Rules: explain why

Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

    I haven’t seen anyone saying they think Jack and Sally have a good relationship other than just enjoying the general aesthetics of it.

      Most of the junk for it push the Jack/Sally ship, there is so much fan art of it, it’s rather insane.

        Yeah, but I don’t see many people saying they want “what they have” sort of thing.
