Probably gonna get yelled at here but I'm so sick of superheroes I could shit.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

OMG YES JFC can we do something else, please????

[(Anonymous)]

Well, don't watch 'em. Just let everybody else have their fun.

[(Anonymous)]

The problem is that superhero movies (and other franchise movies) are like kudzu, they choke out everything else

[(Anonymous)]

It's ok to not like things, but don't be a dick about the things you don't like. There are<\i> other types of movie in wide release still.

[(Anonymous)]

MCU movies absolutely do take oxygen away from other genres of movie, that's just a fact.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

the problem for me is that it's not only MCU movies. There are A LOT of different superhero movies up all the time and if not them then another franchise/remake. (Maybe that's what you mean, top)

I prefer self contained movies with original characters and stories. I'm absolutely exhausted by the current cinema scene.

[(Anonymous)]

There is a lot less variety at the cinema now. The studios make big money on franchises so that’s what they focus on. If someone wants to see anything else, they’re unlikely to find it on the big screen :(

[(Anonymous)]

I feel you!
They take the most popular time slots, they choke all the other movies from being made.
I watch a lot of different movies but because I have luxury of time and living in a big city. Not everyone has it. Sometimes you go to the movies and all you can see Marvel shit #1, Marvel shit #2, Not Marvel Superhero shit #1. People aloud to be annoyed at that

[(Anonymous)]

People being too damn loud over that.

[(Anonymous)]

Not as loud as people pretending that liking superhero movies is still a nerd culture *shrugs*

[(Anonymous)]

DA

Those people aren’t everywhere in the same way as the people complaining about superhero movies being shoved down their throats, or the people complaining about those people who are sick of superhero movies because they still like them.

I’m sure people who “pretend that liking superhero movies is still nerd culture” are still very much around in big numbers, but they’re not really as omnipresent as the others. It feels more anecdotal to find them everywhere. Maybe it’s also anecdotal to not find them everywhere, but I almost never hear people saying that or complaining about that compared to people just complaining about the movies or complaining about people complaining about the movies.

And this is just a nitpick on my part, but as much as they’ve become mainstream too, superhero movies are still kind of nerd culture. A lot of nerdy people still enjoy them(although obviously not all nerds do), and they started out as a nerd culture thing more than anything else. I know that some people think that nerd culture and mainstream culture can never overlap, but I disagree. I think that it honestly feels a bit gatekeepy to say that superhero movies are no longer nerd culture, like you can’t be a nerd and still like them. I’m sure that’s not what you’re actually saying, but that’s how it feels to me.

[(Anonymous)]

I see your point, but that's not my experience at all. I get more "the only thing is worth watching is MCU" people everyday. Of course it's anecdotal but it is as anecdotal as yours experience. So I am a bit oversaturated by superhero media and I want some different things. And I am not from USA! Why do we get this amount of superhero themes too?!! But I absolutely believe that you get more people being fussy about superhero movies.

I just can't agree about nerd culture. I don't think that nerds liking something = it's a a nerd thing. I think right now it's more a mainstream thing that some nerds like.

[(Anonymous)]

I understand, there really is no right or wrong perspective or experience here, and I was being short-sighted in my response.

[(Anonymous)]

Literally just ran across a post of someone talking about how they had to go to three different stores to find pirate toys for their niece. They said everything was either superheros or barbies.

The superhero thing IS everywhere.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn’t mean that superheroes aren’t everywhere. I feel like that’s just objectively true that they are. Just that I don’t see people talking about whether superhero movies are nerd culture or not nearly as much as I see people complaining about superhero movies or defensive fans of said superhero movies. It’s fine to complain about their prevalence everywhere, because that’s an understandable thing to do. I didn’t make that clear that I thought that in my response.

It sucks that superheroes have taken over so much that it was that hard for your niece to get her pirate toys, that is frustrating. I like superheroes, but having just one kind of thing be so front and center every place you look is way past overkill.

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe the problem was they were going to stores, meanwhile I just typed pirate toys into google while sitting on my sofa and I got more options than I know what to do with.
