I actually think the multiverse concept is a super annoying and obvious cash grab. At no point did I think "oh cool these movies connect". From the first moment to me it read as "oh they're planning to make 100 movies and tying them together is just a tactic to con people into seeing all 100 the same way people have watched plenty of sequels they know will suck, but they just want to finish the trilogy". Then the first time I heard it referred to as the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" I threw up in my mouth. I'll never understand how people didn't get bored and jaded after... 10 years max. We're now sailing past 20 years from where I see this as all starting and it's still some of the most popular shit of all time.

Did you time warp from August 2021 or what?

Another version of "online dating is awful!"

Haven't heard this one before. The world is better with online dating than it was without it

Boring

What does anything "need to be"? We need to eat drink and fuck. That's about it. Trying to define things based on need is weird and misguided

Celebrity articles? What the fuck? I do not see that at all and I'm here every day.

I never fucking said anything about what my political beliefs are

Lol you absolutely didn't have to

People are saying these aren't even true which I believe, but also what this does not take into account is that the ability to take care of humanity has expanded far, far more than we're allowing to actually happen. And if the right wing has anything to say about it, we'll do even less caring for our people. We could easily solve world hunger with today's wealth but instead we have people that could burn a million dollars a day and still be rich for many years

lol got a nice chuckle out of me!

Cringe

It seems like you replied to the wrong comment.

Just because Scorcese frames it as an industry dying doesn't mean I fully agree with that. I absolutely agree that the overall quality of stories is down and marvel crap is largely to blame. Doesn't matter if it's not a new thing for trash media to exist, I can still dislike it

I have a feeling I'm older than you, and that's a good thing

I absolutely agree that politics can be subtle and unintentional but to classify a movie with the word "political" as a topic unto itself implies an intentionally present political message.

As many people have pointed out, if all the money gets spent on ironman 72, movies like pulp fiction can't be funded. Yeah indie films are great, but there was also a time that movies in that same vein could reach hundreds of millions in the mainstream, and that impact on culture was a good one imo

I didn't say he was outside it. But I'm not defending him like he's a victim like you are the marvel trash factory

I claimed 3 movies likely aren't political. You extrapolated that to all art. I'm done here

no politics in art

Never ever ever said that because it's untrue as fuck. You lost me completely

Despite other people pointing it out I'm not really buying it.

There is a line "Ronald Reagan, the actor? President?" Which seems to indicate it's a ridiculous idea.

Then as others have pointed out, Biff in BTTF 2 is basically exactly trump and they couldn't paint that character in a worse light. He's an evil villain.

The reality is probably that the movies have nothing political in them other than the joke about Reagan which likely actually wasn't meant to be a real critique
