      What does that mean? I mean if you are saying the very best movies are better than any television, I'd agree, although that only applies to a small number of movies. How does, say, a typical Marvel movie stack up against The Wire?

          But also surely you mean that the experience of watching something in a theater, with a crowd, is different from (and superior to) watching it in your own home

          I don't see the point in the entire competition either; they are two very different mediums as far as storycrafting and presentation goes. There are terrible films and terrible shows. It's like someone trying to assert why painting is worse than sculpture. It is just ???

          I resent the fact that "typical Marvel movie"--generally exceptionally well-crafted pulp entertainment--is your shorthand for crappy cinema.pic.twitter.com/w8OEVHpnIn

          The Wire is better than any Marvel movie.

          Also The Wire is better than most movies.

          That's like comparing a musical soundtrack to an opera. They are inherently different things so suggesting that one is inherently better shows nothing but your particular prejudice.

          I love crime dramas, have no use for Super Hero movies. Am I normal?
