Award winning acting and character driven story arcs were never a part of this genre. If you bitch about the absurdity of an Evil Dead movie and someone suggests Bruce Campbell movies might not be for you, a response along the lines of "I'm fine with the genre. Army of Darkness just wasn't very good" just doesn't make sense.
What "wasn't very good" to you is present in every other film of the genre, including the new Godzilla movie everybody has the same complaints about. We've already lost the vampire et al genre to tweens and Danielle Steele. Please don't try turning giant robot / monster fighting movies into some sort of Days of Our Lives drama.
More Robots, Less Crying
More Monsters, Less Romance
More Fighting, Less Drama
