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
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.
