liberalism is having all the same prejudices as conservatives but thinking you're making an admirable personal sacrifice by politely (but vocally) pretending you don't

Frog Act posted:I loving hate comics so much. I tried to watch those stupid marvel movies and got an hour into the one with the Thanos character because the whole movie kept doing the equivalent of pausing itself and looking me in the eyes to say "SEE YOU KNOW THAT CHARACTER, HE'S FUNNY" and I couldn't help but think about Adorno's ideas about cultural degeneration due to the influence of capital should probably be a thread like the #woke thread on this stuff and the delicate related topics around creating a sort of cultural autism (would happily adopt a less loaded term) where people become unable to infer internal states and motivations of characters without these cartoonish cues even in other braindead popular media, also probably related to the division of attention in the netflix + phone national ritual, and how this plays out socially and politically theres a reddit (lol) that people send me stuff from sometimes thats movie secrets or something, that's literally just C-student reading comprehension of movies, like "in pulp fiction, there's a case that all the characters want, but if you pay attention its never actually shown what's in the case!" or "in wall-e, the humans in the future are fat because they've become complacent and lazy!". people construct their entire identities around movie consumption but either fail or are disinterested to have even a child's understanding of the sequence of events they're watching nerds obsessing with "decoding" production details for deep meaning in films while getting incensed at people who do interpretive reading of films' thematic content was bad enough, but at least that was some kind of active engagement, instead of "in star wars, leia actually knew there wasnt a rebel base on dantooine, she just wanted to mislead darth vader!"

RagnarokAngel posted:The heroes have plot armor. If your name is only mentioned in an EU novel youll probably be shot. 99.9% of all major fiction has a very bourgeois assumption about violence/suffering against major characters being categorically different than the violence/suffering of others and the masses (that's different/beyond just that the suffering of those close to your point of observation is felt more strongly), but that's an all hitherto history type of observation that can spoil your enjoyment of almost anything

Some Guy TT posted:we keep talking about doing this and the main reason i havent made the thread yet is because im really busy right now i want to take the time to put serious effort into it the thread will be about american pop culture as a whole and not just film for what its worth when i popped the idea i was just gonna start a zeroeffort thread by quoting some of the discussion here (since after this first half hour no one reads ops anyway), but my concern was it would just spiral into comic or tlj discussion without some strong guidance. a good critical analysis thread would probably need ik oversight with most of the shitposting directed towards the existing books, comics, etc thread at the same time i wouldnt want it spiraling into smg like case studies in particular readings. thats fun, but theres already space for that elsewhere, and i think most of us are more interested in correlation between modern mass media trends and political shifts than esoteric deep reads of individual works maybe some ground rules like no more than one zizek reference per page in any case there is no ethical criticism under capitalism

H.P. Hovercraft posted:c-3po's red arm he was marked as a class traitor during the robot uprising the robot uprising is not discussed because the sequels follow bougie aristocrats and ancap/rightlibts fighting reactionary fascists for scraps in their remote former colonial holdings while the robot socialist utopia reigns peacefully in the rest of the galaxy also why r2d2 turned himself off because he couldnt live with knowing what a murderous collaborator he was

H.P. Hovercraft posted:more in woke star wars otoh this seemed at the time like drumpf level dumb woke finger wagging otoh the prequels are just as plainly all about why the jedi are faux-progressive feckless ineffectual leaders who blindly believe in their elite wisdom and bray about balance and order while in reality being dumb pawns of economic interests and blind to just about every injustice in the galaxy, and progress can only come by them and the entire apparatus of their existence being ruthlessly slaughtered

im on the net me boys posted:The thing with all women reboots of franchises is they seem to be kind of mediocre at best franchises to begin with and it'd just be better if they made something new that focused on women to begin with. its bc its propaganda to prime people to think capitalism-but-with-women-oligarchs is good and feminist, when its just the same old tired poo poo and not feminist
