I'm sorry. My hate for capitalism isn't pure enough to forsake marvel movies and just watch Netflix's the Irishman.

some Marvel movies are good fun but they're very paint-by-numbers and hinting at depth that absolutely is not there, like Pixar movies tbh

weren’t the greek pantheon not so much a true working religion among the people as they were the patron deities of cults not representative of the general population?

Kind of similar to how people treat and think of superheroes in general, but thanks to a very active and vocal minority who practically worship the properties they (and by extension the corporations that control them) still have an outsize impact on our cultural output.

the reason the greek epic cycle, apart from Homer, is lost is because it was considered to be lovely fluff by it's contemporaries

i like how this person opens up with a recanting that implies the rest of the piece is going to be an artistic defense of wandavisions themes but then he just does a long winded recap that doesnt really explain what the shows about at all

It really puzzles me why anyone would buy monthly comics anymore. Just switch to trades and release them like novels in a series instead of this archaic schedule that's requires people to go to nerd-infested stores that have trouble staying solvent.

The more I read about this show, the less I want to watch any kind of television anymore. I guess that's good?
I knew as a kid TV was made by people who won the social lottery; but being an adult in my mid-30s now just made profoundly aware just how insular, arbitrary, and nepotistic the whole process is.

I just hate auteur programs with a "voice" or a "viewpoint" knowing it's just some lib more and more. I say this as someone who had many formative liberal heroes and voices as a teen and young adult.

When I read a synopsis about Thanos being in love with death I think "well, that's kind of poetic and theatrical I suppose" and then you read about some of the other poo poo and just laugh. Who the gently caress can stomach this poo poo.

Alan Silvestri is a hack and the marvel movie soundtracks are particularly awful, though I kinda enjoy Ramin djawadi's iron Man score because it's so ridiculous

Maybe Ragnarok had ok music

Also Hans Zimmer loving sucks
