But I think we can agree that Alien 3 is a pretty mediocre film, while Wall-E, Up, or Inside Out are superb film making that at least I would recommend to just about anyone.

Who was talking about Alien 3?

You didn't specify the episode so reasonably any episode is a good fit.

I don't think the target audience really matters. Film critics regularly cite Disney fare like Snow White, Fantasia, and Pinocchio as some of the best films ever made. Analogous lists of video games are pretty much required to have some Mario games on the list. Good is good.

Why wouldn't you compare games aimed at to similar audiences? And that analogy is pretty weak, I'd say Zelda is aimed at kids to adults, Witcher 3 aimed at teens to adults. I'd say it's more similar to Harry Potter vs. Lord of the Rings. Both "dorky" things to outsiders but slightly different range of audiences.

I agree, but the commenter claimed it was the "best" game, so a comparison, for better or for worse, was implied.
