious (and preemptive) dislike of this film.
He has given thumbs up to certain criticisms and also mentioned some plot points might grow on him that he doesn't favor. Why ignore this to hamfist some stupid narrative about someone? Ant has something major going for him that you do not and that would be he didn't write the film off before it came out and you did. SW is already dead, remember? TLJ couldn't save it for you, even though you hadn't seen it yet. Amazing.
I love your patronizing rant about people being adults and accepting other people's opinions, yet you say Ant is "disconnecting from reality to excuse this movie" because he thinks it's amazing and you don't. You're a clown, dude.
