I really dislike it when groups/individuals who often court influence and dialogue to market but don't like it on the flip side. They have fed these ecosystems but bite back at the content that dismisses them. You want people to talk about your movie/music/show then simply accept you have no control over the direction and tone of the talk.

I wonder if he takes offense to amateur film advocates...or in general viewers? as i feel like these kinda statements make me feel like I am not allowed to share my opinion on his movies i watched.

He's talking about people who broadcast opinions so uninformed that they don't know the difference between a problem and a trope. Not people sharing a thoughtful opinion that actually acknowledges the movie and story.

Opinions aren't precious gems that need to be valued and protected. Not all opinions are valuable. In fact, most aren't. This used to be common understanding, along with "don't share your name on the internet", "you can't trust politicians", and "don't believe everything you read". All of these have been flipped around, for worse.

So if your golden opinion is that pointing out a movie follows the Heroes Journey and that means it sucks, then that's the kind of opinion Nolan is talking about, and he is right.
