re: What movies are the most controversial on the m/tv?

If the question is a mix of hate/love then TLJ isn't even close to being in the running. Other then a few folks, who I suspect are engaging in some lazy trolling, that film is loathed on here.

Saying TLJ sucks on here is about as controversial as saying puppies are cute and its enjoyable to have oral sex performed on you. You are preaching to the choir.

Short term, as others have pointed out, anything that can get caught up in "identity politics" is likely to be very controversial. "This movie is promoting the gay, liberal, anti-white, and pro-cat ownership agenda!"

Then you will have the film's defenders, who've usually actually watched the movie, saying something like "Err... its a movie about a giant alligator living the New York sewers and the lead character just happens to have a pet cat."

Before conservative snowflakes get upset by that, I can assure you that on a forum that leans liberal, the liberal snowflakes have nearly identical melts over movies in the other direction. Bottom line, people who are looking to be offended by something will find a reason.

Other then that you will have a few movies and TV shows that come down to personal preference. Some folks on here, as an example, don't like the current season of True Detective because they think it is too slow developing. Others love the slow build up of tension and character development.
