I'm honestly sick of the subversion of expectations, corporatizing and forced quirkiness of media nowadays. Everything is "how to get something to trend", "how to be relatable" and all.

Like, I don't WANT protagonists to be a Gen Z younger guy or girl. I don't want the protagonist to be making Marvel style quips or having a GOTG soundtrack. I don't want everything to be edgy or Irreverent.

I don't know how to explain it but one movie that comes to mind is Braveheart. It isn't trying to be witty and Irreverent but it's just a movie that tells the story of a man standing up to tyranny. Sure it deals with real history but it's a movie anyone can relate to. William Wallace doesn't feel like a self insert, but a mythological figure. The soundtrack isn't (insert 80s pop tune) but a grand and serious score by the amazing James Horner (miss him).

Or Rocky. Sure it has Christian themes (sad that religion is now political) but it's a movie about being the best you can be not for others but yourself, pushing yourself and proving people wrong your own way. Rocky isn't trying to make quips or lighten the mood.

I miss authenticity man. I miss it when not everything was trying to be James Gunn humor or Eric Kripke shock. I miss when movies inspired us, made us feel something.

You mean to tell me this franchise that is basically a gore fest and horrific.... has a whimsical PG-13 (yes it's rated R but come on the MPAA rated that R out of spite the movie is tame) dark fantasy adventure movie set in Medieval Europe and makes a bunch of sick action one liners and is a giga chad? Like what?

It feels so out of place compared to both the earlier and later movies (especially the dark gore heavy modern entries), but I fucking love it. It was my first Evil Dead movie as a kid, and Ash was (is) the coolest horror protagonist outside of Leon Kennedy and Chris Redfield.

Imagine going back in time in 1981 and telling someone "yeah this movie with tree raping has a the samee dude go to Medieval Europe fight monsters and you can watch it with your kids".

3 of their most iconic characters are gone, the entire season ended, why the heck would they do spin offs now? Vought Rising kinda makes sense it's a prequel but it's clear we're probably going to get post Season 5 Soldier Boy based on the ending, The Boys Mexico makes no sense, what will happen?

Also I love how >!The Deep's Death implies that the Kraken exists in The Boys, no real life Octopus could get that big. !<

These guys preach out about how they love how the latest Superman movie is about kindness and tolerance yet they're eager to trash on anyone with criticisms of the movie or people who don't see Gunn as the second coming of Christ. Let's also not forget these are the same people who didn't show any sympathy to the death of Charlie Kirk, and will blatantly discriminate against Israeli people due to Israeli Palestine situation and the movie's naive view on the conflict (regardless of your thoughts on the matter, you don't just shit on people who happen to be from a country, that's called discrimination, that's like being racist towards Chinese or Russian people due to their government's actions.).

It really corny too, I can't take any of it seriously either. These people spent years saying how awful we are and that we're satan's hellspawn themselves and now they wanna preach love and kindness? Piss off

I've often seen so many articles and all about the X-Men being political allegories for civil rights and how we can't enjoy it but here's the main freaking problem: Mutants can genuinely cause danger. You don't even need a freaking omega level mutant to cite as an example.

- Scott Summers could just fuck around and blast an entire city block because he feels like it

- Wolverine could go on a killing spree and no one could stop him

- I mean fucking Jubilee could just launch a crap ton of fireworks in the sky and cause hundreds of planes to crash.

In other words, humans have a right to be afraid of mutants, and even the freaking comics prove them right countless times.

Which why their shitty all art is political framework doesn't work: The fictional world doesn't mix well with the real world. Fiction operates in a different framework as reality does. Oftentimes they like to cite how Superman would stop Israel or the Punisher would hate ICE. Yet these stories are told from the modernized leftist viewpoint and rid them of any nuance. Would Superman support Palestine after October 7th? Would the Punisher stop ICE after the murder of Laken Riley. They think the world is so black and white.

Leftists can't pull the "Bond has always been woke"

• Ex Military turned MI6 agent
• Deeply patriotic
• Patriarchal and traditional
• Treats women as things to be used and sexualizes them
• Literally a blunt instrument for Britain and foreign policy
• White masculine protagonist who's handsome and fights hard
