I have friends whose parents were super into comics and therefore got them into it. If that's true for most of the people going to see these films, they've been trained by Marvel and Disney and their own parents to associate superheroes and comic books with the pleasures and innocence of their childhood.
They're not going to see capeshit because it's good, but because it triggers an immensely powerful Pavlovian Response.

For people who just found this stuff on their own, I assume it tracks the same for them as it does for weebs--wish fulfillment mixed with thin, understandable characters and drama plus action.

>implying we all wont be vaporized by Oppenheimer’s Light in the span of hours

Why do people like animeshit? I don't get it. Explain it to me.

Fucking beautiful

the only noteworthy audience reaction from my viewing was the guy a few rows behind me who said "oh great it's the nigger" whenever Black Panther showed up

Tell me your theather so I can move and live there.

I don't actually like it. I just love anime reaction images

Why do you care about how other people react to media they enjoy? Hell, why do you care what other people do at all?

>It's not that people can't enjoy something they love--I would never want to take that away from them.
>But the issue, in my opinion, is that there's more out there than Marvel movies and Star Wars. Thirty years ago, people would get exposed to all kinds of random shit because the film industry wasn't just pumping out films like Model T's off a Fordian assembly line. That's not to say you didn't have empty, soulless cash grabs or dumb movies, but it was easier to get away from, and people were also generally expected to evolve their tastes as they got older.
>Now, though, superhero shit is everywhere, and because it's easily digestible and colorful and fun for the largest number of people, it becomes almost a universal entity. I would almost guarantee you can't walk down a main street in America right now without seeing some thirty year-old in a Captain America t-shirt or some other superhero merch.
>Same goes for shit like Star Wars, Rick and Morty, Harry Potter--did you know people propose, real adult human beings, propose to each other at Harry Potter world?
>You can like what you like, obviously. But eventually you have to expand your tastes. Read different books, watch movies other than the franchises you've known since you were a kid.

There's other shit out there, and you might like it, but if you never try, you never know.

Don't know why it formatted that way, apologies

please be real

I can see the validity in your point. I guess it's just a matter of evenly distributing the interest of people. But when it becomes so convoluted and only involved in a few franchises the other lesser known franchises that are also as good, miss out. To be honest, I never viewed it that way. Well said.

Please name movies and books that got a genuine emotional response from you.

I need a good laugh.

It's the latest fad, and humans are phone social creatures who'll force themselves to like what's trending now to fit in.

Because it's 100% better and more wholesome than all the kiked shit mainstream western media forces onto the masses today

Ha

>They pretend to like it cause it’s popular
>DAH JEEEWWWWSSS
Seek help

That would be great actually. Even if we lost we'd only be left with the strong.

>>They pretend to like it cause it’s popular
are you implying people dont do this? seek help.

Well, I really like the film Whiplash. Probably one of my favorites in a long time, and maybe one of the best cinematic depictions of passion and desire in a performative/artistic context I've ever seen.

I've been reading a lot of Russian classic novels recently--Death of Ivan Ilyich, Crime and Punishment, etc. Those have their ebbs and flows, but I can usually get pretty into them.

Again, for me the criticism isn't levied so much against what people like as how much of it they're consuming. I look at it like a regular diet--obviously, you can have cookies and cake every once in a while. But if that's all you eat, you're gonna make yourself sick.

>People my age--early twenties

When you grow up you'll stop giving as much of a shit about how other people act. You're still in the highschool phase, you'll grow out of it soon.

None.

What terrible stock fake young adult preferences, you really go out of your way to seem as falsely pedantic as possible, huh?

I’m sure one day you’ll get actual taste and grow up out of “Maturity”.

>When you grow up you'll stop giving as much of a shit about how other people act.

LMAO.

No. You will worry even more than you do today. Ir's part of growing up watching everybody shit on your legacy.

You sound really, really lonely.

And you sound like a shill.

Discovering that most people are morons has two reaction phases.
Reaction 1) you laugh because you're smarter than most people.
Reaction 2) you cry because you're smarter than most people.

It's funny really, in an era of people whining about being persecuted minorities, you will genuinely be a persecuted minority and if you try to explain this to people they will just look at you like you are insane.

society killed religion, so now capeshit is our new mythos. its all so tiresome...

I'm an adult male who hasn't watched a single superhero movie. you may think this makes me better than you. I happen to agree.

>I'm OP and I'm such a cool manly man that I don't cry while watching movies

I genuinely feel sorry for you, OP. One cannot appreciate kino unless you give yourself completely to the experience and allow it to deliver the emotion with no resistance. If you don't do this you are a pleb, end of story. You can appreciate art on a technical level but ultimately the real value of all art is in the emotional response it induces. There's no shame in it. I'm not a pussy but I do cry from a lot of movies, even documentaries, shorts and even a couple of songs under the rare right conditions. This is because I'm it a pleb and also not an insecure faggot with low emotional intelligence. Literally you can choose whether or not to cry or be emotionally invested in a movie, but if you choose not to you're ruining the experience for yourself.

Why do you care? If you're such a onions drinking little faggot that you actually get upset about people that feel differently than you, then you unironically should kill yourself.

There's no way a beta who comes to rant on Yea Forums about capeshit is going to survive in the real world.

>I know these films are for kids
/thread

i think people like you are not aware that stupid stories like these were NOT mainstream even two decades ago. fictional characters with fantastic powers were for children or schlock.

granted that fandom and bandwagoning is playing a huge role: the characters and stories were still around most people through THEIR WHOLE LIVES while some here just are watching the end of some train wreck

the entire OP is just stating: i'm ignorant

Not even original superman or batman ? And every action movie is basically a superhero movie .

Posting this from a baleeted bread. This kind of fanatism is only the beginning.

are you brazilian? this is what the retards here did

all clapping, cheering, YOOOHOOOing, crying when muh tony died, etc

These capeshit movies have no soul. You can't sense anything besides fantastical emptiness from these movies. Like it if you want, its just a money husk. But who cares? These movies drain me.

I had to really put in an not to shed a single manly tear at a couple points in the movie.

I'm a cold hard son of a bitch, so I can imagine people getting touched by this. If you don't feel anything IDK, you're more concerned about judging other people than getting into the experience?

While this user makes a good point, I respectfully disagree with him. I think people like capeshit because of power. They're all in the rat race. They don't really plan for careers or anything, and spend all their spare time consuming. They don't have much self-confidence either. It's quite popular for people to pretend to have mental issues, because people with issues are treated better, and less is expected of them; they get more sympathy, for less work. The idea of an average joe escaping from all of that, and becoming godlike is going to appeal to them. Life suddenly becomes a game. You don't have to work as a cashier at target anymore. Laws are a suggestion more than anything else, and you can disregard them at will. You're the highest power now. But most of all, you have an inherent, permanent value that is completely intrinsic to you. There are two types of value: that which is earned, and that which is intrinsic. The two can be described with an analogy to sex. Women have intrinsic value; they can have children. But men aren't. They need to work to create value for themselves. Modern society has very little outlet for earned value. Furthermore, it is shunned, and that path is outright hidden from the masses. (intrinsic value is all but non-existent in modern society from a socio-economic perspective) To the average person, being invincible, punching through walls, having magic powers, and the like is essentially giving them intrinsic value. It validates them. It says "You are worth something. People who don't respect you will regret it."

Delusional

Based and Yea Forums-pilled. What's the theater equivalent of jannies?

I honestly don't mind some clapping. It makes some scenes feel a bit more hype. But the amount of clapping was pretty annoying in this film. Same with the laughs.

>What did you do?
>I aimed for the head.
>*audience laughs*

What the fuck? That wasn't supposed to be funny. Thor just murdered Thanos. Someone is covered in his blood. It was Thor keeping his promise. WHY FUCKING LAUGH.

The Greatest Story Never Told and Downfall do it for me.

OP's pic, the Tragedy of Man.

tl;dr?

I'm not saying you can't cry at movies, or that you shouldn't allow art to trigger a genuine emotional experience. I'm not even saying that you can't cry at Marvel movies. People like what they like, that's fine, I stated that in the OP.

My issue and my fear, like I've said throughout this thread, is that content like Endgame is becoming so ubiquitous because of how easy it is to create and to consume, therefore lowering collective emotional intelligence across the board.

Think of how many shows/movies have come out in the past five years or so centering around graphic novels or based around quirky superheroes or people with powers.

If someone really wanted to, they could just spend all their time watching those shows. Isn't that a little sad? We live in a day and age where some of the greatest films, works of art, books, poems, pieces of music, all of it, plus a lot of really great new shit that's always coming out, is accessible through the internet to the largest amount of people ever.

But instead, we're slowly being trained to gravitate towards less and less complex stories and themes. Instead, let's just give everyone another superhero movie/show/book about someone struggling with responsiblity, absent parental figures, the moral ambiguity of their actions--which is never really explored in ANY of the Marvel films, as much as they try to bill movies like Civil War and Winter Soldier as deep and complex espionage thrillers.

Again, it's not what you consume, but how much of one thing and one thing only. It's not that hard to turn off the latest Marvel movie you may have already seen and pull up something else that you haven't. Something different from stuff you'd watch normally.

Or maybe it really is that hard.

I don't know. I might have cried at Stark's death, the first Iron Man was really important to me when I was a kid. I haven't had any interest in these movies since Iron Man 2 though, so I doubt the rest of the movie would have any impact on me.

Don't worry, in ten years no one will ever think about a superhero movie ever again. Outside of Iron Man, Avengers 1, and Infinity War, I really don't think that people will ever rewatch MCU movies. They're like plastic utensils.

I guess. I'm not trying to sound fire-and-brimstone and condemn these movies to oblivion. I think some of them are genuinely entertaining and fun.

But your plastic utensils comment is spot-on. That's what it feels like. People get so hyped for these films, and then right after it's on to the next one. It's weirdly depressing to see so much passion stirred up every year, only to be constantly reminded of how artificial and transient it is.

Things were going well on my theater only until fat thor cameod and some woman said "oh no give me my man back" and all the girls were agreeing and hollering and shit from there it was like a fever dream with people loudly whispering explanations of things that are happening real time and sobbing/shouting/clapping during the entire second half of the movie.

Heard a couple of people say oh God when the feminist power moment happened with Spiderman which caused me to lol

We get it.

You are all that loser friend who didnt get invited to see it with a group cause you are that one guy who doesnt enjoy anything since its popular. You over analyze a movie to the point where you are insufferable to talk to. Thinking you are the smartest person in the room yet the most cringe. I swear you are worst than Yea Forums. On a board to discuss movies but all you ever see is just pure hate on the thing you claim to enjoy yet can't shut the fuck up about. Its okay tho, Not everyone is meant to be liked. You just take that role in life.

I laughed at that because I was kinda stunned that they had a violent decapitation in a fucking marvel movie.

Isn't it weird that one of the biggest jokes in such a progressive movie with great and inspiring scenes of female empowerment is how fat and drunk and psychologically scarred a guy has become after suffering an immense amount of mental and physical trauma?

This is interesting. Is it based off of some sort of philosophy or sociology that I can look into?

Not sure if they’re called this at every kinoplex but at mine they’re called kinographers. They get free singles admission to all movies due to years of hard work in the popcorn mines.

>Please name movies and books that got a genuine emotional response from you.
Lord of the Rings.
Toy Story 3 back when I was starting college and the fuckers went for the throat with that goodbye scene with Andy and the toys
That's about it as far as full on bitch tears go.

I went with a friend and it was great. It was like a live show. From the fat couple next to us that snuck in chipotle, to the cross theater female discussion over whether Thor is still hot, to the verbal dispute that broke out over the girl power scene.

I kind of agree with you but also I see no reason to care what the general population likes to watch on TV. The world has always been full of plebs. The huge lowest common denominator audience can keep watching comic book movies forever, it doesn't affect me in any way. There are people that just listen to the same singer on repeat forever and no one else.

Every mcu flick is a soulless cash grab designed to sell toys and tickets. Typically there’s 30 mins of a good movie drowned in a 2hr sea of pedantic and derivative garbage.

I like superheroes but none of these movies are more than a 6/10

he is talking about the audience,learn to read.

Good answers. Give It's A Wonderful Life a watch next Christmas. No other films make me cry as much as these 3

Perfect analogy. These movies are one time use and technically unnecessary unless you are some kind of barbarian retard

You used the word “fun” to describe a mindless and soulless normie flick ya lost

Life is beautiful
Cinema Paradiso

Look faggot I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I “get it” you’re special. You’re enlightened and know everything and suffering under the weight of your own intelligence. You are above these movies because they are made for the lowest common denominator. Well yeah I’ve been there and done that but let me tell you a secret LITTLE BOY. Nobody likes a pissy pants. Whatever you want to hate normies on Yea Forums so be it. You need to vent your virgin incel frustration so be it. But when you become this guy in public with your family and friends well then they just hate you kek. They just think about how much of a faggot you are behind your back and stop inviting you places. Sure you’re special and enlightened but you’re always an annoying faggot that no one wants to be around. Be nice for once and just shut the fuck up. Please do us all a favor and just shut the fuck up

That's fair.

For me, the fear/care is both directed at the general population of consumers as well as the people who may eventually be making the stuff and how it affects them. I work at a university as a T.A. in the English Program--inb4 mememajor--and I've gotten to talk with a lot of the professors about the kind of behavioral changes they've seen in students and their work over the past decade or so. One of the most common trends according to them is that, back in the aughts, students had a wider array of fiction they could pull from to reference in discussion. It may have just been the stuff they read in high school, but it was still diverse enough to make the discourse more interesting and multi-faceted.

Now, however, that's slowly been eroded. Most kids--college-age--are using Harry Potter and Marvel as honest-to-God references, repeatedly, both in class discussion and in their papers. These are people who want to become writers--which, maybe some of them will--teachers, editors, literary agents. People who will be gears in the literary machine, one way or another, for decades to come. And their favorite book--not one of their favorites, their absolute number one favorite book--as a college student is Harry Potter.

Again, you can like what you like, and it's not like bringing in pop culture references once in a while to discussion in class is a bad thing--it's not, it helps create modern examples and tie things into the present day.

But if that's ALL you have to go on, it's such a limited view of what art/literature/film can be, and that's so despairing to me that people my age are going out into the world with such a limited view, again, especially in such an age where it just takes a quick search online to find older books or movies, or newer ones that don't belong to any big franchises.

Enjoy what you like, but seek out new stuff, especially if you're going to be working in a creative or instructional field.

Sure Is summer here. You mcu drones have ruined multiple boards and really need to be contained. Not everyone has to like your soulless drivel.

This is so sad to me. I don’t care if you like marvel but if they are your favorite movies then you probably haven’t expanded your horizons. Young adult fiction like Harry Potter is fine but they are far from good literature and it’s scary to me that people aren’t critically thinking and only consuming artless mass produced stuff. Shame

Criticism doesn't equate to hate. There's some stuff in the thread that's not exactly constructive, yeah, that's true. So you could choose to ignore those anons and respond to the ones who are making more leveled criticisms.

Or you could just sperg out, call people a faggot, and walk away from a day's hard work all done. Good job, great contribution to the discussion.

I don’t hate everything i just found the movie predictable and silly. 3 hrs was pretty pretentious considering the subject matter is about magic flying people fighting a purple man.

The fact that you are so ass blasted that a stranger didn’t care for a kids movie is telling. You need to reprioritize what is important in life and probably need to get laid.

Marvel babies everyone lol what a fag

Naw man. The OP and you spent 3 hours watching the "kid's movie" just the same as we did and nobody needs to justify shit to you.

Why don't you sit in on the next disney movie and rip that to shreds as well?

The fact that most people watching the movie were families with kids shows that nobody needs to get to laid either

wood b laff

Unfortunately, the real endgame is goyim slavery. And Endgame is proof of indoctrination. Disney is replacing Christianity with commercial meta-religion, cineplex over church.

Understand that Disney spends more on social engineering and subliminal marketing than on the movies they release. Iger bought Star Wars because it's a massive property but also so no studio could launch a competing meta-religion against their Marvel uni. Realize that at this level you're not dealing with clueless men. Unless you count the audience.

What is OP gif from? Looks cool.

They have been drafted, not as soldiers but as victims, in the (((last war))). Fill them with fast food, plug them into Facebook, sit them down in front of endless capeshit, they'll never notice the Greatest Fleecing in Western Civilization.

It's interesting to think why they are also so popular outside of America. In my country comic books never had a strong tradition, the more popular heroes like Spider-man, Batman, Hulk, carried their popularity through movies in the past decades but few if any can say they "grew up" with comics. Yet people still go apeshit about this movie, grown, socially adjusted men who can barely muster sympathy for disasters happening in their own country, cry into the theater because some guy in a spandex suit died. In fact comic books themselves were scorned until not too long as cringey nerd shit not unlike manga. Marvel and Disney managed to train an entire generation in so little time it's astonishing. I don't know how they did this but it's scary to think about.

It's an animated Hungarian film from 2011 called "The Tragedy of Man".

Thanks - this looks incredible.
