![[mid tier effort post] Are some of us so subsumed in this culture war shit that even when discussing the tragic death of an upstanding man and fellow worker](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/KVIzxjxQuB.jpg){kind=link}
we have to clarify that "don't worry guys I know the MCU is soy shit haha-ha buuuuut ..."? We should be better than this.
As a committed communist I "disdain to conceal [my] views " and I've said it a few times that the "MCU is good actually" and I've made it known a few times. 80% of the MCU dunks on the "left" I see are lazy garbage and honestly at this point are insulting to the fellow proles working on it. Lazy takes are much worse than dumb takes.
Same as Imperialism is the "Highest Stage of Capitalism", I've said that the MCU is the highest form of moviemaking. Notice I said moviemaking and not filmmaking.
Anyone here daring to give a lazy "haha lib MCU amIrite folx?" should be forced to read Ryan Coogler's eulogy:

In my meeting after watching the film, I asked Nate Moore, one of the producers of the film, about the language. “Did you guys make it up?” Nate replied, “that’s Xhosa, John Kani’s native language. He and Chad decided to do the scene like that on set, and we rolled with it.” I thought to myself. “He just learned lines in another language, that day?” I couldn’t conceive how difficult that must have been, and even though I hadn’t met Chad, I was already in awe of his capacity as actor.
I can't imagine something like that happening in the Snyderverse that some of us hold up as a more "authentic" and interesting if mideocer movie making exercise.
Anyway, the amount of criticism the MCU gets only betrays your impotence: theoretical, for not coming up with better targets for your ire as well as practical, for not being able take any action to further your liberation.
PS if I should post to c/movies instead let me know
Edit: Nah. This isn't fun. Just downvoting arguments instead of a constructive rebuttal and engagements on bad faith isn't what I expected.
That's what I mean. I seriously don't care if they aren't your thing. Say Marvel isn't my thing instead of Marvel is just lib shit if you want to talk about it in a positive light. Marvel in the grand strokes IS lib shit but when you look closely there is a lot of unrelated good to find. What frustrates me is most people here don't bother looking closely.
Also I hate to break it to everyone. More people like the MCU than go vote. So it's not a good idea to shit in something this popular all the time if you want to persuade them to your side.
