: Again, it seems that the majority of so-called "Anti-Burton" rants have really just been levelled at certain dislikings taken to many of his recent films, and not focusing on the faux Kevin/Tim brouhahah the so many here like to bemoan, despite the fact, nobody's really talking about it except people damning other posters they THINK are talking about it. Overactive imaginations taking a few retarded Burton-hating posts and turning it into an "epidemic" or something...
First, I was making a point directly in response to a point made by the person I was replying to, so your point is reaching at best.
However, the facts of the matter are -
1) Complaining about Burton's "theft" of Kevin's idea is on-topic.
2) Complaining about Burton's "theft" of Kevin's idea is stupid.
3) Complaining about Burton's body of work is perfectly reasonable in general.
4) Complaining about Burton's body of work is off-topic.
That is all.
Thank you for your time.
