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.

    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!). ✌️
