Moviebob has such a complex about how much he loves popular media.
It's not enough for him to just like it. He has to believe that media is the most important and valuable thing that humanity has to offer.
I wonder about that.
I think Robert likes the idea that he is one of the few "elites" that can decipher and explain the societal and historical meaning of these pop-culture products, and to be seen as a smart person to be doing so.
As far as the cape-shit movies by themselves, Robert has stated numerous times that he thinks they are at most b+ action movies, which is stating the obvious, but Robert also says that because he doesn't want to be seen as a simpleton that slobs all over dumbed down entertainment.
However, at the same heartbeat, Robert would argue that the cape-shit crap is important for the "Zeitgeist" and to understand our times, we also need to understand our popular culture, and that is why Robert thinks it all so important to have hot takes about silly movies where overpaid actors jump around in a green set wearing silly costumes, because the deeper meaning is how people react to these silly movies, and like I said, Robert thinks he is one of the few that can see these invisible threads that move pop-culture.
In other words, Robert thinks he is a "Cahiers du Cinéma" intellectual, but instead of high brow bullshit, he brings his analytical expertise to the culture involving mass produced disney shit, not so much for the movies themselves.
And I'll go a bit further and say that Robert doesn't really like cape-shit or most of these disney-esque blockbuster. Same way he doesn't seem to like comics and videogames all that much either. Whenever he talks comics or videogames, you can tell he is looking from the wiki to fake being into it, and the capeshit crap is pretty much the only thing that brings him any views anymore.
Nah, as far as what Robert presents himself in the internet, Robert likes twitter, he likes the idea that he can be seen as a authority in pop-culture on twitter, he is addicted to political sperging on twitter and craves whatever media that can deliver on his revenge fantasies or ratificate his political views, be news, movies or whatever.
That is what Robert truly consooms, the idea of being right, the fantasy of purging those who have wronged him and the satisfaction of being seen as part of the intellectual elite.
