I'm pretty sure Super has gone beyond the shallowness of Michael Bay

Yeah, looking forward to Roid Rage Jiren next episode as well.

Like, this fight wasn't super amazing animation quality wise but it was pretty good.

Also, I disagree. DBS is at least watchable. You can tell what's going on.

[up][up]I can say the same thing for Michael Bay's shit

It's shit, but it's not hard to follow and tell what's going on

I can follow what's going on. It's just that what's going on is a mess. Seeing two sentient junkyards wrestle each other with several explosions happening simultaneously does cause one to try their hardest to look away or think happy thoughts, so not following what's going on is understandable.

Looking at different websites, seeing different peoples reactions, and looking at how people view things, I wonder...

Is ignorance actually bliss, is intelligence a curse?

I would strongly advise stopping right then and there with that because that is dangerously close to saying that everyone who disagrees with you is an idiot.

Oh no, I'm not saying that, that would be stupid. It's just an observation, I see people here, on reddit, on 4chan, and other forums say that the episode was a mess of production, which I do agree on from a technical standpoint. Then I see friends on discord, facebook and people on youtube all get hyped up and excited watching the episode, which I also agree on, I too was pretty hyped.

I just feel like there's some sort of threshold that I'm picking up on, but not understanding the division.

I think it's a balance of your critical brain pointing out things that from a storytelling or animation standpoint aren't the best, but also letting your uncritical brain enjoy the cool-ass fighting, dialogue, and explosions. It's not a matter of being ignorant vs intelligent, it's just a matter of letting yourself enjoy something vs picking at what's wrong in that thing.

I enjoyed the absolute hell out of this episode because it was cool and the fighting was awesome, but reusing the Kafla Kamehameha's animation was lazy and I didn't like that.

I really noticed the reused animation & that made it harder to enjoy stuff till something actually original shows up.

When you open your mind to greater critical thought this happens to you.

[up] Yeah sure lets go with that.

Man, wasn't it so cool when Goku's aura became a galaxy?! Or when he destroyed Jiren's ultimate attack with a flick of the wrist?!

People can enjoy what they want and have preferences but I don't think deliberately tuning out your own criticisms says anything good about a work.

...

I hate the Transformers movies (with the first one being the one I hate the least) far more than I'll ever hate Super (because I love Transformers, and Bay has been a curse on them, though he's probably also the reason they started making new shows, so he's been an unintentional blessing as well).

And while I'm disappointed in Super, I don't hate it. It's all about execution.

[up][up][up] And that's when I started liking the episode.

When original shit started happening.

So yes it was way cool. [tup] [awesome]

And if you could double your enjoyment by satisfy both parts of your brain, that would be better.
