Blades of the Guardians treats "worldbuilding" the way a toddler treats a fruit bowl — enthusiastically, briefly, then forgotten.

I've seen screen savers with more depth and fewer unnecessary lens flares than Blades of the Guardians.

The science in Blades of the Guardians has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Hot Take: Blades of the Guardians's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Rewatched Blades of the Guardians last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Blades of the Guardians actually is?

Director clearly thought Blades of the Guardians was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Blades of the Guardians?

Honestly, Blades of the Guardians would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
