I wanted to ask this after I saw the newest Marvel movie. Am I alone in just thinking that its just pretty bad? I thought it should have ended at Endgame.

    Even before becoming an ML, I’ve pretty much given up on media. I don’t enjoy a vast majority of it. It’s either really dumbed down and generic like MCU or depressing sadness porn basically. Every time something has been recommended to me I’ve felt it falls in one of these two categories.

      Yep. SO much media is boring. I could ignore it and still enjoy media if just media made by corporations was bad; but indie media is also lack luster.

      I wish someone would make a vexillology/vexillography manga; a marxist-leninist isekai; something that isn’t poorly made. It’s not bad to copy ideas; it’s bad to plagiarism them.

We need stuff that’s sincere and holds no punches but doesn’t merely trade one end of an unrealistic perception binary for another, grimdark always seemed so…half wise to me. Like yes ugliness ugliness. But there is also beauty
