Disliking woke trash is "being offended"
He liked it. He then fabricated a reason to be offended, not based on the movie itself, but based on how some might have interpreted the movie. Even though no one has interpreted the movie in that way.
There is indeed something wrong with that mindset. "I want to be mad at things, so I make up reasons to be mad at them when I can't otherwise justify my anger."
So, I guess you're woke since you're pretending to not understand the context of the post you responded to.

I've made my point.
That you think those movies are better, yes.
Plenty would disagree. I think DoFP is better than 10 of the movies you listed. Most people, including me, consider Thor to be a pretty crummy movie.

And as for the X Men franchise itself. DOFP is only better than Dark Phoenix and maybe Apocalypse. All others are superior.
Ah, the First Take kind of argument. Why not let my defensible argument stand as is when I can throw in an extra garbage take to make it worse?
Anyone who says DoFP is worse than X-Men: The Last Stand has literally never seen a movie. I won't accept otherwise.

So, no one?
Is searching for tangentially-related things to complain about a movie you enjoyed a similar sort of grasping?

That's fine, but those things might make more sense to you once you accept that The Paperboy is a really bad movie.

It's high quality, yes, but the flip side is that now we'll have to wait 2 years, or more, for the second season.
Is this confirmed? Gilligan went into season 1 production with 2 already confirmed. Outside of Severance, Apple does well getting shows out regularly.

Why does all the stuff he sets down disappear? Why does the "tortilla" on the flat top move back and forth without being touched? How does it fold itself?

I heard Qualley sucked in this, but I still wanna watch it
Qualley is not in Nouvelle Vague. The only American or Emglish-speaking actor in it is Zoey Deutch.
Qualley is in Linklater's Blue Moon. I don't know about her performance, but I hear the movie is fantastic.

Winners have to give their acceptance speech immediately after taking a bit of a hot wing, probably.
Are we not counting the 90s weirdo flop, North, as a major film? It was definitely a repeat blockbuster rental when I was a kid.
1. Spinal Tap
2. Princess Bride
3. When Harry Met Sally
4. Misery
5. The Sure thing
6. Stand by Me
7. A Few Good Men
8. The American President
9. North
Never got around to the Brooks doc. Will watch Spinal Tap 2 this weekend.

You guessed wrong, because they were created from the Latin language. Yet, its a dead language now. Partial proof of devolution of a language thats been fragmented.
You are idiotically wrong.
None of those languages were "created." People did not sit down at a meeting a chart out these languages with a vocabulary based in Latin. They all evolved from the base Latin in separate regions. It's why Italian, and several other Italian regional languages are so much closer to Latin than, say, Romanian.
Why aren't we still speaking Proto-Indo-European? People just keep having these meetings to make new languages out of thin air. So annoying.

I guess? He went to Spain to cover the war as a journalist and ended up fighting in said war, for socialism. Yes, he liked the idea, insomuch as it benefitted people, because he believed socialism benefitted people. Fighting in a war for it is a significant commitment. Pretty close to a marriage.

To be clear, if you think animal farm, or anything Orwell ever wrote, is pro-capitalism, you are an idiot.

If this was a mystery box style, you'd feel like an answer to your questions would eventually arrive.
It's the opposite. Those questions might have interesting answers, but, so far at least, they are not the interest of the show. You sound like you would much rather a mystery box show. You also seem to be watching and evaluating this based on what you think it should be doing, not on what it actually is doing.
And why would a multi-season show be giving you answers to a global disaster/mystery already, just 7 episodes in?
