I'm sure Reddit's far from the only social media platform where its users are like this, but Redditors seem to get off so much on silencing any and all criticism towards objectively bad media. And they ALWAYS use the exact same statements!

• "Turn off your brain"
• "It's a kids movie; it wasn't made for you"
• "What were you expecting? Shakespeare?"
• "It made a lot of money, so you have no right to call it bad"
• "Why are you ignoring the movie's themes?"

All of these garbage non-arguments are just a bunch of variations of "Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next product". It's 2026, and for some stupid reason, people are STILL using these garbage non-arguments to defend garbage movies and shut anyone up who has any problem with said movies! You'd think this shit would've stopped years ago, but I guess that's just wishful thinking. 😒

The movies themselves could be either good but bogged down by a weak musical score, or they could be bad movies that need fixing, including their musical scores.

Examples of the former category I can think of are Captain Phillips, Kong: Skull Island and Gravity. They're all solid movies, but the musical scores in them are pretty bad.

Examples of bad movies that not only need fixing with the writing, but also the musical scores as well, are ones like Transformers (2007), 2012 (2009), The Meg, Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Underwater (2020), Godzilla vs Kong, and 65 (2023), etc.

I absolutely love Angela Morley's work on Watership Down and would've loved to see more from her. And I assume Jerry Goldsmith would've collaborated with Rosen at some point. Dude was composing movies left and right when he was alive. Though I'd love to see what Alexandre Desplat, George Fenton, James Horner, John Williams and John Powell would've had in store.

The volume down button hasn't worked in years and the power button has stopped working lately. I'm trying to upload a video onto YouTube, and the app has just stopped working properly. I need to restart the phone so that this will stop, but I don't know what to do!
