A review for Monsters Inc. that took it so seriously that the ending made them angry because in their opinion it was just as bad for monsters to wake kids up to make them laugh as to scare them, because kids need a full night's sleep so they shouldn't be woken up in the middle of the night at all.

I mean, maaaaaybe if it was the same kid every single night, but it wasn't, so it wasn't like anyone was routinely losing sleep... but still, that was so un-genre-savvy for the tone of the move that it just came off as utterly ridiculous.

And I know this can't be helped to some extent, but reviewers of movies in a franchise who are clearly not familiar with the franchise and go in on "common knowledge" assumptions that are actually false. I know they need to review the movie anyway for their job, but as a Pokemon fan at the time of the first movie's release, seeing all these boomer critics slam the movie for being hypocritical about it being bad that Pokemon were forced to fight each other at the end when "that's what they do all the time anyway, how is it different" made me want to email them all and explain "Uhm ACTUALLY normal trainer battles are willingly fought on the part of the Pokemon."
