A few thoughts:

1. "Exposing trolls" is not going to stop them from trolling. Exposure is kind of the point. Ignoring trolls works much better.

2. However, I'm not opposed to being able to read the stupidest comments from various sites. It helps one to feel a little smarter and more cultured.

3. I'm a little bemused by the whole "looks like a video game" thing. What younger audiences may not realize is that they've got the situation reversed. Post-apocalyptic video games look like the Mad Max universe (specifically The Road Warrior) and not the other way around.

4. I am always confused by "fans" who make judgments about a movie after watching a 2 and 1/2 minute trailer on a computer screen. And I'm also confused by how many say things like, "I love Mad Max..." or "I love Star Wars" or whatever and then proceed to nitpick and criticize a movie they have not even seen, claiming to be disappointed and even outraged.

I'm looking forward to Fury Road and to reading more unfounded and unfocused troll outrage.

This thread was not created to expose inner forum differences, please restrain from that. It was just to fixate some of the most "out there" comments out there.

That is what I gathered from this topic. But I guess Darth saw it another light with his own perspective. I for one liked the topic, and YouTube is facepalm central, some of the posts make me cringe. They like to be an expert on the subject, without facts research etc.. And end up looking the fool. Lesson 1. Think before you type :D and speak for that matter.

I don't get why, with all the information just a click away on the internet, we get those kind of reactions on the youtube page --

Fratela Stefanil
Borderlands Movie....
Martin Ebbesenil
Borderlands 2 the movie =)
or

Ruiz Manaloil
A desert movie. Oh great, like water world but in the desert. 
or

MyLostTempleil
Rage ripoff...
Then I like that:

A heartfelt message to pissant teenagers:

Before you dismissively declare something 'a ripoff of X', Google the thing in question. You'd hate to come across like those bubble headed morons who thought "The Wolfman" was aping "Twilight".
Jesus fuck mothering Christ. "Godzilla, pf. Pacific Rim knockoff." "LAME! THIS IS BORDERLANDS RIP OFF! MAX LAME!"
So this statement should be immortalised on this forum

I know right...the Millennial Gen is annoying sometimes with their exclamation of IP "originality" for films/games/shows etc. No excuse with the info access they have today. Pretty much all recent "post-apoc" stuff was inspired from George Miller & Mel Gibson's Mad Max series - Borderlands, Fallout, Rage, Twisted Metal, Book of Eli yada yada...now get off my lawn ya hooligans lol!

I'm seriously confused at this point. They might be trolling, but then again that would require putting some faith into this generation. Tough call.

Nope, I'm 200% certains these aren't trolls. These are genuine instant reactions from know it all who don't know shit.

Some of these are trolls. Some of them are ignorant and uninformed. And some of them simply cannot communicate without moving their thumbs, tweeting, or posting on Facebook.

Only after they have tweeted out their nonsense do they maybe stop to think about what they just posted.

My impression of some of this is to liken it to a fart in a subway car. They let it slip, walk away before anyone smells it, then make a point of looking disgusted when someone else wrinkles their nose.

no no no NO NOO !!! Just NO!!!!!! Fucking no. The music, the hot chicks, the trendy fucking emo hipster gay goth (Mad Max has dreads?!!!) the fucking pommie acting as an aussie...I had my doubts, now the trailer has just confirmed it.It's gonna be FUCKING SHIT. Maybe Tom Hardy can pronounce his words this time, still won't save this HOLLYWOOD money sponging fucking train wreck. I don't care if Mel Gibson is a racist, he's still a good actor, and while he is still alive, this role belongs to him and him only. Fuck this movie

This is so much MAD FEMMAX that it can't work, it simply isn't possible to remake this movie with so feminised cast and without proper hard male characters :D
I can't wait to see this epic fail movie :D

More proof the current generation have no clue. Usually movie clips are okay at Trailer reviews, not this time: http://www.madmaxmovies.com/forum/viewt ... 13&t=10642
