      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+"

      I think the complaint about MCU is not the output itself being middlebrow but when people start claiming it’s actually highbrow. I enjoy the films just fine but also can’t take claims they’re brilliant screenwriting seriously.

      I want the words "middlebrow" and "highbrow" to die I think anyone who earnestly says something is "middlebrow, not truly highbrow" should receive a painful electric shock

          (I mean for one thing all the "-brow" words are literally derived from 19th century phrenology but that's neither here nor there)

          I legit thought you were suggesting everything be lowbrow and a very loud part of my brain said yes

          I see your point but I don't agree. We live in era when people get very defensive when their tastes are portrayed in a negative light. My view is that people should seek out more challenging and complex cultural products and not mistake something basic for something complex.

          Wandavision is a great show but it's also not Minari or Nomadland, much less the French New Wave. People shouldn't think that by watching Wandavision, they're watching something equivalent and therefore shouldn't seek out the more challenging stuff.
