Don’t be a cultural morlock living in reaction against whatever is popular. They’re westerns with magic, shit isn’t trying to be high art.
Hand-wringing over media consumption is the 69th type of liberalism.
But I don’t think anyone here has been pontificating about the immorality of watching superhero movies because they’re problematic or any radlib shit like that. We just like pointing out that they’re soulless corporate slop.
Even with movies that blatantly shill for the military, though, watching movies is a morally neutral act.
wow epic r/unpopularopinion my guy! take my reddit gold!
I think people are right to complain. It’s not just boring, it’s corporate slop that actively damages people’s worldview and ability to think critically.
The dweebs who think Endgame is high art are not (yet) equipped to appreciate actual high art. A lot of them are literal children.
That’s a question I’ve been asking about myself for like a decade. Like all nerds I consider myself a pretty smart dude but most of the supposed high literature never really worked for me. I make occasional attempt to get into serious novels but it never sticks and I return to my hard sci-fi books.
Maybe it’s sheltered nerd life that prevents us from relating to human drama? Maybe being a nerd is being on the autism spectrum just a tiny bit? I dunno.
On the other hand I watch a lot of high-brow movies but more of bizarre surreal kind, less of a “intimate character study of a family going through separation” kind.
get over it? no one is stopping you from enjoying the spandex and explosions to your hearts content.
criticism of shitty politics in popular media is a good thing
I mean yeah, sure. The amount of leftists I see defaulting to “this shit is popular, therefore I hate it” is just :cringe: though lol
k.
but youre complaining about “people complaining about something for being popular” because those complaints, in their popularity, have become grating, no?
stop being a cultural morlock about being a cultural morlock
look at my username and then get back to me with a re-evaluated opinion.
:sicko-yes:
