Please remember, if you are ever tempted to take Bob's criticism even remotely seriously, that he considers The Dark Knight Rises to be a worse film than Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.
The Dark Knight Rises. might not be as good as The Dark Knight, but is miles better than than Batman Forever and Batman & Robin.

That alone should speak volumes about Bob’s taste in film.

That's because Bob is...

Gee, it's not like Robin Williams made a joke about divorce being the equivalent of ripping a man's testicles out through his wallet for nothing.

What's with his obsession of linking Predator culture to human culture as much as possible? Can he not conceive of a fictional alien race with norms and custom completely different from our own?

So let me get this straight, he's saying that this:


is a better adaptation of an iconic character than this:

 
He thinks people haven't heard the phrase "subverting your expectations" before? What does that even mean? Those are extremely common words so I don't know how he thinks "You thought one thing was going to happen....BUT IT DIDN'T" is somehow groundbreaking and incomprehensible to people who aren't himself.

This is one of the reasons he's a clown.

Why do I follow this thread? Why is Bob like that piece of corn stuck between my teeth?

"B-B-But the 60s series is the most enduring version of Batman! Heath Ledger introduced himself just like Cesar Romero!"

He thinks the only reason people hate Batman & Robin is because of gay panic along with his tastes skewing towards campiness (re: his take on Craig-era James Bond). Again, people can't just disagree with him, they have to somehow be shitlords too.

P.S. I'm also considering this part of my "Bob is gay" argument.
What if Predators are Care Bears?
"It's a Care-a-Lot thing."

I'm gonna kinda sorta disagree with you here. Subversion done properly is more "giving you something you didn't know you wanted instead of what you expected." I know she's been mentioned ad nauseum in this thread, but Kreia is how this is done right in a Star Wars property. Star Wars is usually very black and white (hell, it's even called "the dark side" and "the light side," just in case you were confused about who you're supposed to be rooting for) and Kreia is set up as the wise old mentor. Turns out that instead of being a benevolent teacher in the vein of Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, or Yoda, she's this weird devil's advocate and, ultimately, the big bad. "You thought one thing was going to happen... BUT IT DIDN'T," is missing an element, namely "what happens instead." This is one of the reason TLJ gets so much deserved stick: nothing happened instead, they just took all the set-up from TFA, kicked it out the airlock, and made fun of you for caring.
 
Bob doesn't seem to understand what a twist is. Sure Nolan made the characters slightly more realistic but they are ultimately the same characters they were before. Joker is still a genius mastermind, Harvey Dent still uses a coin flip to make decisions, they not anticlimactically killed midway through the movie.
I think post modernism has rotted his brain. He can't figure out why people would like slight changes over massive twists that make the story less instresting.
Also way to imply that only men liked the dark knight Bobbo. All those swarms of Joker fan girls must have been an illusion huh?

His Batman thing is kinda weird since he's clearly talking from a modern point of view. Keep in mind that while it did have influences on the source material and later cartoon incarnations, the campiness of Adam West was just following the established tone of over a decade of silver age Batman comics which still had staying power with casuals at the time. This is also a few years into the debut of some Marvelous competitors who were gaining on DC's market share as they were willing to push the envelope. The camp was already on its way out as the 60s show started airing.

Basically his premise only works if you imagine some world where Adam West and the Superfriends were literally the only media Batman appeared in until the 90s. This is especially bad as Bob has claimed to own 70s Batman comics so he should know that era isn't just the West show in print.
 
I wonder, does Bob have any kind of inner voice? Or does he spend every waking moment tweeting or parroting everything that comes into his brain? I mean, I do a lot of stream of consciousness stuff in my head, but I have a filter. When I'm around normies, I think before I blurt out whatever pop culture observation pops into my mind. I realize a lot of what I would like to say would sound weird or require a few minutes of conversation to set up. But Bob...I just think he says whatever he thinks. Everything he says sounds like Mad Libs:

"Hey, what if (obscure piece of pop culture media) were reimagined as a (reality show/ space opera/ allegory for modern politics)"? "What if that one character from (old video game/ old 80's cartoon/ old movie) was actually secretly (the villain all along/ a stand-in for LGBTQ people)?"



Someone out there should create a MovieBob paragraph generator that would create a review or essay out of random Bob snippets. Include references to Mario and the Superior Future and whatever other SJW gobbledygook Bob spews on a regular basis. I bet it would be hard to tell it from the real thing.

"Hey, what if The English Patient were reimagined as a space opera that served as a political allegory of U.S. politics in the Trump era"?


"What if Ennis from Brokeback Mountain was actually secretly a metaphor for mediocre white men ashamed that they not as talented as undocumented immigrants?"

Not the best, but this is what I got.
 
It's funny how Moviebob loves the race lifts on pre-established white characters, when in Game Overthinker 23, he said doing so subtly implies that non-whites can't do things until white people do them. The points about Moviebob needing to re-watch his old videos and re-read his old articles because they are great counter-arguments to his current work are spot-on.
