Hodgepodge posted:as good as scream is, it was probably pretty close to patient zero for the whole oh so self aware thing It certainly was with regards to horror movies of the mid to late 90s before torture porn became the big thing during the Bush years. I rally don't thunk the every movie is just quips all around and *snark* till about the time Avengers was coming out. But nerds had been all about that Whedon "snarkiness" probably since after Firefly

Movie studios trying to ground superheroes with the modern world is a big loving mistake. Superheroes should be fighting warlords on Mars or robot armies from another timeline. Trying to make something of political commentary falls on its face because it's either a wank of military pride or flies over everyone's heads as they see the lasers and slo-mo punches.

That, and if the superheroes showed up to save humanity and were serious about it, the absolute first thing they would do is destroy the United States and almost everyone in it, if they don't start with the banks' boards or liberating and supplying the banks' slave armies with munitions for revolt.

Wonder Woman has a subplot about an Arab prince wishing for his ancestral land back, which when granted goes horrible wrong and puts the world on the path to world war. Also a giant wall immediately gets put around the land which cuts off the local population from water. Weird plot choice.Taintrunner posted:apparently the new Wonder Woman is neoliberal “be grateful for what you have, disgusting poors” garbage. lmao also it’s a 150 minute IDF commercial eh, the antagonist is basically if Donald Trump weaponized The Secret. The surface message is a liberal mocking of people who are too into the American dream, when good leaders with wealth and power are self-sacrificing. Biden is going to get us back to normal after those horrible Trump years.

Weird plot choice. the movie is full of weird plot choices that make it feel like the film had wild changes during production, like she was supposed to have given up her powers to be able to hang out with steve trevor again but most of the action in the movie is when she's not powered but it's no different from when she is, it just comes out as a couple of weird gags don't get me wrong, chris pine is genuinely funny and there's some real charm in there, but it's so weird and disjointed

US comics on average kind of suck, but most of them always sucked. The bigger issue is that they are way too expensive. A streaming subscription costs as much as buying three issues a month, or one collected trade. Decades ago US comics used to be some of the cheapest media in the market, now its some of the most expensive.

In Wonder Woman 84, the protagonists meet up with a guy whose family is Maya and is in possession of an ancient Maya codice that explains the McGuffin. An Indian actor plays the part-Mayan character, which probably isn't great. I'm more concerned about characters in exposition saying that the Maya were destroyed, when at the time the movie is set a genocide was being carried out against Mayan people in Central America. Most of the movie is set in DC too, so the locations are theoretically places war criminals like Elliott Abrams and Ollie North walked by everyday.

The original Scream owns because it was a seasoned director mocking the genre he loved. Pity no one else in the industry got the joke. The best comedy payoff in horror is Motel Hell. The whole movie is 1.5 hours of gonzo setup for one gloriously stupid punchline.

so in wonder woman 84 the character of barbara wishes to be like diana and gets all her powers and stuff right. before this, some dude attempts to rape her in the park and wonder woman just kinda knocks him over and they leave. later, once she has the powers, the guy tries it again and she kicks the loving poo poo out of him. and the movie makes this seem like its her dark turn. i gotta question why the movie that was sold as female empowerment is telling us that injuring an attempted rapist is a bad thing also the movie is a giant steaming pile of poo poo lol

Edit: OH, it's because literally every person financing the film is a serial rapist, not even kidding. First guess: Because she should've dropped him off a cliff, I assume. Much neater, cleaner.
