I think people who trash this movie are trashing it for the wrong reasons.

Well, hating is the kewl thing around here.

Regarding what you said about ‘Widow though… or it’s actually because the Fast & Furious franchise isn’t a franchise based on… comic books? You know, properties filled with super powered and otherworldly beings who have always been able to do the impossible? The Fast & Furious series started out as a relatively grounded franchise with high stakes but now you got a seemingly normal guy like Dom (a guy who can utter the word “family” and become freaking Superman) lifting a damn building with his bare hands? Please! I know there are genuine fans of Fast & Furious (who know how ridiculous every installment has become) that thought this movie took things way too far even for this franchise. And sure, at least the spin-off already gave us an enhanced human. However, the Fast crew are capable of performing these very absurd things when they’re supposed to be “real” characters? Lmao.

Yes, it’s called suspension of disbelief (necessary for the action genre especially). But when a franchise like this basically goes from Point Break to Mission Impossible on steroids (killing any verisimilitude), it’s hard to go with the flow. This franchise certainly had to evolve, oh yes, but at this point it’s become like a parody of itself. But hey, after this messy movie, I doubt disappointed audiences who will continue to go see these movies will ever complain about its ridiculousness as it’s become clearer than ever that there’s zero rules in this franchise.

Oh, and if Tyrese had done what David and Scarlett did in their film, people would complain about Tyrese? Well, first of all, David’s character is established as a superhuman. That guy is supposed to do the impossible. And while Scarlett’s character may be a normal human compared to many of the heroes in that universe, she’s still a character from the comic universe and it was established a long time ago in her franchise that her character can do “ridiculous” (awesome) things. What’s more, the scenes you mentioned were no more absurd (unrealistic is the word, cuz they were executed far better than anything in Fast 9) than so many action scenes in Marvel or DC films. As is, Tyrese in his movie doing the same thing? Well, at this point there’s evidently zero verisimilitude in his movies. Yet, I 100% guarantee you the majority of audiences (including those who don’t care for something like Black Widow) would be laughing their asses off if they saw his character (a character who IS treated like a joke) doing anything like that. And rightfully so! Double standards? Nice try, but no XD
