I feel like MLs have a tendency to do this.

Espeically when it comes to the topic of "liberals" and "AOC."

    I feel like we have to expand on the idea of "you're annoying" here. I feel the annoyance comes from criticism, not the attitude. We have regularly annoying people all around us for every possible discussion, but they come into consideration only when the topic is these very interesting forms of media.

    Also, as a rule of a thumb I don't ever accept the point of "you should see it first". You don't have to do that for anything, and this is coming from someone who has seen the capeshit and the Barbie. We all discuss the terrible aspects of many terrible things, but now we have to take part in those activities to do so? When the shit bits are the whole point of the movie, you can obviously see through the charade without even watching it.

    I haven't seen Top Gun, but I can directly say it's a "cool American pilots" movie. I have seen Avengers, and Captain America is the "Big Brother USA" person. Why is my first opinion invalid all of a sudden?

      both opinions are correct but whether a secondhand opinion is valid depends on how surprising it is. it's universally accepted that Top Gun is a "cool American pilots" movie. If you claim that it's a subversive and erotic Marxist noir masterpiece that would be ridiculous and you'd need to back it up by having seen it and being able to give specific examples and stuff. I haven't seen it but I think there's a fairly large audience that just likes Barbie unreservedly so to criticize it effectively you need to have seen it.
