Critic: "Your food is too bland and dull for my tastes, doesn't have enough flavor or kick. I didn't enjoy it."
Chef: "It was supposed to taste that way, don't judge it off what you were expecting... enjoy it for what it is."
that would apply if the chef didnt tell you before hand what he was going for with the food...if he says before hand 'i'm going for something without kick', it's kinda dumb to come back and say 'i didnt like it cause it didnt have kick'....
dc said they were going with a more serious tone before hand, so for critics to come back and say 'it wasnt light enough' is dumb...that's like knowing before hand a movie is a comedy, watching it, and then saying it didnt have enough drama in it.....
...whether or not people like the movie is up to them, but to use the tone as a critique when they knew before hand what the tone was gonna be is dumb...and shows they arent judging the movie for what it is, instead are judging what they wanted it to be...
