I’ll defend the movie despite some of the weaker moments for the reasons you listed.
Yep. The movie is not perfect. I’m not saying that. But I wasn’t expecting perfection. I haven’t seen a perfect superhero film. I have gripes with all of them. But the people telling others MoS was flat out bad because of nitpicking or YMMV aspects unreasonably upsets me.

Considering that the only bad things I’ve heard from people so far are that it’s not 100% faithful to the comics… I’m still really looking forward to this. And that this is the first movie in the Justice League lead-up.
I do hope you enjoy it. Go in with reasonable expectations, and I honestly think you will.

But evil is so much more FUN!
I get to do the maniacal laugh thing and there’s minions and plush hideouts and taking pretty heroic types prisoners and other such PERKS.

DAMMIT! Who gave me a genre-savvy plucky hero?! I specifically ordered the sort that cries and curls up into adorable fluffy balls when taunted!

Never even answered the question, did she Precious?

Ouch. Things like that always seem to be more painful than like… a huge gash.
It actually didn’t hurt. I’m not even sure how I did it. I was cutting something out, and just realized I was cut.

That’s all? You sure got that cosplay tamed quick. Go ElfG! Go ElfG!
I said first, it’s hardly likely to be the last. ;)

This makes me think you’ll love Monstrous Regiment (Terry Pratchett, Discworld, standalone book)
I should go back to continuing to read Discworld. It’s good and actually well-written, but somehow never really grabbed me in any sort of I need to know how this continues way, so I don’t feel rushed to get back to it.

“THIS CAMP NEEDS AN ACTUAL COUNSELOR” THIS SO MUCH. nd ahhhh the whole ‘beth vs rachel thing is SO UNNECESSARY i seemed to have erased that from my mind because UGH
YES. All the things.
I keep forgetting to add this, but Percy needs to start telling people things instead of assuming they know — like oh hey you can’t get a new Oracle of Delphi host because Hades cursed the last/current one to never change hosts, so please stop burning out nice regular mortal girls in the futile attempts until you fix this shit with Hades. I feel like there’s a lot of background lady fridges or almost-fridges around these books and if they put Rachel in one to solve the Rachel/Percy/Annabeth love triangle I am going to be ill.
Sadly, that’s about par for the course for him.
Which reminds me why I unfollowed on all of my social media him many moons ago. It’s not that I dislike the fellow or never agree with him, but the times his behavior chafed against my sensibilities started to outweigh any positive he brought to my internet circles. Which is a shame.
I know that feel, bro.
It is kind of hilarious watching things bounce from you and your circle through some magic circle of unknown to my anime fangirls through another mysterious gateway to pop up in the mostly-unrelated-comics fans and etc.

Want to read my book, and eviscerate it? You are an incredibly entertaining buzzsaw when you don’t like something. :P [Also, I initially mistyped enterTAINTing, which should become a thing.]
Hur? Oh, ummm, maybe?
Thank you. I’m enjoying the Percy Jackson series, but it definitely has some major writing weaknesses in execution (part intended age group, part just not good writing), and the characters have major failings which while a narrative good thing (I dislike when characters—leads or otherwise—are perfect), it also instills in me a desire to chuck them off of high places.
EnterTAINTing… Entertaining ruiner of things… yes…
This pun, I like it.
