No duh, I enjoy all types of art. I'm someone who enjoys plenty of dumb shit seeing that I'm on a Toku forum after all. I'm personally tied of the MCU, Pixar, etc. being considered to be the end of the be all of cinema. Not to mention, I'm sick of movies trying to copy off of MCU's style. Not every superhero or big budget movie needs to be upbeat with dumb jokes mixed into the movie. I'm not saying every movie needs to be dark and edgy. You can have a fun upbeat movie without trying to copy off of MCU.

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.

You also have the casual people who like to bash on high art movies too. They are just as bad as the film snobs. After all, two wrongs don't make a right. I do agree with Martin Scorses that the MCU are just pop corn flicks and nothing more. You also have people like David Cronenberg and Terry Gilliam that also feels the same way. Hollywood needs more variety like they used too. Most movies these days are superhero movies, sequels to older movies aka nostalgia money gabs, bad romantic comedies, and other big budget movies based on children's franchises (Transformers).

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.

There's no right or wrong answer here but people blow this shit out of proportion

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.
