I liked Fantastic Mr. Fox and Grand Budapest Hotel, but that was about it, for me.

how is he gimmicky? why is okay for other directors to have a certain style, but when Wes Anderson does it it's considered pretentious and cringe? Can't like a Wes Anderson film without being called a tryhard hipster.

and when Regular Show did a Wes Anderson parody it got a lot of hate

Huh I remember that episode as a kid but I didn't recognize it was a parody since I hadn't seen a WA movie before.

As to gimmicky, I said that as a word other people use derogatorily more than what I'd use. His style though is certainly more distinct than the average director. It's why there's so many parodies of him, it seems easier to make something obviously Anderson-esque than, I dunno, Spielberg-esque.

Who even says this? He's a well lauded director. But his style is much more of a gimmick than other directors because it's so extreme and completely saturates his movies. You can take any single frame and tell it's a Wes Anderson movie vs other directors that just like a certain lighting style, or have a proclivity for long takes. It's one of his biggest strengths and weaknesses.
