How is this acceptable? If you break them down the formula is

general audiences legitimately do not give a shit

can you really blame parents and wagecucks for wanting 2 hours of light entertainment to escape from their shitty, boring lives

now, what you really have to ask is why critics are so complicit in this

Here's why it's possible

Because the movies are fun and the only reason to go to the cinema anymore.

Not rocket science.

Know why Lex wasn't bald for most of BvS? Having a bald guy manipulating everyone and who's more interested in marketing heroes than letting them actually be heroic would have been a little too on the nose.

Since when were "escaping into fantasy land" not avalible since these kind of movies came up? This shit killed creativity and diversity.
Funny , before superhero movies were this much mainstream they had more style and characteristics.
Burtons Batman, Raimis Spider man, the first X-men.

Now it became a blend of every shitty "universe" where different characters obviously don't have enough screentime that you can actually feel something for them. Stakes always huge but resolve is empty.

If you ever saw a superhero movie even the raimi Spider Men

You're to blame

right, but what studios have discovered is that audiences don't actually care about any of those qualities you mentioned. as long as it features the proper blend of "comedy" and "action" and the same characters/actors they know and love, they'll go see literally anything.

lol okay Joseph Campbell

The thing I can't understand is how someone can watch something so formulatic / predictable and bland for years and years. It's almost like brainwashing. Funny that if you ever mention this to someone who is an avid superhero movie fan he will lose his shit.

If you watch something that always does the same thing you are not necessarily stupid but you sure have shit taste for movies.

it's fanboyism and nerd culture. their internal critical bias prevents them from objectively analyzing the movie. and again, if they're legitimately enjoying it, who are we to judge?

White people are killing cinema

It tells something about society where the most popular movies are the ones that are dumbed down the most. A formulatic sequences of action and comedy as you mentioned.
0 props in many cases, cgi everything. It's soulless. I can understand watching one or two once in a while like Logan that tries to be a little bit different.

This isn't meant for kids because they are easily manipulable but young adults.
I get it, but there is still something not 100% healthy with you if you are a fan of this.

it's the same deal with adults fawning over fucking Pixar movies and Disney musicals. somehow adults have become increasingly infantalized and overtaken by nostalgia in recent years, especially with regards to film.

Well said. I would love to know that from a physiological standpoint how does this affect a person.
