MCU hate has got to be the most pedestrian opinion in all of film discussion. There is no good faith argument about the MCU being bad for cinema or objectively terrible in and of themselves. At worst they're generic and yet people obsess over letting everyone know they hate the MCU. Even RLM, the normiest of normie film reviewrs, love shitting on superhero films despite liking most of them anyway. You ask anyone who hates the MCU and their own taste is usually surface level interest in arthouse, never straying too far from recognizable foreign names and watching mostly English language films.
It reeks of letterboxd narcissism to voice hate for the MCU and capeshit; more so when it's always about who watches capeshit instead of about the movies themselves. People who like the MCU usually end up having pretty unique tastes, even if it's all mainstream stuff, which is more than I can say about all the faggots on twitter and other such film corners of the internet who share the same capeshit jokes and all love the same twenty movies. Oh wow, The Sacrifice instead of Andrei Rublev in your top 10 movies, how very brave. What a surprise, Godard, Kurosawa, and Lynch among your favorite directors. Maybe... just maybe... you're hip enough to have Chunking Express somewhere up there. Shit is so boring.
>MCU fans have unique tastes I call fucken bullshit, mcu fans are soys and women. Casual viewers like average joes who just want mindless comedy. If you asked them for any details about characters or plot you would get no answer, Most wouldn't even remember captain americas name.
>131982415 Goslingkino > > > MCUshit No bump either faggot
Parker Nelson
It's just the "modern" version of saying justin bieber is shit, "better love story than twilight" and that Bay is garbage plebs that want you to believe they have taste while still watching the same low IQ pleb garbage from something else
Ryder Wood
He's right. MCU fans and normies have unique tastes, not OBSCURE tastes but unique. You ask one guy and he'll like everything from Nolan and FIncher, the Reddit package shit. But you ask another MCU fan and he'll like a bunch of John Hughes movies and gush about stuff like Star Wars and Indiana Jones. These would all be considered normie movies, but not all normies share the same tastes. You ask anyone on the film portion of Twitter and it's literally all the same movies. Lady Bird, Hereditary, Mulholland Drive, Wes Anderson, etc. Because those are the "correct" movies to like The MCU is "incorrect" to like.

>Goslingkino yikes, go back
Jeremiah Watson
GotG2 is the best movie in the mcu and rocket is based. *dabs*

Yas Forums loves the MCU. They're just like RLM, people here act like they don't, but every MCU movie gets a billion threads and ultimately discussion about what happened inside
There were a billion "why didn't Thanos just make more resources" threads.
Jose Hill
>different normie fags parrot reddit sometimes = unique taste hahaha ok
Benjamin Evans
you sound way more like Reddit than anyone in this thread. Makes sense that you would hate the MCU.
Carson Hall
Go to bed, you're drunk
Nathan Miller
reddit loves the mcu tho. And the dceu. They eat capeshit up like crazy.
why does that chart just look like a shittier version of the reddit one
Ryder Barnes
He's right at home. You go.
Robert Brown
OP is right. The letterboxd thread on Yas Forums proves it. It's always filled with faggots and attention seeking gays.
Isaiah Jones
could you imagine waking up every day, and having to go through life as retarded as this poor soul
you're unironically claiming that liking the most popular movie franchise in history is a predictor of unique taste. I legitimately feel bad for you
Xavier Sullivan
unique is not obscure, BTS is incredibly popular and I'd say BTS fans have unique tastes over say people who listen to Death Grips.
Adrian Gomez
So the set of all things liked by the hundred million plus people who watch MCU movies is bigger than the set of things liked by the relatively minuscule cohort of people who self select based on specific shared taste?
This analysis is bad for a lot of reasons. First, the size of the sets whose union your taking are wildly disproportionate, and unions are almost certain to grow linearly with the number of elements they're taken over. Second, as I mention above, one group is already self selecting based on shared taste, whereas the other likes a thing known best for its mass appeal. It's like saying fratstars have more diverse taste in wine than sommeliers. while it might technicallly be true it doesn't really mean anything, and certainly isn't a statement in favor of the former's taste. Third and finally, there's a subtle presumption that diverse taste is a ubiquitously positive thing. While I support the detractors of a critical monoculture, I think that critical consensus typically exists for good reason. While there are both negative and positive exceptions, I think that arguing that MCU is better art than the work of Bresson or Kurosawa is pretty dumb for a lot of obvious reasons.
So anyway, I think that's a sorta specious argument that doesn't even really support the point it claims to.
Wyatt Barnes
yes? It's... statistics. A group of people who like something niche would not have unique tastes because all other people in that group like the same things.
Imagine a circle. Everything inside that circle likes the MCU, therefore the circle is HUGE. It encompasses so much that there are bound to be different demographics of people in that circle. Everyone who likes A24 films shares the same tastes with people who like A24 films.
Robert Wood
Capeshit and blockbuster chasing ruined film.
Connor Reyes
It ruined the likes of movies like the 40 Year Old Virgin, so if that is peak cinema for you then sure
Blake Brooks
I mean yeah, it kinda seems definitional to me too, but people in the thread keep saying it as if it supports the notion that marvel fans are actually this brilliant and diverse cohort and not just morons who happen to like the same lowest common denominator garbage so I don't really know what to say.
>At worst they're generic No, at worst they're iredeemably bad from both an aesthetic and thematic standpoint At BEST they're generic
Brandon Williams
this, they are the rotting corpse of the American aesthetic gestalt.
Sebastian Reyes
Yas Forums cannot fathom why people enjoy movies that prioritize entertainment. The MCU has more depth than it's given credit for and hollywood has been failing at making similar expanded universes since Avengers. Going into a big budget marvel movie and expecting proper cinema is retarded. Imagine being so autistic that you have to "turn your brain off" to follow a movie.
Blake Johnson
imagine not having to turn your brain off to enjoy a marvel movie. you'd have to be so dumb that you'd go and brag about it on a basket weaving forum for the mentally ill
Robert Brooks
Follow=/= Enjoy.
Jackson Lopez
>The MCU has more depth than it's given credit for and hollywood has been failing at making similar expanded universes since Avengers people really do ignore this point
Lucas Clark
>iredeemably bad there is a 200% chance that your own taste in film is normie as fuck
>coen brothers >wong kar wai >coppola OP read you like a book
Joshua Wright
>No Country for Old Men >A Serious Man >Apocalypse Now >Conan >Mulholland Drive >any Welles >a bunch of 'cult classics' This looks like a list every male film 101 student on letterboxd would make.
Jeremiah Gonzalez
marvel capeshit can't even compete with chink capeshit, so i don't think their fans have any leg to stand on
Anything that went through audience test screening is pure shit.
Jacob Turner
based and new hollywoodpilled
Lincoln Price
>single color scene compositions are soooooo kino how boring
Jacob Richardson
not an argument
Noah Kelly
wasn't even making an argument, I was making a statement. What you consider kino is surface level shit.
Owen Sanchez
Do you, by any chance, write reviews on imdb, tomateos, reddit and other critic shitfests? Yas Forums is not a critic place. You are in the wrong neighborhood, motherfucker
that's sorta what you do when someone says something that dumb
Tyler Morgan
Ok but it’s not cinema.
Juan Torres
Filtered by elitism
Luis Parker
>Yas Forums is not a critic place gay and Yas Forumspilled
William Hall
No, there wasn't. Stop deluding yourself, you ironically sound like a communist
Michael Smith
>basing a defense entirely on 'yeah but we have cool taste'
This is how I know you're a faggot who never understood film in the first place. It's not a candy bar or your next dark lord edge of war vidya. Its quality cannot be determined by 'taste'
Asher Garcia
elitism would be posting a chart with stuff like Tabu, The Passion of Joan of Arc, Twenty Years Later, Yi Yi, Diary of a Country Priest
Movies I love alongside Captain America Winter Soldier
Nathan Russell
tits too small
Liam King
Look we get it, you love lynch films and post capeshit jokes on twitter
James Rivera
Actual retarded imbecile who got filtered by Peckinpah and Altman
Elijah Mitchell
I don't even have a Twitter you limp dick faggot. Try having a better angle next time than attacking personality. You cannot refute that the Marvel flicks are product of a focus group approved committee directed to an infantile audience. Your 'movies' and your culture have stagnated modern optics, film standards and sociocultural perception of mass media in the current era. Now, every philistine can believe that they're actually passionate in film.
