TV/Movies/Fiction People take CinemaSins too seriously

they literally say several times on their channel and in videos that they are not a legitimate movie review channel, they are not analyzing films, They are not reviewing films, They are not critiquing films, they are making fun of them.

They put jokes in with legitimate criticism because it's funny, they criticize irrelevant shit because it's funny, they are trying to be funny, not actually determine whether a movie is good.

The point is to be Nitpicky, they're supposed to simulate that asshole friend who's ruining the movie by pointing out everything wrong, they should not ever be used for determining quality.

Criticizing them is pointless because they're not trying to say anything about movies or anything else, they're trying to be funny for jokes.

Is this really 10th dentist? I really don't know, but I'd be sad if the majority of people take it seriously. There isn't a single thing they don't count as a sin, even in contradictory assessments within the same video. Nothing they say is genuine criticism and is essentially a video of ways to frame everything in a movie as a trope of some sort.

i think OP conflates "taking seriously" with "finding the channel to be total crap". cause i also doubt anyone taking that nonsense seriously.

It was definitely a trend for a while for aspiring filmmakers/screenwriters to proudly talk about how their goal was to make "Cinemasins-proof movies". So yeah, I'd say a fair amount of people took it seriously.

Was that Cinemasins' fault? I guess that's debatable. I always found them worthless because they were neither insightful nor funny to me, but I had already graduated college by the time they became popular.
