Kenya: It's not gay if I want to date Shiraishi but as bros, right?
Gin: I'm not an expert, but that sounds pretty gay.
Yuji: I'm an expert. That's gay.

Why do people (mostly critics/”intellectuals”) like to think that something funny = something irrelevant? Be like one of my teachers. He doesn’t see good movies, he sees the bad ones because they’re more interesting. And we’re talking about a university literature teacher.
*throws the Quixote at them* have fun, laugh, take yourselves less seriously, learn to see through the laughs. Because satyre has been always the best way to criticise. You want to say BvS was great? Go on, no problem, you have a point. You want to say it comparing it to Marvel movies that, in your opinion, have “brainless, low-stakes action that’s as interesting as watching a waiter fall down the stairs while carrying a tray of dishes; juvenile, self-referential jokes that are neither clever nor funny; and an imaginative perspective whose boundaries are marked by other movies and comic books”? Get out of my fucking way. Funny thing, they didn’t mention CA: TWS because then the “Marvel is teeny and stupid” (not an exact quote) argument (again: why do they think teens are idiots?) (also... comic things making fun of comic things, horrible right? Not taking themselves so seriously? what is this world becoming into)
Age of Ultron is one of the examples they use. It can be bad (god, we know how bad it is for some things) but saying it’s just mindless entertainment? Wow did you miss the part where Tony was trying to find the perfect solution for every problem? Did you miss the part where that utopia turned into dystopia? Where occidental governments didn’t care about a war until it involved them? Or, in Deadpool, did you miss the fact that a fictional character interacting with the “real” world, just for that, questions what’s real (or if there’s something real)? Nothing heavy philosophical, right?
Or, Guardians of the Galaxy, did you miss the part of “everybody can make a difference"? Or the “you can do good things even if you think you’re a bad person”? Something that’s actually said in Deadpool, too (but, you know, there’s no thing like meaning in those movies). Or, you know, you don’t need an important reason to do something right, just do it?
Maybe the problem is some people can’t see these topics if they aren’t thrown in their face directly. “On this Earth, every act is a political act.” funny thing, this applies also to every movie created in this Earth. Everything can make you think, even the shittiest shit, and that means that something made “just for fun” is also deep (even if it’s not).
Also: maybe the Marvel vs DC eternal fight exists because they use the same topics in a different way, not because one is silly and the other one is deep. (”Batman v Superman is too smart for Marvel fans”? Really, man? You know there are Marvel AND DC fans? It’s not excluding?)
planetjizz replied to your ask:
it's because most people who use words like "equalist" or "humanist" are people who refuse to use the word "feminist" because they think it means something else, ie dudebros who think feminism = man-hating so says "equalism not feminism"
ooh alright i see where that would cause offense, though those guys are just petty/uneducated. at least from what i learned in school equalism/humanism arent bad or unethical, theyre just set out originally to address different problems, so i assume feminists wouldnt be against the movement but rather the dudebros who pocket the term incorrectly
