Storytelling in film has
always relied partially on factors outside of the plot/script alone, including dialogue and all of the aesthetic nuances that influence it. You're certainly entitled to post your feelings on the premise or certain ideas conveyed in the film, but you cannot
thoroughly analyze it without fully experiencing the film itself and its components. This is basic knowledge, and it's exactly why every movie critic worth their salt has NEVER written a comprehensive review without actually watching its subject matter first.
You can argue and justify and defend this sort of bashing all you'd like, but until you've actually seen it, expecting anyone to take your assessment of the movie as a whole seriously is an unreasonable demand.
Most people who've read the entire story line will not be swayed by pretty animation and predictable interactions. When you read the entire plot, you know everything relevant that will happen.
Don't like Freeza coming back? Don't like him getting strong in 4 month? Don't like our other heroes dealing with scrubs? Don't like Goku getting the final blow? Don't like Goku and Vegeta much? Don't like Freeza? Don't like Bluper Saiyan? Don't like Deus Ex Whis? Well then watching the movie won't change shit cause that all happens. If the premise and the story from simply reading isn't going to interest you, then the story won't change on screen. If someone knows the entire plot of GT but hasn't seen it all, then of course they can say what they want. If the concepts are stupid and the plot is uninteresting from just reading about it, watching it won't change someone's mind.
Even after people see it and have full knowledge, the fucking excuse will be "Well you're just too lazy to come up with an excuse to cover the asses of the writers". I've seen this shit before. That's exactly what people do all the damn time especially with video games they like. It's a defensive mechanism to block out any and all problems and encourage more to follow. The whole "You didn't see it so shut up" is an excuse to shut people up from having a problem with something you like. It's a piss poor excuse overall which will be substituted with another piss poor excuse even after everyone has seen it. That's the blind tool consumer excuse. It's been used for Battle of Gods which some people love or really hate. When people act no different then the Boom fanboys who said the same shit before that came out, and used similar excuses afterwards, I really fear for the Dragon Ball community. I fear it's a landscape of people who will buy into anything so long as Dragon Ball is in it. Even stuff such as Minus which left a seemingly negative impression, but people will still buy into it anyways cause it's Dragon Ball.
This is exactly what happened after Battle of Gods. We saw it, we issued our problems, and these were the responses we got after seeing the movie ourselves. There was some people not liking how Beerus supposedly had Freeza destroy Planet Vegeta (herms said it was iffy the wording on this). There was some people not liking things being to relaxed with not enough fighting. Some people didn't like Pilaf. Some were creeped out by Mai X Trunks. Some didn't like Gotenks not going SSJ3. Some didn't like Vegeta's rage boost. Some didn't like SSJ God period. Some didn't like the fighting animation, etc. What happened? They were harped on just cause they didn't like some things. Some stuff was dumb or not explained, but too bad cause it's Dragon Ball and you have to like Battle of Gods. I for one did like Battle of Gods, but I still had a lot of problems. Most of which seemed berated cause Battle of Gods is "Awesome". Toriyama wrote the script and there's nothing wrong, yadda yadda yadda.
