@makhaiI'm not disagreeing on Mass Consensus hating it. I agree that is a FACT. A.K.A. What I said Mass Opinion.
I have read the "arguments" on both sides. He said you're coming off as who follows mass consensus and enjoys only what other people say is good. That isn't an attack on you just an observation. If you truly argued against that and mentioned something people disliked that you liked then that would be a point of his argument he lost.
And wow did you just attack me? Ad Hominem to me I guess. Accusing someone of sock puppeting is a serious thing. God forbid I actually have an opinion and respect people for having one as well.
I will do what you didn't do for me, instead of attacking you I will say this. If you can show me the attacks on yourself then I will admit wrong in that area. When I read through the first time I might have missed it. I am not above admitting wrong, I have done so in the past and will do so again in the future.
Okay the Ad Hominem points can be seen in posts 68 and 81. In 68 "Critics hate it, the vast majority of viewers hate it, my close friends that have opinions far more rational and logical than yours will ever grow to be also hated it." That is a perfect example of an Ad Hominem. You attacked his rationality and his ability to use logic.
Your counters haven't really been counters just going in a circle. For example he said you seem to be someone who only goes off mass consensus. You never not even once addressed this saying you use it as a barometer. As someone who does something similar myself and have avoided some really horrible movies from it because of trusted opinions from people who like what I like, I can still name movies that are despised that I love. Spider-Man 3 springs to mind for me.
Fact is he just says to watch the movie with an open mind something I don't mind doing. I judge things off my own judgments not on others' enjoyment of it. This is his opinion let him have it. He says he enjoyed it. Let him enjoy it instead of attacking him for having a "wrong opinion". There is no such thing. You can argue the merits of the movie the pros and cons. This is fair. Then at the end of the day agree to disagree. This is opinions. I dislike Guardians of the Galaxy and love Amazing Spider-Man 2 I will agree to disagree with anyone on those movies or indeed on any entertainment medium.
BTW I have never met this person before. This is something I would do for any person I meet be they him or some other user on the sight. I'd rather discuss the pros and cons of the movie instead of attacking it because of mass consensus. Mention reasons from within the movie to actually judge it. That is a good way to start a healthy debate. Recognize what you like and dislike and go from there.
