It's because the cultural impact point is completely hollow. Not only is it untrue (billions grossed and starting a trend of 3D movies IS a cultural impact), but it's also pointless. When they say "cultural impact" they mean "it doesn't have a Star Wars level fanbase" but the reality is that that's not important. Fan base size isn't equate to quality. It's a complete non-argument people use because they think it makes them sound smart.

True, I meant lasting cultural impact, I guess. I'm not talking about fanbases, either.
