I mean yeah i think that's evil to market towards kids and use them as a hook to make parents overspend, that's like the primary definition of "bad". It's bad for the kids they market to and it's bad for society too.

Agreed, with the caveat that the Zack Snyder DC films were genuine trash. Not even on a comic book reader and fan level, just on a Zack Snyder level, we need to stop letting that asshat write and make movies.

Eh I think they are more aimed at adults just by the way they are marketed including the toys which mostly make money in the adult collectors market. They just give the excuse to bring kids.

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.

Hi,

I’m only commenting to show something… Seconds ago I read a comment about Ukraine and pornography with which I completely disagreed. I left the thread, came here, read a comment I completely agree with.

Both are made by the same commenter.

See, we can agree on some things and disagree on others. There’s more than two personalities available.

Maybe it’s just me, but I also find it weird to see adults with t-shirts or stickers on their cars of what are essentially kid’s shows and comics.
