That's not really a villain song.

It's the only song the villain has though.

It is. It lays out the plans and motivation of the villain clearly, all in the style of the villain: it tricks you into thinking it's not a Villain Song.

See, you're doing that thing where you give Frozen too much credit by exacerbating the importance and 'smartness' of things that aren't important and/or smart.

It's not a villain song. Hans is the most pointless villain, so much so that he only really figures into the movie, what, by the last minutes of the third act? It's a song supposed to represent how naive and misguided Anna is. Stop trying to make it seem smarter than it is.

If the villain has one, they'll get equal billing with the hero, and will probably steal the show. If they don't, they're not very important to the plot, and nobody qualifies as the Big Bad. Villains can get other songs where they pretend to be nice, but if they don't get at least one song to strut their villainy, they're (usually) not important.

...I'm not going to continue this line of conversation. I can sense that it will lead to an argument.

Moving on, I have the slightest feeling that the Goblin pickpocket is not our vampire.

Man, that was the stupidest twist I have ever seen, probably even more stupid than Electro going evil in Amazing Spider-Man 2.

"And now he's a bad guy! Here's one line explaining why, enjoy as he suddenly follows all the evil tropes."

I'm serious, it's amazing how from that instant he just follows all the evil tropes for absolutely no reason, even though the movie wants you to believe he is a smart trickster. He's not. He gloats for absolutely no reason and he lets the hero die a slow death instead of killing the hero right there and then. That's literally what Dr. Evil did in an Austin Powers movie.

Please. Let's move the fuck on. You're point-blank insulting a movie I am fond of, using arguments that I hate. You're making it difficult for me to not try and defend it, and if I do, it will end up in an argument which will leave an underlying current of tension between all parties involved for the next several weeks.

So, please. Let's move away from this topic of conversation.

You know, if Frozen wasn't so popular, you guys wouldn't be smashing it so badly.

And it wouldn't as as fun to smash it. Like seriously, who smashes Wreck-it Ralph?

[up][up] I do. That movie has flaws. I go over the flaws of popular and non-popular movies. Being popular does not exempt you from criticism and it does not make any excessive criticism directed at you less valuable.

Seriously, GCR, if your way of dealing with people not liking the things you like is throwing it up in the air, covering your ears with your hands and going 'nanananana', you're not gonna go far.

Also, if you can't defend the things you like without going all Hulk on us or separate your argument from the people you're arguing with (do you really think a Disney movie would leave an 'underlying current of tension' for weeks?), you're also not gonna go far.

People have not seen nitpicky until they have seen gamers get nitpicky, and Wreck It Ralph got the brunt of their attention.

Well yeah, every movie had it's flaws. Frozen's rushed as hell production made sure that it had it's fair share.

Still, perhaps you could phrase things slightly nicer.

Oh and about my defense being ad homin-whatever it is. Yeah, so what. You smash one of my favorite movies and expect me to have no emotional response?

It's a argumentative fallacy though. You're supposed to address the arguments, not the people making them.

Electro didn't just go evil in amazing Spiderman 2 that's an oversimplification. Electro was already and unstable person that needed recognition and the sudden alteration of his body chemistry only worsened his already unstable state of mind. Doing bad things for attention is 100% realistic, the eel accident just fractured his mind more explaining his "insane" behavior.

Electro in the end was just someone that felt lonely and unappreciated, that was beautiful and made much more sense to me than ozai's For the Evulz attitude or animated Spider-Man electro...

Except Strat that you would consider kicking players for doing what you are doing now. If I said such things about I don't know Jojo's I'd be shut down before it went this far.

Frozen's rushed as hell production made sure that it had it's fair share.

Frozen has been in production one way or the other since the 1930's. The version you see today officially began production in 2008. No animated movie goes through a rushed as hell production. You must be referring to the fact that it was only in 2011 when the date of the movie was announced. Then that's two years- but before they announce something, the movie has to be geared into production. So Frozen has been in the works for between five and three years.

You want to compare? The Lion King, as you know it, only came into production by mid to late 1992. It got released on mid 1994. That's two years, maybe less. These things are common for animation.

Oh and about my defense being ad homin-whatever it is. Yeah, so what. You smash one of my favorite movies and expect me to have no emotional response?

Yes? How do you expect anyone to take your arguments seriously and not shove you under the same folder as rabid Tumblr fanboys?

Except Strat that you would consider kicking players for doing what you are doing now. If I said such things about I don't know Jojo's I'd be shut down before it went this far.

Do you see anyone at each other's throat? No. I wouldn't kick anyone for that.
