Superhero shit is no longer for us. Activists have taken it over. I stopped becoming interested in this shit right after Avengers Endgame. Just from the direction THAT was going, I knew it was only going to get worse. I'm glad I got out when I did, because it's fucking horrible now. You're literally watching the same movie over and over again, but with different characters. There's nothing new. Nothing challenging. None of the characters are in any real danger because the writers have never had anything to lose in their sad, pathetic lives. It's all about "MY STRUGGLE", "MY VOICE". Me, me, and fucking me. I hate GenZ.
Good post, but speaking personally, superheroes were never for me. Not even when I was a kid.
Sam Raimi's 2002 Spider-man movie came along, and I couldn't care less. I heard all about it and outwardly said "Nope, that's not for me", and inwardly said "That looks stupid and gay". Then over time, I sat through a handful of superhero movies with friends and dates. I was not entertained by any of them, but pretended to be because that's just what you have to do in social situations. Over time, there came more and more superhero movies, and therefore, less reasons for me to go to a theater. I probably only saw less than 20 movies in a theater in the 2000s altogether, and less than 10 in the 2010s. I have yet to visit a theater in the 2020s, and the decade will be halfway over at the end of the year. There seems to be no stopping point for all these fucking superhero movies, as we enter our third decade of always having at least one in theaters. They're ever-present in nerd shit, and I
really don't appreciate them encroaching into video games. A zero-wokeness Spider-man game would still draw no interest from me, but yet, Spider-man 2 is the wokest game out there. They even launched the PlayStation 5 with some race-swapped Spider-man expansion thing. That is what they chose to be the flagship launch title for their new game console. The premiere thing you see that establishes your first impressions of the platform.
That is lame. Spider-man is lame. The presentation is lame. The concept of a radioactive spider biting a teenager and turning him into a superhero is lame. People who think that's interesting are lame. Spider-man is the superhero equivalent of Sonic the Hedgehog, with both being very fast-moving snarky teenage heroes. Do I even need to go into details about the kind of people who wind up compelled by those characters? All of that shit is super lame. I don't even remember anyone being fans of Spider-man when I was growing up. Even the kids who liked Disney were the weird, lame ones, but even those kids didn't give a fuck about Spider-man.
