Don't be a cultural morlock living in reaction against whatever is popular. They're westerns with magic, shit isn't trying to be high art.

    The dweebs who think Endgame is high art are not (yet) equipped to appreciate actual high art. A lot of them are literal children.

        That's a question I've been asking about myself for like a decade. Like all nerds I consider myself a pretty smart dude but most of the supposed high literature never really worked for me. I make occasional attempt to get into serious novels but it never sticks and I return to my hard sci-fi books.

        Maybe it's sheltered nerd life that prevents us from relating to human drama? Maybe being a nerd is being on the autism spectrum just a tiny bit? I dunno.

        On the other hand I watch a lot of high-brow movies but more of bizarre surreal kind, less of a "intimate character study of a family going through separation" kind.
