    Are we still doing the "you can't like fiction if you're a socialist" thing?

    Hasn't it gotten old yet? Do you guys really feel better making yourself hate everything?

    There's no such thing as ethical consumption in capitalism, so get off the high horse and try and enjoy what little bit of fun you can carve out, ideally while pirating any of these movies cus fuck paying for that.

    I just don't get the hate, I remember what movies were like before and it wasn't exactly better. Sure most of these suck but that's always been true.

    Tho admittedly none of these are particularly interesting and I like cbms so yeah... If anything it'll be fun seeing the shit show when the Flash is released considering Ezra's crimespree.

        I think you're reminding me why I left t this place, thanks

        Edit: don't forget that purity spirals help no one. I've been here since chapo was banned on Reddit and this place has gotten smaller and smaller because of this "if you slightly disagree then you're a piece of shit" mentally really isn't helping anything.

      No one fucking hates fiction. People are just tired of movies with barely any creativity having so many resources to keep reproducing meanwhile you have to put in a bunch of effort to find and make something substantial.

      It’s the equivalent of living in a good desert, but for media. And yeah, blockbuster movies weren’t always good before MCU. But at least they had the creativity to make unique slop every year instead of “SEQUEL TO MARVEL MOVIE PART 10”

        This. Movies have always mostly sucked by looking at this it's just like "Damn these are all sequels or reboots of shit I thought was cool when I was 13".

      You can’t make me enjoy superhero films, I’ve been tired of them since the 2000s. If you like them that’s ok I guess, but just because you like something doesn’t mean you can’t or shouldn’t critique the industry that made it.

      My dude, it's alright to complain about sequelitis. There was a time when the majority of blockbusters wasn't some sequel or reboot.
