Right, and at the same time you deny the benefit of the doubt to everyone else, despite the fact that there is no reason at all to expect they binge watched the entire series + movie.
Yes I do expect that when you consider something incomprehensible and too deep to understand that you have at least put in a nominal effort to understand it first, including having completed it in a time frame where you can notice that A connects to B instead of years apart.
I don't even know what you are trying to argue at this point, let alone so angrily.
That's the sense I've been getting from you...
You continue to insist that there's a group of people out there somewhere who are watching it "wrong" somehow, and that they deserve to be ridiculed for their "errors."
You can watch it however you like, even not watch it at all. Its not some masterpiece you need to have in your life. Given how overpriced and underprinted the series is in English (and now the Netflix dub being a risk when you buy), I'd say it isn't even worth trying if you don't pirate anyway.
There was no anger on my end. Only a minor annoyance at decades of hearing people disparage it based on what seemed to be long faded memories, or memes.
Everything I've said about how to watch it was simply giving a reason how someone could be confused by it, given that was a situation I myself went through having watched it on TV and not knowing there was a movie for years after. Which I rewatched the series to refresh myself for and found it very well flowing after that.
