i need to come up with a way to say “i mean like, movies for grownups” that doesn’t make me feel like a villain
well, first you spend half an hour reassuring them that kids movies are fine and movies for young people are fine and the movies aimed at younger demographics are fine. And kids movies can be just as good and nuanced and valuable. But simple stories are fine too. And its fine that popculture block buster movies are aimed at families for mass appeal to bring in the max amount of revenue and put butts in seats. And its fine that studios hedge their bets and aim for known franchised IPs that will produce a high ROI because of the nostalgia factor because its fine that its the 5th sequel spinoff reboot of the story they liked as a kid. Its fine actually, you have to promise that you have no issues with any of that.
It's just that you would maybe sorta like to watch anything other than that.
And then you're a villain who hates fun.
