yeah, i mean it's obviously some sort of anthropological device but now it's used as a framework for AAA adventure movie types, there's a set of interchangable stuff going on between each of them, but like i don't think there's a real meaningful difference between Emoji Movie, Wreck-It Raph and this movie, except the merely superficial. The protagonist and setting is completely interchangable. I liked wreck-it ralph too.
For sure, I think we agree this isn’t fine art or anything. I grew up watching telenovelas so I don’t care if something obviously terrible is terrible as long as it’s entertaining lol
I’m going to judge a shitpost and a graphic novel differently, you know?
Yeah you had me at the telenovela part tbh, I get people enjoying something non-cerebral in a comfort food kinda way. I guess the Disney IP pandering did make the idea sound a lot less appealing to me than it actually is.
I love the comfort food comparison, that is so perfect! Telenovelas are such a great medium because they’re really honest about what they’re trying to do.
A lot of American stuff is more hesitant about being sincere even when its camp. American movies will also genre bend more, which is fine and can be cool, but often muddles the tone of the movie imo.
I love John Waters movies for defying this because they just go HAM. I remember someone posted a video here a while ago where Divine shoots a pig with a 12 gauge and then an army of queer people cannibalize the cop. That rocks. It’s brave and it isn’t afraid to just go there.

i mean i'm not saying this lightly, there are manuals that provide a basic structure based on Campbell's work , they are popular, you can tell.

Yeah that's true that's true
Right? Not trying to counterjerk just to counterjerk, I’m just a girl who loves pulp in her pop culture orange juice.
