I don't feel like they're obligated to defend every single movie they've ever liked. saying that they didn't like one movie is enough for me to believe them that they really didn't like it. and I don't feel like they need to justify that dislike to me because... well, I dunno. I don't see myself as the arbiter of others good taste. Blatantly not what I was suggesting. I was more saying that when discussing Infinity War, it would perhaps be helpful to explain why this peril was so unaffecting when it is affecting in others? I think in the absence of that GK's point was fine. It's not about going through each and every movie or something. It's more about clarifying a position on Infinity War specifically by using a comparison. MariaTaylor posted... sure, many people have admitted as much. I don't personally think it makes their opinion less valid or anything. do you think there's some magic potion they can drink that will make them less jaded? otherwise there isn't really anything they can do. they can either admit that they didn't enjoy it, or they can pretend to enjoy it to make you happy. OK, so your original post doesn't fully and truly apply to Infinity War, then. It was a broad look at what suspension of disbelief is and how you can't always draw direct comparisons but it didn't really account for the outside knowledge that a huge amount of people have and that is easily accessible to others regarding IW. I would say that if you're going to end IW with Thanos winning, suspension of belief in the way you were talking about would be virtually impossible. It doesn't apply in the same way. I don't get why you keep making this into an issue of other people being judgemental, either, or so it seems anyway: I don't personally think it makes their opinion less valid or anything I don't feel like they need to justify that dislike to me because... well, I dunno.
