I think your point at large is fine but having a movie made with an focus ona group of three male friends is fine and probaly made it the better movie.
Why do you think it made the movie "better" by having all the protagonist be male? How would the movie have been inferior by having a predominantly female cast?
Because the writer is probably male and therfore I would imagine he could write men better. Also prehaps this betrays me as some type of sexist monster but when someone says "teenagers dicking around with a video camera" I get the mental image of them being boys. Just from my personnal experience, I dunno, the presmise of a bunch of girls videotaping everything and then getting superpowers seems more outlandish,
I know the whole thing is obviously fantasy, but I find it harder to find a group of girls reacting like that compared to a group of boys. Not sayin you couldn't make a movie about girls getting superpowers but I struggle to imagine it playing out like the writer intended.
I think for me it's like the artistic intent or vision, like if it was intended to be girls then it would be good or if it was intended to be all boys that's fine.
I don't mean to offend you either way.
It wasn't instant, it was after he repeatedly insult Bob for how he deals with his problem. That is bullying.
Secondly he said "he expects me to take his word seriously. It's not going to happen." this reads as him not liking Bob's reviews.
That doesn't strike me as bullying, maybe I'm biased because I tend to think Bob is the type of guy who engages in bad mouthing other people, Bay is a douchbag who makes movies for douchbags, but really it's a couple of posts.
Aye. that is more dubious. Personnally I tend to read as someone more disapointed in trends of Bob's reviewing.

That would no doubt earn me the tittle of villain in the eyes of the general public... until I won and wrote my own version of the events that is.

Except how could you win? You have no legitimacy at all. If you were to give me an order i would tell you to fuck off, if you were to enforce it with threat of death I would attempt to organise a group to resit and kill you and if that were to fail I would wait to you died.
Do people really get this mad when bob talks about his personal life. By the way he really didn't say anything besides he roots for the villain at the end of the show. And from the two maybe three episodes that he's mentioned his distain from bully's. I haven't seen him mention it much if at all for months. And really if we judge people we don't know it is in fact the same thing as being a bully. OT: not sure I will like this movie, I might see it with friends next week, or wait and rent it when it comes out.
Get's this mad when he talks about? You see it's so often unnessary and forced in and often I feel it lessens his review where he makes it all about his viewpoint on the world and less about the film's view point and if it's skilled in presenting it.
It's not just disdain, it seems Bob has a set of people who are bullies i.e right wing, sceince hating, white male, religious people compared to Bob's idealised version of his weird left wing group, weird in that it seems to be so inconsistent. Like whenever he talks about politics this percieved bi-polar fight seems to be how he characterises it, which is unhelpful as if you are going to tlak about anything you have to recognsie that there msut be some reason why people disagree with you, especially if they do it in large numbers.
Saying judging him is bullying is silly. Bob judges people all the time i.e the transformers thing, so he doesn't have a strong position there. Besides part of being human is social interaction, and part of that is that everything you do from kissing that girl, to saying that comment has a consequences and alters how you are percieved.
