Reading that is like slogging through pure molasses Here is a translation from idiotspeak to english so you don't have to share my pain: * People identify with the hero of a story. * Film heros used to be grounded in regular peoples real world experience * Western were grounded by rural people experiences with horses * Action flicks were grounded in military mens experiences * Modern superhero flicks are grounded in nothing but fantasy, ergo something something millennias are weak baby piss ants identifying with a fantasy also what the gently caress does "Indexical Reality" mean in this context? Is this a fancy way of saying "physical reality?"

White Rock posted:also what the gently caress does "Indexical Reality" mean in this context? Is this a fancy way of saying "physical reality?" I have no idea but I feel a need to break it down. Okay: "What sets the 21st-century superhero film apart is the break it represents between both indexical reality — a commonplace of the digital-era spectacular — and any known physical experience." so there's a difference between the indexical/deictic reality and the known physical experince, which in other words means "the real world", and "the physical world" ...? also it's both of them, between which there is a break! i think the sentence is basically the worst way to academicly say that reality and fantasy are two different things, and superheros are on the fantasy side of the coin. i do agree that super hero movies are poo poo though

So who would be the goodies vs baddies in a symbolical reflection of modern society? Instead just make up an evil, and make up a good, and have them clash over life or love or friendship or whatever

hackbunny posted:This is all true though and something I've noticed myself. No idea what conclusions to draw from it though My bad theory: Superhero flicks are grounded in the experiences of powerless people. A story arc common of many superheros is that they start off as a powerless nobody, somehow get superpowers, and end a victorious hero in a position of power and control over their surroundings. If you're stuck in a lovely job with a mountain of debt and no real prospect of that situation changing anytime soon it's a fun escapist fantasy to watch a similar loser get strong and kick their oppressor's rear end. Maybe the reason superhero flicks have gotten relatively more popular is that a larger percentage of the population feels powerless and hopeless.

PDP-1 posted:My bad theory: Superhero flicks are grounded in the experiences of powerless people. i think superhero movies today are popular because they're pure escapism. at a time when so much entertainment feels like it needs to make a greater point about society and tends to get preachy about it, superhero movies have simple stories and flashy effects. that's why the Marvel movies have done so well and why DC movies are terrible on account of being directed by humorless dickhead zach snyder

and escapist fantasies can placate the masses temporarily so they dont fix the structural problems of society, so they keep seeking escapist fantasies...

Except Clinton wasn’t as amorally capitalistic as the Disney corporation this lady is laying her life down for free to defend.

can we stop airing awards shows on tv? every one begets even worse thinkpieces than the one that came before it. granted, "Oprah for president" isn't a new thing, but it should have stayed dead assuming that black people uniformly approve of neoliberalism and the post-Clinton democratic party seems pretty racist too, my guy
