it is 2018 no one is going to slow-motion explain to you how crossovers work or what the genre conventions are read a book
"um so the god Apollo just...shows up? And then he shoots some arrows? And then he leaves? PRETTY LAX STORYTELLING IMO"
what's amazing about this is the film itself CITES ITS PREDECESSORS in the serialized genre with a short discussion of Flash Gordon. Serialized fiction always says "Did you miss the last film? well, we'll try to catch you up!" but it takes as given you have a lunchbox knowledge.
There is a kinetic, delightful sequence in #InfinityWar where Spidey is webbing all his falling colleagues together and shouts "sorry, I forgot your names!"
that's what serialized superhero stories are: smashing action figures together. Critique must approach on those terms.
@FilmCritHULK What say you to this? I understand that you appreciate the view of the critic who wrote the piece, but Mr. Oliveira articulates very well how I feel about it.
Literally already a section on it this on the piece I'm writing. Short version: yes and no. And the fact that people are criticizing each other for believing or the other sort of belies the point.
Honored to get a reply and can’t wait for your piece! I do have to say that I found the critic’s unwillingness to see this as something different than the usual stand- alone narrative and failure to acknowledge the context of the film as dismissive and a little snobby.
Short version: the tone of chatter can be dismissive and snobby, but the argument as to why is most definitely not. But there are greater reasons for this dichotomy.
this last sentence is...i can't believe anyone would run it.pic.twitter.com/MhwSSmvjQs
Brodys one of the most brilliant, thoughtful film critics there is. His record speaks for itself. And he absolutely represents a group of filmgoers who see these movies and don't think about them after. And that view has just as much a right to exist, and have insight, as any fan
And again, I like these movies. But the legitimate perspective here gets treated like a personal affront and I feel like that's just as bewildering, because the real story here is the growing gap between fan and casual movie-goer.
And to be clear, his argument is not that it's stupid that people like them and think about them after, it's that it presumes.
