Kinda funny how comics movies are following the same trajectory as the actual comics, just faster. Started out kinda goofy with relatively light or nonsensical plots (the Superman movies, early Captain America movies, Supergirl movie) then starting to get (mostly) more and more serious (the Batman movies going into the Blade trilogy). After that you have the more serious movies, without the overly heavy themes or edge that will start later (the Raimi Spider-man trilogy and the X-men trilogy). Next the movies wanting to be relatively realistic (Nolan Batman trilogy, beginning of the MCU). After that is the era of constant big events and crossovers (MCU and DCEU). And now We're in the middle of the "everything is subversive and edgy trying to be Watchmen or TDKR" mixed with/heading into the modern era of "representation and diversity first, virtue signaling second, everything else optional".
Just thinking about how the new popular superhero stuff is "what if superheros.... were shitty people?" made me realize the general trend of the movies went from goofy, to serious, to everything being connected for big crossover events, and now it's all going to be subversions and woke representation. Basically going through the Golden era, Silver era, Bronze era, and Modern era in less than half the time it took the American comics scene.
That's a fantastic breakdown and wonderful insight into what's happening.
I see it, but I didn't think of it that way.
The only saving grace is that SOME people are waking up to the subversion, and thankfully SOME people are recoiling at all the degenerate bullcrap. The problem, however, is that it's only SOME people and not MAJORITY of people.
So we're stuck with a bunch of normies still being brainwashed and some of them willingly accepting the indoctrination. On the upside, hopefully we see massive declines in revenue at the box office from this kind of nonsense (I really, really, REALLY hope Muslims make the biggest fuss about the gay Muslim in The Eternals because that would really make my day if heads rolled due to the disgusting portrayal of a black and Muslim gay couple sharing an on-screen kiss with one another).
