I would disagree that the best evidence anti-enders have is popular opinion, and would actually say that's the worst evidence since mobs are usually wrong. If we go into objective beauty, goodness, justice, etc, this discussion will require much more length and go far beyond the topic. It Suffices to say I entirely disagree with you. I would cite thinkers and philosophers who have addressed the issue, but I don't know if either us wants to go that deep into this on a message board. Not to say you don't have a point, as the fact that all of our senses are mediated to us has been a key aspect of debate for centuries concerning objective truths.Torrible wrote...

I can debate a 4 year old on whether or not the sun exists, but that doesn't change whether or not is it a fact......objectivity only implies that something is factual. Whether or not a couple of people decide to debate something has no relevance with whether or not something is actually objective.Torrible wrote...

You either don't know the definition of objective or are a reletavist. It is not an opinion that the story doesn't follow the proper structure that has been known for god knows how long, that is a fact.HenchxNarf wrote...

Technically you could call it objectively bad. They failed at writing 101, literally, the storyboard rises in the climax arc but does not descend into the resolution arc. How you fail to do that, I have no idea... it is an objective reason why so many people feel confused and abandoned at the ending however.
That's not even getting into the dropping of narrative coherence, and many other objectionable issues with the ending.
This is where opinions come in. This is your opinion, this is not fact. Some see the writing as fine, some don't. Those are opinions. To say it's "objectively bad" isn't a fact.
This doesn't even come close to being objective. The so called plotholes are merely unexplained inconsistencies. Even if the plotholes cannot be explained away, it is not an objective fact that the ending is bad. Objectivity implies that no debate is needed or possible. Countless threads over BSN and other gaming forums prove otherwise. Yet again, Opinion =/= fact.
True. That was not a good argument. Flat-earth theorists comes to mind.
Let me try again. Objectivity implies falsifiabilitiy. A fact must be possible to prove.
The best evidence the anti-enders have is popular opinion. People can be collectively wrong about things. 99.99% of the people in the world thought the earth was flat long ago, and if you ask them, they would proclaim it to be an objective fact. Unlike the roundness of earth, whether an ending is good or bad cannot be proven. You can argue that concepts like beauty and ugliness can be objective. It's not. It's still subjective because our views come from a limited human perspective.
This explains what I meant although it more concerns morality
