What makes a film "reddit"?

That worst/best/reddit whatever thread got me wondering..
Just because a film is popular and well revived automatically makes it bad, Why do we have to dump in reddit fags with them?
Half of these "reddit movies" were around way before reddit, whats the deal

Guardians = Reddit
Deadpool = Reddit
Your favorite movie = Reddit
You have an opposing opinion about a movie = Reddit
etc.

It's a grossly overrated film that's held up by plebs as one of the best because they haven't bothered to watch anything outside the IMDB top 250. Examples include Whiplash, The Dark Knight and Drive.

t. Reddit

Hello there reddit

B-but drive was awesome

Yeah it was good, but anyone saying it's one of the best movies of the decade clearly doesn't watch many movies.

pretty much because of this
just because something is entertaining or you like it, doesn't mean that it is a good movie

And this guy = Reddit incarnate

>le everything I don't like is reddit XD
>le beauty is in the eye of the beholder XD
>le tryhard NEET XD
>le jealous XD
>le it's 2017 XD
>etc...
>le Sup Forums XD
>le stop calling everything le reddit XD

So you decide to shit up the board with something that shouldn't bother you but for some reason does?

This site is full of retarded assholes and you're one of them. Enjoy the hate machine or back off to reddit with ya.

A shallow movie that appeals to the lowest common denominator (of reddit users), and their self-inflated egos. The Martian is a perfect example.

Star Wars?

If I had to make a list

>tons of quips
>tons of random references
>Mary Sue like characters
>pop song soundtrack

Yes and marvel films.
Pretty anything that college douchebags like.

>Anything popular people enjoy is Reddit REEEEE

Sup Forums has always been loved by star wars. Then the reddit faggots came here trying to tell us otherwise

Star Wars is a film franchise, user. It can't feel love.

thats not true
that's impossible

That's complete horse shit. Episode 7 brought so many fucking plebs to this board that it's now permanently ruined.

Get a load of this Redditor

Das Boot is reddit as fuck

nice bait faggot, Das Boot is most highly advanced form of kino you can find

the first two are correct. "reddit" or not, they're bad movies. OP, and you, are newfags who false-flag trying to connect the word "reddit" with popularity or the website, but it's actually just used for trash movies like those

On Sup Forums, Reddit is perceived as a bunch of naive tools who believe that being a nerd is cool. As a result, they're childishly enthusiastic about their hobbies (which they've only barely scratched the surface of), find random humor completely hilarious, and are notoriously pedantic. This is due to the fact that they believe that nerds are some kind of "cultural elite" simply because their interests aren't completely mainstream.

BUT, since they don't see themselves as particularly alienated by society, they haven't developed the pleb/patrician paradigm, unlike Sup Forums. Consequentially, they also have the prudish, politically-correct mentality that goes with the delusion that they can still be normal members of society and accepted by potentially anyone, or that they have moral standards to uphold. This makes them very prone to being shocked or amused by the cheapest transgressions and subversions.

>(DC) Patty Jenkins: I'm tired of sincerity being something we have to be afraid of doing. It's been like that for 20 years, that the entertainment and art world has shied away from sincerity, real sincerity, because they feel they have to wink at the audience because that's what the kids like.

>(FOX) Mangold: For me, what was most interesting in getting the studio to okay an R-rating was something entirely different. They suddenly let go of the expectation that this film is going to play for children, and when they let go of that, you are free in a myriad of ways. The scenes can be longer. Ideas being explored in dialogue or otherwise can be more sophisticated. Storytelling pace can be more poetic, and less built like attention-span-deficit theater

This pretty much answers what is to avoid being reddit.

If you've ever been on a main reddit board you'll know those motherfuckers really like their puns, inside jokes and referencing memorable dialogue.

Quality post

>Das Boot is most highly advanced form of kino you can find
there's a reddit opinion if ever there was one.

99.9% of the world doesnt care about it

Reddit movies are glib, childish, derivative, "easy," predicatble, universally well regarded critically, thematically/narratively simplistic, etc. Sup Forums movies are esoteric, idiosyncratic, complex and difficult, surprising, disliked by critics, etc.

Everyone who belongs on this board is listening. If you're against us you've either Sup Forums sensibilities, Sup Forums sensibilities or reddit sensibilities. None of these are compatible with the authentic "cinema as art" Sup Forums sensibilities

holy shit.

goooood post

>Sup Forums movies are esoteric, idiosyncratic, complex and difficult,

>just because something is entertaining or you like it, doesn't mean that it is a good movie
t. reddit

If you like a movie it just means it's good to you, it's all that should matter.

You've got to be a real sheep to say a movie was good if deep inside you weren't really digging it.

When other people like something you don't it's "Reddit".

Read the thread

Reddit humor:
>pushed by corporations
>safe, middle of the road, insincere, appeals to a wide variety of interest groups
>glorifies the image of the product it is pushing
>conforms to corporate and elite interests
>anti-democratic
>created by committee to sell products
>tries too hard to become a meme and in the process embed itself within the minds of consumers to sell more crap related to the franchise (the entire character of Flash)

Sup Forums humor:
>anonymous origins
>free, democratic, open source
>subverts corporate interests and intentions (Bane in TDKR used to attack the movie, not praise it)
>not created to push a product or message, but rather to amuse and humor individuals
>created for a specific group of enlightened users, not dumbed down for the masses
>memes are not forced by corporations, but rather become popular due to their innate appeal

Reddit has a certain "spirit" to it that it basically like the stereotype of a faggy beta atheist liberal who pretends to be against "SJW" but is still a commie faggot. They also like "nerd" culture and pop culture garbage. A shitty sense of humor is also very reddit.

Reddit films just have a certain style and humour in them. For example Cabin in the Woods and The Avengers are reddit films.

>le art is subjective maymay
Faget

>what makes a film reddit?

well, being liked and talked about on reddit? fucking retard

Trying too hard to appease everyone whos 30 or younger is reddit-core.

Rick and Morty is as edgy as it can get while still being reddit-approved, which ironically also makes it peak reddit. Because most redditors arent actually as reddit as they are on reddit. But they have to align themselves to the middle on the road while on reddit, making their reddit-persona more reddit.

Im fairly certain it could be possible by forcing gradually more edgy memes to make reddit less reddit.

TLDR: Individual redditors arent as reddit as they seem, but they get more reddity to appease the middle of the road reddit hivemind.

Reddit-core traits

>quips to diffuse tension
>several A-list actors
>PG13
>humor that doesnt make sense without references
>le random quirky character
>le random quirky event
>superficial criticism of "the system", government or elites (not deep enough to redpill anyone)
>violence without consequences
>black and white characters
>weed references
>objective loser characters shown as people who are living the good life

implying redditors can sit through 5+ hours of kino

Its pasta, down to the picture he used..

this is a start

Weak bait
Try again when your balls drop kiddo

liberal movies that pander to nerds and to SJWs

Reddit-core cant be too liberal, or it alienates anti-liberals. There is nothing overtly liberal about peak reddit movies like Guardians of the Galaxy or The Avengers (granted, I havent seen either because >>>capeshit)

I'm going to (You) this for greater visibility because it is objectively the correct answer.

any kino in which the Nazis are the good guys is inevitably /ourfilm/

This is very true and an accurate guide to gauging reddityness in a film.

It's amazing how readily online communities pick up specific spirits like that, isn't it? Even at an autistic micro scale we can easily identify movies that are /x/, /lit/, Sup Forums, etc.

>There is nothing overtly liberal about peak reddit movies
>I have seen neither
>A 150 lbs woman beating multiple 250 lbs men
Also
>A woman beating a man
Hahahahahahahaha

>Reddit films just have a certain style and humour in them
At the beginning of each scene, ask yourself "What would be the most hilarious and epic thing we could do in this specific individual scene?"

A reddit movie will seem written entirely according to that question.

>Rick and Morty is as edgy as it can get while still being reddit-approved, which ironically also makes it peak reddit.
I feel like Xavier: Renegade Angel is what happens when that general type of show becomes too edgy for the redd menace.

>A woman beating a man
>Hahahahahahahaha
Hey, everything has an exception!


(You know, like if they're both homosexual.)

I think the meaning of reddit is more about recurring themes, humor, etc that a lot of those types of movies just happened to fall into rather than just being overrated alone. Otherwise a reddit movie is just the same as a decent normie movie. There's a difference.

Good post user

Meme dialogue x (slow motion^cheap cgi)
--------------------------------------------------------------
character development + original cinematography^(Paul Dano)

Sounds like another board I know

This. It's like the difference between an old joke and randumb humor.

Randumb
>out of context one liners
>made to give the character themselves the appearance of wit or charisma
>once based in subtlety but now memed to the point of blatant shock value or 'le awkward' reaction
>basically DnD table "woah dude that was nuts!" humor applied to a broad audience
youtube.com/watch?v=duGqrYw4usE

Joke
>serious approach
>catches you off guard
>makes no illusion of wit but solid delivery valued
>joke is for all to enjoy

It's hard to put your finger on it but basically Reddit is like porn: you know it when you see it.

is it Reddit or is it quirkino?
youtube.com/watch?v=yc4efBM_9JM

it is on the reddit end of Subkino if only because it's been meme'd to death. Maybe even more so than the Hunt for the Red October

bump

Being popular

That goes double if it's popularity started here and then spread to reddit like Rick and Morty's

Back when Deadpool was nothing but test footage leaked by North Koreans Sup Forums was all over it like flies to shit. Deadpool literally changed filmmaking, it resurrected R rated films. What other capeshit has ever done that? Even Dark Knight Rises hasn't had an impact this major. Yet Sup Forums will still shit on it.

I'd call it the definitive proof that Sup Forums is full of retarded contrarians but this is also the board that defends BvS.

"reddit" is the "kike" of Sup Forums or the "patriarchy" of feminism.

A blanket personification of a post, which doesnt agree with the person's opinion. It removes the need for having to construct an actual argument or counter-argument.

Anything that appeals to "geek culture".

Certified Reddit movies I can think of

1. Marvel movies
2. Disney movies
3. Any movies that are mainstream
4. Has a huge reddit following
5. Movie is a blockbuster hit despite being mediocre
6. Movie is an adaptation from a book
7. Movie has the word "War" or "Wars" in its title

Someon enuke Sup Forumstards already
This is painful

Insincerity is at the core of reddit movies.
That toxic irony and pedantry that pours out of reddit like a river.

reddit red ditz vagina
Sup Forums charm bore penis
a movie is reddit', mongospecies, when i murder your mom

>TDK
>overrated

Pick one

This, it's just a Sup Forums buzzword

Spotted the redditor

>yfw the reddit meme is just Sup Forums being contrarian

All three of those are good movies that people love to hate because normies like them too. Why is this a problem?
>stop hating what i like!
more people start to enjoy good movies
>stop liking what I like!
Why is it such a problem?

If you look at /r/movies tip 250 TDK is number 4. It's overrated as fuck. If you believe it's anywhere near the top 250 greatest films of all time you need to fuck off to IMDB or reddit

But IMDB is in no way a measure of greatest films. It is a measure of the average casual movie fan's favorite films. Why do people act like they're declaring a universal truth? It literally says on the page that its a compilation of user favorites.
Are you sure it's not you who is the pleb for worrying about this?

Because they're three examples of OK movies that plebs love to circlejerk ad nauseum as if they're masterpieces. Typically on Sup Forums a board keeps people with shit taste who are unwilling to develop said taste away by shitting on them for their pedestrian views of whatever hobby the board pertains to. Unfortunately this elitism is sorely lacking on Sup Forums, so the board is filled with normies who want to discuss capeshit, star wars and the IMDB top 250 ten fucking times a day. It's sad that I have to explain this to redditors like you.

I'm not acting like they're declaring a universal truth user. That's why I'm saying TDK is overrated by plebs who don't watch anything else. I and many other people on Sup Forums don't want the board filled with people who don't bother to stray out of their comfort zone and continue to discuss the same popular movies over and over again at a basic surface level. Hence why I told you to fuck off to reddit or IMDB.

>Deadpool
>bad movie

You can dislike it but it is objectively a good movie.

No it isn't. Half of the jokes fall completely flat and despite making fun of nearly every superhero formula/trope, it ends up doing most - if not all - of them itself. Not to mention quite possibly the most uninteresting and dull antagonist of all time.

Because people in general are huge fags.

Everybody wants to be cool, and cool means being a rebel, which means liking things most people don't like and disliking things most people like. And the vast majority of people are just followers in general, so when something becomes cool to either like or hate on, everybody jumps on the bandwagon because they want to feel included. Of course, this creates a cycle where once too many people start liking certain things, the "coolfags" start disliking those things even though they used to like them.

Think about it. If a movie like Deadpool or Guardians of the Galaxy had come out in the 90s, all of the people who talk shit about them would have been losing their fucking minds praising them, because at the time there wasn't an oversaturation of superhero films. But now there is, so it has become cool to hate on them.

>Half of the jokes fall completely flat
The overwhelming majority of people who saw it disagree with you. Apparently you just have a terrible sense of humor.

>despite making fun of nearly every superhero formula/trope, it ends up doing most - if not all - of them itself.
>missing the point this badly

>Not to mention quite possibly the most uninteresting and dull antagonist of all time.
I'll give you that one, but it doesn't ruin the entire movie. They make it work anyway.

>>missing the point this badly
Ok, what's the point?

If it has lots of manufactured quips and one-liners that are made to become normie memes and get printed on t-shirts

Reddit seems to lack a sense of self-awareness that Sup Forums has

Deadpool is a shit movie
It isn't even good within the scope of Reddit movies

None of it is funny, it's either just "lmao, so random" or some shit one liner

>wow so epic
What a fucking terrible piece of shit garbage movie

Thank god i watched it on a plane when I had nothing else to do

Appealing to the obsolete lowest common denominator.

this fucking whole thread is so reddit

>my opinion is fact

For the record I agree with him

Well, well, well, if it isnt reddit

It was self-aware. Obviously it was going to commit all the superhero movie cliches because it IS a superhero movie, but it's purposefully "meta"

You can dislike that about it as well if you want (which I'm sure you will since you're such a badass edgelord), but they very clearly did it on purpose. I don't see how you could not understand that.

>I hate X because the general population enjoys X

cool bruh

It's anything that I don't like.

>It was self-aware
Yes I know. The movie itself acknowledging that it's formulaic and lazily written with awkward fourth-wall breaking jokes does not somehow excuse the fact that it's just formulaic and lazily written as every other film in the genre.

>humor that doesnt make sense without references

The Dark Knight is a masterpiece though, objectively the only good movie in the Nolan trilogy.

capeshit is almost universally reddit (with a few exceptions that stand up as movies on their own like TDK) because there's nothing reddit loves more than signalling about how le awesome le nerdy and le smart they are xD for liking comic books and other le geeky xd stuff
