No culture but the culture pushed on you by gigantic companies trying to sell you merch. Superman v Batman is exactly the same as traditions that have been evolving naturally for thousands of years. Buying a Spiderman backpack is equivalent to knocking on wood or leaving a shot of vodka out in the woods for the leshiy. In Ant Man's name, amen.

    I mean, I like superhero stuff, but for fuck's sake, I can't even remember half of Avengers: Endgame

    The movies are flat and inoffensive pablum designed to appeal to as wide a market as possible

    (unless you're like me and found Black Panther kind of offensive for being like "Yeah, but he's a good King who built a few youth centers, so much better than actually fixing the world with your advanced technology")

      Or your neighbors, or continent. Some of that tech and medicine sure would help some post-colonial areas.

      Oh yeah I find the movies fun too. But I feel like I can enjoy them without thinking that knowing the lyrics to Spiderpig is the exact same as putting your beloved grandfather to rest by placing him in a boat and setting it on fire so he gets to Valhalla lmao

      This is clearly the best response anyway
