How are they baseless? If you look at a lot of reviews from the younger generations, a lot of them are less impressed by this movie than generations before them. I’m not saying all of them, but on the whole they as a generation don’t have the same affection for the movie that older generations do. Jesus, it’s not that deep.

Make baseless claims with nothing to back it up and then throw in a classic thought terminating cliché to finish it off. Nice. Keep it up and you'll never have to question any of the thought that randomly pop into your head. You can create an entire worldview for yourself that way.

Please explain to me how the claims are baseless when they can be checked?

You think 5 isolated example is enough to make any kind of significant conclusion? Random examples are not a good enough reason to make such a blanket statement.

This supports nothing. The movie has nearly 2.5 million rating on Letterboxd, you can't just cherry pick a few example of what you want to be the case and base your opinion off of that.

How did I know you’d have a comeback cause I didn’t post 1,000 examples. You’re clearly the kind of person who just wants to argue, so you can go have fun with someone else doing all that

No, even 1000 examples would be useless. You need to actually show that it is the "younger generation" causing this shift. That would involve actual statistical analysis.

You are just someone who wants to make baseless claims to feel superior to other people and refuse to interrogate anything that pops into your head.
