Sustaining Stupidity - Why CinemaSins is Terrible

People who go around saying "I'm, an asshole", oddly tend to get really upset when you start treating them that way.

Last time I watched a CinemaSins vid, they weren’t even critiquing the story They were telling what just happened on screen with a snarky tone and counted that as a sin

When I'm wrong, I'm being satirist. When I'm right, I'm being a critic. When I'm stupid, I'm being an asshole. When I'm funny, I'm being a comedian. Nice to be able to tie that off so cleanly.

“In 2015 Disney announced a live action Winnie the Pooh, this angered Jeremy and he uploaded a video…” The most hilarious line ever spoken

"If you have to keep explaining that your work is satire, you made really bad satire”

CinemaSins is the ultimate Schrödinger’s Joke: it’s a joke if you disagree with their points; it’s a valid review if you agree with them.

i watched cinema sins as a kid and good lord im shocked my family didn’t actually kick me out cause id just regurgitate their “points” and ask pointless questions during movies and shows that were obviously going to be revealed later or were purposefully mysteries

"The Onion could never be mistaken for actual news." That is an unfortunately, horribly aged statement.

Ratatouille, of all movies, had a good little speech that really applies to Cinema Sins: “In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.

Y’know I must admit, for all the vitriol and bile that Cinemasins has created, they did lead to Cinemawins, a wonderfully optimistic channel that praises aspects of a film with the motto “Every film is someone’s favourite, let’s find out why”

22:50 "Unnecessarily donated to charity" is the most god-awful, morally bankrupt, and straight up the stupidest thing i think I've heard this week.

If fanfiction has taught me anything, it’s that clichés are good. They have to be utilised well, but they’re good. Because, sometimes, life is “cliché.” Having clichés just makes a story fun because it’s an opportunity for the creators to play with clichés in different ways.

the fact that jeremy, a grown man, went on a crazed tangent about how society is going to become “like idiocracy” and art is on the decline and being “dumbed down” because of checks notes .... a Winnie the Pooh film adaptation.... you can’t get any more pretentious than this, folks

You know those kids who used to say "I meant to do that" every time they made a mistake back in elementary school? Well, that’s Cinemasins in a nutshell.

I love how Jeremy's legacy is having his own format turned against him, the endless cycle of cynicism continues to turn.

The cinema sins "we say wrong things on porpuse" seems like a case of the Schrödinger douchebag, where someone says something and the they say it was a joke depending on how others respond to it. Like "tomatos aren't fruits", to which someone replies "yes, they are" and they say "oh, we were joking.".

“If you pretend to be stupid for long enough, you just look stupid.” this line was golden and soo true

I've noticed they frequently give sins for plot holes that aren't plot holes or things that were actually done correctly. For example, they gave a sin for fish people not spitting out air when startled underwater. Which...they have gills. Why would they spit bubbles? I know fish sometimes do release bubbles, but that's usually when they're adjusting their buoyancy by releasing air from their swim bladders, not when they're spitting out food. And I know this is a random and overly specific example, it's just that it frustrated me because the animators had actually animated everything correctly right there.

I find the notion of someone not watching Get Out due to a Cinemasins video deeply disturbing

I used to really love CinemaSins, back when their jokes were funny to me, when I was twelve
