Controversial fandom opinions?

I don't like "E.T."

As a child I really did not grasp the psychic connection thing going on between ET and Eliot, as an adult I find that the movie is mostly boring. This is aside from the bike chase at the end, my brother and I happened to tune into the movie at just that part one afternoon and were blown away by the god-tier skill level Spielberg displayed with directing that chase, it is so much fun.

Spielberg should direct every chase scene...

Yeah, I never connected with that film. And now today I wonder what exactly was wrong with that alien. He’s either a lost child or someone’s lost retarded relative.

He is not retarded.
He built a communications device out of junk and learned a functional amount of the English language in a couple of days.

Yeah. Never liked ET either. The alien design is pretty stupid too. Seems too slow and fat to have avoided being eaten in its caveman days long enough to have developed tech superior to ours tbh.

You could say the same thing about most modern Westerners.

True. Kind of adds an interesting layer to ET when you think about it. What sort of person was he before he ended up on Earth?

E.T.'s from the Skyriver Galaxy, don't you know? I mean, we see this from scenes in the Galactic Senate with Senator Grebleips. It's just relativity brought the Asogians forward into our galaxy the further they traveled from their galaxy due to a broken component on their hyperdrive, similarly to the Sith aboard the Harbinger from the Great Hyperspace War. When they return, it's going to be long past the Legacy era, which was set in 140 ABY.

Here's a controversial fandom opinion. I love Duel, one of Spielberg's earlier movies, over E.T. And over Jaws. No foolin'.

Would it be controversial? DUEL is aces. May be my favorite 70s Spielberg.

There's a good argument that ET was actually a child itself left by his parents for a summer camp experience only to immediately freak out and want to come back early due to our planet being such a hellhole.
