    Yeah it feels like the MCU ran over everyone’s dog or something. I get the arguments where people say it’s not real art or that studios put out shlock because they’re trying to copy the MCU. I don’t know if I necessarily agree.

    However, what about the meme about just letting people enjoy things?

    Let me clear. Last MCU movie I watched was like Shang Chi and I lost interest after Loki and Wandavision (great shows). So like, I’m not a fan anymore and I ain’t watching any of their movies any time soon.

    The quality of a work lies not in how it makes you feel, but in how many polysyllabic words it allows you to use when talking about it.

    Subversive. By mocking an extreme, you want to avoid the main issue here: Marvel is a toxic shithole normalized by aggressive marketing.

    Marvel movies often have a subtle SUBTLE undertone cliticizing the Kaiser and praising a bohemian view of agriculture. It’s understandable but not forgivable that this is so often missed.

      Not a Polish film, but Hard to be a God (2013) is that.

      It’s a 3hr B&W Russian film about futuristic scientists who are living on a medieval planet to study it. Everything is disgusting, claustrophobic, and filthy (the main character is a germophobe). As he watches a fascist theocracy take control of the kingdom, the protaginist wrestles with whether or not to get involved.

      Unfortunately what is considered the world’s first movie is A Trip to the Moon from 1902, so there exists no movie from 1873

    Adult Star Wars fans when kids try to enjoy the movie with dog people, living teddy bears and elite troopers that can’t shoot straight.

    Reminds me of the movie critics on breakfast TV here. When they recommend a movie, we’ll take it as a warning. When they condemn it, we consider it a recommendation.
