i was having a discussion with my cousin on how Zack Snyder's superman barely represents the actual character and doesn't save people, and he said my entire criticism was wrong because there is a 3 minute scene in Batman V Superman that shows him saving people in like 4 places

now, is it a exception to my criticism? yes. does it change the point i made as a whole? hell no, hes still a careless superhero who throws people against buildings without giving it much thought, i wish people would get that doing this doesn't really prove your point

sure, you might show a small exception in the things people are criticizing, but if the majority of the work has that problem, then their point still stands, you don't look smart by pointing a small dent in their arguments, you look stupid for thinking that made that much of a difference when it didn't

i hate when people use a very small exception that doesn't affect the status quo to deflect criticism of a work
