/lit/ - Literature

i've heard a few people say the same thing and i never really understood it either

i don't see critical analysis as the Street Fighter thing you mentioned, however to me it is that analogy (playing SSIV now actually) i think to most people it's more akin to studying the coding of Street Fighter and looking at how every piece of code or w/e comes together after hours of work. And i think this, for some people, takes away the magic of pulling off aShoryuken to a Shinryuken and finally finishing it with your ultra combo Shroyureppa with Ken. But that's just my opinion.

Now personally i think that if i learnt all about coding and how everything worked together in street fighter IV i would appreciate it more. See it as more of an art form and truly appreciate the man hours and time and dedication that went into the game, which, in turn gave me the ability to get a perfect on E.Honda etc. But i can see for some people why this would be a chore, why they want to just play SSIV (or appreciate a book) on a base level, and how there comes a point when they don't want to dig any deeper and they're happy with their understanding.

I did some film evaluation for a year or two and i kind've enjoyed it. However, it did take some of the pleasure out of viewing PARTICULAR films for me, but i think this was more because of the sheer amount of times i had to watch 'Rita, Sue and Bob Too' or 'Children of Men'

I think that critical analysis can be said to be in some ways specific to literature, as in, critical analysis is used in a special and unique way. But to those who don#t enojoy it, i would say that you can easily learn a little bit that WILL enhance your enjoyment of a text. And that it's just up to you as to when you feel that the critical analysis is starting to stop your enjoyment of a text. And that's when you should probably stop.

Pic related, it's what people who don't like critical analysis are.
half serious here

i am not a man-child, i take responsiblilty for my posts and don't need to cower behind the façade of 'anonymous' to hide my failings.

real men use tripcodes and take responsibility for the things they post.

so no sir, i did not drop trip. sometimes people agree with each other, i think you need to understand this.
