Don't give me that passive-aggressive crap, please.Life isn't fair and it's mostly random. You get in bed as the happiest man in the world but may wake up hearing your loved ones bein' tortured, or because of a natural disaster, or because politicians decided to start a war... or don't wake up at all due to a small air bubble that got to your heart in sleep. And that doesn't covers 1% of the chaos that is life.
I dont' have anything against happy endings and such. People do need fairytales and escapism. Doesn't mean a sequel to your beloved "fairytale" (both ALIENS and Bourne aren't kids movies at all, by the way) that got released 5 years later is bad just because its creators decided to write a less silly story with characters goin' through a more grounded and mature experience.
So in otherwords, the other 99% of life is an escapist fairytale? None of that crap you listed happens to the vast majority of people. There's nothing mature or grounded about a sad twist, nor is there anything escapist or fairytale about a happy one, when even you yourself admitted that only 1% of life is that way.
Its not about maturity anyways. Its about the fact that we as an audience don't like characters we have grown to become attached to quickly and unceremoniously killed off at the beginning. And before you hide behind the shield of "subversion", I'll say that it isn't that we don't like it in the "wow, that was suprising" type way, we don't like it in the "that's really not what I wanted to see in this movie' sense.
please don't let xforce be too tied this horrible movie.
