So I agree with the basic point that “Modern superhero movies are capeshit” but this video would flunk even a middle school English class. Some of the points come close to being good, but the conclusion will just be very dramatic as YouTube video essayists tend to be. I will say though, judging from the name of the channel, this is possible bait. His response comments seem way too grounded to be bait though

1:16 “The greatest films of all time aren’t being made anymore. Movies are also one of the only artistic mediums that can change how someone views the world.”
4:26 “It’s almost as if they designed these characters to look cool before they decided everything else about the character”
I mean yeah, thats usually how comics are
4:58 “Showing violence as cool and justified is bad”
5:53 “Killing Thanos (the guy that literally kills half of all life in the universe) is tyrannical and evil”
8:16 - “They contribute to school shootings”
10:33 “Nobody wants to see choreographed fight scenes. If it was ballet would be more popular”
These are really bad takes
It’s such a hackneyed take coming out with this in 2026, like the crest of the wave has long passed.
“The greatest films of all time aren’t being made anymore. Movies are also one of the only artistic mediums that can change how someone views the world” is just a depressingly dumb combo of opinions, it’s all just so letterboxd brained
A Serious Cinephile
lol, lmao. He has another video called “One Battle After Another is just Star Wars inside a leftist fever-dream”, so I’m assuming this is a chud or at the most a Serious Adult In The Room lib.
He wants to do what to films?
Lots of people want to see choreographed fight scenes, I don’t think pro wrestling has ever been more popular.
I like it. What’s the alternative? Have the plot of a movie decided by the actors truly hitting each other? If you think the fight is scripted, wait until you hear about the words the actors say.

Maturity is understanding that real sports are scripted too.
Idk, I think that guy missed his shot to get that take in. Seems a bit late now

Really showing he doesn’t read. Yeah they change from the source material but it is far closer than it used to be for better or for worse. People just forget theres a lot of ass comics or they dont read them.
I’m curious how many video essay channels started post-2020. It seems like they’ve exploded as people need another income source. LLMs aren’t helping.
greatest movie of all time is actually blorg the zorg, vol. 34, released in 203563 a.d. on the planet of duklopee, in the andromeda galaxy
*this has been plinky minute of hate on hyperbole in american media, nothing is greatest of all time, because all time hasn’t happened yet and you haven’t seen everything, call it great or classic movie, smdh
