Or the reboot of Tremors

Ruh roh!

Wow! I had completely forgotten about Rodent’s Revenge. I looked up game play and I remember playing those first couple of levels and how terrible I was at it. This guys review really resonates with me.

When the criticism is, “you didn’t enjoy the thing the way I did, therefore you’re wrong,” that’s not a valid criticism and they need to stfu. It’s an air of superiority saying that there’s only one correct way to interpret media, which obviously is their way. That’s the issue. And this is about entertainment, not science.

It’s the same argument about an author’s intent vs the reader response, if people find other meanings and themes within a work other than what the author of a book intended, are they wrong?

At least in that case, the author is an authoritative figure for that medium, after all, it is their fictional story, so you could make that argument, even if it is weak. In this case, the author of the article has no relation to the medium and is just shitting on people for not enjoying a thing for the exact reasons that they do. Criticism on people seeing themes in a work that the critic denies exists is bad form.

If you haven’t read the article, I’d highly suggest that you do, and I’m sure you’ll understand where I’m coming from.

That’s a relief!

Very cool!

To be fair, they are both Ontario, CA.

“It’s possible to be bad at watching a tv show”

What’s troubling me, though, is that some viewers seem to be treating “The Pitt” like a puzzle to be solved. They approach the show the way fans used to obsessively approach “Lost,” a mystery box series that became appointment viewing and seemingly broke everyone’s TV-watching brains in the process.

All of which is to say, “you’re enjoying a thing the wrong way…” Who gives a fuck? Let people read into things and try to guess what’s going to happen next. If it doesn’t turn out like they thought, and they get mad about it, that’s on them. But don’t shit on people for enjoying something.

I remember following Iguanamouth on tumblr back in the day, she always posted good stuff.

It’d be a speed run, though!

That’s interesting. I’ve had that same thought before, it might be cool to see someone else’s take on it. Do you remember the name of the story or author?

Is that a hoe? (The tool, not the woman…)

That’s the dream right there!

I’ve always wondered if it’s because modern cars are more aerodynamic and so the bugs go up and over the car with the air flow rather than into it.

What title is TD? I’ve been wracking my brain but can’t come up with anything. Team Director? Edit: oh, Tech Director?

IBD do be like that…

The long line would be the spinal cord, but I believe the round blob at the bottom of the spinal cord is its brain.

I think Scarecrow was stood up as a straw man!
