/siberia/ - Off-topic

I wrote some long post about superhero comics months ago that I can't bother repeating
But all those "what if's" about the US comics industry, what if the Comics Code Authority wasn't a thing, what if EC and a lot of crime and horror comics weren't killed off, what if [something copying Japan], what if this or that
None of that matters. War and horror comics, anthologies, romance comics, funny animals etc all still went on for decades and got supported by the bigger publishers. Marvel practically introduced a generation to Conan and probably directly influenced the modern imagination of him in fur loincloths. There was a boom in indie comics in the 80's, black and white the way weebs wanted it.
Superheroes still won. The American consumer chose what they wanted. Anyways call me a manchild for thinking about this.

? thats exactly what op is saying

Oppenheimer is the 'upper end' of current popular cinema which really says all you need to know about what'll be stomached

Am I not allowed to add to OP's thoughts with my own even if we already agree? God forbid a uygha ponders a bit

This OP sounds like a typical pretentious pseudo intellectual.

Bruh. There are thousands of critique videos/essays whining about any and every popular movie out there.
If I had a dollar for every time I had to hear someone with the same sentiment as yours, it would be enough to pay out ten student loans

Analytics are the issue. Studios didn't get to know the bare minimum effort needed to be successful until the core web formed and made that information trivial to collect.

The imminent decay of the core web could mean the bar is fuzzier and thus directors and writers may be allowed to get more experimental.

People are never satisfied.
Anytime studios get experimental, they're accused of being tryhards

but I don't like editing videos or speaking

I'm friends with a lot of new gen film students and almost every one when prompted said they just watch movies for entertainment and nothing more. Never to learn anything and I clarified several times. People don't even engage with the content or message.

It's why retards whose brains were fried by short form content prefer the new Blade Runner to the original, or fall asleep during the Godfather, or can't watch The Wire, etc. They're also entertaining of course but the average idiot who adds to TV ratings/box office revenues is only engaging with the most surface level aspects of what they're watching. The type of people to complain about not relating to the characters of Anna Karenina.

The whole industry is like some human centipede thing now.

Movies are longer than ever with less to say. I miss the days of a tight 90 minutes.
