I generally agree with you,
Yoda, but the contrarian in me has to add some remarks.
Boundless creativity without craftsmanship will produce messy, incoherent films
I saw messy, incoherent films made with love that were much superior to nicely ordered, typical movies made with no love. Marvel films are either made with no love, or I can't see the love.
That's essentially what many blockbuster films do: they speak to us not as individuals, but as a species.
But... great films... or rather great auteurs through their films, speak to us, to every Man inside of us, at the same time addressing "species" problems in a more broader sense. Tarkovsky said:
“Modern mass culture, aimed at the 'consumer', the civilisation of prosthetics, is crippling people's souls, setting up barriers between man and the crucial questions of his existence, his consciousness of himself as a spiritual being.”
But, yeah, as Marker said:
“the naive American contemplates the sky; the Russian, or at least that Russian [Tarkovsky], settles in the sky, and contemplates the earth."
Superhero films should be for kids only. After all they are originally comic book characters.
Actually, many comic books (including manga) are directed at either adolescent, or adult people. But I'm pretty sure @
Guaporense could give you a five-paragraph long answer to this better than me.
Clearly, there's an audience for it, why would you hope to take away other people's enjoyment?
You clearly didn't get the reference at all. Think of the whole thing in a broader sense. Marvel keeps making these films based on such and such formula, because it works. It brings profit. They milk money off people, who agree to this formula, who do not expect anything else. Now imagine all these people get fed up with it. Marvel panicks. They have to find a new formula, but in order to find it, they have to experiment. Yay! They made a messy, incoherent film (might not be best words, because they already did, in some sense, multiple times, but still...), but it's interesting. It's clumsy. But it's something else. But such revolution is pretty far away, I'm afraid, so don't worry, I will not take away your enjoyment. Yet.
You seem to be very mad about movies you don't care about. Have you tried, i don't know, maybe just not watching them? I think you will be happier.
Yes. I hardly watch them, and I don't support them. Why shouldn't I watch a film, and express my opinion about it, though?
