For me, if I ask for an unpopular opinion and you say something about pineapple on pizza I’m going to assume you have no personality.

“Marvel/DC movies BAD.”
They’re products aimed at children with the intention of selling other related products. The fact that some biological adults love them excessively in certain communities/cultures says something about those groups, but doesn’t change the nature of the films themselves. What exactly did you expect?!
Agreed, with the caveat that the Zack Snyder DC films were genuine trash. Not even on a comic book reader and fan level, just on a Zack Snyder level, we need to stop letting that asshat write and make movies.
Eh I think they are more aimed at adults just by the way they are marketed including the toys which mostly make money in the adult collectors market. They just give the excuse to bring kids.
Agree, and as an adult who enjoys comic book movies. I also like really good cinema. Liking good movies does not mean movies that aren’t winning Oscars are all bad. It means you’re just a gatekeeper.
I can sit down and watch a movie like the Brutalist or the Whale absolutely lose my shit at them.
But sometimes I don’t feel like being emotionally destroyed and just want good guys punching bad guys with predictable plot.
Humans are complex and sometimes you may like one and other times the other, there is no “you can’t like X movie”. Only gatekeepers think that way.
I agree to a great degree. And expectations should be adjusted accordingly. I remember having a great time watching Thor: Ragnarok, not because it was beautiful art that made me reflect and cry and whatnot but because it was fun! And not extremely dumb, lol, and that’s all we can ask from these movies. Rarely do people only enjoy things with a lot of depth and complexity, and even if you’re like that about movies, are you the same about music? Food? You’ve never enjoyed a greasy burger? So yeah there’s no need to hate on them, and no need to expect more from them either (but if it happens it’s always a nice surprise!). ✌️
Hi,
I’m only commenting to show something… Seconds ago I read a comment about Ukraine and pornography with which I completely disagreed. I left the thread, came here, read a comment I completely agree with.
Both are made by the same commenter.
See, we can agree on some things and disagree on others. There’s more than two personalities available.
There might be three even, but that’s it! 😅
Maybe it’s just me, but I also find it weird to see adults with t-shirts or stickers on their cars of what are essentially kid’s shows and comics.
They weren’t originally written for children. The writers were writing their trauma and what they were experiencing at the time for other adults. In fact the readers back then were average of college aged. You may think these comics were written for children because you think their writers were good at writing but actually they were mostly weak writers. Like Stan Lee originally wrote romance. He was a weak writer. Excellent worldbuilder, though.
Comics now are still mainly written for adults.
Source for the writers?
“Originally” was near a century ago. What has that got to do with today?
