Well, they're for kids. They are children's entertainment, like Sesame Street. But adults are free to enjoy them. The only one overthinking this genre is Zack Snyder. Seriously what is he doing, it's Superman for chrissakes. The story should be told- can only be told- like a children's cartoon.

It's too serious. Imagine if Disney made the Superman movie. Blue skies. Optimistic Supes. Goofy Clark. A plot that a kid won't sleep through. It'd be entertaining and fun to watch is what I mean, not a weird, twisted bizzaro version of the Superman story we know and love.

I honestly don't get this, we'd just be getting more terminator reboots, transformers movies or shit like Independence day 2. Which are much worse. I just ignore the capeshit. It's so inoffensive.

This is why they made movie about super serious Captain America who running helicarriers on civillains heads?

Snyderman is truest to Superman we ever had so far besides Lois and Clark series, which only shit because of special effects aged like milk.
>>
>>82375368
So what you're saying is a director has a duty to impress as many people as possible since capeshit is inherently made for money and is therefore anti-art and shouldn't be treated as anything different like snyder is trying to do?

It is, there are edgy children and teenagers out there if you didn't get the memo.

>>82375588
>It is

Only you can't explain why.

It's not written or marketed with the sensibilities of children in mind.
>>
>>82375623
Read the rest of the sentence and there's your explanation.
>>
>>82375518
It's more about the essence of the character and story, and trying to create a definitive vision. What Snyder has done is wrong. What Tim Burton tried to do was wrong. Why overthink it and twist it? You get one shot to do it in the present day. Don't wait to tell the story properly in the reboot 10 years from now, tell the definitive story now. Today. Not experiment with a dark gritty version where he and Batman murder people. The Snyder movies are not about the true DC heroes. They're bootlegs with strange, unknown characters who are dressed up as our favourite DC heroes. I think deep down everyone knows this.
>>
>>82373916

Smartphones and social media are to blame largely for this. People don't have the decency to actually go out and develop their own interests, tastes or personality but they'd rather just sit at home on their tablet or God knows what else and adopt a poorly manufactured one because it just so happens to be the current zeitgeist. And oh yes, don't forget that they just have to dye their hair a bright colour or have a shitty tattoo so that people will recognize how unique and special they are just because muh childhood series like Harry Potter told them they were.

I can only pray that they are resorting to shit like Capeshit and Star Wars as a coping mechanism means since I've noticed these same people are the ones who are thousands and thousands of whatever their own currency is in debt. Oh, you're struggling to pay off rent and support your family? Don't worry about that. Go and see the latest Capeshit movie, remember to tell everyone else how much you loved it and what a nerd you are.

I wonder how this behaviour will affect their offspring considering if they are pushing manufactured personalities onto them they are going to be so god damn screwed in the head when they get older.

No, that sentence does not explain what inherently makes comics for children.

It explains why the edgy joker face is still part of children's entertainment because it was written to cather to the edgy preteen/teen crowd that they want to keep as readers in opposition to the obviously childish plots from Superman and otherwise.
We could argue about graphic novels, but comics are inherently children's/teenager's entertainment.
But don't worry. It's okay if you enjoy it, you don't need to make comics be any deeper than they are just to hide your insecurity.

>It explains why the edgy joker face is still part of children's entertainment because it was written to cather to the edgy preteen/teen crowd

You could argue this with anything. "Sure, this hardcore snuff pornography SEEMS as though it's made for adults, but there are actually a lot of edgy teenagers out there who loves this stuff!"

Superman is L I T E R A L L Y a Jewish supremacist fantasy that turns Samson into an alien who is better than EVERY OTHER LIVING HUMAN because he is from a SPECIAL RACE and SPECIAL PLACE. The "noble Jew" trope is absurd at its core because of the rationalizations and excuses the Jew is required to make of himself in order to lord over others. There is no Krypton, and Jew Superman would absolutely kill everyone.

Yeah, and they all are just product of strawmanship.
There's no superiority, Superman is average guy, which happens to have power to do what others can't to serve justice when corrupt laws can't. He is also bulletproof because father of one of Superman's creators was shot to death.

You really need to be a fucking edgelord to agree with Jodorowsky and Moore's opinions, Inarritu is just a hack, Guinness was too old for this shit, Pegg is just paranoid, and Lucas and Friedkin are just butthurt. I only respect Cronenberg, but he is actually being kind of blind here. Still, I agree nerd culture is no art at all, but there are aspects of it that can be discussed as art

>“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

>Tolkien was bothered by the tales’ inconsistent use of mythological figures. Characters from classical myth are scattered through the stories, alongside figures from modern folklore and kiddie lit. He couldn’t see how a story could feature both fauns and Father Christmas, dryads and dragons, Baachus and Beatrix Potter-type talking animals. It was all too derivative, too contrived, too much of a poorly conceived, partially thought-out mishmash.

>Furthermore, Tolkien didn’t share Lewis’s love of children’s literature as such. While Tolkien appreciated fairy tales and myth, he didn’t think they should be relegated to literature for children. He disliked dream tricks (as Lewis used in The Great Divorce) to transport people into alternate worlds, and he mistrusted magical literary devices in which children popped into other worlds through mirrors, wardrobes, or rabbit holes.

>In short, Tolkien took myth more seriously. He built his alternative world from the ground up. Beginning with the language of the elves, Tolkien created the race that spoke the language, then conceived and carefully created not only the other races and their languages, but the whole world in which they lived, complete with its geography, history, and comprehensive myth. Tolkien may have been scornful of the rapidity and ease with which Lewis created his stories, but he was so not simply because the works were produced quickly, but because it showed

>Tolkien’s real objections to Narnia, however, run deeper. Tolkien disliked allegory, and the Narnia tales were too allegorical for his taste. Lewis protested that they were not an allegory (he had already written an allegory in his Pilgrim’s Regress) but an analogy. While it is true that the characters in Narnia do not have a one-to-one allegorical relationship with abstract truths, they do point clearly to greater truths and greater characters in the Christian story. Tolkien objected

But there are so many different incarnations of those characters, snyder just added to that roster. Batman used to be seen as campy before frank miller and Alan moore came along, and those are widely considered to be the best batman stories of all time. So batman should be turned into a campy joke because that's what the original entails?

Seems to me that you're just upset that Snyder didn't give you the incarnation of batman that YOU wanted instead of his vision. And that's a point he makes in the film.

No. Snyder merely went back to their original characterizations before the Comics Code ruined them.

Books are pseudo intellectual garbage most of the time.
So is a lot of 'film'.

Anyone here would rather watch Batman punch 12 armed men in a warehouse than 2 minutes of scenic wilderness with sparse piano in the background .

You have no idea what the essence of Superman is. The core of his character is to be a "champion of the oppressed" not a big blue boyscout.

That is entirely dependent on my mood but 2 minutes of scenic wilderness sounds good right about now.

Superhero movies are for brainlets unable to do anything by themselves and so need fantastical idols to look up to

Different anon but I do see his point, I think.

Obviously the examples he use seem baity (considering the source of the batman example divides any board it's posted on) but it's worth considering what the intent is of the pieces.

Two minutes of scenery is simply documenting a moment they director encountered. CAN it be worth it in a larger film? Depends what the intent was. If it was just to build the scene, or just for the sake of being a beautiful scene splitter there are other ways to do so. Being "beautiful" for beauty's sake isn't inherently bad or good but it isn't certain that it's necessary or most-effective.

Many "auteurs" become needlessly self-indulgent and faux-intellectuals fall for it hook line and sinker because its pretty or "thoughtful".

Iñárritu's quote particularly shows a fundamental disagreement in what people should be looking for in movies.

It's more like.. talented individuals with unique abilities but extremely exaggerated, with a strong message of individualism. Spiderman is unique to Iron Man, who is unique to Ant Man etc.. all specialists in their field. It teaches kids that we are all different and unique.

>>82380356
And to strive for greatness and do good deeds.

>>82380356
Except it actually teaches kids to rely on others. Don't worry, the capeshits will save you from trouble!

Where's my fucking Goon movi
>>
>>82372406
>How do we save film?
by not watching capeshit, Star Wars, Transformers etc.

which isn't going to happen because those types of movies are what normies love. even here on /tv/ those movies are highly popular.

When you have to classify that one form of escapism is better or worst then another form, then the whole system becomes moot.

If you, as a viewer look down your nose at any other form of genre of film, or books or even game (board, video, table top, ect) then nothing objectively can ever be art.

Setting a line in the sand makes the the rules arbitrary, so then there are no rules anymore. What makes your movies better then another's movie? Your opinion? That isn't a good guideline for me, I have a whole set of life experiences that change how i view things, so do you. So what makes you the authority? Nothing that's what, so take all your handwave meme arguments and take a walk.

Enjoy what you want and stop acting like other peoples enjoyment hurts you in any other way then hurting your feeling, go back to tumblr and write a blog about it.

Well you're meant to be inserting yourself into your favourite one. Like we do with our favourite athletes/ action hero. You don't watch a Tom Cruise movie and see yourself in an extra's perspective.

When did Pegg got redpilled? He used to be defensive about nerdy shit.
>>
>>82372406
Honestly we should eliminate media from our lives. Art films are the same thing as capeshit. It's equally escapist and boring. A movie about a fake drug addict washed up actor or some shit is about as applicable to humanity as a story about Superduperman fighting Major Evil. I don't give a shit about either of them and nobody should because they're not real and fuck caring about paracosms. Imagination is a mistake we should divorce ourselves from because all this garbage and how it's all the same has really shown us its limits.

>"champion of the oppressed"
Literally is impossible to better embody the parasitic Jewish psyche, by naming yourself King of Victims and giving yourself a nobility to excuse your acts of exclusion and various conquests. Almost every aspect of the conflict within justice League stories is the rest of the team dealing with Superman's innate superiority, ie the Jews continued claim of God's favor.

Not at all. He's not saying it's not ok to be a nerd. He's calling out the newfound social acceptability of nerds as a marketing ploy by big companies who found pandering to this particularly small demographic had massive returns because of loyalty. So the demographic grew to such a point where its own definition doesn't even make sense anymore, which is either a sign that there's a lot of people pretending to be nerds for cool points (except the money they're spending on capeshit is pretty real) or a generation of adults has effectively become infantilized across the board.

He's not saying there shouldn't be a Superman movie, he's saying it's a bad sign that it's the biggest box office hit ever.

How so? How is it any different from any number of pop films shat out by hollywood?

All the quotes in the OP seem to me that people are angry and jealous because their dull treatises on the human condition aren't doing so well as a guy who shoots lasers out of his ass demolishing a faceless horde of robots

'Nerd culture' has never been anything other than consumerism. It just used to be a niche market rather than mainstream.

I know its a pasta, but hasn't Simon Pegg appeared in god knows how many "nerd culture" movies?
>>
>>82382147
Nerd Culture isn't the same as the one he himself grew up with. It is more socially acceptable to be a "nerd" or to wear it on your sleeve, but the level of obsession people have at the core level that used to be a massive part of that niche are not. What was a majority is now a minority.

It's like people wearing Flash t-shirts and going to see every cape flick or knowing all the Harry Potter houses and shit. It's all entry level shit. These are the people that fall for the larger marketing ploys and have been exploited to hell and back for profit. They're exactly sports fans. It becomes a matter of personal attachment and undying loyalty. Which is more of a knock on nerd culture, because at least sports have some smaller scale patriotism attached to them.

Based directors
Save film by saving your money, and seeing a few select movies per year. It'll cut down on the amount of shit that's out that makes bank(Fast&Furious franchise), and it'll cause studios to rethink their approach on storytelling.
I dunno, I'm pretty stoned right now, so I'm probably not making sense.

The sports fan thing is very apt. Coming from the north east you get a lot of fair weather fans. People who LOVEEEE the Bosox or Yankees but can't name 6 players they field on a daily basis.

Capeshit, Star Wars, etc., they're all escapism. We live in an extremely chaotic time. Having something mind numbing in theaters helps to alleviate the pains of the everyday life. That, and the ongoing regression of the human mind doesn't help fix the situation.
