My biggest issues with the MCU is that they are almost always allergic to actually talking about serious subject matter in a way that doesn’t feel like it was watered down for the Disney Channel. When watching these movies, I never feel like that I care what was going on. That's why I started to lose interest with these movies after Civil War. The comics handle their themes and stories better in my opinion. Quote:
Arthouse movies. Nowadays it's mostly indie movies and movies made by acclaimed directors. Mainstream movies are considered garbage by people who loves these type of films. Remember the whole Martin Scorsese hates Marvel fiasco? That's basically it. They're fantastic movies, but I'll be lying if there weren't some pretentious bullshit and snobbery stemming from those kind of movies and audiences. Especially the film snobs. Being a pop corn flick is not always a good excuse in my opinion. Movies like Terminator 2, Death Wish 3, the first two Predator movies, Ronin, etc. are pop corn flicks and I consider them to be better than all the MCU movies in my opinion. Quote:
The thing with this discussion is that both sides tend to be fucking morons, MCU movies are basically popcorn movies, you watch them for fun and enjoy the ride, which is perfectly fine, some people prefer movies that want deep messages with truly fancy camera work and whatnot, they're also perfectly fine. There's no right or wrong answer here but people blow this shit out of proportion

Modern popcorn flicks peaked at Pacific Rim. Everyone's favorite movie of all time is at least 10 years old now because movies back then weren't so concerned about becoming trilogies, selling merch, or systematically winning oscars.

So high cinema is just a figure of speech?

I totally agree. Let people enjoy what they like (unless it's something dangerous or illegal). I honestly hated when you have MCU fans that try to review bomb The Irishman because they didn't like his opinion on the MCU. You can easily ignore his opinion and carry on with your life.

People seem to have this kneejerk reaction against things they don't agree with, not just movies, before even giving it a chance. I don't exactly know what that's supposed to say about internet culture but it's pretty disappointing.

They did put effort. Early MCUs are critizied for having weak villains, and phase 3 is where they start making villains more nuanced. Character developments are plenty in these movies.
