      "I only eat fine dining, to prove I truly understand cuisine and am not a basic bitch, or junk food to prove I have an animal id and I'm not a pretentious fop But don't catch me going to some restaurant *trying* to be upscale but failing That's just cringe"

      "I watch the Coen Brothers, I watch experimental indie dramas, I watch foreign films from the French and Italian New Wave OR I watch wrestling, cartoons, porn, dank memes But don't catch me stanning something *trying* to be deep in the damn MCU, foh"

      This is, of course, a transparently insecure, adolescent mindset It's obvious terror of being caught in your feels in any kind of public way that's legible to the normies

      Your feels are either really deep and really dark and complicated, about shit dummies like your MOM are too basic to understand Or they're just raw animal reactions to pure dumb fun, stuff that's too immature and schlocky for your MOM to tolerate

      But that "middlebrow" aspiration to portray and communicate difficult emotional states in a broadly accessible way To be in a big crowd of people ALL feeling their feels TOGETHER, including people like your MOM That's intolerable No thanks I'll be in my room, stompstompslam

      Anyway I personally just find this shit really transparent This is who I was in my 20s and that... Fucking sucked You think that the "paradox" of being ultra highbrow/lowbrow and only hating on the "middlebrow" stuff makes you deep and nuanced but in its own way it's ultrabasic

      There is nothing at all invalid about the preferences of someone who really likes the Olive Garden as a special treat that actually is better than McDonald's while being convenient and to their tastes in a way the authentic hole in the wall you like is not Olive Garden is fine

      Wandavision is very clear about being what it is - it is a stirring and challenging exploration of grief while also being in the comforting, easy-to-digest format of a big cultural juggernaut like the MCU That's fine That is a perfectly valid reason to like it

      The fact that it's so heavily marketed and advertised so everyone is watching it at the same time and everyone is talking about grief and coping at once IS GOOD It is a GENUINELY POSITIVE THING ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE

      There are obviously many negatives to the existence of the Disney+ juggernaut But if WandaVision were the "genuinely Lynchian" weird surreal indie drama some people want it to be, I could not enjoy it in the same way that I enjoy this show Which would be genuinely disappointing

      I get the feeling that a lot of hipster douches actively *dislike* that "middlebrow" shows get everyone talking about artistic shit "Ugh I don't wanna hear Basic Becky talking about coping and grief about some shit she saw streaming on Disney+"
