Top 10 Easiest Ways to Make a Movie Overrated

The Top Ten
1 For superhero movies, send your audience into a complete stupor of disbelief by having the main hero be something OTHER than white male for once

I know I already have much lower choices on this list to vote for to be higher on this list, but people should not have a negative opinion on diversity, female empowerment (and empowerment in general) or different races than white. Maybe I was missing the point and you people actually honor these kinds of people who stand for that. Maybe not. But even I am aware of when things get SJW-pandering, like in Beauty and the Beast (2017) from the same director that gave us Teitard (I mean both the franchise and its whiny, edgy fandom of anti-egalitarianists).

With Wonder Woman 2017 still being undoubtedly the best (or at least most tolerable) thing to come out of this notorious trend so far

Worry so much about the "hero" being woke that you forget to make a good movie.

Even though I loved Black panther,I know the real reason it got so much praise..aside from being AWESOME

2 Give it a super-preachy moral/political message for Tumblr to never EVER shut up about

LMAO while reading this. Great list by the way. Funny and true at the same time

3 Make the entire movie “fan-service incarnate”

Combine with "give it a super-preachy moral/political message" (another item on this list) and you've got "Ralph Breaks the Internet".

Ironically, of Ready Player One's MANY horribly crippling problems, this one is actually far and away the worst, to put it LIGHTLY

But this won't actually make it more overrated for anyone over 10

This should be #1.

4 Make at least one of the characters die and/or almost die in a sudden tragic plot twist
5 Give it a unique and charming visual style (usually to hide its extremely shallow and naive plot) so that critics will harp about how much of a “gorgeous work of art” it is

AKA-Roma (and any other POS leftist fairy art house films out there)
-It ain't about being masculinity, I just see bad films as bad films, the movie was made for critics to love (I don't need a five minute opening scene of running water and dog crap to get a 'message'), also I don't like superhero movies FYI (A bit overrated if you ask me)

As ridiculously beautiful as the film most certainly is indeed, I must say:

(cough, Spirited Away, cough)
Hate to say it, but Iron Giant as well

Avengers: Infinity War or Avengers: Endgame? Both budgets of the Disney blockbuster are a boondoggle. That is lots of money wasted on clichéd plots and amazing CGI special effects.

Cough cough disney

6 Overhype it

Surprised this isn't Top 3 at least.

7 Base it off of one of the most successful books and/or most famous historical events of all time

Pretty sure that Titanic ticks both boxes

8 Make it a pretentious pseudo-philosophical action movie cleverly disguised as a psychological thriller

Because The Dark Knight was the movie Batman deserved...but not the movie that DC needed to make every single one of its other movies try to copy just for the pure sake of it

9 Be an extremely famous director and/or part of an extremely famous studio when making it

I'm looking at you, almost everything ever made by a certain greedy mouse or any of his sub-divisions/acquisitions.

The Lilo & Stitch movies and Frozen were great though.
I'm also actually looking forward to Frozen 2 as well.

Didn't read far enough to get this voted.

10 Be Something Made by Either Pixar, Disney, or Marvel

Marvel always steals the spotlight

The Contenders
11 Make a live action remake of an already iconic animated movie

Even "better", make absolutely sure the remake appeals to "modern sensibilities" (euphemism for for being Tumblr-woke/totally SJW friendly), and make absolutely sure the audience is aware of it. Emma Watson's "Beauty and the Beast", anyone?

Don't forget to do for it what "Hamilton" did for actual American history as far as casting

I'm looking at you, every live-action movie based on a animated Disney film...
Yeesh!

The Lifeless Lion King

12 Make it completely shameless meme material

Wouldn't that be any popular movie, I mean it is the audience that creates the memes, if a lot of people watched and enjoyed the movie there will be a lot of memes

Despite already being about memes, "Ralph Breaks the Internet" still spawned at least two obnoxious ones in itself: the "what kind of princess are you" scene and the pancake bunny.

The easiest choices require the weakest wills

(cough, Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, cough cough)

13 Make it deliberately go against every single one of the corporate modern-day movie trends that critics hate (gaudy and over-produced CGI visual effects, convoluted mazes of storylines, blatant Mary Sue characters with no souls, et cetera)

Often results in absolutely PHENOMENAL movies, however, such as (despite how obnoxiously overrated Radiohead itself is) Suspiria 2018

14 Make It an LGBT/ #metoo Movie

Not really, not many will go see it

15 Load it with "timely" messages and references

Disney being a repeat offender over the last couple years

16 Make it a sequel to a prior successful movie, even if the plot doesn't really work with the previously established characters or universe

Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: Reflection and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: Detonation do this quite a bit but they are both still great movies though.
And yes, I know that they and the rest of the Nanoha movies take place in a different continuity from other Nanoha-related media but...

Four words: Ralph Breaks the Internet

17 Obsess over it everywhere

One of the easiest ways

18 Overplay It

It's a Wonderful Life, one of the most boring Christmas movies and yet is talked about being the best simply because no one licensed the movie making it essentially free to play on air, which Mr. Turner took to mean play on repeat every christmas for the best 5 decades

A Christmas Story 24-Hour Marathon everyone. I mean, I respect A Christmas Story and all, but seriously?! A Christmas Story marathon every year?!

19 Add Nicholas Cage
20 Remake an already popular movie but with a more "woke" cast

2016 Ghostbusters, anyone?

21 Cast Gal Gadot in It
22 Feature a "gay coded" character

I.e. a character who has no spouse or obvious love interest, yet something about them (like living up to a stereotype, their story "resembling" a "coming out" story, or being "too close" to a friend or even sibling of the same gender) screams "LGBTQ" to those who look for it. Examples: Shank and Yes from "Ralph Breaks the Internet", Pleakly from "Lilo & Stitch", Clawhouser from "Zootopia", or Elsa from "Frozen".

The Lyrical Nanoha franchise isn't entirely a movie franchise per say but it has "gay coded"/LGBT characters and it's awesome.

23 Pander to SJWs

Disney has be VERY bad about this over the last few years, with all their major outlets (animated movies, Marvel, and Star Wars).

24 Cast Jennifer Aniston in It

What is it about this woman? She just plays her "Friends" character over and over.

25 Put Brat Pitt as a Protagonist
