      Exactly what blockbusters should be, I think. No pretending this or that moment was meaningful and liberatory. No strained thinkpieces. No ten-year, multi-platform backstory. Here's Godzilla. Here's Kong. They fight. Stuff blows up. Grab some popcorn. Give us money.https://twitter.com/GameSpot/status/1376613930928205824 …

      In Godzilla vs. Kong, a giant lizard and a giant ape fight--and that's the best thing we can say about it. If you're expecting a halfway-intelligent script or a set of human characters who act like thinking beings, you'll be disappointed... Our review: https://trib.al/Jou1HHs  pic.twitter.com/gFxEjRqufL

      Always extra points for original content, which they miss. But there's just a refreshing honesty and clarity of purpose here. It insults your intelligence *less* than the other stuff.

      In general culturally, I think it's important to know that junk is junk. You can enjoy it, but maybe understanding that you're being undernourished encourages you to seek out other things. But if people start convincing you that junk is actually good for you, well....

      Just don't think there's an intrinsic obligation to use art to do anything in particular. If you want to Say Something that's swell, but people create for different reasons. Bothered mostly by art that pretends to be what it isn't & insists we play along.https://twitter.com/johngary/status/1376950303103217665 …

      I don't know how you can be a thoughtful consumer of culture (which Nwanevu certainly is) and also believe this. Giant movies should always aim to say something meaningful about the world we live in, just like small ones. https://twitter.com/OsitaNwanevu/status/1376886120475156485 …

      Right, what giant monster movies say is "it's thrilling to watch giant monsters fight." The aesthetic pleasure is in the sublime spectacle of battle & monstrosity. Other "meanings" are usually tacked on.

          Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, if people aren't making dazzling spectacles for their own sake, the medium is being wasted. But we should want diversity, not conglomerates smothering everyone under a particular kind of film while we invent reasons to justify their dominance.

          Is that hot take true based on any look at the genre or what you feel like is true because more tweets are needed for the timeline?

          All artistic meanings are “tacked on,” though, in that readers or viewers create them out of their reactions and their lives.
