It's not cinema, it's user retention

Because I work in a nerd-adjacent field, I’ve been asked a lot over the last few weeks whether I was going to go and see Thunderbolts, and every time I’m asked I give the same answer: lol absolutely not.

    I’ve been asked a lot over the last few weeks whether I was going to go and see Thunderbolts, and every time I’m asked I give the same answer: lol absolutely not.

    I’m all for reading a whole piece before casting any judgement on the author or content, but when your opening line comes off as snotty, sarcastic sixteen year old who’s way too cool to watch a comic book film, it’s hard to give them a fair shake.

      Yeah the way this was written is so off-putting. I generally agree with the sentiment and found the main points interesting but god what a repulsive writing style. I get that modern written articles are more casual and blog-like these days but damn, how did even the editors think this was ok?
