Dude, this guy is one of the most accomplished and intelligent critics in the world. Where do you get off? I enjoyed the movie, but there isn’t a thing written here that I take issue with and isn’t well-reasoned and eloquently articulated.

Yeah, seconded. Saying what Brody wrote is "stupid," is just exhibiting the same exact quality of blind dismissal that you're accusing the piece of doing... Not to get reflexive, but come on with that.

I personally believe that the comment in the tweet is stupid. I’m not saying the review is stupid or the publication is stupid or the writer is stupid.

True doesn’t mean it also can’t be a stupid criticism. Also, it honestly doesn’t seem the obstacle is stopping people from understanding or liking the film. Seems like a weak criticism at best.

I will say this, blame should probably go to the social media manager who picked this quote for the tweet, not the writer. I’m sure it probably works fine within his piece but as a focal point it’s stupid.

It. Is. Not. Stupid. It is absolutely fair thing to say as a popular moviegoer. While being so deep the marvel machine it is so easy to see how these movies are anomalies in the way they dramatically operate, even from other long running stories with prior context.

To. Me. It. Is. Stupid. I’d love to hear from any other moviegoers who were bothered by the lack of character introductions. Anyone? Bueller? Hello? Oh right ;)

The problem is everyone is misunderstanding what "introductions" actually means. He's talking about the functionalism of basic dramatic characterization, not halting it with expository lameness.

But... I definitely wasn’t misunderstanding this.

How would you know? You intimated that you hadn't even read it.
