Hm on reflection I agree. It's weird how critics don't seem to notice the disparity. Like giving good grades to super cliche bull**** like the Black Panther. Solid 3/10 at best, yet rave reviews. Puzzling.

In before SJW/PC comments.

3/10 is amazing for a comic book movie, most are stone cold one or deep negative (deadpool)

Also congrats on the daughter omggg the feeellss HF all growing up now.

I like them. All of them, actually (some better than others, obv). Infinity War was fantastic imo.

My sole goal when going to the movies is to be entertained. I don't need some deeper metaphorical reasoning in all my shows. Sometimes I want to laugh, sometimes I want to see **** blown up, sometimes I want to see superheroes do cool stuff, etc... And sometimes I get all that in one movie and boom, I'm entertained by it.

I find it more weird that people take a someone's completely subjective opinion (and in this case a contrarian one based on critics), and then call that weird.

I was pretty bored during Infinity War.

Thor was alright, better than most of them. I especially liked Jeff Goldbloom. My favorite by far is still the original Guardians, it was just nonstop fun. I have no problem turning my brain off for these, but still they sometimes just don't deliver.

So a bunch of movies with universal acclaim get **** on by a dude who reads genre fiction as his primary form of entertainment. Wonderful.

Deadpool was non stop hilarious imo. Different strokes.

Black Panther was distinctly average. Not bad. But it's rated as essentially the best Marvel movie of all time for some reason when it's probably not top 5, maybe not top 10.

Big budget movies jumped the shark with Avatar.

I could be swayed to something earlier, but that's at first blush.

GOT's the Mountain takes down world's strongest man, Europe's strongest man, and the arnold classic strongman all in the same year.

True mass monster, none of this G4S tinybro 250lb barely presses bodyweight bullshiet. We talking 400lb mass monster.

Here he takes G4S PR 285lb press and hurls it with one arm

What did you start doing differently? What did you start doing in the gym to get bigger?
“It’s not just all about the training. It’s all around: You have to train well, sleep well, eat well. If you don’t eat, you don’t grow. The biggest changes were that I didn’t do much cardio anymore, and I put more food into my diet. It’s just like constantly work for me: I have to eat every two hours to maintain my body mass. It is not easy. When I’m filming, I always have to have breaks to eat.”

He bulked from 230lbs to 400lbs. Apparently you have to train big, eat big, and sleep big.

The key being breakfast, were true champions are born.

But there is a reason that I chose the more athletic route of Highland Games vs. the more static Strongman. I did well in strongman, but understood that I was never going to be 6'6"+, I was never going to be 350lbs+, so my success there would be limited and would only continue to get more limited as larger and larger humans emerged.

Any normal height male human can be 250-300lbs with decent lifts, not everyone can be 400lbs and pull a grand. Just the way it is. I stayed in my lane.

grunching, maybe relevant

my squats have improved quite a bit since i started doing random stuff during the day to mobilize my shoulders on squat day, just swinging arms every way, broom dislocations trying to move hands closer gradually, holding the broom into the bar position and getting tight etc
