Superhero Movies

Usually when someone has an opinion, there's always someone there to point out their flaws and tell them that they're wrong. Even with something as arbitrary as superhero movies. If I were to make a list of my top ten Canadian musicians, I can guarantee that no one would share my exact same opinion. I find that incredibly interesting.

However, instead of stating their opinions calmly, a lot of netizens have the tendency to be aggressive about it, or say something completely irrelevant and rude. I've seen a lot of comments, especially on YouTube that make me wonder "Why? Was that actually necessary to say?"

For example:
This user, as you could probably tell, isn't sorry. Notice the use of "I agree with you, but-"

This one is a big, "Please no, why?"
YouTube makes me sad sometimes.


The blog post I picked only has three comments, but they do a surprisingly good job of showing diversity of ethos. The author is laying out his top 5 worst superhero movies. This was obviously met with criticism and disagreement, especially towards this gem.
And it goes on like this... for a long time. I can see where readers were getting slightly perturbed. The section solely based on Captain America was longer than the rest of the blog.

But now, onto some of the comments.
Now, in the context of the blog post, I have no idea what this commenter is referencing. I don't know if he or she means the Fantastic Four movies but who knows. From how the commenter types, you get the impression that he or she is younger, just because there are basic grammar errors. There's a lack of... sense if you know what I mean. You don't take the opinion as seriously.


This comment runs a bit long, but it has good points. The commenter posts their own opinion in a respectful manner. They use good grammar and sentence structure, so you take them a lot more seriously. This commenter's opinion seems more thought out and legitimate.

  1. I love superhero movies and the new avengers is one of my all time favorites. I can understand why some people didn't like it though. Maybe they don't follow the comics? I'm not sure because I don't read them, but I know that has been a problem for fans for a very long time. I love all of the different opinion you posted. Great Blog :)
