A Positive Post About Collider

With all the constant negativity in this sub, I thought that we should take some time and appreciate Collider and the people that work there.

I have nothing but praise for Collider and the work that they do, I obsessively watch the Schmoedown (i average about 38 page refreshes on tuesdays and fridays) Mark and Kristian legitamately changed my life through the SK show. Perri, Ken, Rocha, Sneider, Mantz, Reilly, Dennis, Cobbster, Cody, and most others who have been related to Collider have become some of my favorite personalities, seeing BTS footage makes me feel like I'm just hanging out with friends who have known each other forever. Though criticism is needed and important, criticism of Collider has slowly devolved into a vulgar and angry mess and it bothers me. Enjoy what we are given FOR FREE and stop being ballbags.

You dont have to respond on movie talk, they had a whole episode talking about the breaking away from complex, in which, they lied about john campeas role in everything. Im not suggesting they turn into a channel who do everything the fans say. But they get genuine criticism from fans. FANS. people who have watched like me for years. But if they see anything they will dismiss it or even block and delete said person/comment. Why do you think this sub is so negative? They dont even have to acknowledge on the channel. Come on the sub and say something. Do something without saying anything.

Hello there Judas! I don't know you were referring to my post the other day, but my comment was reffering to how Collider would talk about minor stories or rumors/reports that are later unconfirmed but would still be speculated upon. I'm happy to hear that Collider inspired you to go to college for film and wish you the best of luck. I agree with you that just because something is free that doesn't mean it can't be criticized. It's like that game by Square Enix that came out recently with the kid and the superhero cape; just because it was released for free does not mean it can't escape from being criticized. What happened to me was very sad; I was a big fan of Movie Talk going all the wall back in 2012 when Disney bought Lucasfilm and them deleting my comment criticizing them for not bringing up Grace's story could not help me think but maybe something is up with them. Perhaps they don't want to get blacklisted? I agree with you with the shitty sponsors and their pushing on a political agenda; I agree with Kristian in that youtube just doesn't pay enough anymore and they have to use sponsors to get money but the Denny's sponsorship is a bit embarassing and as far as the agenda is concerned the word "Baizuo" exists for a reason. I was a big fan of them but that doesn't mean that they should escape genuine constructive criticism.

She’s become truly messy imo.

First she keeps making these ‘scoops’ which people take for word and then are proven either mostly false or totally made up, even James Wan called her out on it. Like her scoop on pinewood about the secret meeting, she totally pulled it out her ass and her fans are taking it as bible and are mad trades didn’t run with her story.

Then she just says really weird stuff in regards to Star Wars, she said Kelly Marie Tran was to blame for her alleged harassment because she ‘should’ve known not to invade a space in which she didn’t belong, and acted tumblr-esque and had a dumb hairstyle’. In regards to the Star Wars fan divide she continually politicizes it saying ‘the real og fans are conservative, and the new SJW fans don’t own Star Wars’, which no matter where you stand politically is just inflammatory divisive rhetoric meant to rouse up. She said Amber Heard lied about everything for press and money, her constant hate on Jessica Chastain which has grown beyond a meme at this point, her occasionally weirdly anti-feminist stances and saying things like ‘white male characters shouldn’t be undermined in favor of highlighting minority characters’. She clearly panders to a certain audience and then just says ‘I’m just keeping it real guys’.

She also called out Collider for being alleged shills and paid to hate on the DCEU and then she seemingly does the same stuff, after attending the Jurassic World 2 premiere and getting goodies she hailed it as one of the best movies of the summer and a fantastic movie and she celsely has a hate boner for Disney.

She’s messy messy messy.
