>In the short, Miles Morales struggles to balance his responsibilities as a teenager, friend and student while acting as Brooklyn’s friendly neighborhood superhero. After a particularly challenging day living with these pressures, Miles experiences a panic attack that forces him to confront the manifestations of his anxiety and learn that reaching out for help can be just as brave an act as protecting his city from evil.

Probably not but I love the idea!

Redditors: Nothing new and creative is made anymore, it's all established IP. The film industry is ruined because of Disney/Marvel/DC/whatever brand.

Also redditors: Oh a director made an original film? I don't know who any of those characters are and it isn't rooted in something I already know. Therefore, I'm scared to pay money to see it.

“What happened to this actor/why aren’t they in anything anymore?” and 75-80% of the time OP clearly hasn’t bothered to check IMDB because the actor in question has actually done a lot of indie/foreign/TV/stage/etc. stuff in the years since OP last saw them in something.

>Movie that makes me feel uncomfortable but there's actually nothing wrong with it: problematic.

Building off of this one; movies where the protagonist is a terrible person or amoral character are problematic because they're "praising terrible behavior".

Like, no, the whole point of a movie with terrible person as the protagonist is to explore how being a bad person will eventually cause you ruin in the end.

Your first point is just a Lucky Ten Thousand problem… you’re never gonna run out of people discovering things for the first time, or people wanting to share this thing they just learned with others. That’s just people learning.

Replace Big Trouble with anything else, literally any other topic, and somewhere there will be someone moaning about how tired they are of hearing about a detail that is familiar to them, but not to others. Oh god, yes, everyone knows that the infinite tessellation of non-Euclidean space is a hyperbolic honeycomb, so sick of hearing about it.

I think the whole unpopular opinion thing has become a way for people to get people to talk about a topic that they want to talk about without saying “I just saw movie XYZ and thought it was great, lets talk about it in this thread”, which I guess would be kind of weird. Like whenever I search this sub for some 30 year old movie I just watched, only upvoted ones with discussion are either “X movie is amazing, Y was so good playing that character” or “Z movie is criminally underrated. How is no one talking about it?”.
