Quote from: Famous Mortimer on July 24, 2022, 11:12:54 PMThis doesn't happen, though (I presume). Perhaps people who hate wrestling are just better than people who hate Marvel.

Again, what's the lower limit on Marvel things seen to be allowed to post in these general threads?

It doesn't happen no, possibly because people realise that wrestling isn't for them and so don't need to contribute to the discussion. People who don't like Marvel films could try the same tactic. I mean people are free to do what they want but I don't think it reflects too well against them

I don't really understand your question on the second point

madhair60

the stuff about being non-conforming/iconoclastic for attention is frighteningly close to TERF rhetoric. "we all know it's just attention-seeking". it's a phase, is it? a phase five. and six

Whenever I see this director's name it makes me think of this Community clip because it sounds the same:

Why would it be funny if one of the greatest American directors of all time is reduced to making a superhero movie? Are the commercial interests of Disney that important to MCU fans?

I accept it must be annoying to get the same old criticism in individual film threads - I don't condone that. But this thread is different and the comparison with going into wrestling threads just to say it's a load of shit doesn't hold. It's quite easy to avoid WWE. It's nigh-on impossible to go to the cinema or watch a streaming platform or read news or social media without this stuff forced down your eyeballs. You can't escape its presence and now every studio wants its own crappy version of MCU.

It's junk food cinema, which is fine in small doses, but when it's proliferating everywhere with no signs of slowing down, it's entirely right to call out this cinematic obesity crisis.

I like it when they shoot lasers at eachother out their hands and you worry which laser is gonna win. Haha nah seriously though, the Marvel films are beneath me.

Replace 'Wrestling' with 'Football' then. Fucking odious plague on humanity that is nonetheless revered as a THE MOST IMPORTANT THING by many, forced into our eyeballs by the media, social or otherwise, and I would argue to a much greater degree than Marvel films and certainly for a much longer length of time. Weirdly though, i don't feel the need to seek out the football threads so I can complain about it.

bgmnts

I've gone into the football threads to talk about how shit it is many atime. I'm an equal opportunist critic.

Yet you will happliy play video games which I consider infantile but don't go out of my way to denigrate. Oohh  pretending your a Ninja, pressing buttons...

bgmnts

If video games were as prevalent and in your face as marvel films surely everyone would denigrate them in the same?

These days, if you say Marvel's shit for cunts you get thrown in jail.

Your acting as if Marvel are leafleting, cold calling or aggressivley begging from you. Fuck! Theres another Marvel film! I can't turn on the telly for six weeks for fear of assault but I better go and register my disdain again on cookd and bombd.

I mean, they are. It's one of the most heavily-marketed media franchises on Earth if not the most. I see ads and press for Marvel products probably every day of my life in some form or another.

In fairness, that is kind of what they're trying to do. They have multi-million dollar marketing campaigns designed specifically to keep them in a movie-going audience's mind. If you're a film fan it can get a little grating, does for me at least.

Complaining about them is valid too, but just need to know the time and place. If this is a thread for Marvel discussion then it should be allowed. If it's a thread for Marvel fans, that's different.

I'm sorry, it must be really difficult for you.

Yeah but there's complaining and there's coming into a thread and going "blargh shit for cunts" and nothing else. I know it's CaB and the "jokey" misery and cynicism is to be expected but even by that standard it's very lazy.

Bemoaning the mere fact of their existence is fine I guess but rather futile. I just wish the criticism had some specificity. It's all good, I can watch and enjoy these films with my kids and my mum and we love it so up yours haterz.

madhair60

there's loads of specific criticism in the marvel threads lol, why are you pretending there isn't. the threads are still there. anyone can read the posts in them. this is demented

There's still a huge appetite for Marvel movies. Dr Strange 2 just nearly made a billion. The much heralded 'super-hero fatigue' never comes. What will hurt Marvel is a different genre becomes more popular. What that might be, you are welcome to reckon.

This is the crux of it, a mediocre film in the saga but still raking it in despite not even playing in China.

So what are they supposed to do? Stop printing money because it offends the sensibilities of a handful of fuckless nuggets?

Well maybe you should.  Can't blame everyone else for your own craven failure to be a fully fledged human being.

Get out there and TELL THE WORLD THAT FOOTBALL IS SHIT.  Perhaps with that generous mindset some people will learn that it is SHIT to be a fan of football.

Butchers Blind

Maybe if Marvel focused on quality rather than quantity people might be more tolerant.
