In all honesty
I have when people use the rhetorical trick of dressing up their opinions with "honestly" as if presenting some brave truth instead of a fucking opinion.
"The Dark Knight" trilogy
"Things bad but attempting to change them is worse, actually" with badge-humping is not really that complex or original a narrative arc nor one with much emotional depth, no matter how many feelz the
had about it because it fit his enlightened centrism ideology and probably even helped to shape it.It was capeshit trying hard to seem more mature. That's the only difference it had with the MCU as far as I'm concerned.
spider-verse fuckin slapped, I saw it on motion chairs and got fuckin slung around while spider-woman beat up a laser bird 10/10
"aggressively pro cop comic book advertisement for another film"
I liked the film but like shit's grim
it's no more copaganda than the usual capeshit/mafia film
but besides that is any film split into multiple parts an advertisement for another film lmao
is war and peace part one an ad for war and peace part two, is fellowship an ad for two towers
it's no more copaganda than the usual capeshit/mafia film
one of the main characters is a NY police chief and they had the audacity to include BLM shit in there. They're the modern day SS, that should be seen as a serious mark against the film regardless of historical context

if you fail to provide a complete narrative within in your movie, yes. You can watch the first Star Wars film and get a full movie. Just because other films also fuck this up doesn't mean its acceptable
empire strikes back ends on a cliffhanger with han solo frozen, and its events don't get resolved until the next movie

Actors don't *really" matter now unless they have some overlap with "idol" bullshit.
can't (yet) truly and fully own actors, but owning IPs is easy. Cinema being about recycled rebooted reimagined bazinga slop forever and ever is a money fountain.There are still interesting films made, but it's basically only A24 making them, and I fear that studio will go more bland too.
it will with time or fold, and that's not a fault of anyone working there
Cinema isn't dying, it's dead and rotting in the ground, and it will never come back as long as "content" exists.
