Exploration is ill-advised.

so im leaving infinity war on the background on cable and i just realized you dont even have to go to endgame to find support for supermechagodzillas doctor strange deliberately murders tony stark theory of the movie in the battle that literally happens right after doctor strange is looking at alternate futures theyve got thanos pinned down and starlord fucks it up by melting down when he realizes that gamora is dead

its wild how many epistemological problems the movie creates with that one stupid scene that only exists to pointlessly invoke the whole million to one chance cliche

And it still explains so much given such an emphasis is put on Thanos and Tony Stark having so much in common

I think that's a part of it: modern film isn't sexless, old films had a lot of blatant pandering. See "Bond girls", the teen sex comedy, the 'erotic thriller', the saxophone-backed sex scene in almost every 80s film. It's almost laughable how obvious the thinking was.

It's like with anti-tobacco advertising laws; when stricter laws meant films weren't throwing in smoking by any means necessary it becomes super obvious how much was product placement compared to reality.

Like, BvS has Superman and Lois gently caress in a bathtub and no one ever brings it up. Gratituous sex is out, making room for actual intimacy, and when sex shows up it's actually meaningful characterisation-wise.

Because all they do is kiss? That's actually a perfect example of how the superheroes movies are sexless.

I think the only actual sex in any of these was with Tony and the reporter in Iron Man 1. Sure, it's not a "sex scene" but it's clear that they hosed.

With avatar 2, it's gonna be a fight between chuds getting their manifest destiny on and liberals stanning the movie, while native folks pointing out the racism get shat on.

It's gonna be the worst discourse ever.

It's the peer pressure thing to of making any mistakes and you're going to be shamed. Teens are busy "canceling" each other for poo poo like the 18 year old dating the 16 year old and then being called a pedo. I think there's a 100 percent rise in people who think they are being "Progressive" but they're actually just turning into puritanical little prudes.

The biggest flaw with Gen Z I'm seeing is that making mistakes is important for character growth, but now all mistakes are "sins". But often mistakes leads to pain (heartbreak, that sort of thing) and everyone is trying to be "problem free" which in the long run will create far worse problems.

modern working class life is at once more comfortable and more exhausting than ever before, people are wallowing in depression as a result of the nonsensical bureaucratic nightmare of modern society sapping every bit of their energy, and queuing up something on streaming with a partner is a far easier way to try combat anhedonia than going out or having sex
