-> So the villain in [[Film/TheAvengers2012 the first]] ''Avengers'' movie hinged his whole plan on ''"Pft! Putting all these different superheroes together on a team? That's a dumb idea that won't work!"'' And then the villain in [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron the second]] ''Avengers'' movie was all about ''"Superheroes are dumb, and would cause more problems than they'd solve!"'' And now the villain in [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar the third]] ''Avengers'' movie--featuring the most Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse characters ever assembled in one project--is a guy whose whole deal turns out to be ''"I think there's too many people in this damn universe!"'' I see you, [[Creator/MarvelStudios Marvel]]...

->''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' has been read by many people since it finally appeared in print; and I should like to say something here with reference to the many opinions or guesses that I have received or have read concerning the motives and meaning of the tale. The prime motive was the desire of a tale-teller to try his hand at a really long story that would hold the attention of readers, amuse them, delight them, and at times maybe excite them or deeply move them. [[AuthorAppeal As a guide I had only my own feelings for what is appealing or moving]], and for many the guide was inevitably often at fault. Some who have read the book, [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch or at any rate have reviewed it]], have found it boring, absurd, or contemptible; and I have no cause to complain, since I have similar opinions of their works, or of the kinds of writing that they evidently prefer. But even from the points of view of many who have enjoyed my story there is much that fails to please. It is perhaps not possible in a long tale to please everybody at all points, nor to displease everybody at the same points; for I find from the letters that I have received that [[BrokenBase passages or chapters that are to some a blemish are all by others specially approved]]. The most critical reader of all, [[SelfDeprecation myself]], now finds many defects, minor and major, but being fortunately under no obligation either to review the book or to write it again, he will pass over these in silence, except one that has been noted by others: [[DoorStopper the book is too short]].

Take That Critics is about a franchise snapping back at *their* critics, not about viewing critics negatively in general.


->''A 'critic' is a man who creates nothing and thereby feels qualified to judge the work of creative men. There is logic in this; he is unbiased - he hates all creative people equally.''

->Welcome to the mountaintop, where we make the bodies drop\\
Naughty boys and girls get chopped up into diamonds, open shop\\
Copped a decent crop of follows, all those asking me "how?"\\
They spot the name, the fame, start shaming, raising their brows\\
All like "Easy for you to say, Little Miss Company Hire"\\
As if these moves did not take heartache and these tracks are not fire!\\
As if this back did not break over and over? I near expired!\\
As if a million skeletons hit that "Subscribe" for satire!

-> Like, for instance, if you're watching a TV show and you decide to take your values from that, you're an idiot. Maybe you should take responsibility for what values your kids are getting. Maybe you shouldn't be letting your kids watch certain shows in the first place if you have such a big problem with them, instead of blaming the shows themselves. (''[[AsideGlance looks at the viewer]]'') Yeah.
