  • If I had to nail it down to just one thing, I would say that it’s the trope of the sarcastic teenager who just makes fun of all the stuff we think is cool about the source material. The only point for a character like that is to put down the fans who are trying to like the final product and pay for tickets.

    I want a movie made by fans for fans, I don’t want a movie made by Hollywood writers who only know about a product from their third cousins son and a quick glance at Wikipedia.

    The sarcastic teenager trope happens so much, and we see writers and directors who are proud of the fact that they don’t know the source material so often; I’m so tired of it. It symbolizes a banal cash grab. Will the end product this time be a cash grab? I don’t know, but that’s what I don’t like so far drilled down into one specific thing.
